I am changing my username to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) cheekey. And since I don't want to have to pay the $15 bucks and go through lj's username change process, I'm just going to create a new one. I'm making it friends only from now on. I've added a few of you, but if you'd like to still be on my friends list, then add a comment to my new journal.

Woe. Is. Me.
Bit of a boring weekend. I didn't really do much but lie around. I was really bored on Thursday so I rummaged through the basement and watched some home movies. That was really funny. I hated how I looked when I was 11 - I had these big thick glasses. I'm so glad I have contacts now.
I have nothing to do.

Our computer was just completely cleaned out and restored and everything so now it is running great. I wonder how long that will last, hmm....
My dad had a coupon for Chipotle so we had that for dinner, and I gotta say I wasn't that impressed. Everyone talks about how great it is, and I didn't really like it. But then again, Mexican food isn't my favorite.
I finished my PTP project!!! Well, I kind of needed to as I'm presenting it tomorrow. I ended up only talking about 3 types of Australian music because I only have a minute and a half, plus I'm playing samples of music so that'll take up some time. I'm hoping it'll all go OK because I'm really nervous about getting up and doing this.
And I picked up my thing for the ACT. Lots of stupid bubbles to fill in, but I'm almost done so that's good. I'm hoping to get it sent in by Monday since it's due Friday.

I'm still a little bit sick, but tons better. Last week, I was having problems with my ears, and I think they're finally just about better. So all's good with my health.
In Math today, we had a sub, and apparently we might have to all retake the test we took on Friday. There's a rumor that someone stole the test right before we took it so she has plans for us to do it again. I don't know if it's true or not, but it scares me. Plus, she gave us a ton of homework today, more than usual so I'm thinking that it was a punishment.
Free State plays basketball tonight and I'm going with my dad. I really don't want to, but it's been a while since we've gone so I feel like I should. This is the last home game for the girls, and there's one more after this for the guys so it'll be over soon. It's not that I don't enjoy going and watching. It's just that it wastes my whole evening. I'm going to have to tape all my shows tonight, and it'll put me way behind schedule.
Woke up this morning and I was so tired. I still kind of am, and now I have yet more Quidditch stuff to do for CH (I did it pretty much all day yesterday on my day off from school, but it was all right). I hit a brainstorm last night though, and I finally figured out the Beater task for next match. Those things are so hard to come up with!

Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. And Double Yuck.
I heard that if you have your flu shots, you're more likely to get it than if you don't (screwy system, huh?). Well, I didn't have my flu shots, shame on me, and I have had one hell of a weekend.
Luckily I had to spend the weekend with my grandma because my dad was restaining the majority of the floors in our house, and she's a nurse so she took good care of me. I thought it was just a normal cold at first, but around Saturday it started to get really bad. Right now, I'm to the point where as long as I'm sitting or lying down I'm OK. But if I stand up, I get all dizzy and my legs start shaking. I haven't eaten much in the last couple of days, which sucked because my grandma cooks really good food. And I wasted just about all of the weekend sleeping. But I'm gradually getting better. I'm back home with no one to take care of me, though. My dad will be home from work soon, but he doesn't know what to do with me when I'm sick.
I don't know if I'll go back to school tomorrow. I might be able to squeeze in one more sick day. I don't like to think about all I've missed, though. Too much homework to make up. Yuck.
Well, I'm going to go back under my covers and sleep some more. Just wanted to check in with the internet world and make sure nothing exploded.

So much snow!!! I HATE snow!!!
Now, I'm a typical high school student. Any reason that gets us out of school I love, but we've already used our freebie snow days (at least, I think we have. Schools make the snow day system so confusing) so it'll get docked on at the end. Plus, I'll have to deal with all the crappy snow.
I almost swerved off the road, and I was so nervous. But I made it home, only then I couldn't get up my driveway! So I had to park my car right on the end and then shovel the driveway just so I could get my car in. I feel sorry for my dad because he works in Kansas City so the traffic will be bad enough coming home, but if you add this to it - it's going to take him forever to get home. I don't see how we could possibly have school tomorrow.
BUT, on a happier note. Happy Mardi Gras everyone!! We had King Cake in my French class, which was soooo good, but I didn't get the baby. I got extra credit points in Math for wearing Mardi Gras beads. Most people wore theirs only for the extra credit, but I made it very clear that I was wearing mine because I wanted to, otherwise I would have taken them off for the rest of the day. And I have witnesses that saw me wear them ALL day. So there!
So glad to be home finally.

*blows dust off cover of journal*
All right, so it has been a couple months since I updated this thing so maybe I should.
This last weekend, my sister came here (she's been bored up in Nebraska) and we went shopping as we usually do when we're together. We went to a record store and I found one of Revolver for only $20! I was very excited about that. I also got a free calender when I bought it. Woo hoo!
And now this weekend, my dad and I are going to Lincoln for the KU - Nebraska game. We're leaving Friday, but we won't get there until about 1:30 in the morning because Free State plays at 7:00 and we're going because we're playing my cousin's school and she's cheering. My grandparents are coming too so it's going to be lots of fun. But then, I've got a 4 hour drive up there and my dad will probably make me drive (you know, for more experience), which I hate driving when it's dark.
OK, so I updated. I don't have much else to say. Hopefully next time, it won't be two months later.

Oh dear, it's been over a month.
This last weekend, I went to stay with my grandma and grandpa. Saturday, my grandma took me "sight-seeing" as she called it for Chrismtas presents. I was apparently being difficult because I said I didn't really want anything. I'm having trouble thinking of stuff and everyone keeps asking. My other grandma is getting me Help on DVD, though, and I'm really excited about that!
A week ago today, I was offically accepted to go to Australia next summer! I've got a long way to go to get there as far as fundraising goes. If anyone has any suggestions (other than getting a job) I'm open to them.
My 8 page English paper is due on Tuesday. For those of you that kept up with my journal back in April, you'll remember that I had a 10 page history one due that I left until the last weekend to start. Turned out, I got really really sick that weekend. So it ended up sucking big, but I pulled a 'B' out of it. THIS time, I have 5 of my 8 pages done, which means I only have to write 3 tomorrow. Ironically, last week I got sick and I was so scared I wasn't going to get better and it was going to happen again. Thankfully, I'm about 90% better.
Tuesday, Courtney is coming home and we're getting PoA!!! I honestly can't wait until Tuesday when school's out. I need a break.

Well, this week's another short week, but I have all the notes for my term paper due Thursday, and I've got some major work to do on them. I think I've gotten all the tests for this week out of the way, which is good.
Weekend was awesome! I was at Borders with my sister and I bought this French verb book for like 6 bucks so that was cool, but then on our way out I bumped into my friend, Sarah, whom I haven't seen since...beginning of August I think. We talked for a while, caught up with each other. It was really nice to see her.
I've been on such a Beatles kick recently. And it bugs me because I think I loaned all of my good CD's to my brother. I have a couple of the early ones and I have one that I made with a bunch of songs, but I'm getting sick of them. I also watched A Hard Day's Night, and I was going to watch Help, but my tape is like 7 or 8 years old and it's so crappy. I really want it on DVD, but I haven't been able to find it in stores. Looks like I'll have to order it online. Last night, I watched three straight anthologies. I also discovered that there was a Beatles cartoon made and it is the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life. The voices so do not match the character and the plotlines are so weird. There's this one where they're on a cruise, and they keep getting recongized so they hide in an ocean sinking thingy and they plunge into the ocean. This octopus falls in love with them all and then the Beatles for some odd reason start singing, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" to this octopus. I could go on for hours. It's so cute.
And I have offically delayed it long enough. I have to start my long term project for Writer's Club this weekend. I have to, and I will.

What a long, long weekend.
I survived the trip with my grandpa, but the drive there was exhausting. I didn't eat breakfast and I really didn't want to stop for lunch because I wanted to get there quicker, so I had a pretty bad headache throughout the trip. Plus, when we got to Lincoln there was some kind of chemical spill and one of the main roads was completely blocked off so we had to take this huge detour all the way around town to get to my sister's apartment building. There probably was a quicker way, but I'm not from Lincoln so I didn't know where I was going.
My sister had to shoot an instructional video for a class and she asked me to be in it. It was pretty bad, though - I'm a terrible actor. But it was fun. I bought her the Aladdin DVD for HER early half birthday (same day as my actual birthday) and I got to spend about an hour in Barnes and Noble, which I rarely ever get to do when I'm with her.
On Friday, we went to see PoA in the dollar theater. That was fun because I haven't seen it since it came out back in June so this was my second time. It was a lot better because the first time it was so crowded that we had to sit in the front and stare up at the screen the entire time. I also got to check out the University library, which the two of us deemed perfect for a horror movie. This thing was HUGE and it was so old and creepy looking.
The drive back home wasn't near as long, but I'm glad to be home finally. I missed my cat.

This week is going to be a short week 'cause I have Friday off, but I still can't believe it's only Monday.
I didn't have to give my French tour today, so I got to practice another day. I hope I go tomorrow because I don't think I can stand the nerves. I also have a huge math test tomorrow. We're doing Trig right now, and there was so much crap that I had to memorize. I waited until the last day (of course) to start so I came up with a couple mnemonic devices. So I should be OK.
I gave my forms for my teacher recommendations to my teachers today for my trip. I should have them all back by next week so I can start getting ready for my interview, which I'll have to reschedule because they've put me right in the middle of my grandparents' 50th anniversary. I feel like I'm getting all these signs telling me not to go.
I have until Thursday to write something. We were all warned last week at writer's club that if we didn't write something over the week, there would be "a punishment". No idea what it could possibly be, but I'm scared of Anthm so I'm going to do what he says.
Time for bed. I don't want to go to school tomorrow.

Well, October is actually here now. And in 1 month and 4 days, I will be 17. That just feels old. I don't feel old.
Tomorrow is my People to People meeting, and I'll find out how much it's actually going to cost to go to Australia. I'm going with my grandma because my parents can't, and tomorrow when I see her I'm going to have to have a little talk with her. Next weekend, I am supposed to drive up to Nebraska all by myself. BUT she doesn't trust me so she wants my grandpa to go with me since she'll be working. My grandpa is very critical when it comes to driving. I won't be able to go over the speed limit, I won't be able to pass any slow people on the highway (I'll be one of the slow people), and he'll probably tell me that I drive too recklessly. I really hope I can get out of this. My dad offered to talk to them, but I told him that I'm a big girl and I can do it myself. Now, I'm starting to regret that.
I got a lucky break in school today. I was supposed to be giving an oral tour of a house that I drew in French, but we ran out of time. So I'll have to do it on Monday, which I really don't think I'll be any more ready. But I guess I'll survive. I always do.
And I need to remember to email Ashli. I keep forgetting.

It's been way too long. I haven't been doing much lately. My sister came to visit me this past weekend and bought me an early birthday present - Quidditch World Cup! So far, it's been a lot of fun. But when I get to the World Cup games, they're so much harder than when I play at Hogwarts. And the ghost from the challenges...Edgar? Did they make him up or did I miss something?
Been bored. My life is boring.

Homework absolutely sucks. This year was going to be different. I was supposed to have less homework. For the most part, I do, but today I just got a relapse from last year. I started my homework at about 1:00 and I just got done around 5:00. That's four hours! I ended up boycotting my French homework because I was just sick of working!
So here's my question to all you other high school students out there: How much homework do you get on average on weekdays? On weekends?
Oh yeah, and what do you all call your TV changer? The remote or the controller? I've just been wondering ;)

The Royals suck!
Well, OK, we all know that. But now they really suck. My sister drove back yesterday so the two of us could go to "Autograph Day" at Kauffman Stadium and get a bunch of the Royal's autographs. When we got there, they had like five lines and you got into one and waited to get one player's. So total, they had five players out there signing autographs. And most of them were just bullpen pitchers. Nobody I care about! So neither of us got our favorite Royal to sign anything.
PLUS, I got a major sunburn out of the whole thing. It's never been this bad before. And now the back of my neck is green because...well, I don't want to get into it. But it's green!!
But I'm back to being bored. Again. I have two tests tomorrow and I don't think I'm really ready for either one. So I guess we'll see how it goes.

First day of school sucked. So boring and I already have homework. Not a lot, but I still had some. Plus, I had to fill out all those stupid syllabus things and have my dad sign them. Those things always make me feel like I'm in seventh grade. Do we really need to go over class guidelines? It's so stupid!
What's the difference between a migraine and a headache? It has something to do with nausea right? In the last 4 days, I have had 3 pretty bad headaches that have lasted all day long. I have tried to take some Tylonel, but I can't swallow the damn things! It's so hard! My dad is going to get me some liquid Tylonel. The reason I asked about the nausea is because for a minute, I was starting to feel sick to my stomach. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

My sister has gone back to college so here I am, all alone, bored out of my mind. Tonight is my last night to stay up late before going back to school (I know we'll have lots of fun tonight Danielle!). I don't think I'm ready.
I was backing out of my driveway this morning and I kinda hit my brother's car. There was no big dent. The paint just scratched off a little. But I guess I got even with him for wrecking my CD player, ha ha ha.
Hey, can someone please tell me how I change the 'comment links' on my journal to say something other than "leave a comment"? I have been trying to figure it out for the longest time. At first I thought it had something to do with a paid account, but I've seen people with free ones who have changed theirs. It's probably something really easy that I'm just not seeing.
EDIT: I heard tell that OotP came out on paperback today. Is there any truth to this rumor?

My sister and I were supposed to get up early this morning because my grandparents were coming to drive us out to Kansas City and go school shopping for her. My sister (Courtney) was supposed to get up at 8:30. Well, she has trouble getting up so I told her I'd set my alarm for 8:35 and then go wake her up if she wasn't up yet and then I'd go back to sleep. She told me that her alarm was going to go off at 8:40 and assured me that she'd get up and I could go back to sleep. Well, I get woken up at 9:30 when my grandparents are there, waiting on us. I didn't get to take a shower and I had to get dressed in like five minutes. We were in a hurry because my grandma had to go to work in the early afternoon. So I was pretty cranky all day long.
When we were shopping for Courtney's college stuff, I started getting really jealous because I want to get out of high school so badly. And the more and more I think about it, the more and more I think I want to go to college in Chicago. I have reasons (most of them being non-academic, but oh well). I'm going to talk to my English teachers and my counselor when I get back to school and if there are any schools in Chicago that have good English programs, then Chicago will definitely go on my short list.
Oh God. Two weeks from tonight, I will be getting ready to go to bed to get up for school. At like 5:30 in the morning. I hate high school.
