Nostalgic?

Today I saw a freshman at school who looked exactly like Daniel Radcliffe circa the first Harry Potter movie. It was awesome. :)

It's far too early in the daytime

Currently I'm waiting for the water to boil for my dinner. I'm making ziti with chicken, I feel like such a chef! :)

Today I got home from school to find my mother deathly sick in bed. I drove us to my doctor's appointment, and was out of there by 3:30 or so. I drove to Mel's, and we hung out for the first time since November, and watched all four hours of the current season of 24. I love that show, so much, ugh.

So while I'm waiting for dinner, I'm going to do some homework. Thank god I'm staying after school tomorrow for Art Honor Society, I can get help with my English paper. Oi vey. Sometimes I feel like I'm overworking myself, but it's what worked last year to get my butt into gear for MCAS, and I'm hoping it'll work this year for SATs, and college apps. I slightly envy my mom for being so sick. :/

"Four for you, Kevin Jonas! You go, Kevin Jonas!"

The last week made me realize how much closer I've grown to my current friends, and that makes me happy. I've eliminated everyone from my life whose relationships were unhealthy for me, and now for the most part I'm surrounded by good influences. Now all I need to work on are my procrastination habits and my laziness. I really just hate winter.

I think there has been a cease-fire between a close friend and I, and I think (or hope) that we can continue where we left off in our friendship. I miss her lots and lots, and I really hope this is the end of all our petty arguing, fighting, and cold shoulders. I miss my friend.

To make us all fit back together

It bothers me when my weekend routine is distrupted. I don't really care about your date with your girlfriend. I have somewhere to be, too, you know. Failing to tell anyone your plans shouldn't constitute panic on my side of this deal. I shouldn't have to make the calls.

On the up hand, my counselor says that I've become a lot calmer since last year. I no longer rip up Kleenexes, which apparently was a nervous habit of mine.

Don't tell me what's gonna happen next

Today was the first time in three weeks that I've hung out with my friends at lunch. With all the chatter and jokes going around the table, it made me realize how much I love and missed them. :) Hopefully our Doctor Who marathon will be happening soon, I got all four seasons!

Just call it a day

Why is always something with you? Why can't we have a happy, normal relationship? Why does everything we say on the internet not transfer over to real life?

I don't know why you are so afraid to open up to me. I'm your best friend. I'm here for you.

thanks for the memories

Finally, 2008 is over. In some aspects, I'm upset. It's been an exciting, action-packed year, full of new experiences and situations. I've grown a lot, I've met lots of new and amazing people, and I've learned a lot about my friends and the world in general. In other aspects, I'm so glad this year is over. It's been an emotionally and physically exhausting year, full of fights, drama, and nervous breakdowns. The stress I put myself under in 2008 was astounding, and I know I found a lot of inner strength to have to deal with all that. Not to mention the rollercoaster I was on at the beginning of the year, dealing with a certain boy. 2008 saw me through my highest highs and my lowest lows, and although it hasn't been an easy year, it certainly has been one of the most rewarding.

2008 is over, and there's no going back. I'm not going to dwell on the past; I'm going to think about the future and live in the present. Goodbye 2008, it was fun while it lasted.
