oh the stresses of high school
some reasons why i am not sleeping and am currently breaking out:
- SCHOOL: AP classes are pulling my eyelashes out, one by stinkin' one. i don't understand ap lit and i don't think i ever will. ap gov is just...stupid. i don't really care that much about the government, sorry to those of you who do. and then math is just pointless; especially with a terrible teacher who you can't understand in the first place.
- MUSICAL: memorizing songs you barely have learned proves to be very very difficult
- COLLEGE HOUSING: i don't get to apply till next week and people are already applying now! where do i wanna live?! i'm thinking heritage halls either tingey or whitney... suggestions?
- FRIEND DRAMA: i hate those people who're like "oh i HATE drama, blah blah blah" and then turn around and create a ton! and then the people who are just overall obnoxious and like to rule the world.
- FAMILY: i love my family, i do. but sometimes i just need to step away and take a breather...
whew, that felt nice to get out.

rain
it has been raining the last two days and i LOVE IT!
it just makes me feel so happy to walk in the rain and smell the rain (minus the worms).
and sitting inside reading a book gets that much better when you can hear the rain beating down on your safe secure house. sleeping is much more fitful when it's raining too.
love it!!

the power of smiling
today i had play practice and was pretty bummed; i wanted to go shopping with mom and party, you know?
but i had to go, so i went.
turns out we were learning choreography to a new song! whoopee! (that's sarcasm, btdubbs).
so we're starting out learning these moves which are kinda like charleston moves (but def not as cool as this lady is) so that's pretty cool.
so we're dancing dancing dancing and the choreographer girl was like "GUYS! you all look like you wanna go jump off a cliff, come ON!" i realized i hadn't smiled once. how pathetic.
so i made eye contact with my friend (who wasn't in this dance) and threw on the cheesiest smile i could muster. by the end of that run-through my whole mood was completely flipped. i was happy and smiley the rest of the night all because of my cheesy smiles!
the moral: the next time you are feeling glum and you're like "no, that's stupid. you're stupid. everyone's stupid!!" just suck it up and pretend to be happy, it might really work!!
TURN THAT FROWN UPSIDE DOWN!!
and as my YW leader says: "a smile is a girls best accessory. and it's FREE!" heehee
