Out of the mouth of a fish

Today, i read the book of Jonah. I'm not much of the bible reading sort but the book interested me in its dealings with mercy and the value of life. Sometimes, we can be to quick to make judgment on others. Furthermore, i found it interesting that god "repented" for his quick judgment against Nineveh. Meaning, that god himself makes mistakes. although some would argue that a perfect god new that in order to instruct a lesson he must demonstrate superior mercy through repentance of his perfect ways. Who knows?

Suessical the Musical!

I auditioned for a role in my school's Suessical the Musical. I hope it goes well. My audition, as usual, was racked with nerves.

The Day Before the "Welcome Home!"

Today, my mother, brother and I head down to Norfolk. We are spending the night in a hotel so we can welcome my father back from his naval deployment (he went to Africa) tomorrow.

One thing after another

I love Friday. I need some relaxation. Yoga, hot tea and a good book for me, please!

Zach Braff...in a movie?

Today, Carlos and I witnessed the comical JD and adorable Cottonelle dog (Zach Braff) in his movie The Last Kiss. The movie followed a 29-year-old man Michael who cheats on his pregnant girlfriend and desperately tries to win her back. Zach Braff's performance met expectations. Personally, I am very opposed to cheating and watching movies where someone cheats on their signaficant other really makes me both very angry and very sad.


Yet, the movie did lead to an interesting conversation with my boyfriend on whether or not cheating was forgivable. The conclusion is still pending.

So Long a Day like Today

I woke up before the sun at 6am today. At school, i did wonderful things like watch Obama's national address to students. After school, i went to my friend's to work on a AP Statistics project. Quite fun, a comedic video on bias. (We'll see how the fellow students react tomorrow). Then, I went to work. Long long day.

Nothing More Painful than Boredom

I spent my entire day doing the little homework my teachers assigned over labor day weekend and watching cheesy soaps. Who knew The Secret Life of the American Teenager could be so mesmerizing?

Oh well, I wish I could have worked today. I am basically waiting for Carlos to get off work so, I can go out and have some fun. Kinda pathetic.

My cat Sugar is asleep on the chair beside me. I think she's dreaming. So adorable!

Into the Woods

Today, Carlos and I attended a party of one of our closest friends. Unfortunately for my skirt-and-cute-shoes-outfitted-self we played flashlight tag at night in the wet grass. Who knew that such a tom boy could turn into such a city girl?

Lesson Learned: Sometimes, your roots make an unexpected appearance.

So far...

Today, my life did not feel like my own. So strange.

TGIF and Thank God for NAPS!

today, I swallowed up my Friday night with much needed rest and relaxation. Sleep is God's greatest inanimate gift. I worked a ton on my college essay during my down time at school today but, it still needs work. I'm off to gather up some more hours of slumber before heading off to work at 6:30am tomorrow.

Stand up and be counted

I'm watching this stand-up comedian Kyle Cease on comedy central. HILARIOUS. Check him out on youtube.

In the land of significant others

Today, my boyfriend Carlos and I celebrated our two year anniversary. TWO YEARS. Can you believe it? I can't. One of the amazing things about time is it gives you special dates and excuses to show your appreciation for those you love to the utmost fullest.

I can confidently say I have never been more happy in my life.

Tomorrow proves to be a great day as well (with a field trip in store for us nerdy CGSers) provided I get a good nights sleep.

Sleep soundly everyone!
