Memorial Day

Today has over all been pretty good. Oh well actually its been great. I slept in until 9, and I only got up then because my mom came into my room and told me that Dan was on his way over. I got up and got dressed and then Dan came over. He mowed half our back lawn for me and then he cooked bacon wrapped steaks for me, mom, and his granddaughter Sammy. Me and Sammy made rice crispy treats and that was fun.

I also got a new computer today and Halston set it all up for me and all I have to do is move it into my room and get wireless card. Thanks Halston. Not that he reads this.

Then Mom let me go pick up my very best friend Jessica from her house and we came back to my house and worked on my Howl's Moving Castle puzzle and talked girl stuff. Boys ex boyfriends how boys are stupid and that kind of stuff. Then mom drove us to Winco to get chocolate with chocolate and chocolate ice cream. She didn't even care that me and her sat in the back and talked and talked and talked. She even had some input on things. Then we went home and had ice cream and I took her home. We are planning to have and awesome sleepover on Thursday night!!! Last day of school!!!

I also found out today that the people who own my horse are going to sell him, which I am totally okay with. In the time we have had him he has thrown almost everyone who has rode him and has put three people in the hospital including myself. I am terrified of him. I'm okay with selling him. He was not right for me and I need a stable horse that will work for me.

I'm babbling

School. So yeah. Its pretty much over. I have rehearsal for the performance during graduation on Tuesday and then I perform in grad on Wednesday. Other than that its over. Despite what many people think I'm really not that sad about it being over. Sure I should be going to Maeser next year and probably will be, I'm not that sad. Sure I am going to miss my friends but, I know where they are, and will be. I will also finally be like every other teenager in the world and have moved for once.

For those of you who are wondering why I chose to go to this school and why I am moving here it goes.

1. This school is a liberal arts school. They strongly focus on getting kids into universities and on English and History. I plan on being either an English or history teacher.
2. I need to be closer to my horse.
3. This school is a small school environment. Only 15 kids in a class. I learn better in small groups than big ones.
4. For those of you who are LDS and understand this, I prayed about it before I made my choice. I have been told that Lehi is where I need to be. I have work that needs to be done there.
   
5. Both me and my mom hate the house we are in, and need less yard to take care of.
6. I have recently been having some problems with some teachers at my school.

I am totally stoked for girls camp this year. I am a YCL and am so excited. There is going to be a lot of fun stuff going on this year and I can't wait. I also get to stay with my cousins in Manti for two weeks and help with the Manti Pageant. I'm excited for that too!

May 20th, 2010. I really hate it

So today I had a orchestra concert and so I didn't go ride my horse like I normally do on Thursdays. Very shortly after I get this text from the girl who I ride with that said "priorities." I texted her back and told her it wasn't my fault that I had an orchestra concert and that I didn't control the days they were held, and if she was going to continue to chastize me for putting SCHOOL before riding, I would quite riding. She then said "gosh take a JOKE!" I promptly told her it was not funny. She then argued it was to funny. That is not something funny its hypocritical because I know for a fact that she skips riding to go to her own orchestra concerts. Do people agree with me or her? Did she have any right what so ever to do it? Especially when she knew I wasn't going to be there?

I hate when people do that.

Other than that today was fairly okay. Other than the THIRD migraine this week. My mom finally took me to fill my prescription, and so now if it happens again I can do something about it. In History I make 40 paper wishing stars while we were watch Pride and Prejudice. (Not wanting to watch that.) Physics we watched Mythbusters and I made another 20 stars. Gym I play monopoly and Egyptian rat screw. Math I did my assignment and then played speed solitaire with Kayla.

The concert went just fine and I almost have my life back! Only a week and some left of school!!
Other than my final project for computer tech and my final for band to make up my concert I missed that's really all I have left. My final is an eight page paper on the song We Didn't Start the Fire By Billy Joel and the history behind it.

Sleep is calling

May 18th, 2010 Migraines

Ewww.... today totally sucked and so did yesterday. We don't know why I got them but I did. Migraines. I think it was my body telling me to calm down and sleep for once. Between two band concerts this week and CRT testing and the AP test my system just needed a rest for once. Mom came and picked me up from school yesterday after band class (which didn't help the whole migraine thing.) and then I went home and literally crashed out on the couch for like five hours almost straight. Mom had to go back to work, at like 1 but I barely even remember her leaving I was so out of it. When she came home after her shift was over we went to the library for me to return books and movies and for me to get new ones. (Which after a whole day of staying home, I've already watched and read all the way through.) Then she bribed me (with good Mexican food) to go to Savers with her. Which I had done not two days earlier with my brother Alex. (By the way, that was awesome, and so were those Slurpees)

Anyways, I woke up this morning and my head was still pounding from yesterday, so I didn't go to school. I got up long enough to tell mom I wasn't going to school, to tell my ride I wasn't going to school, and drug myself. Then went back to sleep until almost noon. I watched a lot of TV and read a whole 200 page book and I think I had another nap. Mom also called my band director and told him I was sick and wasn't going to be able to play in the concert tonight. That was nice. One less stressor on my shoulders.(All though I still have one on Thursday.) And now he is going to make me make it up. I'm sure its going to be some lame essay or playing in front of him, just to torture me.

For those who don't really know me that well when I get migraines, they hit suddenly with full force. I can't see, they hurt, I'm dizzy, usually can't feel half my body because it has gone numb, and my body just shuts down. The second my head hits a pillow once I get one, I am asleep for at least three hours. And usually once I've slept for a few hours its gone. I've been getting them since I was in the first grade. Not only that but I cluster. That means I get like three in one week. Usually they are consecutive, so let's hope I don't have another one tomorrow.!
