I <3 my friends

On the whole, this has been an amazing week, despite my little emotional/mental breakdown due to stress and schoolwork. But then I got to miss some classes the next day, so its all good, even if they were only band and study hall. So what actually made this week good?- National Merit Scholarship qualification- Earrings- Colorado Trip- Fun Litchfield people at track meets- Track meets in general- Seeing a guy who is wearing girl's pants with a shotput down the front of them (ok, so that was just sort of weird.... funny, but weird)- Earth Fair and missing classes- Getting a parking spot- Leaving school early and going shopping- PROM- Ice cream parties at my house after prom- My lovely best friend, Jenny, who just rules- Finding out that Joe is finally going out with Jackie (yes, i am very happy for them, and no, that is not strange... it's about freaking time!!)- Dancing- My lovely hairstylist, Emily (you really did an awesome job dear)I'm sure I'm missing something in the list, but for now, i think its good... oh yes... i remember- THE FREAKING AWESOME PEOPLE I HANG OUT WITH!!!You guys all rule, and are the only thing helping me make it through these two weeks... prom, AP US reviews, everything... it wouldn't be as fun/crazy/loud without you all. Prom was sooo much fun, and we definitely have the photos to prove it (i think my smiler broke). But I don't think I'd change a thing... it was just a completely amazing night. Can't wait til next year!!

Happy...

So I'm in a good mood.... not only did i finally get my ears pierced again yesterday (2nd holes in the lobes and a cartilage ring), but i picked up my amazing red prom dress on saturday and got to feel really really pretty. yay!! then my matthew, eric, lauren and chris came to visit, so they got to see it too. how exciting. then today, i found out i made it into the national merit scholarship program, which is really great. now hopefully i will also be able to make it to the semifinals and finals, so i can actually get some cash for it. even if i don't though, it will hopefully help me get into better colleges. *fingers crossed* of course it would help if i knew what i wanted to study/ do with my life, but hey, no one has everything, right?Today was also very cool because Kelly Considine and i got to go to our first meeting for our Outward Bound trip to Colorado this summer. I'm really excited now... it looks like the trip will be amazing. And there are some cool looking people too, even if i did spot a boy with emo glasses. i wish it were summer, if only because these next two weeks will be HELL.to begin with, i have something to do every day this week, from track meets to babysitting to model Security Council to United Way Youth Board. Then prom is on friday, so i have to pick up the pretty blue dress i'm wearing for that on wednesday and hopefully get a chance to drop off my application at friendly's too. Then next week, i have AP english test monday, AP calc tuesday, AP US history and big band bash friday, SATs and big band bash saturday, and physics AP monday. and yes, the only point of that list was for me to freak out about how much i have to do still. i need to study soo bad and have absolutely no time. blech.oh well, back to work. how fun.
