April
The lovely month of April. Ahhhhh, spring is in the air.
4-30-02
I'm back. Yay. I'm sure you all missed me dearly. The past six days have sucked, with the one highlight of Saturday night with Emily. I don't really want to talk about why it all sucked so badly, so I'll just give you the highlights. I am in the process of moving in with Susan, 30 days ahead of schedule. I am at her house, sitting at her computer writing this. Today I was thinking about how glad I am to have a cell phone and that I couldn't live without it. Because I didn't really mention to anyone that I was moving on Monday, no one knew where I was, and I kind of liked it. Well actually, Emily knew, and Jen knew, and Dina found out when she called me. I got to school this morning and they all knew, which was fine, but I didn't really want to talk about it, and have someone ask me for the hundredth time "Are you ok?" No, asshole, I'm not ok, and I'm not going to be ok anytime soon, so stop asking me!!! *deep breath* It's not so bad really. Susan and Dani are great, my friends are great, and they all love me a lot, so I should feel great, right? But anyway, like I said, today I was thinking that it's a really good thing that I have a cell phone because otherwise people wouldn't be able to get in touch with me. This afternoon my cell phone was stolen off of my desk at work while I was out of my office. Luckily, this girl had the balls to come up to me and ask me a question after she had stolen my phone. It started ringing while she was standing there and she took off. At that point I didn't even know it was missing. When I discovered that it was gone, I knew exactly who to look for. However, she was no where to be found. Victor happened to know her and her family and he offered to call them and have them check her bag. Christina came into my office and comforted me. I was so angry I could have killed that punk kid if I had gotten my hands on her. But alas, I had to go to class. So I'm walking up to my car, and who do I see walking down the street but this punk talking on MY cell phone. My first instinct was to charge her. Instead, I set down the glass bottle I was holding (weapon . . . baaaaad). I strolled over, she hadn't noticed me. I checked to make sure the phone was mine, and looked her in the eyes and told her she had my phone. She handed it over, and we walked back across the street to the Youth Center. I left her with Victor, and on my way out, Amy, who had been around this whole time, gave me this congratulatory look. It was all I could do to keep from bursting into tears on the spot. After everything that's happened in the past six days, loosing and recovering my cell phone caused me to totally fall apart in my car for the umpteenth time this week. I recovered pretty quickly and made my way to class, making phone calls to let people know that I had recovered my phone. So now I sit with the sunset in the window next to me, a black cat curled around my feet and freshly showered after my evening run. Dani is downstairs watching TV, Susan will be home at seven, and we will have dinner and talk about the day. Life is beautiful.....but wait, no that's just momentary. In a few minutes I will remember why I am here and fall apart again. Thank you lovely Emily for all the happy vibes. Apparently they are working.

Ich fuhle mich nicht woll. I am still feeling incredibly ill. I haven't eaten an actual meal in days! I have had this cough thing for the past fews days. It's like you have a tickle in your throat, but no matter how much you cough, it doesn't help. So eventually your throat just gets raw from all the useless coughing. I stopped on the way to class to get a milkshake to try and help my throat. It didn't do much, so I tried the cough drop I had. Also didn't do much. So I came home and made juice, and that finally is helping. I'm dehydrated and sick, which is a bad combo, but I'm improving slightly. I also took advil finally, which got rid of the headache I had all day without really noticing. I got a B- on the paper that I thought I failed, which made me very happy. German was stupid. Amy and Steve were the only people at work cause everyone else was doing CPR training. So I still haven't seen Susan, or been able to talk to her about moving in stuff. I have most of my graduation announcements ready to mail, but I still haven't gotten around to mailing them or getting the rest of the addresses. Then today, I got my reminder to register my car, there's another \\$70 out the window. Lately, I've been noticing that I really really need to clean out my car, the dash is incredibly dusty. I said lately, but it's been months. I just can't seem to get around to it. I actually did my chemistry homework tonight. I felt very proud of myself. Especially since right now I don't feel like doing a damn thing, I just want to leave. I wish I didn't have so many responsibilities, otherwise I would probably drive away tomorrow, I'm not even kidding. I would do it tonight. Even as I sit here I'm thinking of things that need to be done at work tomorrow. I am far too tied to this silly town right now. These last few weeks of school just seem like a show that I have to go through, an act, to get to college. Ridiculous. I realize that this in incredibly boring to you all, so I am just going to stop right here, right now.
4-22-02
It's almost 11pm, and I just stopped doing homework. Truly amazing. Generally I give up at about 9 at the very latest, if I even do anything. I read the first chapter of Siddhartha in english and then reread it in german. It made a lot more sense. I also crammed in nearly 100 pages of Famine tonight, which I was supposed to read before class tomorrow. I was proud of myself for actually doing it. I also got my Psych project kinda sorta figured out, yay!! AND I shaved my legs, go me!! All in all a rather productive evening. I don't think I failed my chem quizzes today, woo hoo!! Susan was due back today, but she was sick and they wouldn't let her on the plane in Ireland, so she left a day later. This morning she was in Chicago, she's hopefully home by now. Today at lunch I recieved a phone call which made me inexplicably sad and somber. I can't explain why, I just felt all nostalgic suddenly and especially mellow all the rest of lunch. When I got to the cafe, I realized that the environment there wasn't agreeable to my mood, but I stayed anyway, not sure why. I prefer to feel depressed around happy people, I guess. I know that's not true, I was just too lazy to find somewhere else to be, or something. I'm contemplating wearing a skirt tomorrow, with my newly shaved legs. I have to dress up on Wednesday night, as I mentioned yesterday, but I like wearing skirts for no particular reason. Grrrr, the only station I'm really getting reception from is the silly rap station. Since I don't really have anything interesting to say tonight, I think I will make this rather short and go to bed early, as I'm still not feeling well. Night all.
4-21-02
So, I got up for practice this morning, and sat at the field with Jill and Stu for half an hour. No one showed up, and we didn't have a ball or anything, so we just left. Of course I would never have gotten back to sleep, so I drove around looking at all the businesses in town and trying to decide which ones I could handle working for. There is a new giant hotel opening up, if I could be like the night clerk, that might be ok. Jill did that during college and she says she had a lot of free time, so she would study. Not that I'll have any studying to do, but the best jobs are the ones that require little work. I also thought it may be ok to work at a cleaners or a flower place (delivery girl, of course), and that was about all I came up with. Well, except for one specific place which I'm too embarassed to mention. I talked with my parents for a while tonight about all kinds of stuff, and I'm starting to feel slightly better about paying for college. I still don't know how I'll come up with spending money, but I'll find a way. I might have to take second semester off, and start again in the fall, but I will make it work. Now if I could just get through the next 40 days.... I did my graduation announcements today, I just have a few that I still need to address. Included in that pile are Susan and Jill. I housesat for Jill, and I'm living with Susan this summer, but I don't know their addresses, I'm cool. I'm really not looking forward to having my dad here, but hopefully I'll be mostly moved into Susan's by then, and he won't be able to show up at the door, or sit in waiting in the living room to force me to talk to him. Right. Our first softball game is this Friday, and I haven't been to a single practice. We have another one on Wednesday, but I can't make it because of Honor Society Induction. I get to escort freshmen across the stage, woohoo! I should wear my supershort skirt and thigh high fishnets, give the audience a show. Teehee. Perhaps not. I haven't really had an appetite today, still feeling sick. I ate a poptart and a Wendy's #6, and I've been up since 8. The good news is that I'm actually tired this evening. Perhaps I will sleep tonight, though no matter what I do, I'm guaranteed to fail my lovely Chem "quiz" in the morning.
4-20-02
Does it bother anyone else when they remix a song to make it sound techno? That drives me crazy. I'm not all that big a fan of techno in the first place, but when I'm sitting in my room listening to the radio, I don't want to listen to techno. At a club it's fine, but why play it on the radio? Forgive my irritablility. I've been sick all day. I slept for 12 hours last night, and woke up feeling worse than I had when I went to bed. How does that work? Anyway, by late afternoon I had improved considerably, so I decided to venture forth into the wide world. Actually, I just went out to return library books and pick up a few things at Target. It's been rainy and cloudy all day, and the gloom was getting to me. When I got about a block from my house, I noticed that way out on the horizon, there was a patch of sky where it was lighter, so I chose to turn right and head toward it. I drove for over an hour, on the same road, directly east. I finally made myself turn around, but I was incredibly tempted to get on the interstate leading to Nebraska. I came home and finished reading Hood, which is kind of a relief. Then I decided that I would go and visit Emily at work, which I haven't done for a while. She was hoping I would show up, which explains why I randomly decided to go. Anyway, I came home after a while and dove into Famine, which I have to be halfway through by Tuesday afternoon. This book is just as depressing as Hood, though it doesn't strike as close to home. It's about the Irish potato famine, or the Great Hunger, so obviously a lot of people are going to die. My mom started trying to talk to me about having a plan B for next year, in case I can't scrape together enough money for second semester. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of taking care of my own life at this point, and it aggravates me that she still thinks it's her duty to take care of me. She's definitely going through the whole "empty nest" thing. I graduate in 41 days, and I'm moving out at the same time, so I guess it's understandable, but still rather annoying. She's all concerned cause she doesn't think I take care of my health enough, and she's worried about me getting sick a lot next year. *sigh* She's probably right about me getting sick next year, and not taking care of myself, but I would do that with or without her around, you know? I do now, that's for sure. I'm making myself go to bed semi-early tonight, cause I do have practice in the morning at 9am. Despite the time, I am looking forward to it, cause I really like the people on my team. Anyway, off I go. Happy 4-20 all.
4-19-02
This is the earliest in the day that I have ever updated my site. The only reason I'm updating now is because I'm fairly certain I won't be able to drag myself over to my computer later. I plan on spending the rest of my day on my bed watching my tape of TV from this week. I didn't update last night because I went to be at about 4am, having just finished my term paper. I really don't think I did too great on it, but I couldn't muster up the energy to care. At about 8pm I made a pot of coffee (6 cups) and by midnight it was gone. I managed to stay up and alert for the next four hours *shock* and I got my paper done. I am currently watching Blind Date and being amused. Today, at about 4pm, I was deciding that I needed to go home early from work, and my friend from earlier this week walks in. Twice in one week....really starting to have flashbacks. This morning in english, Emily, Dina and I decided that we didn't want to go to our next classes, so we went to breakfast instead. Ditched german for the second time in a row, boo hoo. We sat at the Egg and I for a long time, and I think our waitress was getting pretty irritated with us, but whatever. It was pretty fun. I got to work and got a happy email that made me think of happy stuff from childhood. Yeah, don't really want to share cause it's incredibly dorky, but that improved my overall mood which hasn't been too great this week. My problems haven't gone away or anything, I've just perfected Emily's method of pretending that they aren't there. Great, isn't it? Anyway, ich muss faulenzen jetzt.
4-17-02
I really should stop reading Hood. The more I read of it, the more similarities to my life I find, and the more depressed it makes me. If any of you are interested in getting some insight into my life, read Hood by Emma Donoghue. I won't say which part in particular I relate to, but perhaps you will pick up on it. I almost went to school today, but then I decided that sleep was far more important. I didn't even make it to German, at 10:45. But whatever, I'm doing independent study, why should I bother going? And I did do something for class today. Two things actually. I emailed the teacher to let her know that we could use the Youth Center for our German party. Then I went to the library to get the english version of Siddhartha to read along with the german version. I found out at noon that I had softball practice this evening. I showed up half an hour late and told them I couldn't stay because I had a term paper due Friday. They gave me grief, but the few moments I was with them kinda made my day slightly better. Reminded me that I actually like being on sports teams cause being around people doesn't always have to suck. Certain people it will still always suck around though. I came home and worked for a few hours, but didn't really get much more done on my term paper. I know I'm gonna be up all night tomorrow night, but somehow I just can't make myself care. Once I get this term paper done, I just have a Psych project and my Celtic Lit final to worry about. And I think we'll have a final in Calc too. Less than thirty school days!! Work hasn't been too bad, though I was reminded today why I will not be working with middle or elementary school aged kids when I grow up. Louie spent quite a while today showing me how to break in the baseball mitt that I borrowed from him. He stuck it it the microwave for a minute, then took it out, rubbing cooking oil on it, then put it back in the microwave for another minute. He had to prove to Steve that it could be done I guess. Anyway, when I finally got around to getting online tonight, I found an email from a new friend that strangely brightened my day. But now I'm back down here. And I just realized that I haven't done any homework for tomorrow at all. Oops.
4-16-02
I'm feeling kinda blah right now. Tonight, while washing my face, I started thinking about all the shitty conference stuff. I know that I just need to move on, so I tried to distract myself by thinking about other stuff. The thing was, I couldn't come up with a single happy thing to think about instead. Now, it's not that anything in my life is particularily bad right now, or at least any worse than it's been, but suddenly I'm kinda depressed. Or at least I was. Now that I'm online talking to all my friends my mood is improving. How does that work? I've spent most of the night reading Hood while taking *breaks* from my term paper. I'm getting a lot of good ideas, but alas I have no one to test them out on. *big sigh* I have about a page and a half on my paper, so that's good progress, though it's supposed to be 8+ pages. I'm having problems concentrating right now, trying to keep up 4 conversations and update isn't easy. I've been listening to R&B and rap all night, cause I'm too lazy to get up and change the station. Today wasn't all that exciting. Jill is freaking out about this grant we're applying for, so I'm just doing what I can to support her. I like feeling useful like that. I'm really at a loss for anything else to say. So I'm going to stop talking. Look here I go. Woo. Ok, seriously.
4-15-02
I got my financial aid package today. I am totally totally screwed. I'm kind of getting sick, I had a throbbing headache all afternoon, and now my nose is totally plugged up. Plus I'm exhausted. Bleh. Today wasn't really a bad day. I was majorly late for english, but then sat in the library talking to Dina for the whole class. Then I went to german, and didn't do any work. That was nice. Plus, I showed Frau Dwire my outline for Hesse, so I'm off the hook in that class, as far as the silly stuff she has us do. Work was ok. I had a little visitor, who is a really nice person, but keeps reminding me of another person I had in my life earlier this year. And, yeah, I don't want to have a repeat of that situation. Nonetheless, I did the considerate thing and gave this person a lift home since they were stranded. I'm not sure if either of the people I'm speaking about are reading this, but if they are, you know who you are. The major difference between the two was that one was seriously fucked up, and the other, as far as I can tell, is just extremely naive. So we'll see. So #2, if you're reading this, sign the guestbook so I know and can stop talking about you in the future. *laughs* For those of you who haven't got a clue what I'm talking about, I'm sorry. I really don't want to explain myself anymore. I went to the library tonight, and got a pile of books and ran into Frau Dwire. I picked up another Emma Donoghue book, Hood, which I am anxious to begin, but know that I shouldn't until I've finished my term paper. I thought about getting the Mammoth Book of Lesbian Short Stories, but opted not to. Mainly cause they weren't things written by Emma, the book was just editted by her. I was very surprised to find that our little library in our little conservative town had a book with the word "lesbian" in the title. You learn something new everyday I guess. Anyway, I'm gonna try and get to bed a bit early tonight, so I'll wrap this up. *places peice of tape and tightens bow*
4-14-02
At ten till 9 tonight, Dina called me to check and see if I knew that our book reports were due tomorrow. Of course, I haven't been to class in over a week, I had totally forgotten about it. I was able to use books that I read for other classes, luckily, so I was ok, but it still took me 3 hours to write. Actually, I took 30 minutes off to sit and watch "Friends" cause I'm so cool. I was going to type up this thing for German, but I didn't. I did however, do the make-up work for Psych. So I'm caught up in one out of five classes. I guess technically I'm caught up in German, cause I'm doing my own thing. And there wasn't really anything to get behind in in English, besides research. So I have four days to write a 10 page paper. That's gonna kill me. I also have to put together a presentation on Emma Donoghue, but that should be extremely easy, it's half done already. Even so, I'm feeling especially stressed tonight for no particular reason. *takes a deep breath* Relax Stefi, don't let yourself start panicking, it won't help. Isn't that what you always tell me Dina? I slept until 2 today, 12 hours of sleep, which were badly needed, but still not enough. I had my alarm set for nine and considered getting up for practice, but decided that sleep was more important. It's weird talking about "practice." I haven't been on a sport's team since middle school. I'm not sure if I like it yet, it will take a while to get used to. Ummmmm, nothing particularily exciting happened to me today, I've only been up for ten hours. I actually do feel a little tired, which is good. Not that I'll go to bed any time soon, since I've just been engaged in a conversation.
4-13-02
Lately I've had trouble motivating myself to update and work on the site. I also haven't had time. For example, I started putting the new heading on each page, but got halfway through and gave up. Tonight I'm wearing pajamas like I used to wear when I was younger. An oversized t-shirt and socks and undies. Though when I was 10 I didn't wear thongs, and I didn't take it all off before getting into bed. ;) Tonight Emily and I hung out all night, which isn't something we haven't done in a while. At least it seems that way. We sort of looked at prom dresses, and walked around a lot, and then ate. Then we went to Denny's. Jeremy came in at 11, but didn't see us. He went in back and didn't come out again. It was very very sad. Plus we had Terrence as a waiter and had to pay for our coffee, he brought us our ticket right away. Grrrrrrr. Silly Jeremy, disappeared so we didn't get to feel all cute because of his compliments. We left him a note which he will hopefully get. There's always next weekend. Plus, if we go to prom, we're going to go to Denny's afterwords. Yeah, we're cool. Today, I changed my oil for the very first time. I was very proud of myself, despite the fact that I dropped the oil plug into the drip tub of oil when I was trying to put it back on. Plus I couldn't even get it off in the first place. My stepdad had to do it for me. But I'm glad that I know how, you know? I found out tonight at 8:30 that my softball team is starting practice tomorrow. At 9:45am!!! Grrrrrrr. I'll be sleep deprived, but I am anyway. I just hope they don't expect me to bring a glove or bat or anything, cause I don't have any of that, and don't really want to have to go out and buy it. I decided tonight that I need to talk my mommy into taking me bra shopping. My favorite black bra is getting a rip in it, and it's all sad. Plus, I've had it for years, which is really sad. My size hasn't changed since like 9th grade. But yeah, I want to get new bras and undies while my parents are still willing to pay for them. Tonight when Emily and I were just going into the restuarant for dinner, we ran into Jackie and Brenda coming out. It was cool, cause they were off doing their own thing, and we were doing ours, and neither of us felt obliged to call the other beforehand. A few months ago they probably would have called us, and I'm glad that isn't so any longer. We can still hang out at school and stuff, but we don't need to spend 24-7 with each other. The only person I would even consider doing that with would be Emily, and I don't think I would with her even. I would be too afraid we would end up hating one another, and that would be sad. Dina, you know we would kill each other in 3 days. :) Yes, anyway, I don't know what I'm even talking about anymore, but I'm going to stop now.
4-12-02
I'm going to take some time tonight to talk in a little more detail about Orlando. For the most part, the trip absolutely sucked. There were a lot of stupid people, a lot of stupid things happened, and I was stuck in the hotel for most of it. There were only a few people who made going worth it, whose names I can count on two hands. Demar (the cutest little boy in the world, he's 14), Patrice (the coolest adult there), Sara (the girl from Iowa whose life is scarily similar to mine), Brian (the Texan who everyone thought was gay, but I knew he wasn't), Janique (the Utah Mormon who was my roommate and got me out of bed in the morning), the rest of the Utah Mormons, and Marjorie (who did an amazing job considering the stress she was under). Most of the girls that I was hanging out with, Sara and the Mormons, had never even kissed a guy, so I was the "slut" of the group. I discovered that saying "I've kissed both" is a good way to inform people that you are bi. I don't really want to go into the negatives, because there were too many to count, and it would take forever to type. I discovered that even though I can't handle roller coasters or scary movies, I really love Haunted Houses. They are my kind of scary, perhaps just because I've put a few together I'm sort of immune to them. I got to go to Denny's, which is what got me through the rest of the conference. I can somehow still manage to work at 3am, even when almost everyone around me has fallen apart. I just do strange things like dance to no music, make weird faces, lick the insides of my mouth for no particular reason and let jerky hot black guys sit in my lap. I can't think of any other good things that happened at the conference. How sad is that? I was there for 5 days, and I have like 3 good things, and infinite bad. Just as a general warning, never work with Youth Crime Watch of America, they suck. Ummmmm, tonight I saw The Sweetest Thing with Dina. The movie was a lot of poor taste humor, but I was amused. My personal favorite scene was the one where they made the biker crash. What can I say, that sort of stuff amuses me. Dina and I were just going to go home after that, but we were having so much fun, we decided to go to Denny's for a bit. I got my coffee free, I am going to be so spoiled. I just have to say, Dina and I are incredibly cool. We were acting really stupid, like drunk people or something, but we were entirely sober. We just have that effect on one another, I guess. It's good to have someone like that in your life, I'm gonna miss Dina like crazy next year. She'll be in Ohio, so it would be like a day's drive to see her. Emily and I are making plans for tomorrow, we have to go to Denny's and hang out with Jeremy. I made a point of leaving before I knew he would be on so that I would see him with Emily and not Dina. I don't know why that is, I can't explain it. Anyway, I'm becoming tired and incoherent, so I'm gonna stop writing.
4-11-02
I spilled wax on myself just a few moments ago. I picked up a candle and tipped it towards me to see if it was still lit, and indeed it was. My arm got covered, as did a few papers. Can you tell that I haven't slept enought in a week? The first conference was really awesome. I got to meet someone who is helping to decide whether or not I get to keynote in November, so that's exciting. I made a good impression too, yay!! Then I overslept an hour but still made my plane with plenty of time. I got to the hotel in Orlando and hardly left it until Wednesday to come home. Monday night, me and two other people left and went to a really ghetto amusement park, and Denny's. The conference itself sucked and was incredibly stressful but there were a few cool people. It seems like I was there for weeks, because I slept for maybe 20 hours, total. I am so sleep deprived right now it's not even funny. In fact I'm going to cut this short so that I can get to bed. I was going to share some interesting stuff, but I won't.
4-3-02
I cry when I'm angry. Like, for example, tonight I was in an intense "discussion" with my stepdad, and during the whole hour I had tears streaming down my face. I wasn't actually sobbing or anything, just when I get extremely angry I lose control of my tear ducts or something. It's kinda annoying, cause then Craig (stepdad) thinks I'm crying for sympathy, when in reality I can't help it. Anyway, I just thought I would complain about that for a while. It was nice today, not having to be at school until 12:40. I got to run a few errands and get some stuff done with my room. Then I spent an entire two hours at school. Woo. I talked to Frau Dwire about doing a little independent Hesse study for the rest of the year, and she was ok with it, she just wants me to put together an outline and goals, so she can give me a grade. Speaking of Hesse, I finally found someone who likes him as much as I do, yay!! I talked to him for like 2 minutes on AIM tonight, but you should all go see his site, cause it's devoted to Hesse and Natalie Portman. Two very good choices. Ummmm, I leave tomorrow for my two day conference, and I found out today that they will be featuring our website during some session there. We just put together a listserv, which wasn't all that difficult, but it seems that way to them. So yeah, I'm so special. Plus, they put this whole long feature article on their website. I guess I should just feel special since they think I am, but eh. My nice argument with Craig managed to disperse most of my self-esteem and self-worth. I talked to a few people today about my job replacement. I just keep hoping to find that perfect person, who will allow their life to be taken over by the job like I have. Don't think it will happen. Anyway, I have to get up pretty early cause Jill and I have a two hour drive up into the mountains to get to the conference. Sweet dreams all.
4-2-02
Just to clarify, in case there was any confusion, I am NOT leaving tomorrow, I am leaving Thursday. I will be back Friday, and I leave Saturday morning for Orlando. I will return from Florida late Wednesday night. I know, a week is a long time to go without reading about my exciting life, but perhaps I will give Emily my password, and she can tell you all she knows. Only if you care. Otherwise I'll just have one huge update when I get back. Everything will be a little crazy for a while, trying to catch up on school work all weekend. I also may have to start looking for a prom dress. *looks in someone's general direction as if waiting for a decision* My room is supposed to be "done" by tomorrow evening, but I really don't think there's much more I can do in a day. I'm not gonna finish cleaning out all my stuff, and it's about as tidy as it gets. I'll get up a bit early in the morning to attempt to tidy it some more. I don't actually have class until 12:30 tomorrow, yay!! I think my mom is planning on dragging me out of bed at 8am, so I guess I shouldn't stay up so late. I soaked in the bath for a while tonight, that was pretty nice. I also started reading Waiting for Godot. I have the strangest feeling that I've read or seen it performed before, but I haven't a clue as to when. I don't actually have to have it finished until next Thursday, but I'm not sure how much time I'll have at the conference to study. I'm debating taking some of my other books with me. The next week I have both a presentation and a term paper due. Not to mention, I'll get seriously behind in calc. Perhaps I'll bring just the calc book for while I'm traveling. Chem and Psych will be easy enough to catch up in, but since I now have a D+ in calc, I'm trying to worry about it just a little bit. Frau Dwire and I had a fun conversation auf Deutsch this morning, and impressed Dina, who happened to be standing there. I needed her to sign my prearranged absense form, and she asked me where I was yesterday. She asked if I was sick, and I said that I was a little sick, and she asked if I had senioritis, and I said yeah. It's the truth. Anyway, this is long and uninteresting, I go now.

School sucks. Not that I have any right to complain, I didn't even spend two hours at school today. But still, it sucks. I went a bit early to get my prearranged absense form for the conferences, got signatures from all teachers except Frau Dwire. I wasn't planning on attending her class today, so I thought better of seeing her. Instead, Emily and I went for breakfast, yay! Then we went to the mall and I found a new pair of sunglasses. Work wasn't too bad, but it was such a nice day!! I was wearing my short jean skirt, the pink sparkly fishnets, my tall boots, and a backless shirt. I felt very summery. Everyone at work had comments about my outfit. I'm sure I flashed dozens of people getting in and out of my car, but I don't really care. I dozed off reading Yeats tonight for Celtic Lit. I'll finish it tomorrow at some point. Yeah. I'm gonna make this short because I want to get to bed somewhat early to make up for my loss of sleep last night.
