thorce!

has it really been this long since I last updated? Oh dear.

Well I'm finally done with IB tests, thank the lord. All the spanish and german and latin kids still have tests to take. Gracias a dios que tomé el examen en el año ... erm... previoso? Oh god. I've lost it already.

"Último año"? "Año último"?

So I like my beaker. It's awesome. However, I find it kind of funny that I got the "high" honor but Ivey got "higher" and Christine got "highest". I'm cool, they have way better GPAs than me, they deserve the higher/est. ^.^

What is up with prom? Oh, well, I'm happy as long as I fit in my dress. I was looking at it the other day and found to my horror that it's two sizes below what I normally wear. Eh. *shrugs*

I need to check people's blogs! But, now, time for bed. Wouldn't have even got on if I hadn't remembered that I'd left my moisturizer downstairs. Eh, don't ask. Bah, my forehead looks somewhat better, hopefully by Saturday it'll be fully recovered.

Josh better bring me Chipotle... or I'm telling!

d'oh!

so imma try out a new email address. This gmail thing is kind of interesting.

Bwah!

I am thoroughly sick of math. And I really, really, really, need to study for history. I don't think I've learned anything from history this year. Then again, I'm not sure I learned anything last year either.

Prom may be quite fun. I'm looking forward to it. Odd. I was kind of stressed out earlier, but then I was thinking about it today and realized that I don't really care; I'll have fun no matter who I go with. As long as I'm not left alone on the dance floor, or something.

I want to do Elitch's physics night this year! Come on, who else wants to go? You know you all do.

I need a ride to Marie Callendar's this Saturday and next. Hmph. I'll have to hit someone up. Hopefully there's at least one person who likes me enough to lug me around that's going. But I wanted rides to both, because I'm taking both AP and IB! Why am I such a fool?

Where has Sarah gone? She hasn't been at clubs lately. Then again, AP tests are coming up. I'ma hang out with Fox after school the next few days. Maybe I can actually get a decent grade on the physics test. God knows I'm not going to excel at math or history.

Oh, jeez, I seriously need to call Nikki. Gah!

bleeding heart

As Greg pointed out to me today, for someone who considers herself more conservative than liberal, I sure do have a "bleeding heart." Ha ha. This was provoked by my spewing off of some measles trivia Eric had told me (Did you know that 800 000 children around the world die every year from measles? And that it's a incredibly easy disease to prevent? It takes less than a dollar to give a child a measle vaccination!), so I can see his point. Still, I don't really think I'm all that liberal. I'm fairly sure that I'm not really liberal or conservative, I'm just a moderate libertarian. Go libertarianism!

At any rate, my political leanings tend to be influenced by the people around me. Gindele was definitely liberal... during freshman year I was more liberal. Johnson, not so much, Chaffin, not so much. So in sophomore year, I was more conservative. In junior year I wasn't really one way or the other but I was probably slightly conservative. Now I hang out with the art kids and the amnesty kids and the red cross kids so I'm slightly more liberal again. Add that to the fact that I hate Bush, and there you go.

As Winston Churchill might have said (erm, according to my mom's horrible misquotation, anyways):

"If you're young and not a liberal, you have no heart. If you're old and not conservative, you've got no brain."

*evil cackle*

He's now officially number one on my ladder. Sorry, Eric.
