An optimist is a guy that has never had much experience. -Don Marquis

Fake it 'til you make it. 
Pretty much my life story right now. I have to just go through the motions of high school until college, where I know it will get better. I am so glad I have something to motivate myself...
Seriously, I freaking HATE PMS with a passion. I hate being all emotional and stuff. It's buggy.

Anyways, I had just THE BEST day today! *note sarcastic tone* I got to go to the dentist for my braces, but the guy, who was just changing out a freaking POWER CHAIN, 1) took forever 2) didn't have the right tools 3) is really careless and rough, and 4) doesn't do this very often. So a had him GRIPPING at my face try to get the rubber bands on, and digging into my gums, to the point where they had to start dabbing the blood away. 
SERIOUSLY?! Just have your effing assistant do it, she is 10x better! Meanwhile I'm trying not to cry as they stab me with pointy things! So, of course that was a fun time... So, the entire time I was looking forward to a tiny peice of amazing brownie to eat when I got home to get rid of the taste of blood and find that my freaking pig brother ate HALF THE PAN! Meaning, there was none left. At all. So, I crawled into bed and bawled for a while 'cause my gums were still bleeding and my mouth hurt and I was being emotional and feeling crappy, and then had to try to pull it together to go to school. So I slappedd some makeup on and put my hair up so I would at least look average, and had to go through the motions of class, and I got to stress about the inspection for JROTC tomorrow by spending 2 hours in the supply room cleaning. After that, I went over for a National Honor Society meeting and got to stress over memorizing something, adn then got to go to a meeting for JROTC and got to sttress about a presentation I'm supposed to do tomomorrow. Fun! So I take the bus home and am taking my usual shortcut, except everything is melting so I sink in up to my thigh! Which wouldn't have been to bad except I was wearing Chuck's and jeans, so my jeans got wet and my kicks got full of snow and almost got stuck in the snow a couple times. 
God I have this town. 
But yeah. That's it for whining today! 
On the bright side, well... Um. 
I guess one thing to look forward to is going to Fairbanks and the lower 48 in a few weeks. 
Yay. 
I'm so tired of acting happy all the freaking time. 
Toodles.

Failure is success if we learn from it. -Malcolm Forbes

Okay so here you go future self: my day, yesterday, February 27th.
So I got up at 6:50-7:00-ish and got all my crap together and finally convinced my mom to take me to the school instead of making me talk the bus... Weeeeeell, the night before it had been blowing snow and such, so we had hard crusted snowdrifts, which I didn't think would be too bad... Man was I ever wrong! Mom drove the car about halfway through it and got us stuck... We tried for about 10 minutes to dig it out and such, but I was already late, so we walked over and used her work car.
I thankfully arrived with a few minutes to spare. The first round we did pretty well, but I was SO tense the entire time! We only missed two questions out of 64. We got a lunch break and such after about 2 hours of battling and found out we made it to round 2. It was pretty awesome because I know two other people battling for other teams that we were with.  Round two went awesome too, and we got the same score as the first round, putting us in 3rd place. After that second round, we were all pretty frazzled after answering 128 questions, but we made it to the 3rd and final round. The third round was BRUTAL. We missed 5 out 16 questions. We were all fried, but we got 4th place! Which is pretty much the best my town has ever done.
RIGHT after I got home, I headed over for a four and a half hour period of babysitting a four year old and a one year old.
I was tired, and my legs hurt from being so tense and my knees were swollen. But it was a good day!
Off to rotate laundry and start packing for my 12 day trip! :D

P.S... 2 more days!

You can't win unless you learn how to lose. -Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

               It's days like        today that
     make me love skiing!  It was 30 degrees
 again with a little wind, but it wasn't to my front
so... It was magical! (BTW, I have started saying
 magical  instead of  awesome.) I  was  having  a
   not-so-great   morning,  and  it  was  just  the
     thing to get my mood up! I will try to post
        something tomorrow, but I am leaving
         Wednesday   night   until   Monday
             morning, and will not have a
                 computer. I'll for sure
                    have a nice long
                        one then!
                             .

Anyways, back to skiing. As I was saying, it was SO WARM and we did a 5 mile loop, which made me feel SO in shape, and after that we bombed around on hills! Talk about a great practice.


magical magical magical.
