Bonne Anniversaire à moi (happy birthday to me!)
Yesterday my family got a nice surprise visit from an aunt and uncle of mine and their 2-year-old son, my cousin. It seemed as if they just appeared out of the blue! I was halfway asleep in my room when I heard the familiar sound of my mom coming in from work plus the also familiar, but very unexpected voice of my uncle. I thought I was dreaming to be hearing his voice but I got out of bed anyhow, dream or no to greet him and my aunt. Even though I could hardly believe they were there, I somehow knew they really were. And I was thinking to myself, “I don’t care how or why . . . I’m just so happy to see the three of you, especially li’l man, here.”
They said since they were staying close by in San Antonio they thought they’d stop by real quick before they headed back to Georgia.

Yes, I was happy to see my aunt and uncle, but I was even more overjoyed to see my cousin of almost 2 years. I helped look after him over the summer when I visited the same aunt and uncle that were now visiting us. He really is such a precious little cutie. I could have cried tears of joy because I at first thought that I wouldn’t see him again for another year or so after this past summer and there he was in front of me again. I really hope we can join the rest of our family for Thanksgiving this year, since the only time we’ve ever gone was two years ago. And it was so much fun.

I want to tell about the circus I went to, but it’s late so I’ll do so later so in the morning I can wake up and enjoy the day!

Today is also Veterans Day and the birthday of an author and somewhat contemporary artist by the name of Kurt Vonnegut. I love his short story by the name of “Harrison Bergeron”. It’s really interesting in its own way and I hope you might find some time to read it since it isn’t too long and if you wind up liking it, you have me to thank! And if you do read it, I would like to hear what you think of it.

lunar eclipse?
Today started out fine and then I was feeling sick so off to the nurses office I went. That place is never boring. Different students come in and out with all their differing illnesses. I like hearing about why each student is there and seeing how they will fare. I don’t try to be nosy, I just simply sort of listen in on what’s being said between the nurse and the other student. Call me weird if you want, but I just find it interesting.
Today was a good day to be sick because my dad was home so it didn’t take him long at all to come get me. This was also his birthday!


I’m glad I at least went to my first three class periods so it’s not as if I missed the whole day. I don’t think there was much work to do in the other three so there won’t be much to make up. I really, very much hate missing school because of make up work and missed new material. It really bugs me, but I know, I know, one can’t help it sometimes.

The lunar eclipse happening tonight is turning out to be a nice one, but I still like the one from a year and a half ago. That was my first time seeing a lunar eclipse and it was marvelous! The skies were clear and the moon shown so brightly before the phases had began.

I can’t wait until this week is over so I can begin concentrating on the next 6wks grading period and stop worrying about this one!

I hope this week is going great and in general being less worrisome for you then it is for me.

Thoughts and dreams
This dream I had last night gave me a really creepy feeling. It was actually right before I woke up because it was fresh in my mind while I was eating my bowl of Sugar Smacks which are now called Honey Smacks and taste more than a tad bit different. Although it says on the box, “Same Great Taste!”

As I was saying, this dream kind of creep me out. I remember doing three things: being in front of a computer and cutting it on, being at my grandma’s house, and being in a department store/mall. At first I’d be at my grandma’s just walking around, talking to my cousins, having fun and then I’d suddenly be walking up to a computer, turn it on, and press some buttons on the monitor to make it do something. I switched between these two things however many times. Then, I was in a department store/mall as a clerk. I was working and something occurred that made me start to cough and choke so I wanted to go outside to get some fresh air. As I was running to go outside, some other sales people kept trying to stop me from reaching the exit and going out. They did this by having some weird giraffe looking creature block my path. I kept trying to go around it and it kept moving in my way. When I finally got passed it I ran out of the double exit doors. I immediately breathed the air outside, but I just as quick as I had come through the doors, I went back inside. What I saw frightened me. Could you guess what?
Well, when I’d ran out of the store, I realized right then what I was looking at, but I didn’t stop because I wanted to breathe the fresh air. What I saw was absolutely NOTHING! In front of me was nothing but white, to my left was white, and to my right was white. Nothing was outside at all.

I don’t think dreams mean anything significant or tell the future and those people you see on TV and hopefully not in real life, to me are nothing, but a bunch of money grabbing phonies. But this dream of mine makes me wonder.

Feel free to tell me your opinion on whether it is weird or not.

You might notice that I haven’t put up very much info where it possibly should be. None of it is too relevant right now, but I might add some stuff later if I feel like it.

Déjà vu
Sometimes I feel as if I’m experiencing déjà vu, but it doesn’t make sense because it appears that I’m in a place or doing something for the first time. Sometimes I strongly feel it and others it’s just a slight feeling that never lingers. I was talking to my art teacher about this and she said that it probably had to do with past experiences as a child I had forgotten that were suddenly remembered. This I think could be it, but then for some cases I don’t know.
