Well, I just got home from work. I love working for Leah's dad.. he says I'm one of his four favourite teenagers :P He's a really good boss though too.
Cyndy isn't in Minnesota! Happy, happy, happy!
So yeah today was pretty fun. I wasn't sure what to get Kelton for Christmas.. so I got one of those ginormous chocolate kisses and wrapped it up in a huge purple ribbon and made him a card with little snowflakes hanging off of it. He loved it :D He said that I'm his favourite person. I think I love that kid.

Finals are finally over..! I did really well. Now I have over 100% in every single class except for health. I have 97% in there.
Life is crazy, as always. Never seem to have enough time for anything anymore. Maybe I'll finally get to slow down a bit over the break. Yeah right. I've got to work.. as much as possible.. I still feel bad for missing so many days and he has a lot I need to get done.
We still haven't got our tree. I have a little adorable one that Leah gave me. It looks like its going to be the tree this year. Ah, oh well.
Well, I better be going..

Grrr... I hate this.. I'm freaking depressed and angry and can't get over the urge to break down and bawl. I don't want to write this history paper and I don't want to go to school tomorrow and I don't want to take finals and I don't want to do any of this. I just want to sleep. I want to sleep and then on Tuesday I want to go back to school and talk to Leah and make everything better. I want to go to their family home evening tomorrow night. I want everything to be better. And yet, I don't konw what I want. All that I can be sure of is I want to sit in the dark with a cup of tea and a friend to talk to. And all I can have is a stupid history assignment and a headache.

   absolutely unfair.
I'm still not feeling well. I still went to school yesterday, but my cough is horrible, and half the time I can't breathe, and now I've lost my voice. Oh well. I feel really bad because now I've missed three days of work. He'll understand.. but I still feel horrible.

I'm so sick. I went to the doctor today.. they say that my asthma is totally out of control. I have to go to Vegas as soon as possible they say to see some lung doctor. They said it's crucial. I had a 101.3 temperature, 148 heart rate: but 94 blood oxygen, which is really good conidering. I thought they were going to put me in the hospital.. because I've had pneumonia numerous times before. The lady was so onery though that she just wrote me out 4 prescriptions and told me to see that guy soon. I was so scared. I am scared. My best friend's dad called me up and asked if I wanted a blessing, so he called some elders from my ward and they came over. My fever was gone almost immediately, though everything else still hurts. I'm not going to school tomorrow or anything.. they say I've gotta rest. So I guess I get to go lay down and cough, choke, and puke up medication some more.

My crazy day...
okay. First of all, we leave a little late for school. We're cruising down the freeway.. and what is up ahead but a swimming pool. A huge one on the back of a flatbed. So huge that it took up both lanes. And you know how fast it was going? Thirty-five miles an hour. So here we are.. crawling to school.. somehow, and I have no idea in the world how.. we weren't late. Don't ask me how that happened.
Okay. I get into biology, first period. The chapter is the one on genetic engineering. We spend mostly all the class period in discussion. Such as, sure, making stronger, more durable plants that can withstand diseases and weather is good. Curing diseases is great. But where do you draw the line between curing diseases and making a designer baby, one that won't have certain diseases, one that is better, more healthy than the rest of us. Or even just curing that disease. But then, where do you draw the line? if you create somehting new, a new, better being.. but though being new and better, it is succeptable to tons of diseases and problems that are different from the rest of us. Ones that may start new problems. Just like how AIDS came aboubt.. just cuz some idiotic moronic guy did it with a monkey over in Africa. The same, what plague, diseases, etc could we accidentlly get from these new, better humans? What could happen? Where do you draw the line between helping and hurting? So we're there expounding on that, my head spinning, my mind whirling. I love that feeling.. but the only problem was.. it didn't quit.
I get to Seminary. Section 76. The most important and greatest revalation given to us in these latter days practically. There we are. Discussing. Talking. We're all asking questions. We're there, talking about the eternities. Worlds inside worlds. Other worlds. If god is the god over us.. is he the savior or a being from his world? Obviously its all the same. all the way back. Never beginning, never ending. Expounding, expounding, expounding. My head is spinning spinning spinning.
I get to Math.. and what are we learning about in algebra II.. imaginary number system. I'm sitting there.. now the little "i" stands for what? the square root of negative one? and the little "i" squared equals what because of..???? OH MY GOSH!!! My head was spinning so badly... I usually love that feeling.. that my mind is spinning and I'm learning and thinking so broadly and oh my gosh tooo muuucchhh kkknnnooowwwllleeeddggeee!!! AHHHHHH!
Then. History. All of us are there with our final drafts ready. He says in his stupid 'I thought you were smarter than that way' - "I told you guys, just the rough draft was due today, the final isn't due until friday." I was so mad. HE TOLD US THEY WERE DUE TODAY AND I SPENT ALL LAST NIGHT WORKING ON THE DANG THING WHEN I COULD HAVE BEEN PRACTICING! Then he says, well we're gonna just peer edit today. So we did. Everyone read my paper. NO one could find anything wrong with it. Mr. Wilson sees me putting it away, comes over and says,
"did you peer edit?"
"yes"
"There's no marks on it."
"Nope, sure isn't."
"Let me see it," he says.
I say sure, that I wanted to make it better anyhow. So he sits and basically makes a mark over every word written telling me a "better" way to write it. GRRRRRR.
Then, health. We're reading the 'STD' chapter. The bellwork on the board says, "Why might it be difficult to discuss STD's?"
Why do you think? That's an oxymoron ENTIRELY! That's not something you question! So yeah. Now we have either a flyer, brochure, or poster due tomorrow about preventing STD's. Oh my freaking gosh!
Then English. It was okay, pretty boring, as usual. Monica and I laughing and joking to get us through the boredom. Then I look down. I swear it came at the worse time ever. All over the front of me. I was so embarrassed. only Monica saw. The second class ended I ran to the bathroom. Monica understood and gave me a pad but it was a little late I felt like such an idiot. I tied my sweater across the front of my waist and hurried to orchestra, but I was already late. Orchestra finally gets over, and experiencing the worst cramps ever, I finally get home. At that point I break out bawling and I spend an hour talking to my mom. Thats the longest talk I've ever had with her. Oh my gosh.. what a day.

Somewhere over the rainbow.. there's a little gnome that will write my paper for me
She winced as if in pain as she thought of the research paper. Entirely unenthused about having to write it, and even less so about having not even started the research. Progressivism. Who cares about that..? 'Give me something actually interesting..' she thought, 'and I'll gladly write you a novel..'
More important to her than her stupid history grade, she knew she should be practicing. She had four performances coming up this next week, and there were a few songs that needed some work. Besides that, she had lessons to practice for on Monday. Needed to make sure she had her technique mastered.
All she really wanted to do was to curl up in a warm blanket in front of a plug-in heater watching I love Lucy and drinking peppermint tea.
