The last couple days are blurry, not in a bad way and not in a good way.

Well, I'll just get it out there. It was Friday the 13th and I didn't get NHS president. I was pretty upset, because I really think I could be a great president for NHS, but I know I still have a voice whether or not I'm president. Just look at the Tsuami bracelet idea that I derived at the beginning of the year, and, with the help of Mrs. Baker, AASD was able to raise over $30,000 for Tsuami victims. Overall, it just made me question what God has in store for my future. I was beginning to think my spiritual gift was leadership, but now that may not be true. One thing I know though is that God has other wonderful plans in store for me, so a simple uncampaigned election will not bring me down! In conclusion, I'm excited to see what God has in store for me now.

Well, I'll tell a quick anecdote. After school, I was vulnerable. Feeling disheartened from the election loss, I walked quickly to my locker to get out of school as soon as possible. As I waited at my locker for David, Jake came up and hit me hard with his backpack. This is not unusual, by any means, because it was Jake, he likes to be funny. Generally, I would laugh and retaliate, but instead I started to cry. I think this was a good example of how guys don't understand girls. As I stormed away in tears with a baffled David, I think Jake felt pretty bad. It's all solved now, so that's good.

*mood change*

Last night David and I went on a date, yay! We went out to get some delicious food at Anthony's (a super great italian restaurant) and then hung out for a while and watched a movie. It was the perfect ending to a not-so-perfect day. I felt so much better, and it was great to hang out with him because we haven't had too much time to lately with school and all.

This morning I woke up around 8:30 and got ready to meet Grace at the mall. Even though that was super early for me to rise on a Saturday, it was excellent to be at the mall before peak-crowding. Grace and I were able to walk and skim at a leisurely pace; it was actually really relaxing. We found some really great deals including a beautiful dress for Grace for graduation and some great sandles. I also found my homecoming dress BUT I will not share any details of that until the day of! I know it seems early, but it was on sale and it is really cool, I love it. Plus, I got to spend the morning with my good friend Grace!

After shopping my mom and I went out for lunch. I always like spending time alone with my mom. yay.

Then, before I got really tired Jake and I headed out to our wonderful natural areas. It was a really good project in the beginning, but now I just feel burdened by it. Not to mention I stepped on a stick in my natural area and cut my foot. Haha. And Jake broke a log in his..! hahaha.

Christina just left my house. She came over to see my homecoming dress and she showed me her senior pictures! They are so nice! Now I am excited to get mine done. When she left she came running back to tell me to look at her car. For the simple 15 minutes she spent inside my house, her car had been painted and saran wrapped! hahaha. It was funny. We chased someone down the street, but I don't know who. I think he was involved. hahaha...

So, here I am. After napping for a while, I've done a lot of nothing. I am going to go walk on the thread mill I think, while I watch JFK for history OE. I hope it's a good movie, because it's 3 hours long!

Today is my spiritual birthday, and sadly, it's not as good as I would have hoped. Atleast there is next year.

Lo
