"You look ridonkulous in that outfit" ~iharthdarth

Well, it's been a while since I've posted...
I'm in exam mode right now. What does that entail? Well, it entails a lot of avoiding studying, craving and reading books that have nothing to do with exams (*cough Jedi Apprentice cough* [lol Kiki]), procrastinating, and then stressing RIGHT before the exam. The stressing part is due to my friends who freak me out, since I see them right before the exams when I go to school to take it.
You see, up here in Canadia, we crazy Canucks don't go to school during exam time. My last week was last week. We get and exam schedule, and go to school only for our exams. Exams are either at 9:00 or 12:30. During second semester exams, all exams are in the gym, except for people with extended time. It's set up so that people taking the same exam aren't in ajacent (sp?) rows, and there are a dozen rows. It's quite intimidating, with 30 seat per row. You walk into the gym and it's like waves of stress washing over you.
In other news, I've gone iharthdarth crazy. In fact, cruising www.livejournal.com/users/iharthdarth has been one of my fave ways to avoid exam prep. Also, getting icons and wallpaper from iharthdarth communities (so I joined a couple... I'm not THAT obssessed) . All I have to say is that iharthdarth ROXORS! (iharthdarth joke :P)
Also, as we speak, I should be studying for my last exam tomorrow morning, french. but am I? obviously not. I'll go do that now...

COMSTOCK COUNTDOWN: 19 days!!!

This is my adorable kitty, Rosie. In this pic, she's rolling around on the desk, trying to get me to a) pat her, or b) feed her. I've done neither, I took this pic instead :P.

Now do I get kick it?? ~Julia

Sorry, guys, depression does not lead to more creativity. I've been trying to write some more of my story, but it all sucks.
My day started out bad (it was raining) and quickly disintegrated (at 8:15 ish). Hasn't really gotten better since.
Everyone is all "just bounce back. That's the best thing to do." But here's a newsflash guys: right, now it hurts too much. I also don't want to let him think that I'm not affected by this. Because I really am.
Moral of this story: Never fall for anyone. It will just end badly.
I'll go be a nun. I'll have all my nun-friends and have a wonderful time without any love getting in the way.
Looking back on what I wrote yesterday, I find it funny how quickly things can change. And how wrong you can be. Really, I don't think it has fully set in yet. In my heart, I still think things will go back to normal after this really sucky period. For some reason, I'm just not getting just how long "never" is. Which sucks. I'm really trying to avoid letting this sink in, because it will bethat much worse, and a break down on the mall was pretty bad.

It's baaaaack

So my original template is back. Why? It felt right. Also, It's only 21 days until my blog's first birthday (June 29). Yay! Although, I won't do any special post, as those are only fun with otehr people, and there is only one blogger on this blog (me). If anyone has any blog part-ay ideas, let me know!

I also might point out that blogger automatically gives you a links section now, and gives you the html to set it up the way you want, not like before, when I had to get Jonah to help me mess around with html. (thank you Jonah!)

Anyway, all Lisgarites, please go to The Eye of the Haylstorm so you can bug Hayl about her bf, instead of (thank you for the nickname, Alex) "Gevie". We are two separate people, in case you guys have forgotten. The "Bennifer"-esque nickname is not required. Also Mr Arrigo can lay off the comments any day now. Any day...

So. Summatives are OVER. DONE! Not a moment too soon. Next up: Exams. I'm not at all worried. Well' I'm worried I'll do bad because I'm so unfocused this semester, but I'm not worried about the exams themselves. I want them OVER WITH. Because after exams, it's summer, and a few days into my summer, I am going on my road trip, and a few days inot my road trip, I will be back in beautiful Indiana, the place I have been waiting to see ALL YEAR. It's so close, I can feel it. And it's driving me insane. I feel like a donkey hitched to a cart with a carrot dangling in front of me. I keep reaching out for it, but it's not getting any closer. *grumbles*

You guys are SO LUCKY. We still have school (obviously) with NO AIR CONDITIONING. None. We are a heritage building, so along with having no elevators (meaning we can't have disabled students, which is silly) we haveno air conditioning. It's disgusting. I stick to my seat in every class. I have two classes in this one disgusting classroom, and in my second class there, the thermostat said 29 degrees celcius. ewie.

I'm going to try to write more story soon, to cheer up Jonah, but no promises with so much Tale of Two Cities to read (stupid Chango Mango).

Kirsten: "How come I get all the dirty scenes?!"

O.M.G.

Woke up this morning at 7. Yes on a saturday. went to my riding lesson. Went to Dovercourt and bummed around with Annie for an hour and a bit while my mom Pilates-ed. Then went to Kirsten's house to film our summative. ALL DAY. It was insane. Kirsten and Jake kept laughing and we had to do fifty million takes of each scene. Urgh. I had to do A LOT of fast script writing. Luckily my group had complete trust in my script-writing abilities, and it was fine.

We wanted to do a bloopers reel, but we ran out of time. We were still filming when my dad came to pick me up at 7, to take me and Kirsten to church. So we were at church, listening to a talk from Lindsay's dad about "How to we know if our prayers are answered?" . It's quesitons month, so they have these things on saturday nights too, which is good since I'm bogged down with Horse shows all season (PS: Lindsay's dad (Rick Reed, I think) wrote a book called "That's a good Question" I looked at it and ti looks really good, so you guys should read it -- well the ones that do believe in God. For the atheists out there, I don't think it'll do muich for you :P)

Speaking of horse shows, Ashland show tomorrow. Amy called me to say I am on call to be at the barn at 5:45 am. sharp. I will be waking up (Yo me estoy despiertando) at 4:30 am (a las cuatro y media de la madrugada). Is it even light out then?? Methinks not. Crazy, but I promised Amy, so I will do it.

Meanwhile, I have THREE summatives due monday. THREE! English, Spanish French. French is what I was doing all day, but I still have to do our six-panel story board sometime tomorrow night as well and transfer the moviewe made to a VHS tape. English is a 935-word essay I have to type up, and luckily my mom loves me and said she'd type it up. I can't believe what an awesome mom she is. (Shout out to my mom!). Spanish. Ah, Spanish. Louise is my partner. It's an oral presentation. She will not be there, as she just discovered. Hopefully, her reason is valid, so I won't get 0. Also hopefully her not being there gets me off the hook. Hopefully, otherwise, I'm screwed.

SO here's a toast, to stress, summatives and lack of sleep. It will all be over tomorrow night. Huzzah!

"I'd offer you my pants, but I'm not wearing any" ~Laura

So, I have a few realizations right now. I lvoe what Youth Group does to make everything clear. Seriously. God can be SO helpful.

I'm not going to rookie night. I'm jsut not. I don't feel right going, I'm not comfortable with going, so why go to please everyone else? Why comform? I'm putting up that Corinthians passage once I find it for sure...

Also, I'm cleaning up my music. The stuff I listen to is awful. It's definintley NOT what I should be listening. It's full of swearing and bad messages. I'm going to hold to higher standards. Why? Because it's better. I can do better.
PS, I would go into mroe detail about those two previous things, but I know I would get snide comments from the atheist peanut gallery. Seriously guys, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. (I don't mean to sound as mean as I realize I do. Sorry!)


Now, my To Do list:

#1: clean up my music -- so far I took most of the bad stuff off my ipod ( a LOT of music), but I need tor eally go through it, and actually DELETE things, which will be so hard. I really need support out there, to actually do it. [Support is appreciated inthe comments :D]

#2: get better music -- Lindsay's family's rule is that they aren't allowed to won secular music. They can listen to it on the radio and sutf, but they can't own it. I think that's an awesome rule. I'm going to get more christian stuff, which is just as enjoyable as the bad stuff, only better messages. I need to pester them for what's good.

#3: Get a Bible! -- we have one somewhere in our house, in fact a couple... but I want to get one that's MINE. I'm trying to decide what translation to get. I have no clue. All opinions on this are greatly appreciated in comments. I need help deciding.

Okay, this is to my friends at Lisagr, mostly. Guys, I am still the same me, even though I am holding myself to higher standards. I've always believed in God, and you've known me for awhile now. I hope you can accept these changes in me, and stay my friends, because it would hurt me so much to lose you guys.
