THREE DAY WEEKEND! all weekends need to be that long. we go to school far too many hours to only have two days off.

friday was insane. lauryn, sherry, and i went to the cheesecake factory in sugarland. what should have been a 20 minute ride ended up being THREE hours in traffic. i think there was an accident and three lanes of cars had to move over to the far left lane. so we get to the cheesecake factory around 9 oclock and we still have to wait for half an hour for seats. who (besides people stuck in traffic for 3 hours) goes to eat dinner at 9? but the food was amazing as always.

saturday, sunday, and monday were boring.

my oh so cool yearbook class.

the readers are leaders crew.

alright 5 weird habits. (yeah it's late. i didn't know i was tagged)

1. in class i sit indian style in my chair. well really only my left leg because both legs won't fit. i also cross my legs and sticks my hands between them to keep them warm.

2. when i finish drinking canned cokes i have to crush the can. i don't know what's up with that. maybe i'm trying to remind myself there's no more and to not pick it up and drink because it's over. done. no more.

3. i look at my rear view mirror about every five seconds. i'm always worried there are cops everywhere because my parents always go on about not speeding and insurance rates and blah blah blah other things that will happen if i get a ticket.

4. the clock on my bedside table is 5 minutes early. i don't know how it got like that but it hasn't changed since i stole it from downstairs. every daylight's savings day i think about changing it to the right time but that is ruining the system so i don't.

5. every time i go on any computer at school i open my computer and go to the y drive (journalism/yearbook folder). i do it on instinct. after i open it i can't even remember what i was trying to do.

whoever wants to be tagged, you're tagged.

why do we have to try so hard? we have to get stellar grades even if we don't give a ---- about most of the subjects and be involved with many organizations even if we once again, don't give. i feel like we have to fake our way to reach the top. you have to exaggerate because the real you is not good enough. i bet most of us have just wanted to say "i give up." i have many times but didn't completely mean it. i still tried. it's in my nature to try and it's not going to go away because of too much pressure and stress. i think i have given up a little this year though- i got the hours that i needed, i got into the top 10%, i've applied to college. high school's almost over and yet it all doesn't end there. i need to fake some more. i don't know what career i'll be good in and i don't know how to be on my own without my parents taking care of my health, nutrition and money. for now i've got to keep trying. i'm going to study for my two finals so much, i'll be throwing up math.

happy gobble day!

ah thanksgiving. what a joyous time. we were supposed to go my uncle's house for a family get-together party but all the families showed up at different times, got bored, and then left. so we ended up not even going. i wanted to see my little baby cousins so badly too. they're so cute. i dont know if it's a problem with the progressing generation or something but i never see my relatives anymore. everyone is caught up with their job or just not wanting to socialize. no one has birthday parties anymore or successful holiday parties. at least i got to spend it with my family. that's what today's about after all.

tonight is movie marathon baby. meet the parents, how to lose a guy in ten days, a lot like love, and family guy stewie griffin: the untold story.

i hope everyone had an awesome thanksiving. CHRISTMAS WILL BE HERE SOON.
