hullo.

It's finally the new year! I've made so much progress in every aspect of my life over the last year, and I'm very glad for that. I hope to start off clean when we get back to school. I've cleaned up my room completely so I now live in a much better environment, it allows me to breathe easier. 

So, the past two days I spent the night at my grandmother's house because the furnace at my house was messed up. Thankfully it's all fixed now, I started to miss my bed, although it was nice to be able to play the Wii whenever I liked. And watch movies on a huge HD tv.

But, since my sister and I didn't really get to go anywhere while we were there, we decided last night when we were sitting at home, we wanted to go to a movie. So, we went to Cinemark to see Marley & Me. I won't give any of it away, but it was the saddest movie ever. I was very surprised. I think the entire theatre was crying, I had tears literally streaming down my face. It was very good, though Carly and I both loved it. Of course now we both had to read the book. 

yesssssssssss!!!!!!

Everything is finally working out for me! Life is wonderful! GAH! This is the best thing ever!

woot!

Today was fabulous! At first I felt really sick and crappy but now I'm doing much better. I got a haircut today, and I love it! I have bangs again!

After my haircut, I went with Arlette to the Hal Marcus art studio to see a performance by the Shimmy Sisters, it was great. After the show, we went around to see the different vendors and saw our belly dance instructor. I also bought a pair of earrings and a tape measurer bracelet, they're both so cute! All the people there were awesome too. A portrait painter there introduced himself to me and told me I had an amazing face, but I didn't get to exchange numbers because it was during the performance and people were passing by like crazy. Then Arlette and I got our pictures taken for the newspaper. And oh my god, I LOVE Laileinia's husband! He's in the band that does the Shimmy Sisters' music and not only is he adorable, he's also freakin' hilarious and awesome! When I was buying my earrings from him I asked how much they were and he's like, "How much do you wanna pay?" So I'm like, "Uhh... five dollars?!" "Sure! They're yours!" It was great and he was just talking to us telling us we all get a

 discount because we belly dance. The whole lot of people there was just so cool, it was like artist heaven! I loved it.

my bracelet

my earrings!

Oh, and today I found the video of my father dancing with the Shimmy Sisters on youtube, it's hilarious, enjoy! My dad is the first guy they bring on stage, the one who looks like a dork haha. My belly dance instructor is also featured in the video as well as all of the girls who participated in the Arabian Nights show at UTEP. Yay, Karisha!

wow.

So, I haven't updated in almost a month! A lot has happened, too. This week is finals week, and I'm so happy I'm exempt from everything! That means I just have to come in for forty-five minutes every morning this week and then I can leave! I consider winter to break to have already started for me.

Today was such a good day! It just got better and better as the day progressed. First, in World Geography we had a "party" which basically consisted of us watching some dumb christmas theme movie whilst eating crappy food that people brought. But, I can't complain too much, since we didn't have to do anything all period. Then, in P.E. we did nothing. I got to listen to my ipod all period, which wasn't too exciting. So, I wrote Arlette a letter on an index card. Haha.

Finally, I got to Biology, where I watched Enchanted for the first time. Yes, I know, I'm way behind. But, none the less, I LOVED it. It was completely adorable and dorky. I love movies like that, my inner dork needs to shine through!

Then, Geometry. It was like, the moment of truth in that class because Mrs. Galvez got her class schedule for next semester. I was so happy when I saw that ALL of my friends are still going to be in the same class next year! The rest of the day I just spent talking with Alan and Arlette, which I always enjoy. Then I went over to Arlette's to hang out and eat dinner. I love her mom's food. Oh my god. But, it was cool, because I didn't think her mom really liked me, but then today Arlette was joking around saying something about me never being to their before and her mom was like "Oh, whatever! She's a part of this house!" It made me feel so good! 

Well, that's about it. I'll update again this weekend, because somehow I think the most exciting thing I'll be doing this week is sleeping. Woooo!

au revoir

ahh, procastination

So! Right now I should be...

1. Writing a review for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

2. Reading Great Expectations and,

3. Doing an English worksheet. 

Am I doing any of the above? Of course not! I'm gonna wait till the last possible second, like I always do! 

Anywho, I haven't updated here in a while, save my little wish list. God, I can't wait for christmas. I've been brainwashing myself for the past week listening to Sunny 99.9, all they've been playing since the beginning of November is Christmas songs. I love it.

I really have nothing else to say. Oh well.

So, Friday I went and saw HSM3 again, and it was even better the second time. I was 10x more annoying this time also. It was great.

Other than that I did pretty much nothing this weekend.

But, one last thing...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASSADIE!
