Pot of gold

"SOLIS-SHEPPERSON"

I honestly believe that good things happen to people who channel good energy to them. I know that sounds like a hippie way of saying it, but that's the only way I can think of putting it for now. I've been in a great mood and have ignored all of the bad things going on in my life right now; and now all of a sudden a lot of things are getting better and going right. I have not been this happy in a long time.

My friends seem to be coming around. After the whole argument with beloved Shaql, I thought our friendship was completely over. As in never speaking ever again. Well, it seems that I was wrong. I finally got the chance to talk to him, and he was not as 'pissed off' as I thought he was. He is just been super super super busy, and I can understand that completely. I feel so much better about the whole situation now that he and I talked about everything. He is such a great friend and I love him to death. I do not know what I would do without him. In full honesty though, I would probably miss his smile and laugh the most. Hahah.

So, there's this guy... Hahaha. Typical starter for me, eh? Anyway, His name is Tevin. He is insanely hilarious and really sweet. He is a pretty great guy that I hope becomes a long term friend. I also got a letter from my best friend the other day. He says he is doing well but he is really struggling with being so isolated. I feel bad for him, but hell will be home soon. I can not wait to see him. 

"You're wearing #24 on you one way or another..."

Homecoming is coming up in three weeks. THREE weeks. That is it! I am going bananas. There is so much to do and nobody is helping me. Sometimes I wondering why I ran for SCA VP. All we have done so far though is figure out the themes for the Spirit Week days and the Homecoming Dance theme. However, we still have to get them approved by the administration and everything. The process is taking forever and I doubt this whole thing will go smoothly. I am so tired of having a shitty crappy HC Dance. I hope that we have better decorations this year. Wait, we WILL have better decorations this year because I am the one planning it. Duh. :)

School is going pretty good. Boswell's class is kicking my ass butt though. She is a demon lady, I swear. Hahaha. Surprisingly, AP US History is going really well. I enjoy the class and I am not doing too bad. Mr. Duncan is the best teacher ever. I take my SAT on December third, so wish me luck. I am a little nervous about it, but I think I will do pretty good. After I get my results, I am applying for college! YAY!

Also with school, I have All County Orchestra coming up as well. That is in two weeks. Then, in four weeks the entire Orchestra has our Fall concert. The Concert Orchestra is pretty good this year and we are playing some good music. I am really looking forward to it.

I take Behind The Wheel in two weeks to get my license. I am so excited. AND I get my braces off in five weeks. I am counting down the days, believe me. I will be so happy to get these little suckers off my teeth. The Orthodontist said they will look fantastic.

As I said before, it is like everything is going really great at the moment. I have some amazing friends and have left the bad ones behind. I get my license soon and my braces off very soon as well. To top it off, school is pretty great right now too. Need less to say, I am a very happy girl right now. It seems I have hit my Pot of Gold.

Time flies when you're having fun

Little Terrell

I feel like it has been forever since I've posted. Geez. I could've sworn it was June yesterday. Anywho...
So, today was the last day of teaching summer school at MCES. After about the second week or so, some of the kids stopped coming. This one kid, Josh, was obnoxious as shit crap. When he didn't come for the last week, I was so excited. I hate to say it, but I am glad I never have to see that child again. Most of the kids were really adorable. There was one kid named Terrell and he was the cutest little thing ever. He was barely over three feet tall and the most polite child ever. Some of the kids, I will actually miss.
So, this past weekend I went to a Weezy concert. It was AMAZING! Probably the best concert I have ever been to. I'll make an entire post about it in a few minutes.
So, this guy and I are really hitting it off. He is so sweet. I miss having a relationship with somebody that's more than a friendship. I just wish people were not so harsh about this guy and I dating. He sort of has a bad reputation with girls. However, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I just really hope I don't get labeled as a whore for dating this guy. We shall see...
"Best friend" leaves in a little less than two weeks. He and I have barely talked since school let out. I'm not necessarily surprised considering we've grown apart, but I am a little disappointed. He seems to be full of broken promises, yet again. Whatever. I refuse to let him get me down. I'm to the point of where I am above that.
I must say, the past two weeks of my Summer have been the best. I've gotten along with my family great, I have a boyfriend that isn't a dick, teaching went well, I went to the best concert ever, and so much more. It feels great to be happy. It really does.
So, the coolest thing happened the other day. I found my elementary school best friend on Facebook. It made my day. I haven't talked to him in almost 9 years, but we picked up a conversation like it was just yesterday in third grade. I absolutely love catching up with old friends. I can't wait to have lunch with him one day soon and get up to date on everything in our lives.
School starts in almost a month. I'm freaking out. I can't wait for this year to start. Only thing is, I have volleyball tryouts in a week and I'm not ready in the least bit. It's going to kick my ass butt. The classes I'm taking this year are simply awesome. I am mostly looking forward to my Hon. Forensic Chemistry, Hon. Physics, and AP History classes. Even though they will be a lot of work, I still am excited about the whole shabang. I also can't believe I'm going to be SCA Vice President this year. Planning Homecoming is going to be a blast. I just hope I can get the perfect HC dress to go.
My birthday is in 33 days! I'm super hype. I was originally going to have a party, but I can't now that we don't have very sufficient funds. Oh well... I'll get over it. I am really curious to see if a certain someone wishes me a "happy birthday" considering all the crap that has happened in the past year. If I don't I will not be surprised. The guy acts like he doesn't want me in life life, period. If he doesn't, fine. Have it your way, dude. I am done fighting an ever-losing battle with you.

Reality is a kicker

Life becomes complicated when you get older?  Not really.  Then again, I'm not in my mid-twenties or thirties.  Anyways, my birthday has come and gone; thank you to all who wished it and I well!  It was a good end to my summer, and I even had quiet a surprise.  It was really swell.
School has begun again, hitting me harder than ever.  Double honors classes honestly whoop my behind.  Although, they're actually enjoyable despite the extended work effort.  The teachers are really awesome.  Seriously, any teacher who will not "PG rate" the class and uses vulgar vocabulary gets an A+ in my book.  Haha.  Although it's odd walking down the hallways, because I'm so used to seeing all of the Seniors from last year.  And according to TDHS, the hallways have gotten better now that the new Freshman-West campus has opened up?  HAH!  What a joke!  The hallways are just as crowded as they were last year with the Seniors.  I can only imagine if the Freshies were actually at the Main Campus this year.  And fifty-two people on my bus is about twenty-five too many in my opinion.
On another note, it's now my favorite season here in the US., Fall.  I like the chilled weather versus the cold weather that Winter assaults us with.  And with Fall comes football season, and with football season comes something to watch on television.  Although I like watching the Superbowl every year, I honestly don't have a favorite NFL Professional team.  I'd rather watch college football, with my adored team of the Michigan Wolverines!
As another update, I have finally started the process of getting my licence.  I'm such a "baby" of my graduating class, that I won't get the "plastic freedom" till the middle of my Junior year...  Bummer.  You've got to love laws, right?  But what really bothers me is that the woman teaching my driver's ed course and what not, is a complete nut case.  I mean, over-the-top loco.
And let's not forget the drama!  Everybody just completely adores drama, correct?!  Yes, sarcasm to say the least.  It's amazing how I'm a week into my semester and drama has already blossomed within the walls of Thomas Jail.  Most of it isn't even new, it's all from last year.  Really people, be creative.

A little note happy, are we?

When Zack and I first started dating, we talked almost nonstop.  Then one day, I told Zack I wanted to know what happens in his Physics class.  So he said to me "I'll write you a note babe."  From then on, I wrote him a note every single day.  I promised him, before we broke up, that even when he is in college, I would still write him notes daily.  And up until June 8, 2010, I wrote him a note everyday, full of love and thought.  The notes were about my day, what I'm doing in class, I would ask him how his day was, etc.  Although he only wrote me two notes.  :( bummer, but oh well, I still loved writing them.  Even though we're broken up now, I still find myself writing him notes.  Although the tone of them has changed, the time and love I put into them has not.  People are probably tired of hearing this, but I miss him a lot.  I almost didn't realize how much he really did mean to me until we broke up. :/
Life lesson learned: don't take things for granted, they're more valuable then they seem.
