Hey, how's it going?

Well, the only time I'll be blogging will be when I'm at my college.  I'm extremely tired and sad that spring break is over.  It was a good time.  Anyway, I'm much to tired to write about Chicago, so let me tell you a few things so that you don't go crazy (like I am this week)

1.   I lost the privilege of internet access at home, so no blogging there or my high school, only here
2.   I am EXTREMELY busy this week and will not be getting home before 9:00/9:30 pm Tues.-Fri. due to the fact I have Living Stations at my church
3.   I also have play practice every night this week and will have to go straight from play to stations...
4.   It's raining (or at least feels like it's about to) outside and it smells amazing and I love it, but is making me very drowsy and I want to go to sleep
5.   I just signed up for Script Frenzy.  I am insane.
6.   I have two music quizzes, a music paper, and a writing quiz to take
7.   I'm pretty sure I have a quiz Friday in small group communications
8.   I need a to do list
9.   I have one, but I need to find it.
10. I can't think
11. I need to clean my room, BADLY

Updates on me:
*I got a hair cut, same length, more layers
*my brothers messed up my bed (which I am extremely particular about) while I was in Chicago, so when I got home at 12:30 am I had to make my bed before I could fall asleep (I had to sleep next to a snorer- and I mean, a really bad snorer, in Chicago, so believe me when I say I was tired.)
*my dad is having issues and I don't know what or why, he's just acting like he's PMSing or something.  I don't get it
*I'm checking out three movies from the library, The Invisible, Juno, and Beastly.  I'm excited, but will not watch them until Saturday.  I shouldn't even be on my blog right now, so after this I'm done.  I'm doing a media fast for Stations.

K, I gotta go.  Talk to you Saturday (if I get internet back...)
bye

My first 8 hour shift... ugh... OW!

Okay, ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!!!!!  So you know how I was all excited yesterday or very very early this morning to be working at MOA so that I could earn money to go on my band trip to Chicago (I play french horn)... weeelll, let's just say it did not live up to my expectations.
Yes, I knew I'd be working an eight hour shift from 2 to 10, and I knew it would be late, but I thought I'd be working taking tickets or something at Nickolodeon Universe (It will forever be Camp Snoopy to me, I'm sorry) working with the rides or something like that.
Nooo.  My mom and I spent 8 hours wiping tables in the food court.  Wiping tables.  In the food court!  For EIGHT HOURS!!!  Within the first hour, I knew that it was going to be a loooong day.  To say it majorly sucked would be an understatement.  So, next time you're at a mall and you see someone wiping tables in the food court, make sure to be nice to them.  Because that job is painful, I tell you.  Eight hours on your feet.  Wiping the same tables over and over again.  It's not so bad if they're actually dirty, but towards the end of the shift, there was hardly anybody there, and I made a full circut of the court, came back, and the tables I had cleaned were still... wonder of wonders... clean.  I'm sorry.  I'm not going to clean something that is perfectly clean already.  So I grabbed a broom and started sweeping.  I sang songs to myself to keep myself occupied.  That was my entertainment.  That, and the occasional pop spill.  I found a fortune cookie, a dime, two pennies, and a canadian penny on the ground... worth it?  I think not.
ugh... I am so sore and I have to get up early tomorrow to sing in choir so I have to stop blogging and get a few minutes of writing in before I hit the hay... not sure how long I'll last...

until tomorrow

I'm catching up!!!!

Yes!!!  4,479 words later and I'm 1,918 words a day (doable) away from winning NaNo!  And guess what?  My story is moving along just fine!!!!!!  I've got a lot of places to go!

Okay, I've had an awesomely productive day!!!
Enough exclaimation points, already, miss Haili!!

Good morning world
hope you've had a fun black friday- cuz I spent it writing!  or getting distracted and not writing.

Yeah, in the time I was not writing, I figured out
1. my graduation cake
2. my graduation theme colors (red for both my high school and college of choice CSB SJU)
3. my prom dress color (also red, though my favorite color is purple)
4. the tiara I want to wear to prom
5. how to make andes mint filling a christmas cake I'm making, because there aren't enough birthdays in my family, and my mom always gets a strawberry pie and my sister always wants an ice cream cake, so I don't get to make their cakes
6. that I'm going to make Carmel Apple Cheesecake when I finish my novel

yes, I will post pictures of some of these tomorrow, or later today... whenever

Also, I'm currently listening to Air1 christmas
Do you like to listen to christmas music before Thanksgiving?  Someone got really upset because Air1 posted an online station for Christmas music in early Nov.  I frankly couldn't care.  I was practicing Melody Bober's Angel Medley in June, so it really makes no difference to me whatsoever.

I'll be playing background music at my church next weekend, so I have to practice. 
Anyway, I have to work tomorrow so I need to get to sleep (I'm going to MOA to work at Nickolodeon Universe with my mom to earn money to go to Chicago with my band this spring)
