So I haven’t blogged in awhile. I’ve just been busy/uninspired I guess. I don’t really have a reason though.
Things are going okay with me lately. Wednesday was a big day for me but my English presentation and Data Analysis test went okay. Although it’s weird how much my self esteem is connected to grades. I would never believe if I got an A on something and someone else got a B that I was smarter than them so how come if someone does better on something than me I start to doubt myself? Why do I have this enormous fear of making mistakes and I don’t even know if this relates to Wednesday or not because I believe I did really well even though I don’t know for sure. It’s just a general observation about myself.
Last night was fun. Watching hot japanese guys with one group of friends and meeting another group of friends at the sundance. It was pretty sweet. I really like karokee even though I’m not the best singer in the world. Laura and I sang Britney Spears’s Oops I Did It Again which was funny.

So it’s beautiful outside today. This might sound cheezy, but it’s nice to see such a sunny day after the “storms” I’ve been through. The sun represents hope to me and the ending of my last year was pretty rough. It feels as though the sun is a symbol of hope for me right now and I’m feeling really optimistic about the new year. I also had a really good time hanging out with Emilie yesterday. I thought we’d have to meet in the rain but the sun came out and it was though the universe really loved us that day or something.

I find this website really cool. It talks about the sixteen personality types and gives each different type a general personality profile and suggests careers that might suit that personality type. It also describes how each type acts in friendships and romantic relationships. Btw, I’m an infj if anyone’s curious. I think I read somewhere that I’m apparently the most stubborn of all personality types and my personality profile here seems to back that up.
Note to Krystal, Scott and Tyler M. : Could you guys tell me your personality type? You don’t have to. I”m just kind of curious.
One more thing. I’ve gotten some really good movie recommendations lately. The Truman show is the most amazing movie I’ve ever seen. Eternal Sunshine is really good too as long as you don’t mind movies that are pretty philosophical and bizarre. (If you like American Beauty, you’ll probably like it ). They’re both Jim Carrey movies and he does an amazing job in both of them. Lost In Translation is good too.
I feel so happy right now. It must be a combination of endorphins and the sun. Exercise is my favourite drug. It makes me feel amazing. I mean I never like the feeling before I”m about to do it, while I”m doing it has it’s up and downs but after I lift weights or especially go running I feel incredible.
Back to reality but reality is still beautiful. Even if I have to study I’ll know I’ve gotten something good from the experience. Yeah, this blog might be too happy for some people but I’m not going to apologize for that. Life is short. Enjoy it well it lasts.

So I went through a really rough couple of days. Especially Saturday. Saturday was a really gross day. Ew. I think everything that was going on in my life just hit me at once but I’m feeling better and better as the days go by.
I think at a different time in my life I’ll read A Day No Pigs Would Die. It’s about a boy whose dad is a butcher and he keeps a pig for a pet. yeah, that’s probably not going to have a good ending although it sounds interesting but it’s Christmas so I’m definately going to save that one for another time.
I also want to read The Potrait Of The Artist As A Young Man and re-read Sons and Lovers again. I’m excited to be introduced to Paul and Mariam again. I identify with them more than any other characters in literature.
Anyways, I’m probably not going to blog again before Christmas.
So Merry Christmas Everybody! I love you guys and I’m so glad you’re part of my life. You all deserve to have an awesome day. And if anyone decides to read this blog that I”m not friends with I hope you have a great christmas too.

I wrote my last exam today. It was probably my hardest one but it’s over now. YAY!
Oh and I had this really weird dream last night that I was in my Geography room and we had a huge test and I was unprepared for it. I think it was our final and I felt so bad because it was Ms. York and obviously everyone else had studied really well and was going to do well but I completely forgot about the exam and it felt really realistic. If that happened in real life I would hate it. I was kind of relieved when I woke up though so in a strange way it helped me prepare for my exam.
Speaking of exams, some people finish so frickin quickly that I can’t understand it. What happens and one of the girls that finished really early today is an A student so it’s confusing. Oh well.
Btw, this is random but looking back at my writing this semester it’s kind of dark. I always thought my writing was cheerful and ridiculously happy but when I look back at my writing it’s not like that at all which is kind of weird. I thought I was an optimist. I think writing is a healing process maybe and once I deal with the problem I can move on I guess.

Yeah, I thought I had a lot more to say but I’m stuck right now.
Oh well. I still want to thank Em for her awesome song recommendation. It’s called The Only Exception by Paramore and it’s really cute.
I’m reading a book about how t.v. is taking over our lives and it’s really spooky. I’m definately going to think twice everytime I turn on the t.v. It’s called remotely controlled. It’s backed up with a lot of scientific evidence and it talks about how television can lead to eating disorders, depression, obesity and violence etc. Every argument he makes is backed up with a large body of research and his logic is nearly flawless. It’s too brilliant for a brief comment or passionate rambling on a blog to do it any justice so I’m just going to stop now.
In general, I think I’m going to start alternating non-fiction books with fiction books when I’m reading for leisure. Reading non-fiction gives me a satisfaction I can’t get with fiction books.

So lately I’m really enjoying pop music. There is a lot of bad music out there but I’m being pleasently surprised lately. I mean I still do think the 60s as a whole had a lot more higher quality music than the stuff that comes out now and I don’t think I’ll ever change my mind about that but there’s some female artists I think I subconciously put into categories without looking closer at their music. There are a lot of female pop artists that I think are mostly famous based on their physical appearance and that don’t have a lot of talent but i just heard I Don’t Believe You by Pink and it sounds really nice and Speechless by Lady Gaga is pretty good. I mean yes Lady Gaga dresses pretty sluty sometimes but that doesn’t mean that’s all she’s about. I was reading an interesting thing on the paper on how she wrote the fame monster based on different things she was afraid of (ie.sex, love, alcohol, death). I mean I”d never say she’s going to change music history or anything but I really liked that concept. I’m also really into Abba lately which is older pop music but it’s still pretty good and it makes me happy.
Anyways, my exams…
English- It went okay. It was two paragraphs and an essay. I think I rocked the essay but I”m not too sure. I must say I really liked rereading Great Expectations. I felt that I noticed things I didn’t before and it was really cool. I might try the same thing with Sons and Lovers or Women in Love when I get a chance.
Social Psychology- I wasn’t really worried about this one. I wrote it today. MC. I don’t like eight thirty exams but it did feel good to have the rest of the day free.
Do you ever hear those songs that sound ridiculously happy but are actually really sad? That confuses me but it’s kind of funny at the same time.
One more random thing. I was watching Dawson’s Creek again today and Joey completely freaked out at Dawson for reading her journal. It reminded me of me which made me laugh and if anybody ever does that with me they’re dead.

First Conversation:
Arthur Brooks: And remember, you’re still young enough to fall in and out of love a few more times before you get it right.
Dawson: That doesn’t sound very fun.
Arthur Brooks: It isn’t… And it is… And it isn’t. But it’s worth it. Every single time.
Jack’s Quote:
Jack: I don’t believe in perfect love. But I do believe that there are people who’s lives are inextricably intertwined.

I love hearing songs wrong.
I thought I heard:
I forgot my boyfriend was the one that had bought me this bra.
But it’s really:
I forgot my boyfriend was the one that had bought me this rock.
I think the first line would be a lot funnier. Now I”m kind of depressed.

So today we had our research psychology poster session which was kind of fun. We got free crackers and fruit and got to look at everybody’s posters. The food was the best part but the experiments were cool. I would explain my experiment but I’ve been explaining it a lot today so I don’t really feel like explaining it again.
And then in English the people next to me are still laughing at a really embrassing moment I had a couple of weeks ago but oh well. I got a really good mark on my English essay and the weather was beautiful today.
Tomorrow I think I”m having a pizza party in Social Psychology and then in Creative Writing we’ll probably just get our portfolios back. I’m really going to miss Social Psyc. That class was awesome!
College makes me feel smart. For some reason it feels like I”m doing a lot better grade wise in Colllege than I did in high school and I enjoy what I’m learning a lot more.
Three Songs I Love Lately: Speechless by Lady Gaga, Amnesia by Britney Spears and Soar by Christina Aguleria
Amnesia is such a cute song. Soar I’ve loved for ages and Speechless is really sad since she wrote it for her Dad before his surgery. Does anyone else get annoyed at the people who comment on utube and say things like that video was lame, get a life or this artist is stupid? um, it was your choice to watch the video. I don’t think people go on utube to hear bitchy comments. Well, maybe some people do. I don’t know.
Anyways, I have two choices since my life will be really hectic until the 9th and fairly hectic until the 18th. I can either choose to freak out and go crazy or try to stay calm. I’m going to try and stay calm.
