By bad, I mean semi-traumatizing. I really want high school to be over. Really badly. I'm going upstairs to finish my algebra 2 homework and then finish Hunger Games. How can people be so bloody ignorant? It just blows my mind. What happened from the beginning of fourth period to 109 minutes later after school was absolutely horrendous and sent me on the bus to the regular high school in tears. I was still shaking when I got to the high school. I'm so tired. I just want to graduate. Why do people have to use violence to get their way? It's so horrible.
Love. Seriously.
Going upstairs now. I need to drown out the day with my books. I wish my best friend was here. I could really use just a hug from him. Although a 12 (ish) hour drive here and back just to hug someone is really not worth it.
No seminary until I get my Algebra 2 grade back to where it was. Maybe the extra sleep will help this week get a little better. Maybe.

mmm. Bacon.
My mom bought the awesome costco bacon that comes in an enormous bag. Judging by the amount of meat I eat, an outside perspective probably would never say that I was ever a vegetarian in my life. Heck, I can't believe it either. But I was. For 2 years. I did have a couple weak spots. One time, my family had turkey meatballs. I sneakily ate one while no one was looking and then got mad at my mom when she caught me and called me out on it.
Hm, yeah. I'm a good eater. My friend's mom told me about a friend of hers from when she was in High School who was on her softball team. She always ate a snickers bar and a soda for lunch or something like that and was really really skinny and then it caught up to her. I'm pretty sure if I don't learn how to eat like a normal human person soon, that's going to happen to me too. Although... I take seconds and even thirds almost everyday at dinner... well, I used to.
Anyway, maybe I should eat healthier. At least I'm not eating a snickers bar and soda for lunch everyday... that's something... right???

I miss Jacob.
It's been so long since I've written to him or heard from him. I know he's probably doing really well on his mission, I still have the letters from him and I read them often because they help me with my faith. Here's his testimony from the last letter I got. He wrote it in portuguese, which I do not speak... so I used google translator. I'm glad he was getting the language so well, but it is kind of hard to understand.
This week I read and I like Jacob when Jacob explains the importance of the prophets. For example, in Jacob 4:4. Many people here do not understand that we need a prophet today and do not understand what a prophet is. But I know we have prophets again, that as God called prophets in ancient times that Joseph Smith was called to be a prophet, and now we have a prophet named Thomas S. Monson. We have prophets, therefore we can dare to be led this life and be happy and know what God wants us to do. This work is hard sometimes, but as is said in Jarom 1:3, that much work needs to happen here.
Maybe I'll finally get some stamps so I can write to him again. I think I will. I want to hear how things are going for him and the people in his mission.

Someone like you
This is pretty much my favorite song right now. It's just so incredibly amazing. Although it doesn't really apply to me all that much because I'm only 17 and I don't have to worry about meeting back up with the man of my dreams only to find out that he is married... yeah. If i had to worry about that I would have some issues that would definitely need to be addressed.
Anyway I love this song. I just always have it stuck in my head and I always sing it to myself. I found tabs for it somewhere and I just play around with the notes too. I just love the piano and the song altogether. It's definitely a song that I want to sing in front of a ton of people wearing a beautiful black dress with all kinds of shiny jewelery and sing while someone plays the piano behind me. Sometimes I pretend that's what I'm doing but in reality, i'm in front of a mirror with my hair curler hitting high notes that are so high that my cat comes in with this look like "Please stop, you're killing me." While she meows incessantly until I stop singing. I'm really not a bad singer, I just sing loud actually I kinda like my voice. I'm just really scared of singing in front of people. When my choir teacher asked me to do a demonstration of homeward bound when you only use one breath for like 10 measures (ok not that much, I'm obviously exaggerating, I'm a stick I don't think my body can even hold that much air) anyway I was really freaked out. I don't do solos, mainly because I get so scared that when I do go to sing I sound like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRw-lfXy_tQ&feature=relmfu
But that's really honestly not my actual voice when I sing. I promise I'm actually a good singer, I just don't have a lot of confidence yet. YET! I will though.

where in the world are my friends?
Lately about a million of my friends have been opening their mission calls. I even have some already on missions, here's where my friends are serving or will be serving so far:
-Sao Paolo, Brazil (2 people)
-Rio Dejanaro, Brazil
-somewhere else in brazil (forgot the name)
-Chile
-Jacksonville, Florida (2 people)
It's pretty exciting to know that so many of the guys I know have been called all over the world! :)
Also have 3 more friends who will be submitting their papers within the next few months. One of them being my best friend. Very exciting.

Mi encanta musica! :D
I love music, and I love my senior project. It's really stretching my brain and my musical ability. I even find myself curving my fingers while I type these blog posts like you're supposed to when you play the piano. I've been practicing so much that I live and breathe this song. I've always got it stuck in my head and when I listen to other songs I find myself tapping to the beat. Like right now, I'm listening to someone like you by Adele (The good version where she does it live in her home, not the crappy auto tune version where they make her voice go all high. I love that she sings low, it's just so beautiful and soulful). I'm trying to spend as much time as I can practicing "couldn't hear nobody pray" with my keyboard's built in metronome. I want to get it 100% this Wednesday when I show my choir teacher/mentor what I've been practicing. There is also quite a bit of praying to get it right too. I'm learning how to develop patience with myself very slowly but surely. Playing the same song over and over definitely helps me with that.
On the 21st, in the morning when we usually have seminary, we're going to have a morning fireside thing with a guest speaker (I don't know what it's going to be about or who is speaking.) All I know is when my seminary teacher said our senior class was asked to do the music, she asked who wants to play the piano? I found myself raising my hand and she asked if I would and I said yes I'd love to. She asked me to do a prelude too. I was so happy and excited (I still am...) but I realized that I have never played an entire hymnal with all four parts, or any other song for that matter, in front of a crowd of more than 20 people. I'm really nervous but I'm also really excited. I've chosen the hymn (and just in case there's more time) hymn for the prelude, but the guy who is doing chorister hasn't decided which song he wants to do... I really need to know soon because I need to practice it. I'm so nervous. I'm going to be practicing a lot of music this week. It would be so embarrassing to mess up at the morning side on Friday morning. However, it is at 6 in the morning so maybe everyone will just be too tired to notice???

Orchestra... or choir?
i'm torn between becoming a choir teacher and becoming an orchestra teacher. i don't know which one to choose! I'm glad my college major is a broad one (music education) because there is more than just one career choice that can come out of it. If i was torn between becoming a doctor or a lawyer. That would be a more difficult decision.
Hm, maybe I can teach both. Hm. i wish i was doing orchestra stuff along with the choir stuff i'm doing for my senior project. I so wish I had a cello to play. I still have all my sheet music from elementary school to 7th grade. It would make learning "couldn't hear nobody pray" on the piano a lot easier. i love learning all this stuff don't get me wrong. It's just difficult. I would like to be able to do some kind of music i know I excel at without a lot of practicing and furrowing of my eyebrow in frustration.
brb gonna go type my senior paper now and leave to go home soon. This school day is feeling way too long.

I don't understand
Why people want to be alone when they're sad. It just doesn't make sense to me. When they're going through something and they just don't want to have anyone help them. Whenever something bad happens to me, I always want a hug at least. I always want to be around someone who I know will make me feel better. Like this morning on the bus on the way from the high school where I take choir to the smaller high school where I spend the rest of the day... I started crying because I realized I still like someone, not because he told me he wanted to be alone. Yesterday I sent him an email saying that I didn't like him anymore well, I mentioned it in the email. Because I thought he wasn't replying to emails and texts or answering my calls or calling me back because he doesn't like me anymore or something. I don't know. Weird girl stuff. Anyway, I told him that I didn't like it and I meant it 100% last night. I've spent weeks trying to get over this crush because we both have lives and we need to move forward. Having a crush on someone for this long only weighs me down. But I realized that I do still like him. I feel confident putting this on my blog because I know he doesn't read it. And I'm not saying his name.
Anyway, I'm at lunch at school now and I'm just feeling really weighed down today. I'm not sad or anything, it just feels like I'm dragging myself from class to class. I definitely failed my algebra 2 test today and I'm kinda mad at myself for that because I've been working so hard to keep that grade up and going. I just want to go home and drown my thoughts by studying SAT stuff and doing personal progress. I always feel so much better when I do those two things.
On saturday I have the PSAT. I hope I do really well on it because it will help me be a little more prepared for the SAT, which I take in december. My mom bought me a HUGE SAT study book from Princeton Review. It's amazingly terrifying to see just how enormous this thing really is. It's bigger than my algebra 2 textbook. I have only 2 ish months until the test and I'm going to be studying like crazy. In my spare time I'm going to practice "couldn't hear nobody pray" to my keyboard's metronome so that I finally get it 100% right next wednesday when I meet with my mentor again. It's hard learning how to keep a constant beat because its a lot easier on cello because you just hold out the note with your bow until the conductor moves on. Cello is kind of one of those instruments where when you're reading the music, as long as you get the notes right and look up and follow the conductor, you're pretty much golden. I miss playing the cello. My senior project is difficult and yesterday after school, I spent about 40 ish minutes with an internet metronome going at a constant beat trying to get the first few lines of couldn't hear nobody pray absolutely perfectly.
Well, class is starting up again. I'll try to make the rest of the day a better one. Hope yours is better than mine :)

Lalala rain... it's that time of year
It's cold and rainy today! But it's fall and the leaves are sort of in some places starting to change, which is amazing. I always love fall. It's my favorite because of the colors of the leaves. It's gorgeous.
This past sunday I got 2 new scripture ribbons for personal progress. First, good works and second, individual worth. Yellow and red (when I was up there in YW explaining the projects I did to my friends, the whole time I kept thinking, ketchup and mustard ribbons! :D) what can I say? I have a low attention span :)
So now I have four scripture ribbons. :D Almost done with personal progress. I set the goal in April or May to be done with it by October 22nd. That is quickly approaching... but I still believe in myself and I'll do as much of it as I can. I'm not going to hurry through it and miss something valuable that I could learn. If it takes me longer than my goal, that's okay. But considering I finished all this so quickly and I only really have a couple value experiences and 4 more projects to do, I think I can do it :)
However, Algebra 2 and PSAT come first this week. Tomorrow I'm going to the temple and that will be my relaxation and spiritual rejuvenation before I continue to prepare and study for the PSAT this saturday. I'm taking the SAT in december, so this PSAT will help me get ready for december. Algebra 2 is still difficult, but it's okay. I'm a little behind but this evening I'm going to get all caught up on the work I missed and all the concepts I don't understand. It will be fine.
Christmas choir last night at the stake center was amazing! The spirit when we sang our songs was so beautiful and calming. The songs we're singing aren't very commonly known and we won't be singing the Hallelujah chorus this year even though its tradition :( I was looking forward to it, but I know I'll get the opportunity to do it sometime in the future, so it will be ok.
Hm, what else? I'm cleaning my room up. I have so many papers all over and just not a lot of time to clean it, or not a lot of energy I guess is the better way to say that.
Right now I should get back to cleaning my room so I can do my algebra 2. That will make my temple trip even more calming tomorrow. I am so excited for the temple :) This will be my second time ever being inside the temple to do baptisms for the dead. My friend was just baptized on saturday and she's coming too! It's going to be such a great experience for her and I am so happy that she gets to experience it. It's gorgeous in the temple I absolutely love it, there's nothing else like the feeling of being in the font in the baptistry :)
I'll write about my second time... probably tomorrow but more likely thursday.

Tangled
I love the movie tangled. It's just such a beautiful movie. It's funny and sweet. One scene that particularly gets me is the lanterns when they are in the boat. I cry every time. It reminds me of last year at a choir concert at the grotto. It was just so pretty and well... there was something else that made it special, or rather someone. It was just such a beautiful concert. I love tangled. I can't wait for that concert this year because I get to direct the music (or most of it). I am so excited.
Tomorrow i get to go to my friend Brittany's baptism. I am so excited for her. She also gets to come with us to the temple this wednesday, it will only be my second time doing baptisms for the dead, but I loved it the first time I went. I am so excited for her. She is a beautiful spirit. On sunday I also get to start 2 new choirs. Ward and stake christmas choir :) On sunday I also get my third personal progress ribbon. **excited*** this weekend is going to be amazing and wonderful and so pumped with the spirit.
Just wanted to put this out there too: I don't know if he reads my blog, I don't think he does, but I just wanted to tell a certain friend how incredibly amazing he is. I can't wait to see you again! You'll have to tell me all about college. I haven't verbally communicated with him in 2 months and I miss him, but I know he's busy and stressed. Anyway, you are loved my friend. Try to see the glass half full as much as you can, I understand things will be difficult. Have a great weekend everyone, I know I will!

Had a dream...
Last night I had a dream that a friend of mine- whom I am very close to- left on his mission. I remember dreaming that I was racing to the airport (or wherever it was) to say goodbye to him. I remember that I was not able to give him a hug, but I was able to shake his hand and wish him farewell. It was an emotional dream because of the person who left on the mission, but i remember also dreaming that someone asked why only boys get to go on missions in the church. I replied saying girls can go too, in fact I'm going on a mission in a couple years.
It's weird to think that my friends are all leaving on missions soon. Another friend who I dated for about 8-10 months (I don't remember exactly how long) just got his mission call on friday night to Sao Paolo, Brazil. Which incidentally is where another good friend of mine is serving. I write to this friend a lot and it sounds like he is really learning a lot from his mission. I am so excited for my friends and to see the brilliant young men they have become since I met them in our sophomore year of high school is a great blessing. (Was it really 4 years ago???)
They will all make fine missionaries and learn a lot about themselves and the gospel and they will grow closer to our heavenly Father. They have such kind spirits and good hearts, I know they will bless the lives of those in their missions. :)

ouch
Today was the first time that I've been running in about 2 months. I am tired. And I only ran 1 mile. (And not in a very good time compared to what I have done). I'm soooo tired. Today was a great day. I'll try to run as often as I can when I get the time. Right now I'm going to flop on the couch and drink water and stuff in my warm hoodie :)
woohoo!!!
My senior project is approved!!! Just got my senior project proposal back about half an hour ago and I am so PUMPED! Those little initials on the 'approved' line made me feel so much joy it's unbelievable. Seriously. I know, I'm odd. :)
And, I know I've said this a bunch of times but I am so so so so SOOOOO close to being done with personal progress. It's so exciting. I wake up each day and kind of smile (although I don't get up much quicker... the snooze button still works it's magic ;) anyway I wake up with a smile because I'm on my way to living the dream!
The dream of course being that I go to college and become a music teacher. I'm taking the SAT in december and studying like crazy for it. My GPA is unimaginably high at last. Algebra 2 is rough but I am actually understanding it after the excessive hours and hours of studying. I dislike studying math so much and I often feel like giving up and I often do and stop and then come back to it later because I feel bad and stressed. Hopefully I can find some way to encourage myself even more.
Anyway, I reached another milestone :) I also got an incredibly sweet note from a really good friend of mine. She's such a darling girl. I asked her to do something for me for a value Experience in Individual worth and she did and it made me feel so great. It was a fantastic start to my day. I have to say that I am so glad to have a friend like her. She is so amazing :)

Anyway, I reached another milestone :) I also got an incredibly sweet note from a really good friend of mine. She's such a darling girl. I asked her to do something for me for a value Experience in Individual worth and she did and it made me feel so great. It was a fantastic start to my day. I have to say that I am so glad to have a friend like her. She is so amazing :)
