There is none.
I'll be back to blogging soon- once time seems to allow it.
Hopefully I'll have a real post up this week! Stay tuned.

Touch of an angel
Lately, my brother's girlfriend- who is a dear friend to me- has been going through a very hard time. After a rough night last night, she was touched today and the story she told me literally sent goose bumps up my spine. So I will share the story.
A 70 year old man came into where I was working today and asked to use the phone. I allowed him to, and after making his phone call he came up to me and began talking. He spoke of God, saying I needed to trust him. He told me that good things happen to people even when times are very bad and I shouldn't be scared. He asked me if I had let God into my heart yet and I didn't respond. He proceeded to take my hand and pray for me, asking God to protect me. He said that God sent him, and he was an artist. He looked at me and told me I was a lost soul right now and that God would lead me. He said God won't take anyone to heaven if they aren't ready. He then wrote down a few verses on a piece of paper and went to his car, getting me a bible. I was so frustrated with what had been happening, and then today this man came in. The verse was about how I call for help and get no answer, and I'm asking for God to save me. He looked at me again and said how much I need God and he knew that this moment would change my life.
I've never personally experienced an encounter with an angel. Saying this, you always wonder if encounters do exist. But I now doubt nothing. My faith has been renewed.
This man KNEW what was occuring in her life. What she was feeling. What she needed to hear. It's not coincidental.
God works in mysterious ways. Every day he reveals his magic in beautiful experiences. I'm so thrilled to know that my brother is up in heaven with a man who can change so many lives and support so many people.

Essay procrastination.
I'm currently writing an essay based on a piece by Annie Dillard. No offense to her- I highly enjoy her excerpts. I just hate the prompts I get about them.
So. I'm currently 100 words short and not wanting to finish! WOO! Yay for procrastination. Oh and did I mention that I got this prompt a month ago? Oh yeah- it's also due tomorrow. And I started three hours ago.
You probably think I should just finish it. I probably should. I simply have a hatred for this type of writing.
Why do I dislike it so? I'm a creative writer. I write to please, I write to entertain, and I write for my own enjoyment! I like to use pretty words, extend my thoughts, typical writing stuff.
What do I not like? Guidelines. Exact guidelines. Writing tight. Writing 'right' according to AP standards. I honestly do not care how Dillard's diction contributes towards the title of her piece! Do you?? NO!
Sigh. I'll finish at some point or another. I'd say I'm hoping for an ice storm tonight so it won't be due tomorrow. But I can't even hope for that since we turn essays in online.
On a lighter note, I just got a little modeling job! Not a big deal- actually for a children's company but the owner is hoping to extend to teens. My favorite part? I get to keep everything I model with! The company is called 'Woobie Wear'- their website is woobiewear.com. Check it out! I'll make sure to put up a few of my first pictures once they're taken!
I think I'll get back to writing that pointless essay of mine. Sigh. I'm ready for senior year already!!

Going Crazy
I strongly dislike school. -.-
I loved it back in the days of elementary school. I hate it now in the days of two hours of homework a night highschool. Combined with two hours of soccer practice. Plus dinner squeezed in there somewhere.
So my current schedule??
6:30-Wake up
7:45- Leave for school
8:30- School starts
3:30- School's released
4:00- Soccer practice beings
6:15- Soccer ends
7:00- Dinner and shower
8:00- Homework
And then bed whenever the latter is finished. Gah! It's a pile up! The class currently killing me is AP Language. It's a college level writing course that you think you're plenty prepared for until you take it.
Lets just say average scores in this class currently should be a 3 (The highest you can get is a 9).
A 3 is a D.
I'm currently holding onto a 4.0. So when papers are handed back with a 3 written on the top?! Yesterday we got back our first essay and I got what was basically equivilant to a 79%.
Which is considered good. Which is hard for me to deal with. Gahhh!
On the better side of it I have some pretty good classes. People Assisting the Community (PAC), is a favorite because it's really helping me get set up for college as well as do interesting things. Currently we're designing a 'living funeral' to go along with a book we're reading.
Child services- My focus program- is another favorite. I mean come on. Who doesn't love working with 4 and 5 year olds for two hours every other day? :]
And of course. BioChemistry. :] Call me crazy but it's a love. We just finished inorganic and are back on to organic, which I understand so well. Currently we're naming conbustion alkane reactions. Sound like fun??
All in all I'm a little stressed. Extremely busy. Hoping to post more when I get a chance?? Homecoming was last weekend and this weekend I'll be hitting the football game tomorrow and working at an auction on Saturday.
However no school tomorrow. I love 3 day weekends.

Back to school... FASHION EXTRA!
Haa. Couldn't resist. I am my mama's fashion designer. So on today's episode, I'll give you a peek into my wardrobe! :P
Tip number 1- If you're trying it on in the store and you have that 'eh..' moment once it's on. Do. Not. Buy. It. Trust me on this one. You can have the 'eh..' moment while it's still on the hanger, but if you experience it while the item is on, you don't love it. Therefore it is not worth your valuable money. (Or your mom's...) Otherwise here's what happens to those clothing items...
And they stay on that shelf!
Tip number 2- If it doesn't fit quite right, don't get it! If you want to buy it because you feel like it'll fit better in a few weeks when you lose those summer couch potato pounds, resist the urge. Uncomfy clothes are definitely not worth it. And if in those few weeks you do manage to lose those pounds, go get it then- when you deserve it!
Tip number 3- Is it really worth the money? And I mean this quite honestly. It's okay to splurge on items that you will wear repeatedly for more than one season. I ask my self 'Will I wear this for as many days as it is dollars?'. And in addition to this, look for something similar at a cheaper price.
My favorite stores? Forever XXI, Target, and Old Navy. Adorable clothes for ridiculously cheap prices.
Here's a few of my deals for back to school:
$22
$12
$15
$8
Oh. And one more little tip.. So I don't make myself sound so hypocritical. It is okay to buy something a little crazy and fun. Even if you know you'll look a bit ridiculous. That just makes it all the more tempting right?? But only do this oh so often!
When I saw the boots I couldn't resist.. despite that they really don't match anything.
But the satisfaction of wearing them around Party City today?? Priceless. :]

Boo.
I'm taking a break from all this boring school work! I have one more assignment but I really just have no motivation to finish it. Ha!
There's the first of four pages of my essay which is thankfully finished!
Sooo. Since it's my break I decided to do a back to school post! Yay! Today was Freshman Orientation day. We welcomed them wearing colorful 'Hello my name is...' t-shirts and then split off into groups with themes. My group's theme was.....
Wizardsss! I'm fairly sure those hats we wore provoked at least a few laughs from our quiet group of kiddos.
However tomorrow is my first official day of school. While I was always a child that loved school, once I started coming home with assignments that involved more than writing one page or connecting the dots my love faded. I still do enjoy it- especially the social aspect. And at the end of the year, I feel accomplished for what I achieved. However, the school year for me seems to be full of constant stress, procrastination, and lots of days spent miserably sick at school because I have classes I'm unable to miss.
So tomorrow I begin day one of my most rigorous year of highschool. I'm entering myself into a year of one AP class and 3 honors courses. But school supplies wise my mommy has prepared me well!
Okay. You can laugh a bit. I can't help it; i'm a child at heart! I love pulling out my cars notebook on the first day of school and walking into the classroom with a Go Diego Go backpack on. They're conversation starters! So as I head off to school tomorrow wearing an elementary school kids backpack on my back, remember something. Sometimes to get through all the stress of life you've got to be able to laugh a little. So add a funny keychain to your key ring! Don't be afraid to have a little fun!
