It wasn't my fault!
Not this time :P. Our phone/internet were shut off for a few days, there was some problem with the wires on our road. Totally not cool, so I apologize for my absence and lack of blogging insight ;).
Truth be told nothing too exciting has been going on lately. Maybe a personal problem here and there, but as far as that goes, I think I'm done. I love the boy to pieces, but he can't put me through this. Maybe he's right, I do need to move on. He just hasn't done that great of a job in allowing me to. That kind of makes me feel resentful. I don't know, it's complicated. I won't go into detail with it on here. I'd just like to get out and have some fun. Is that too much for a girl to ask? Sheesh :P.
Spring is approaching, I like it. I want all of the dirty, salty snow to melt into the ground. I want to see bright, vivacious green grass. I don't want my damp hair to freeze every morning I head out to start my saturn ion. I want warm weather, and by George I will get it! This week is going by at snail pace, even today, Wednesday. The middle of the week is usually nice, but I was exhausted for most of the day. I don't really have much to talk about, hopefully I come up with a better post soon :P. Sorry. I'm such a slacker lately.

Vanishing Act
Ah, I disappeared as always.
I truly am sorry I'm not a better, more up-to-date blogger. I just have things going on, and lately I've been struck by fatigue. I might be getting sick. Yuck. School has been brutal this week with tests, quizzes, you name it. I plan on making it out alive though, tomorrow's Friday :).
So aside from the boring stuff, some things this week have been enjoyable. Last night I spent the entirety of the evening watching the Answers Please finals. Our team didn't make it in, but I went along with my advisor and Zack to watch anyways. It was pretty fun, especially with Zack :P. The two of us went to preschool and so on together, so there aren't any awkward moments, we've known eachother forever. From watching we got to see how competitive these brainiacs are, and we hope to be in the competition ourselves next year. Basically, it was a nice time.
As of lately I've been spending alot of my time thinking towards the future, concerning the New Visions program. The medical field seems fascinating. I know if I continue at my school only next year, it won't be all that productive. Most of the seniors now fill their days with studyhalls or meaningless electives. I want to prepare myself for college, and the materials at New Visions would do that. They actually offer an Honors English class, whereas my school doesn't even have college credited courses. I think there may be one for math, but I've always been behind in that subject. Lately I'm catching on though, which is impressive. I want to be something when I leave this town. I don't want to be trapped working 9-5 jobs, stuggling with my bills. I want to be learning and contributing to society, in one way or another. I would love to write books, and I would be thrilled if my words engulfed people, shook up their thoughts. But I can't rely solely on the hope that I can become some phenomonal writer. I need to stabilze myself too, and give myself a strong place to stand in case my dreams fall through. At the same time I find the field to be incredibly interesting, with a huge variety of career choices. I haven't had a whole lot of confidence in my intelligence or ability to work "smart people" jobs while growing up in a small rural town. That's why I'm so interested in a unique opportunity like this.. It would just give me a whole new set of options for my future, and I sure do like my options.

weekend update
Snikeyz!.
I relapsed back into awful updating, I'm sorry :(. The past couple of days have been moderately busy, and I've been lazy, of course. Friday night consisted of a mall trip with Amanda and Julie, then over to Jenna's with them for a movie night. We saw REPO - the Genetic Opera again, because Jenna hadn't gotten to see it since she was sick all week. It gets better the more you watch it, hahah :). Amanda and Julie passed out before ten, how lame. So the two of us watched Hot Rod, pretty hilarious, and went to sleep in her living room. She has the cutest chihuahuas( if that's even how you spell it). The next morning I took Julie home and spent the rest of my day at home, chilling with myself. I've been doing alot of that lately it seems-- "me time" :P. I'm not really going to complain though, I'm getting used to it. Plus it has perks, like I've been reading more, I finished 'I am the Messenger'. Such an incredible book, I highly sugggest it along with Zusak's other famous novel, The Book Theif. His writing style is phenomonal, check those books out, I command you :P.
So last night was pretty fun too. Jenna brought me to the bowling alley to watch Amanda's boyfriend Jeff play a gig with his brother's band. Once we arrived though, Jeff was like "Where is she? Is she hiding on me?" We had no idea what he was talking about, so we just laughed until we realized he meant Amanda. Jenna thought Amanda was getting a ride with Jeff, hahaha. But apparently we were supposed to pick her up on our way. Oops :P. So we drove all the way back to our town, got her, and drove back to the alley. It was a nice night, we basically just sat at a round table in the back talking amongst ourselves and laughing at this drunken woman. She resembled some snow bunny, white puffy vest and a fleece headband as her attire, boogeying down to Good Charlotte covers :P. It was amusing to say the least. We left for home around midnight and I spent the right of my night and today at home, having more me time :P. Tonight I actually went through these reference books my parents got suckered into buying for me years ago by some college salesperson. Fascinating stuff, actually. I keep flipping through the pages learning new things. There's something nice about learning for yourself, outside of the school cirriculum. I find neurology to be really interesting, I think I want to read more about it. There's this New Visions program next year that sounds so much better than being stuck here, inside this school. Instead I'd be taking actual honors classes my school doesn't offer, and be working in hospitals and visiting a whole lot of cool places. But I've never really given much thought to medical careers. I've always wanted to write, but lately I've been wondering if that's really all I should work towards. What if I can't write like Markus Zusak? What if it backfires? But then again if I get all focused on something like neurology, just to discover it's really not my thing, I might lose my creativity and love for words. Then I'll be left starting from scratch. I don't know, I'm rambling :P. These are just things I need to think about.
ps. Thanks to everone for the prom fundraising suggestions :). You guys gave me good ideas to think about, I appreciate it.
