LONG TIME NO SEE
Sorry I haven't updated in forever, I still don't have a webcam, and life's just been insane.
I miss y'all~ I promise I'll be on more often now!
Well, I have been consumed by standardized testing, and preparing for it. I'm one of those people who has friends who get like fuckin 2330s on the SATs, so I sort of have high expectations (not nearly that high though). It's just so draining, seeing how you compare to the rest of the country, with percentiles and scaled scores. My english teacher recently tried to get us to stop freaking out about it, being the arrogant individual he is, by showing us this TERRIFYING movie of students trying to get into top schools. Well it sure as hell didn't HELP, it just freaked me out more. I hate it allllllllll- I have SATs, SAT IIs, APs and finals all in like 2 months. plus the directing thing which is still ongoing. I bet all juniors can relate/ all seniors who did it last year / etc. I know everyone wants to get into college blabhalbhalbh but why does it have to be so CHALLENGING? the activities charts for applications ask how many official awards you've won in high school. HOW MANY? I haven't won ANY. does that make be a sub par student?
It's probably not worth worrying about, but I really just can't help it. It's all around me, it's all I think about... aside from a few other things. Isn't that depressing?

Speaking of depressing, I've just had a horrible realization: I can no longer eat whatever I want and not become fat. Seriously, my entire life I've been totally underweight and needed to eat as much as humanly possible. I mean, I never really ate much, so it wasn't a lot of food, but I still never had to worry about eating too much. But approaching full adulthood, I am quickly losing my metabolism, and am no long the stick-thin girl I used to be. Now I'm not complaining- I don't mind having a little meat on my bones, but it just occurred to me that I am legitimately the least healthy person in existence (never exercise/eat boxes of nilla wafers daily) and at this rate will be like 300 pounds by next year. So in summary, I must learn to be a healthy person. OHNO
I considered maybe eating less but decided that wasn't an option. So instead, I've decided to exercise more! by:
1. walking home from school. (when its not too hot out- 90+, a 2 mile walk up a steep hill, I get to be selfish and get a ride/bus)
2. yoga classes?
3. biking EVERYWHERE (though that kinda sucks as I live in land of billions of hills)
4. swimming?
5. the.... GYM!?!?
6. actually doing stuff during P.E (wait NOPE)
7. Generally walking everywhere in the summer, but I tend to do that anyway
8. Jogging?
9. Tennis at night (I suck, but I really get a workout after it)

What do other (un-coordinated) people do to stay physically active? Let me know!

Also random: is anyone else totally depressed about Obama making that asshole comment and potentially completely screwing up his chances with Pennsylvania? IM SO SAD.

Anyway, thats about all I have to say. Except I'm sorry if my blog things are too me oriented- most people tend to discuss interesting *things* but I just talk about my life. OOpss
-tata!

I know exactly what you mean. I got friends who are juniors who are like freakin out over the SATs. That's why I'm glad I'll still have my sophmore year before I have to take them. Btw to stay in shape I just do something physical everyday, my choice is basketball.

p.s. I want that van in your profile pic.
