I'm sitting here in the computer lab at our school watching the UMD March Madness game. I really loathe basketball but it's so much more fun than sitting in Journalism class. I'm struggling with my Inner School-Skipping Demons right now. I want to make it through a whole week without trying to leave early. I have confidence; I can do it!
Now that we're through with that little pep talk, I think I might meet up with some friends after school to catch the tail-end of the game or to celebrate if Maryland wins. If not then I'll be going home because I don't really give a rat's ass anyway.
My mom is supposed to be booking us some sort of vacation for over spring break. If she can get Mexico this late in the game then I'm down with that...if not then it looks like we might end up in Florida, a state which I have affectionately named The [Arm]Pit of America. I just yearn to lay my body on a beach somewhere and listen to the ocean and bake myself. Mmm, skin cancer anyone?

Sometimes I just wish that I had a valve in my head that I could turn on and it would leak out all of my thoughts so they wouldn't clutter up my brain so much. I'm in this rare mood, a mood that I know I'm overanalyzing but I'm so occupied by this one subject that I'm driving myself insane. I can't stand to be like this, strung so tightly that I just wish all of the thought matter in my head would explode onto a piece of paper and melt off onto the floor. The problem is that I know I'm doing it to myself, and I'm letting my paranoia get to me. I hate second-guessing people but some little rumor worm has wriggled his way into my ear and I can't seem to ignore him. WHY do I have to think so much, all the time? Go, go, go....it's like my brain never STOPS. I think part of it right now might be loneliness. My parents are in Vegas and my aunt's staying with me, but tonight she's out with some guy and it's midnight and I'm here by myself. NOT A GOOD COMBINATION. I think I should just go to bed and try to stop worrying about something I can't control. Sounds easy enough, right?

I guess I lied when I said I would be better about posting here. Honestly, I'm sorry. It's likely that no one even reads this anymore so I don't know why I'm worried about it. Life has been going well. In February I missed eight days of school to participate in
Presidential Classroom, then I consequently came down with pneumonia. In short, I'm still feeling the backlash of that long absence.
I'm still working at Outback, and busting my ass for those people. I've been working there for just about five months now and I still love it. I worked the last three days in a row, which is draining. I've also trained three new girls and will be training another one tomorrow. Joy. I don't know why I complain so much because I love [most] of the people that I work with and overall it's a great atmosphere. Plus the food rocks, so no complaints there.
I've also started modeling school with Barbizon. I know that might sound like a complete cop-out but while I was accepted into the school, I was also accepted into their Petite placement division, which means after my last class in July, I'll start getting print work in my area. I'm looking forward to that but I also feel like I don't
want this as much as someone else might and therefore I feel undeserving of the opportunity, I guess. I don't know, it's a weird feeling.
I turned 17 on February 24th. It was a pretty laid-back birthday, except my best friend threw me a surprise dinner party at DuClaw Brewing Company. There were probably 15-20 people there and we had a good time. Yay for me!
For now, that's all. One of my blogger-friends pointed out to me that I hardly blog anymore so I really will do this every chance I get.

So I've been gone for a while. But not in that "gone" sort of way, not like I've been in rehab or a mental institution or anything. I've just been busy working, schooling, shopping. You know, that sort of thing. But I promise to be better about this. It would be a New Year's Resolution if it was still January [I'm a firm believer that you can't make a valid NYR after January 31st.]. A lot of people in my circle of friends have now started their own blogs at Xanga or livejournal. Forget that. I'm no sell-out. I was doing this before it was cool. Happy 1-year bloggiversary to me!

So I leave tomorrow morning for Maine for the holiday. I have to get up at the ass-crack of dawn so I can drive to Dulles airport with my madre. Work has been decent even though, MOTHEREFFER, I just remembered that I didn't pick up my tipshare from last night when I left work a few hours ago. Grr to me for being flighty.
My friend DJ is home from college which is funny because it's only like an hour away but he hasn't been home since September. What a goober. He came up to Outback tonight to see me and I was really happy. We had been dead all night and we got a rush just as he showed up. I was hoping to see him when I got off work but we couldn't get a hold of him.
Not much going on other than that. Sunday was Francine's birthday so her ex-boyfriend/sometimes-boyfriend and I conspired and threw her a surprise party. It was hysterical because she bought an entire new outfit, from a pink fedora, a pink and black purse to a pink and black halter, because she thought we were going out on the town to Annapolis. We were "picking Danny up" from his house and we walked into the basement and everyone yelled surprise. It was priceless, I really thought she was going to cry. Good stuff.
Anyway, as I mentioned before, I have to get up mega-early, so I'm gonna finish packing and then I'm off to bed! Happy holidays!

Wow, I'm surprised I even have time to breathe. Since I started working, my weeks have been filled and it's really hard to make time for anything else. Now that the holidays are coming I don't know how I'll be able to run around.
Surprisingly, with all this activity, I haven't been at all stressed out. I got a 4.00 on my report card, with 2 B's [physics and math] because my AP classes elevate the GPA. I also received my Presidential Classroom acceptance packet in the mail yesterday, which I'm really excited about.
The only thing bothering me is my face, which has been incredibly broken out lately. Actually, I'm waiting for my mother and we're going to my dermatologist in Annapolis to talk to him. I've taken every medication possible and now the only options are Accutane, which I am totally against, and the Pill, which will cause me to have to have an internal. WOO FREAKIN' HOO y'all! I'll keep you updated.
P.S. As you can tell by my previous post, I'm not having any shortage of attention from guys....=)

If I was legal, I'd be getting a lot of action. I just want you to know that.
