♣ Jens and I are writing a book. It shall be amazing.
♣ I was going to Michigan for part of winter break. Now I’m not.
♣ I should undoubtedly be studying for chemistry right now.
♣ My ballet recital was less than perfect. But my friends and family still love me, anyway.
♣ I miss getting letters in the mail.
♣ I have finally found jeans that fit me properly. No more baggy-thighed bootcuts…I found some magical brand that offers a skinny bootcut…just what I needed, since, according to blue jeans manufacturers, my thighs are proportionally whacked out.
♣ I have discovered that, no matter how well you research and plan, sending iced cupcakes through the United States Postal Service may not turn out the way you want it to.
♣ I’m getting a new phone.
♣ I am coming to terms with the fact that I don’t get to see what’s happening behind the scenes in my life. And…I think that’s okay, because it forces a greater trust of God than knowing everything about what’s going on.
♣ I have one more day of the semester. I think I will spend the break cowriting books and filming pseudo documentaries. And watching lots of Christmas movies. And praying more. And maybe setting goals. I like goals.

I have…
118 hours to cram as many chemistry facts in my brain as possible
23 hours to get a dance perfect
6 hours to learn how to put fake eyelashes on
and
Approximately 2 hours before I break down and start crying because none of the above is happening.
Happy end of the semester, everyone!
EDIT: Typically, when I’m this stressed out about a class, I calculate the lowest grade I can make on the final and still pass. In this case, if I get a 55, I’ll still have a B. I’m slightly less stressed now.

**plays song by Daniel Powter**
I’m sick. I have a runny nose, a sore throat and I’m not even wanting to eat breakfast unless it’s chicken soup, which is just weird. I already missed one day of school this week ((I only go twice a week…)) because my family was out of town. As much as I hate to, I’m going to be missing most of this one, too. Oh, and the one class I’m going in for is chemistry, because I have a test…which I must make a good grade on, because I really want to raise my GPA to a 3.5 this semester, if at all possible ((it is…I just have to have a semester GPA of 3.7, which should be doable))…and I haven’t been able to study for much.
I have ten hours to cram in as many chem facts as humanly possible. And I think I’m going to have to cancel my planned State Fair day tomorrow in lieu of going to see a ballet for school…because it’s the only affordable one that a.) doesn’t suck and b.) doesn’t result in me turning in a late assignment. And I think I just used “in lieu of” improperly, but I’m leaving it.
It’s only 7:30 a.m. and I’m already dreading the next two days. Boo. I think I’ll go make some chicken soup. For breakfast. That’s right.
((as a side-note, I really am doing quite well and I’m really excited about some future plans and such…today is just not starting out to be a good one…it happens…))
