YAY FOR GOOD THINGS.

So this has been one heck of a two weeks. I haven't posted cause I'm a jerk and I think more about my sleep than anyone reading this. ;) but anyway. I went to the doctor, I had the three show nights of Annie, and now I'm starting a new chapter in life. That's really cheesy, but there it is.

1. THE DOCTOR.
- I went to the doctor before 6th period ended. When I was leaving lots of people said bye. I was like, "Guys, I'm not moving! I'll be back." My friend Sarah told me to let her know when I was on my way back to school (for rehearsal, I was NOT missing that no matter what. Shows my stellar dedication.) and what the doctor said. Nice to know your presence will be missed. So I got there with my list of all my ailments and the doctor gave me a thorough examination. She did an x-ray of my stomach because she felt something hard in there (wearing a hospital gown was not fun but I kept it!) and she sent me to get some blood drawn. Afterwards, I got sent back to my exam room to wait for my results.
It took my doctor forever to get back which concerned me. She eventually returned and told me basically that I needed to "get cleaned out". So glad it's nothing more than that! I got my blood results a week later. I have very low Vitamin D, which explains my hair falling out, mood swings, muscle pain, and fatigue. I also lack Vitamin B12 which is why I have low metabolism, low energy, and I don't lose weight. & I'm borderline anemic, which explains fatigue as well. When the norm for Vitamin D pills is 200-300mg, I'm on 50,000! Per pill! I take two once a week (happens to be today), and Vitamin B12 every day. So I should be feeling better in 2-3 months :D so happy! They put me on nausea pills but they aren't working :/ but I'll keep praying!

2. ANNIE.
I played the character of an elderly hobo in our school's production of Annie this year :) I had so much fun with my friends doing the show! Although rehearsals weren't fun when they got later and later, and especially since I was feeling so terrible, but the musical turned out great! I got a cane to support my character and I wore old-age makeup! We had children in the show playing orphans and I love those kids so much! The time went by so fast but I really got to know them :) sometimes all kids want is someone to listen to everything they have to say. Kids say some pretty hilarious, insightful, deep things sometimes. I'm really gonna miss those little nuggets. And Chandler, this middle schooler that my best friend Bonnie introduced me to. I consider her a sister now, we've been through so much together in just a few months <3 the cast dinner after the last show was too much fun, I lost my voice that night and it's been going out since then..

3. NEW ME.
I have to be more secure within myself. I have to stop worrying about what people think, only God's opinion matters anyway! Also, I need to start public speaking about Jesus and the dreams and visions He's given me. I know it's all in His timing, but it's been on my heart lately to tell the whole world about it! I spoke with Bonnie's youth pastor's wife who said we could pray about it together and go get coffee or something & get to know each other better :) I love meeting new people and she is very nice! I'm gonna start exercising too, I need to get this weight off me. It would make clothes shopping easier too! I just need to work on me right now, & stop trying so dang hard to make everyone else happy. That's the plan, but we'll see what happens!

Well that was a long post. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Peace!

BUSY BUSY ME.

So break is over. Sad day. I didn't get much of a break because I had basketball crap to do almost every day of the WHOLE TWO WEEKS. Now I need some more sleep, and to get back into the swing of things.

I have more early mornings for basketball practices, then late nights for musical. I'm in Annie, & we have rehearsals from 4-7pm every day this week, then next week will be 4-9 :( almost makes me not wanna be in it, especially since it might end up as crap. But I have to go anyway. I don't know how I'm gonna be getting my homework done. I have AP Psychology this semester, in addition to my APUSH, and my AP English 3 courses. I never even signed up for AP Psych; I just got shoved into it! AHHHH. I want to get out of there, especially since it's alllll the way in the other building. I'll see if there's anything else available in the 5th period slot. Gah.

When musical ends (we perform on January 12/13/14th) then I'll still have basketball stuff. Our last game is on February 28th I think, then we're in off-season. No more late games & hopefully no more early mornings either! I mean, I'm only the manager & I still have to do all this crap! Then I'll be studying for the APUSH exam & the AP English 3 exam in May. I hope I pass this year, cause I haven't the past two years I've taken the history one.

Speaking of history, I'm up to a 63 in APUSH! Normally I would cry at seeing a grade like that on my record, but I previously had a 53 in the class. I went up a whole ten points because I got a 65 on my fall semester exam. :) that's the highest grade I've ever gotten on any of her tests! Now I have to average pass this semester so I can get full credit. I need to do the reviews & do retesting when I don't pass the tests! I really need to step it up in school. Truthfully, I could be an A student, but I have quite the awful work ethic. Sigh.

Alrighty. It is now 9:42pm Tuesday night. I should go to bed, early morning tomorrow! To my readers, I hope you guys had a good day today & that you have a better one tomorrow :)

Sleep tight!
