HOMECOMING?.. WAIT, NEVER MIND.

     

     
        So school's going well! My only challenging class is Pre-Calculus, I hate it. My grade's been dropping, gotta pick it back up! Rehearsal is going well. I get to be a hippie-stoner as the Apothecary in Romeo & Juliet! Did I say that last time? Oh well if I did. I'm so excited for this production. But I'm even more excited for Seussical!
       People have been really irritating me this week. I spent a lot of time crying. My two best friends both decided to go to Homecoming with someone else after previously saying they weren't going at all, so that really hurt. & this one girl at school said I wouldn't get accepted into Harvard. It made me super upset. Like, how dare you say I won't get accepted when you're too stupid to get accepted anywhere? I choose to think positively, since I tend to think the worst about everything, & believe I will get in. Harvard has been in my heart as long as I can remember, so I know God has a say in this. I'll work hard in school and let Him do His part. I've been feeling a bit lonely these days. On the bright side, people have still been saying I look thinner, even though I haven't been working out (but they don't know that). I guess because I don't always eat breakfast/dinner, so I haven't put on any weight. Whoo! Just gotta keep it up, and keep not snacking like I used to, cause I've been doing well with that. But anyway.
       The guy I wanted to go to Homecoming with asked another girl. The other guy isn't going at all, but he might go to prom, and I hope he asks me :) I've been seeing girls get asked to Homecoming in the sweetest, most creative ways the past few weeks. It's made me feel pretty sad. I know I have lots of time for relationships, but I'm 17. Excuse me for wanting one now. It's just part of being a teenager. So instead, on Homecoming night, I'm going over to a new friend's house with some other friends to hang out! They think I'm funny and cool, so they invited me over! Glad to have people who seem to appreciate me, even though I haven't even met two of them yet.
       Another thing I've been thinking about: sharing faith on social media. I think people should be free to discuss or express their faith however much they want. My Muslim friends tweet about Allah, my atheist friends tweet about not believing in God, so I should be able to tweet about Jesus, shouldn't I? I don't judge them on their faith or lack thereof. But some people actually state how they hate when people tweet about religious matters. I think, if you don't like me tweeting about my Savior, then unfollow me, unfriend me, whatever. Won't hurt my feelings. I'd rather have my God forever than have you as a temporary friend any day.

Happy almost-October!
