today: running, rummage, and sycophantness

yeah we did a 5x5x5 workout today.... ag(ony). no water + heat + seeing spots on the way back = fun????
rummage sale twice today, both times ehhh on the fun scale. first time: picked up some cool scarves and some (teehee) funny lookin' red/white sweater-stocking-sock-boots that megan totally made me take. they're funny. (picture to come...)
2nd time, J and A were being sort of stupid acting, like laughing at people and ignoring other people and generally being annoying. so yeah. and later, J made this huge deal about trying to get me not to go to precamp 2mrw + thurs. which i am. after talking to about 50 people (more like 7, lol) i decided to take... drumroll please... BOTH instruments to camp tomorrow, b/c i still need to talk to sutton and people about what i'm actually going to do. per se. QED. etc.
and finally I emailed mrs foyle about presenting my thing anyway. *cross fingers*

SO TIREDly yours,

ps: and OH! J and A brought up V... again. why can't they just let that be?? it's not like i'm still in love with the guy, but its not nice to call people gay when they're obviously not. but if i deny that, they'll think i like him. AG. freaking immature, in my opinion.

...and i was reckoned. by 2%.

yes folks that's right. i failed by 2%!!!!!! ag. plus i cried in the library, to my utter embarrassment, but i totally couldn't help it. aggg.
so i'm going to try to persuade mrs foyle (i think it was her) to let me present my thing anyway, b/c if i do it'd raise my grade enough to pass.
i think.
so yeah. then we ran - first official xc practice! - and i totally had NO ENERGY at all. i'd eaten, like, cereal and a banana and a hershey kiss before that. so i was pretty much starving. >:P
deep-dish pizza for dinner tho, which was good but now i'm swollen like a pregnant puffer fish.

disgustedly yours,

the day of reckoning has arrived

reckoning is such a funny word. anyway, yeah, the day has come to test our knowledge on the lovely subject of health. yippee. the testout's in 3 hrs, 15 mins, so i have about 3 hours to review. AG. if i dont pass i'm going to be so royally PISSED. plus i missed signup for segment 2... apparently it starts TODAY. grr. and i'll probably miss practice, and idk if i can go tomorrow b/c me and my mom might go *shopping*. yay :)
ok i'm outie.

early fall vibes

yes, it may only be august, but today i am definitely feeling a fall vibe, seeing as it's about 65 degrees, cloudy, and drizzly. it just has that distinct fall scent, you know?
anyway, all that fall-ness has gotten me thinking a lot about my fall wardrobe. one thing i'm definitely going to try to grab are these minnetonka boots:
other than those, i'm looking out for a cute-but-cheap pair of plain black flat riding boots... it's looking pretty much impossible to find a pair under $150! ag. the pain of being pretty much broke. on the flip side of the shoe story, i absolutely love these booties at forever 21...
yeah, these are about $25. a bit more on my side of the budget spectrum (i.e., one that doesn't exist, pre se).
ok well i've got to run, this was technically a break from the tedium of studying for the health testout - tomorrow! (plus, tomorrow's the first official Xc practice and i haven't run in 3 days... *sigh*)

~ r

oh, the despair...

...of not having a job. or the money that comes from the job, anyway. *sigh* i have a feeling that if i had enough money, i could get everything i wanted, and then i could fully cultivate my personal style... ag. the stress is killing me! (oh, plus band camp + health + yg). yeah. AND i'm trying to decide on my fall hair cut... pressure!
my alarm didn't go off this morning, so i missed the run... but K and i are going to run after the YG olympics thing (woohoo...?) oh well. at any rate, back to the project.

long, brutal day ahead of me...

...although some of the brutal is behind me now - the 8 peach mtns we did, plus we took the long way back.
in a word, OW.
so now i'm sitting here thinking about lunch - i'm looking for yogurt of some kind - after which i'll buckle down to either:
A. health project
B. cleaning the bathroom
C. vacuuming my room
or D. hitting the beach again
all those things need to get done today, before i hit briarwood mall with C. hellooo, h&m and f21! i'm so happy. finally, shopping!
ok, well i can't be any longer on here - i have to find a shirt to throw on (which will be hard - most of my stuff's in the laundry. sigh.)
toodles,

hanging in there...

"there" being the hell that is my health project/study time. AG. i am getting SO SICK of reading about tobacco marketing campaigns and the seemingly millions of laws and regulations made against very specific areas of tobacco ads. i seriously need a smoke. haha, not really. not at all, actually - that's totally disgusting and stupid and flat out gross. but anyway, i counteracted the sheer boredom by watching the last 2 episodes of BNTM and visiting M. we finalized this friday's plans for the super summer blowout-ish thing, and confirmed that she can't go shopping with me & C tomorrow... :( yeah, we're hitting the briarwood mall tomorrow (opting out of youth group - darn, we'll miss the big 'Sign Up For Stuff You Really Don't Want To Do!' shindig. i'm sure we'll survive somehow). i'm going to get a start for my BTS wardrobe... er, fall wardrobe actually. sounds much happier.
i also had a self-shoot today, even though it totally didn't really work at all. here's my product...

so far, i haven't had a chance to run, but i might. plus there's peach mtns tomorrow... yay, right? arrivederci!
