Subject: what a week......and its only tuesday- ughhh.
okay, so u know when you get a test and you look at the first couple of questions and u say to urself, okay i dont know any of these so i'll just keep looking until i find one that i know the answer to?


so then, u keep on looking, and u look and look and look and look and u just keep on turning those test pages until u turn the last one and all u see is the desk thats underneath the test packet and u never find any questions that u know the answer to? yeah. thats pretty much the story of my 7th period yesterday. i studied for days for my euro test, in the very "danielle" fashion that i study in, but rather than going into this test saying to myself, i know this stuff, im going to ace it, i went into this one, not only guessing or assuming, but actually KNOWING that i was going to do extremely poorly on it. just as every ap euro student has before me and how every ap euro student will after me, i got that test, looked at it, and within that instant got knots in my stomach. ive never taken any test like that before, and although i was told by everyone that "all the kids get really crappy grades the first time around", its still very discouraging to me to know that i studied for all the time to come into a class room and feel like i know nothing. i left half of the first page blank. ive never done that. anyway, im just anticipating getting it back and knowing what it feels like to fail, and no, im not being the typicial edgemonter who says she failed and gets a b, im saying i failed and honestly, at my best, i got a d...in fact, i would be satisfied with a d, thats how bad it was.

the weather is slowly starting to turn colder and im slowing feeling the presence of the fall. it was 45 degrees when i woke up this morning- thats really really really cold. i miss the warm weather. i dont particularly care for this "brisk" air that comes along with the seasonal changes that fall brings. give me snow or give me the beach, i hate when weather does this neither here nor there stuff. its like, pick one, summer or winter. spring and fall are always sort of "transition stages" for me, i barely see them as seasons.

the whole school routine and feeling is starting to kick in again. after going to classes for a while and having to wake up early every day, i start to feel groggy and disgusting, and just...tired of the hum-drum boring same day that just seems to repeat itself over and over again. i dont even feel like getting dressed in the morning, i just feel like putting on sweatpants and a sweatshirt and bringing a big fluffy blanket with me to school. and for those of u that know me, i dont even like sweatpants. the weekends seem to get shorter each time they roll around, and with every weekend the weeks seem to stretch out longer than the one that preceded it.



this long weekend is anticipated and much needed in my opinion. i have to babysit on saturday night which im not terribly thrilled about. babysitting, although its easy money, isnt my favorite thing to do- not like i have better plans though, right? i guess itll provide time for me to do all my homework and clear out my schedule for sunday and monday which will be spent in fire island closing up the house for the winter. columbus day weekend always makes me sad in that sense, everyone flocks to the beach for one last hurrah, and then on that monday they lock up, leave and dont come back until the spring. its almost like we all just put the summers away in a little box in an attic, if that analogy made any sense at all. the bright side to this though is i get to see all my friends again this weekend, including nick, FINALLY. i havent seen that kid for a month and a half and i cant wait.



i have to go cook for italian---spaghetti con broccoili, olio ed aglio (spaghetti with broccoli in a garlic and olive oil sauce), nothin like carbs to make u happy right??
