I have to leave for class soon. I leave 20 mins early from the library. Which is pointless. Whatever. I'm weird about always having to have the same exact seat in my classes. I got to religion uber early yesterday and this girl had already taken my seat. >.< I swear, they're all out for me. Not cool.

I want to go to Caribou and talk. Not to myself, with someone. Not with someone I usually talk to either. I want something different. I want sleep. I want motivation. I want organization (?? I don't know either) I want to....I don't know. I want to eat without feeling like I should go puke. I want to be hungry and not worry about how much I've already eaten. I want to do homework and not have it take me two hours when it really only needs 30 mins.

It's not worth it, really. That's not a healthy thought, but I know that's how I look at it. I don't even know why I'm doing this.

I've discovered that the way I think is not normal.

All is folks that.

I just don't care anymore.
That's not a good thing.

Meeeh. I brought Harry Potter today. He's my friend. He's alot better than mr. I write boring books about stupid things that no one will ever care about.

That is all.

I miss free time.
I miss having time to organize my shit.

Hunger
World forests was canceled today. Pretty cool that I get some time off, but sucky that I came all the way down here and woke up fucking early just to sit in the library.

More good news! I have a week more to read for world forests now. That's awesome. Quite. I'm still going to try to finish it for Thursday, just to keep up with my schedule, but if I don't it won't be the end of the world. And I get Friday off!

It only sucks that I couldn't have gotten this break later in the quarter when I'm actually swamped with homework. Oh well. Any break is okay with me.

Been uber frustrated lately. For many reasons. My mother is being my mother again, which you all hopefully know what that means. I'm only in my third week of school while everyone else is getting ready for finals and I know the work is just going to pile on anytime now.

I have to start looking for another job soon. Still be at the tree on weekends just because. I was thinking maybe Yardhouse because Jorie's there and possibly the Kimis, but I don't really want to work with my sister. Too much tension in the house that I don't want to bring to work. Which sucks. If Kimis works there, I'll miss out on a whole bunch of fun times and then Jorie and Kimis will be friends with my sister and the world will be even weirder. I don't like weird.

Once again, oh well. Accept and move on. That's life.

If anyone knows of a job that'll pay me uber money, tell me. That'd be quite awesome, thanks. :-)

I've been rethinking things recently. Decisions I've made and shit. And yeah, I realized how horrible I feel because of them. No one's fault but mine, but I need to refocus.

Focus on school and work. I need money and I need to do homework. I need to raise my GPA to atleast a 3.5. Right now it's at 3.35. So I need to get my butt in motion.

It's tough. I know it's important to get money and to get good grades, but I also think it's important to have fun. You know? I don't want to become one of those people who focus all on school and lose sight of their lives. That would not be good. What's the point of life if you're not enjoying yourself?

I don't know. I don't even know what I'm fucking doing anymore.

I'm proud of myself though. I've thought things over and I'm much more firm in my beliefs and such. I don't want to get drunk. I just don't want to do it. Plus, nothing is more fun than watching and talking to drunk people. It's true.

I don't think I'm better than anyone, I promise. I just don't want to do it.

Maybe I'll apply at the library. They close no later than 9 every night, 5 on Sundays. That means I would still have a social life sometimes. Just not during the day, which kind of sucks.

I don't knoooow. So fucking hungry. Grrrrargh. Can't eat until 11:50 though. Sad, I know.

Mmmm...classstime. Woo boredom.
Bye folks.

88% on my history paper!

Woooo!!!!!!

That means I am now getting a 77% in history, fools.

7 freaking 7! Hopefully that'll be a B soon.

Oh man oh man. I'd be okay with a C. Much better than that 56% I had earlier. Eeeps.

So...you probably don't want to read this. You can probably guess what I'm going to talk about here. I don't care though.

Fuck you! Haha!

That's what I learned this weekend. It doesn't matter. You can't change people. You can mourn over broken promises of friendship, but in the end you can't make the other person see it.

That probably doesn't make any sense at all.

Of course I miss it. Of course I blame myself. I still feel like a piece of worthless shit about it. But what can I do? Accept...move on....accept...move on....

It's what we do! It's what we're designed to do. I got through a quarter of school with just a boyfriend and one friend. I can get through ten more like that.

And I still have the Tree. As corny as that sounds, no matter how lonely it gets, I can go to the Tree and feel like I'm a part of something.

In actuality, I'm just struggling to be optimistic about this situation. Pretend not to care...and I eventually won't. Right? Right!

Optimism.

I miss how things used to be.

I hate that things had to change.

I miss it.

But I can't bring it back.

So that's that!

Life goes on. Tomorrow I will take the train. I will walk down Adams to Wells. I will wait for the El. And I will go to class. And life will go on.

I'm happy that it does, though. I mean....life sucks...nothing new. But it goes on. Now, that sounds good to me at this point in time.

I'll move on and I'll never really be happy, but I might be content for atleast an hour a day. And I'll smile. And I'll laugh at bad jokes and tell bad jokes. I'll be left out and I'll leave people out. People will break my heart and I'll break people's hearts. And we'll all look back on it one day and smile.

I think I might be having a nervous breakdown.

Ok...bye... wooooooo

Blech
Stupid fights are just so....stupid.

Hopefully they'll stop.

I'm just exhausted. Too much of me is going in too many directions. It's really not working.

my parents haven't paid my tuition yet. Meaning I still can't sign up for classes. I hate this.

I had this crazy dream when I fell asleep at the library the other day. I think it basically sums up how I feel about everything going on right now. I wrote it in my Lil' Fat Notebook, so I'll type it up here later.

I was thinking of writing a story or making a picture out of it. Picture would be easier, but I don't know exactly how it would work....hmmm... We shall see.

Friday: SLEEP.

Oh! I need to request a day off to see the play! I'm working Thursday...

Maybe I can open 'til 6 on Friday. But I need to get tickets! I'll call Sandy tomorrow and see about that. I don't want it to end up like Story Theatre where we waited outside for an hour waiting for bloody tickets.

Work sucked today. You'd think that if people heard fire alarms going off, they'd evacuate the building, right?

Um, no. Apparantly finished the movie they paid a whole SIX DOLLARS on is more more important than their lives. And Oh no! Is it cold out?! Okay, when the fire consumes you, let's see who's cold. That's right.

I got to wear my cool sweater though. Everyone has to see it. It's all STRIPEY!

Stress is no fun. And now I'm sick, but I have no time to be sick! So that doesn't work. I shall will myself not to be sick. Hmmmm...

I hate how only one of my teachers puts grades up on blackboard.
I'm getting a 27%. Wooo.

Actually, it's because he has all the assignments in there and we havent turned all them in yet. So yeah. I got all A's and B's so far. With the exception of one test. 57%. Oops. I hope I did well on my paper. I felt like I was just saying the same thing over and over again, but in different words. I didn't even start it till 1am. I don't know. I need to get atleast a B in there. With extra credit, right now I'm getting a 70%. Let's see...If I get an....

A my grade will be 81%
B- 77%
C- 73%
D- 69.9%

Hoping for a B. Hoping. praying. I NEED that B. A would make me weep with joy.

Knowing me, I'll get that D. >.<

What about DePaul makes me such a failure?????!!?!?!?!
In History atleast.

Ok, well my throat is significantly swollen and my sinuses are trying to kill me, so I go to die now.

I need to stop sucking at life.

That is all.

Sniff.

Not looking forward to school. Not looking forward to this week. Feeling sick, so that's no fun. I swear, I'm done with school.

I think I'm going to change my major. To media arts. I have to take drawing classes though. And if you know me, you know my drawing abilities are slim to none.

Oh well. We shall see. I don't have to officially decide until after 1st quarter next year.

Good news: I can finish everything by the end of my junior year. 18 classes for media arts and 6 more if I minor in english. Most media art people minor in communication. I really don't want to. Communications doesn't really enthrall me. But what can you do with a media arts major and english minor?

I don't know. We shall see, friends.

It's pathetic. The times I'm most pissed at myself are when other people are down and I feel that I can't do anything about it. And I feel I even slightly caused it. I don't know, I need to remove my heart.

Replace it with cheesecake!

On a happier note:

Always look on the bright side of death!
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,
You'll see it's all a show,
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you!

Today was possibly one of the most frustrating, tiring days ever.

I just want to sleep. That is all.

I think I was being moody to Ryan on the phone. I feel bad now.

Today my mom told me how my bird died that she replaced when I was in 4th grade.

My parents set off these lice bombs to kill all the lice in the house, because everybody had it really bad. We then went to Pennslyvania for a week.

They forgot to get the bird out of the house. My mom, knowing it wouldn't survive, made all us kids wait in the car when we got home. She went upstairs and that found my bird, Daisy May, had exploded. She was "all over my room, stuck to the walls". My mom cleaned her up before I got a chance to go back in the house and went out and bought a new one.

I kept that bird for another year. I LOVED that bird, but I never understood why it was all of a sudden acting so mean towards me. I feel so stupid for loving a bird that wasn't even mine. I'm so fucking blind. I was back then and I am now.

I want things to stay the same soo badly that I don't even notice when it's something completly different.

And that bascially describes how I feel about everything right about now.

Edit:: The more I look at my class schedule, the more I'm dreading it. I have to take the 5:00 train. And that's not going to be fun. I don't know. It's a bad schedule. The classes I'm taking are stupid. I don't know why I thought it was a good idea. I fucking quit. I can't do it. nope.

I need to talk to someone. I'm driving myself crazy. Not just school. Everything. Where is everybody right now?

Edit 2:: I've come to the conclusion that I shouldn't be complaining. Nothing's that bad. Right? Right. Mmmkay.

More dreams last night. Woop.

I went back to VHHS to visit the theatre and there was this play going on and everybody was acting mad at me because I was in it and missed all the rehearsals. I tried to tell them that I graduated, but Melanie was there working tech. I went to the grid to talk to Phelan and Melanie, but my shoe fell off and Phelan told me that I was the servent girl in the play and I had this whole crazy monologue that I had to memorize. The play started and it was in Victorian times and I was on stage, but I didn't have time to get off. So I had to pretend I knew what I was doing. The play was something about kids dying. Then this whole scene was going on behind a closed door and I didn't get how the audience would see it. I finally snuck off stage and the scene ended. Then Matt N. ran back and yelled at me for missing my cue, which was this crazy piano thing I had to play. I was trying to practice it, but I just didn't get it.

Aaannnnndddddd.....

I forget the whole thing, but at one point these two girls wanted to to do something mean, so they moved these rocks around in a river. I walked back after they had done it and they were crying because the rocks had never been moved before then and they ruined the beauty of the river. I remember her mentioning the small streams that had run between the cracks of the rocks. And now the stream was all murky because they kicked up all the moss when they moved the rocks.And to make it worse, it was at the beginning of the river so they destroyed the flow of the entire river.

I'm being a jerk and copying Jorie and writing about my dream, fool.

It's kind of a mix between Wicked and Cinderella, except I'm almost like the servent of Cinderella. Everyone else is really ugly, even Cinderella and they're all wearing '80s style poofy dresses. I'm behind the concession stand at work and the bad witch comes up to me and gives me a pretty dress, all classy and modern and white, and I put it on and she tries to convince me to try to beat Cinderella so the prince will take me, even though I've already seen Wicked and know that the bad witch is going to get the guy. In this case, she's really ugly and can't sing but I figure everything's going to work out in the end so she has to end up pretty and nice. She then gives me Cinderella's box of stuff for the ball and tells me to destroy it all so that I can be the queen, but I refuse to do it because I knew I wouldn't get it and I didn't want the witch to win. So I sat on the box and the witch kept throwing things at me to try to get me off and to let her destroy everything in the box, but I wouldnt let her. Cinderella came and she was uglier then before, but I gave her the box and went to find the guys and they were all practicing their dancing. A few of them saw me watching and invited me to join them, but I forgot the dance so I ran away.

The second one we were on vacation somewhere and in the middle of the night we snuck out and broke into an empty vacation house. We were hanging out and everybody was relaxed but I was freaking out because I was sure that we would get caught. Then I pierced my lip and my nose, but nobody I talked to noticed it and when I pointed it out, they pretended not to hear me. I then tried to pierce Ryan's lip and I make too big of a hole.

That is all.
