as a high school student.

When you throw up a little, sneeze a little, cough a little, and... nauseate all over the place (including vomit, dizziness, and headaches), have terrible cramps, and almost go blind, you may have somewhat of a hard time.

Ladies and Gentlemen, This is the time where school and life catch up to you all at the same time.

I missed four days of school, had plenty of tests, and homework packets. This is the part where my look on school goes a bit haywire. I get really behind, I miss lectures I should not have missed, and now I have no idea what is going on.

I took a trip to the doctor, I took a trip to the eye doctor, and sat at home.

Last week was really dumb.

I have some weird thing with my eyes. Its a cornea infection or something, I wasn't listening as well as I should have. I can't wear makeup or contacts for two months, and had to do drops in my eyeball for quite a bit. But who cares about that now. I had to buy some new glasses. They are probably funny on me. But I don't mind.

So that is them. Take a gander.

I am not sure what else there is to say.

I played the piano in sacrament today. It was a piece my piano teacher and I arranged. Parker, my little brother, was my page turner. He did a phenomenal job. He even reminded me where to slow down and where to speed up. He's adorable.

Having friends that are girls is a bit tough. I hate taking sides on arguments and I try my hardest to stay out, but it never works. I am sure it will eventually just die down and it will be a thing of the past. I love all of my friends so dearly, and I just like it better when we all get along.

My mother started a new "thing". She has this garbage bag. And while I am at school, anything that is not picked up or put away, goes into the garbage bag. I have to do tremendous jobs to get my things back, like I cleaned the whole kitchen, to get a sweatshirt. Dumb sweatshirt. Dumb garbage bag. One of my binders smeagled its way into the bag, and I cleaned the house all by myself on saturday, just to get it back. But I did get a four and a half hour nap before. That was nice.

Well I am really boring. So I am gonna go talk to my mom about my problems.

Seeya.
