Uh, I guess I'm a Weatherman (er, girl) again
This is going to be brief....I was just wondering if anyone knew why I was demoted to Level 1 status again ? Is this just a bug, or is there a legitimate reason?? I sure hope it'll straighten itself out...I was almost to Level 15! I can't take being at Level 1 again!! NOOO! ![]()
Ok sorry. I'll try to get a hold of myself. *sniff* *sniff*
You watch that??!
Finally!! A night where I am free of homework and can spend my afternoon relaxing!! It's been a hectic couple of weeks, what with school starting again and all. I've had so much homework for the last few days that I can hardly sleep, let alone get on my favorite site. But at last, a chance to take a break and spend some time with the more important things...no not friends and family, silly, but the TV and computer! Lol ![]()
And as far as the TV is concerned, I better start enjoying what little time I can get with it. I have a feeling that my homework load is only going to increase as the school year goes on, and all of my favorite shows are starting their new seasons next week. What if I have to spend my nights working on algebra or chemistry and have to miss them? I know you're thinking I could tape them, but then I never have time to watch the tapes, so it's as good as missing them all together. Not to mention all of the best ones are on at 10 and end at 11, and I really would like to start going to bed at 10 instead. Bleh, this really sucks!!
But enough ranting. I guess I could always watch the shows on my new video iPod when I'm riding in the car or during class (hehe). I swear it's the greatest invention ever! Like, better than fire or the wheel!! Ok well maybe not that great, but it is pretty cool. I've recently started watching old shows that I'd forgotten but now remember that I love. Like The Munsters, for instance. I used to watch that show all of the time when I was little, and now I can watch whatever episodes I like. It's pretty corny, but I still love it. I consider it sort of my secret show, something that no one else knows I watch. Do you have a show like that? One that you really love, but you keep it to yourself because you know your friends would go huh? Just wondering if it's a common thing, or just a "Lindsay-ism," so to speak. ![]()
Ta-ta for now!
A Back to School Dilemma (and a nasty one, at that)
Well, it's the night before I must return to that dreaded place known as school. I hope everyone had a safe and happy Labor Day weekend, for it's pretty much the last one of the summer. Mine went just fine...laying on the beach, playing lots of volleyball, and riding my bike until sweat was literally running in a stream down my back. I know, what a great mental image that gives you, right?? ![]()
Ah yes, everything was going great....until tonight. All of a sudden my eyes have turned a nasty shade of pink and they burn like crazy. Then of course there is the nasty goop that keeps coming out of them (there I go again with the mental images, sorry folks). And they itch like crazy hell!! I think I have pink eye!!! What the %^&$ am I supposed to do when school starts tommorow?? As if I really want to go back looking like the living dead. And what if it's contagious?? GAH!!!
I...am...so...screwed. Any comments you could leave to try and get me out of my nasty-eyed depression will be greatly appreciated.
The Life and Adventures of a Schoolgirl
Well, it's that time again, boys and girls. Time to say bye to Popsicles, sandcastles, and (in my case) remote controls as we start heading back to that hideous but well known place...school!! For some of us, it's a great time because we reenter the land of learning (I honestly know nobody who feels like that, but hey, this blog has to appeal to all). For others, it's just another year of sleeping through class, doing as little homework as possible and praying for the torture to end. And for others, well..let's just say there are some of us with mixed feelings.
On one hand, I'm extremely excited. Everyone says that junior year is the best and that I'm going to have *switches to valley girl voice* like, so much fun! Ohmygawd! But then again, junior year is the toughest one as far as academics go. They have all of these college-prep workshops and tests you have to take in order to be accepted. You have the SAT and the ACT and the MEAP (Michigan Educational Assessment Program, for all you non-Michiganders) and so on. I tell you, how is one individual supposed to handle all that pressure??!
And as if all of this isn't stressful enough, I just read a magazine article that adds to it. It was about how girls may be rejected to colleges of their choice because the colleges are looking to accept more boys. One dean of admissions "acknowledged that many colleges - particularly elite liberal arts schools - are trying their hardest to keep the gender ratio balanced, even if it means accepting boys with poorer credentials then girls who apply to the same college." So basically, even if I am an extremely qualified candidate for a school, I may lose to boy who is extremely unqualified just because he is a boy. That means I may have to work even harder to stand out among the other applicants. To me, it all seems unfair, but maybe that's just because I'm a girl ?? I'd love some opinions on this topic, boys and girls alike! ![]()
