Hot Orange Spice Tea..

..it's my constant companion when sick.   :] And today, I am sick. :[ I've been feeling ill since, I'm not sure, Wednesday last week I suppose. I was getting sick already, but I blame track for provoking it. The first day in particular, as it was cold and I chose to leave my sweatshirt inside the building, wearing only a t-shirt and knit capris to run in. I make such good decisions, right? So now, I've been suffering congestion, sore throat, overall ache, etc. I stayed home on Thursday in hopes of recovery, but it didn't seem to help. Now, I'm hoping staying home today will make me all better for school tomorrow! I'm sick of being sick.

On a more positive note, I am actually enjoying track. The feeling you get after practice, where you're so sore, but pleased with yourself for the exercise, I love it! It's nice to be active, especially considering I don't participate in any other sports.
Looking out the window right now, there's clear blue sky and sun, it just makes me wish I were outside running around. Sigh* spring! SPRINGGG! I love it. Even the rain, which we experienced yesterday, puts me in a good mood. The only thing that I'm slightly dreading is the heat that's going to come eventually. That tends to make it a little more difficult to appreciate track.

Also, another of my sick companions: the music of Jason Mraz, Gavin DeGraw, Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, and the rest of the music pandora deems similar. Seriously, I've been listening all day, and it greatly improves my mood. ^_^

Note: And now I've found out that I have three tests tomorrow. hyperventilating* I need to study. Agh.

3.141592653589...

It's time to celebrate! Oh yes! Because:

1. The play is over, both performances were great, and the whole experience was fun
2. Track starts tomorrow... I am going.. that's a good reason to celebrate! I guess? I mostly enjoy track, exhaustion, sore muscles, and all!
3. Today is PI DAY
4. It is SPRING. (for the most part) I love that. 

Number 3 is particularly important, considering the title of this very blog! Which is, actually quite random. I mean, I like pie. And numbers, I guess. So I like pi. And I suppose I enjoy the occasional play on words. But really, I can't entirely remember my reasoning behind the name of this site. Ohh, in my younger years I don't think I cared enough to require deep meaning in things such as the title of my blog. Or my email address. Ugh, you know what I mean for those who have it.

Also, numero 4! Spring is my favorite season. It pleases me greatly. ^_^ What with the not too hot/cold weather, budding plant life, rain, sun and clouds, and even the smellll of spring. What a wonderful time.

Point #1, now that I think about it, does have its downsides. I've really enjoyed being in the musicals at Clay. This year and in the years past I've had so much fun. So, now that the play is over it sort of brings on more of the realization that highschool is coming closer. More importantly, Brebeuf is coming closer. shudders* I am excited and yet, I find myself afraid. I'm not sure. I just don't want to lose any of the people that I love to be around here at Clay. And what if I fail at making new friends?! Aack!

Hmm, well this is all out of order, but I suppose I should talk about Number 2 as well... Basically, I enjoy running. And exercise makes me feel happy and healthy. So I'm fairly excited for track. Well. Not excited. Just, glad that it's here. I'm not hugely overjoyed or anything. xD

Some Things Just Happen

This weekend was quite eagerly awaited. It's a nice reprieve, as we had no play practice on Saturday when we would normally. (although the principle cast went from 10am to 12, HAha)
I also have hardly any homework! How pleasing!
So, I spent Saturday relaxing and I intend to do the same today. Therefore, I have nothing interesting to report.
Sorry.
Well. I have one thing... I BURNT MY HAND. OW. D:
It's true. I burnt the side of my right hand yesterday. On our toaster oven. :[ I now have three tender, blistery, pinkish places on my hand.
No fear though! I shall recover! To be honest it doesn't hurt too much anymore. But gosh, it was quite a pain last night.

The Seagull's Name is Jonathan

We had to wear our costumes today at practice. Urg. I guess I don't mind wearing a matronly, light green, floor length dress... too much. I guess.

Sooo, this Saturday we took a bit of a field trip after play practice on Thursday! We went to Hook's drugstore (an old-timey sort of drugstore, museum, and candy store) to "get into character" and "learn about the time period" ...that sort of thing. ^_^ And of course, to learn the difference between an ice cream soda and an ice cream float. It is a key bit of info which all people should be acquainted with:
Soda=carbonated drink and flavoring and ice cream mixed together
Float=just soda pop aka "phosphate" with ice cream in it
Okay. So mainly I went to get the ice cream soda.
And. It. Was. Yummy. (mine was cherry flavoring with chocolate ice cream)
I also purchased some candy. There is no resisting candy.

Also, today and tomorrow we have ISTEP+(Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress-Plus, what's with the "Plus" part?) Which MEANS: No extra homework today! We'll still have shortened classes tomorrow though, in addition to the testing. Phooey. Anyway, we had MATHEMATICS and ENGLISH testing today. For the prompt we needed to write a fictional story about someone who does something they were afraid of doing or didn't think they could accomplish. I wrote about a girl who's afraid of elevators. xD


Now, I need to stop typing stuff on here and finish the project I now need to do for Language Arts. I thought it was due on Friday, but it's actually due Wednesday... Sigh!

ONE MORE THING: My mouth is blue! :P It's the result of one of the candies I got from Hook's which is deliciously blueberry flavored and full of artificial blue coloring. Fantastic!

I Am No Cannibal!

I don't eat people! Just in case anyone might've been wondering.
Because, of course, it's a totally relevant and obvious possibility that anyone might ask about..

It has been awhile since my last post. Not much has happened.
More play practice, which has been fun and entertaining. :D And hmmm. Monotony. Homework. That sort of thing.
The wire for my bottom braces keeps coming out at the back which is annoying. Need to go get that fixed.. Ow. It pokes me in the cheek. Not like anyone needs to know this, but it's quite a bother!
Now, I am switching between eating beans, practicing flute, typing, and studying science. Multitasking for the win! And soon, thanks to my mama when she gets home, I will be able to add a Steak 'N Shake mint cookies 'n cream milkshake to the list of tasks. Hopefully I'll have finished the beans...

If I Ever Feel Better

I forgot to mention in my last post that I'm not feeling too great health-wise. I don't think anyone has been lately; I suppose there's something going around. Really, this past week it seems there have been a TON of people absent from school. And now I am included in this sick person club. Yay. >_<
So yes, I was absent from school today due to sneezing, coughing, sore throat, fever, and general all over achiness. Oh and don't forgot exhaustion. I am surprised at how much I've slept today! Of course, it hasn't helped and I feel almost worse than I did this morning. Bleurgh. That's all I have to say about that.
And now I hope maybe we'll get enough snow tomorrow to have a snow day so I don't have to make the decision on whether or not I'm well enough to go to school. You may wonder, what decision can there be? Stay home! But, alas, I am a nerd. I've spent the entire day worrying about homework and classes and such. For instance:

Language Arts: What will I do about our literature circle group presentations from our plays?! (my group is reading from "You Can't Take It With You") I had the paper with prop ideas and everyone's parts! Ack. And I need to study Word Within the Word!
Wellness: Whatever. ;P Pardon me for my lack of caring, but there isn't a ton to miss..
Social Studies: I checked online and apparently we have to bring in a political cartoon? What specifically?! And how will I get the notes we took today?!
Art: I still haven't finished painting my clay snowman since I missed class the day it was due for my doctor's appointment! And I forgot to grab a sheet to sketch my ideas for the coil pot projects which I would be starting work on today. GAAH.
Band: ..Well I just need to remember to turn in the homework sheet I was supposed to turn in today. And practice more I guess?
Science: Gah! I'm going to have to take the quiz we had today! Will it be hard? I need to keep studying! I shouldn't be playing around on the computer!
Math: Absolute. Fear. And. Horror. Miss one day of notes, I will be so confused now in class. I'm going to fail! FAILLL!

...No wonder I'm not feeling any better.

Whatever It Is It Can't Be Named

Yay February! Yay six more weeks of winter! Honestly though, how much indication is there to be had in the actions of a small furry creature the name of which I have trouble spelling? Not much. Still, I hope this winter season can continue its course. Maybe dump a bit more snow on us? I think we're supposed to get a bit this Friday. Joy!
It seems, among other things, I've noticed I write a lot about the weather. I guess it's just an important part of my wonderfully entertaining life. Ha. Maybe I just can't think of much to write about because my life is so BORING! My blog is not fun to read at all. It is SO lame and uninteresting. No one reads it. My life is a lie! This blog is a lie! Rawr. Heehee. Self deprecation. ;]

So.. Anyway, let's seeeee what has happened today... Among other things:

• Emma came back to school after being sick for SO LONG (two days without Emma is too long ;] haha)
• I had a doctor's appointment and went to Panera for lunch (a realization: I seem to have appointments during the school day on a fairly regular basis)
• Sophia doubled over laughing at a comment I made and hit her head on my flute case! ..Sorry! xD
• We had play practice after school! It wasn't too boring or anything. It actually went by pretty quickly.
• Also, I laughed a lot today
  

And now I am eating slices of French baguette from Panera with peach jelly slathered on top, along with a pile of almonds and a glass of milk... My food choices aren't quite sophisticated, but they do taste yummy!

One more thing, like the picture? I can't remember if I've had this one up before or not.
