So lately I've been listening to Avishai Cohen's music a lot while studying or reading. I find it quite refreshing and relaxing :)

Just so you know...

...I'm not dead! Woo! Yeah. Not dead. Just lazy. But now I'm back! :O I haven't posted in FOREVERRRR. My life has just been so full of.. school. :/ Learning and homework. And as of this week, finals. Which, so far, have actually gone quite well! I take my last two tomorrow and then I'm FREE! Yay! Sooo I should be studying right now.. so here are some pictures to occupy you.

Some of the items I've made in art class :D

This is what I spent an hour of my evening doing:


And here's Winston!
In case you can't tell, he loves the snow too.

Stay The Same

I really like this :]

endless entertainment

I'm currently finding large amounts of joy in wearing a baggy, over-sized, multicolored sweater around the house along with a pair of black leggings. In the middle of the night.. I just looked at the clock! Goodness I should be sleeping, I think. Anyway, I have this fantastic new sweater all thanks to Goodwill! I went to get a sweatshirt and other items to wear on Monday, which is is themed as 80's workout day, for homecoming week. Originally, we found this sweater with the intent of cutting the sleeves off and making them into leg warmers, but now I'm not sure if I can bear to do it! It's so delightfully big and colorful! (royal blue, purple, a dark lime-ish green, turquoise, and black) I'm debating now whether I should wear this sweater instead of the sweatshirt.. I'm definitely going to be getting some other leggings or sweater to make into leggings, but should I wear the sweater? Or perhaps it isn't very workout-y, since it is a kind of chunky knit sweater... Hm.

perhaps we should have a pumpkin c"rave"

Because that would be SO FUN right? In all honesty, I'm not sure how well pumpkins go with dancing.. But hey, you never know until you try! ;D I'm just posting a post for the sake of posting, I think. I have large quantities of relatively simple homework this weekend! Something I actually kind of like.. wow. Well, I'd much rather have a bunch of worksheets and minor assignments, as opposed to having a couple of big projects or writing assignments! This way, even if it takes the same amount of time to do my homework, I can check off each assignment when it's finished, and by the time I'm done I feel like I've accomplished a lot! Yay for having nerd opinions on homework.
So, I went ice skating yesterday evening! :D It was lots o' fun, even though I fell twice.. Teehee. But I got up again! You're never going to keep me down! Yup. Anyway, now I'm somewhat sore! But not too much that I don't feel like going rollerblading if I can find time to today. And, I definitely would enjoy going ice skating again soon! It had been awhile since I'd last gone, and I really forgot how much I enjoy it, despite my poor skills, and what a good activity it is for spending time with friends. :] Sooo.. if anyone wants to go ice skating next next Friday at 7:30pm, count me in. Because this coming Friday I have my school's homecoming game and (maybe) dance to go to. After experiencing Carmel's, it feels like ours might be total failure in comparison. Except for the grinding... one good aspect, at our homecoming we will definitely have less grinding.

Whpff Shfft

Whenever I'm walking down a hallway at school I feel like I look depressed or something because I usually have a blank, bored look on my face. But if I smiled more often I would probably look like a grinning idiot. Still, I want to look approachable and friendly... Which is better, grinning idiot or expressionless tired person?

Also, I never think about how my knees always brush/knock against eachother while I'm walking until I wear my corduroy pants(which I did today) and it makes an annoying noise.. this bothered me all day today. I really like these pants, they're a maroon/red-violet color and skinny fit, but seriously, all day it was whpff shfft whpff shfft as I went from class to class. >.< ...I'm not sure that onomatopoeia is quite right.. but, in my defense, it's a really hard sound to describe.

Also also, my backpack is magic. It's pretty crazy. I couldn't find my phone for a couple days, and I knew it had to be somewhere at home, so I searched all over the house for it. When I got home from school today I was looking, and happened to check my backpack for it for the billionth time.. and I finally found it! It was in the bottom of the bag.. but really, what is up with that?! I emptied my bag twice when I was looking the other day! Maybe I'm just bad at finding things. Yeah..

Also also also: Happy first day of October and HAPPY WEEKEND :D I have lots of homework to do, but none of it is major, so I'm fairly pleased myself. ^_^

Oh No Oh No Oh No !

So I just tried to go to this site and blogger showed that my blog had been deleted !!! I'm not really sure what happened.. But anyway, the problem has been resolved. Clearly! :P Hm, how is Gemma entering a post in the afternoon on a school day? I'm not at school! D: *depressed frown* I stayed home today because last night before going to bed I had a really long period of intense crazy abdominal pain, which somewhat came back this morning.

My first thoughts after becoming delirious with pain?

1. "I AM NEVER DANCING AROUND THE HOUSE FOR TWENTY MINUTES STRAIGHT AFTER EATING DINNER EVER AGAIN."
2. "Maybe this is because of those cookies I ate?! Darn it! Darn you cookies!"
3. "dfjhaflkfjd aaaeuuuhghghghgh paaaaiiin"
4. "...oh no. Oh No Oh No Oh No ! WHAT IF IT'S MY APPENDIX?!???!?!"
5. "Eungh. Ima die. Ow."
