Bored...

So bored...so very tired and bored. However much I am bored though, things are looking up. My volunteering gig has come through and Venturing is very close to becoming a solid thing in my life. Even my love life has perked up at tad bit so yay for that! The only thing that hasn't gone well is my search to make extra money hasn't gone well. Damn...T.T

Back in black!

Ok, not really but I am back. I really need to get used to school but Labor Day is on its way to save me! Yay! But sadly, i have some bad news. I cannot get the part time job. I am going to be volunteering as well as joining the local Venturing Crew. I will busy on the weekends. And since I know all of you loyal readers share my resounding feeling of "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" but it's all for a good cause. College. I need to improve my college resume. So it shall all pay off in the end. However, if any of you lovely people out there have any ideas on how to make money on the side in between school and all this other stuff it would be much obliged! ^^

This Week...

Is full of tests, quizzes, and major projects due. Why does the grind have to start so early? T.T Anyway, lots of....interesting things have happened. Other than one of my "friends" throwing her boyfriend and the fact that I still havent had one in my face, I also got the pleasure of welcoming week 7 of my best friend being MIA (no, not in the military sense). I'm seriously considering rummaging through many phone books to find his home number. I also got to play relationship counselor for one of my friends and realized that I have to figure out how to get my "almost boyfriend" to turn into my boyfriend. Oh why can't we all just go back to the age of cooties?

Woosh!

the second week of school has almost blown by. My classes aren't as bad as I thought. The next step I have to do is get my part time job to start raking in the dough! And get my permit. Yes, I know its rather sad not to already have a permit but...i procrastinate. So, get used to school? Done. Get part time job? Almost, have to apply at Publix. Permit? Not yet...haha. I feel like I'm getting closer to my goal everyday, but the hardest part is to convince my mom and keep it a secret. Any tips?

sorry!

Sorry all my invisible readers. I know you all missed me terribly, but I had my first week of school to attend too. 5 mandatory tests, 4 nine weeks, 3 years almost gone, 2 AP classes, and a partridge in a pear treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Hahaha I just had to do that last part but that's my junior year in a nutshell. The first weeks isn't even over and im already worrying. But I will make it through! My goal is to kick ass this year and make all A's.....if anyone is good at Language and Composition please. Send me a message. ^^

Good day.

Well. Happy Birthday to me. I had my party today and used it to try and relax before school starts on monday. This is gonna be one hell of a year...

Impatience

Sucks. It really does. I think my brother purposely decides to hang around...if he does, he's obviously smarter than I thought. Moving on! So I'm just biding time now. Waiting for the perfect moment, preferably when my mother is not going through a hot flash. >.< And since I'm doing all this waiting I have allowed myself to stop worrying so much and relax. I have realized that yoga is not as easy as it seems and that my ass is my weakest muscle. I have also realized that I really need to start on AP summer project since I start school next monday. Whoopee! Wish me luck...I'm gonna need all I can get to come out of the dragon's den that is my AP Lang class alive. :)

Interesting Day...

Didn't get the chance like I wanted to talk with my mom as my little brother decided to hang around ALL DAY. Fun times, fun times. (if you didn't get the sarcasm then shame on you. :3 ) However annoying the setback was, it did allow me some time to gather my thoughts and formulate a plan of attack. I gathered my research together and allowed myself to practice...in front of a mirror. Yes it felt silly. Yes I locked the door but it sure helped. Now I won't stutter when I get the chance to really talk with her.

My plan is taking shape!....

...somewhat. I have managed to compile a list of reasons of why my mom, the number one obstacle in my way to the land of fish and chips, wont' let me go.

1. Her being, well....a mom.
2. Worried for my safety.
3. Afraid of me getting raped, mugged, thrown into a blender, etc. And her not being able to come right away.
4. Still sees me as her "little girl" ( I know that some part will always see me like that.)
5. Empty Nest Syndrome, Empty Nest Syndrome, Empty nest Syndrome....

So it seems that I'm halfway there to conquering the "Mother Factor". The next step is figuring out how to do it...

Now lets get down to business

The business of determining what has to happen next, of course! I have determined that i can get the cash I need if I find the right part time job. (any opinions on Ingles?) The next thing I have to do is convince my mom. Every time I bring it up to really talk with her about it I get a vague "we'll see..." or just flat out NO. She seems to be wavering but I'm not sure. I have explained to her that I will go after my senior year and that year's summer and the following Fall and Winter. I will be 18 when I go, I DO have much common sense, and I'm a hell of a lot more cautious than most teenagers. So now my only question is how to get her to let me go? Both to England and her vision of the little girl she thinks I am...any advice?

Shhh, its a secret...

It's a secret to most of my friends and family that I have the desire, no that doesn't quite cover it...the NEED to go to England. I have been planning for the past 3 years to go and study abroad for a semester in England. To get away from here. To just add an amazing experience to my rather short list of awesome things that I've done, plus I could see all my friends over there but lets just keep that to ourselves. ;) I'm just a 16 year old teenage girl about to start her Junior year and I have 29 months of sacrificing my weekends for a part time job and working my summers away babysitting a devil child to raise, at the very least, $3,000 and convince my mom to allow me to go.

The Mission: Get to England by 2013
Status: We shall see...
