blogging is good for the soul

I haven't blogged in awhile which is good and bad. I think writing stuff down lets you get things off your chest and helps your mind relax a little bit. Since I haven't blogged in a long time, I have all of these thoughts floating around in my head. And my dreams haven't been helping much lately either.

One of my dreams was that there was a grocery store that had EVERYTHING inside of it. And if it was missing something, all you had to do was wish for that item, and it would appear. But all of a sudden, the store started expanding and shrinking. Everything was malfunctioning and that Utopia of a supermarket was beginning to collapse. A little girl was at risk of getting hurt, while her brother waited outside for her. All I did was bring the boy out to his mother. I have no idea what happened to the little girl...

Another one of my dreams started off with the world about to end. We had about fifteen minutes until we thought it would end. After fifteen minutes, we were still all alive, but we were living in a deserted city. Those have been just some of the weird dreams I've been having. Maybe these dreams resulted from a lack of sleep, but I hope they don't mean that I'm destined to live in a world that's collapsing right from under me.


On a happier note: I wish Halloween would come already! Our costumes are awesome :)

it is called improvisation

Yesterday, I decided to bake some cookies because for one, I did not feel like doing homework, and two, because my internet had some technical difficulties. As I went to bake them, I realized that I didn't have enough butter, so I decided to improvise. I didn't measure anything out, and the cookies turned out better than they have before. The result was kind of bittersweet: The cookies were tasty, but I didn't write the recipe down.

I meant to bring some to school today, but I totally forgot because I was kind of rushed this morning. Sorry Albert! Tacky Tourist day was today and socks and sandals are not the best combination in the midst of the wettest day since 1962. (Fun fact provided by Mr. Colburn!) Anyways, since I dressed up for Tacky Tourist day, Di-an made me go be part of the noontime in the theater. It was slightly awkward, especially when Valentina came up with her shirt w/ a bikini painted onto it, like the one from How I Met Your Mother. So, I participated in this noontime which was some fashion show, so I could be entered into a raffle to win something from the student store. I wish it was a warmer day for Tacky Tourist day, but sadly it was pouring down rain. What I've learned from this day: Tourists dress for convenience and not necessarily for style. Fanny packs are actually pretty convenient :)

After school there were some pretty fail moments displayed by Albert and Allyson. It's not always all me!

Me: There's a raindrop on your glasses.
Albert: (Tries to blow it off).
Me: That's not gonna work.
Albert: (Takes off glasses and tries to wipe it off). It doesn't work! Oh wait...it's on the inside of my glasses... D:

Allyson: (Walks outside and then comes back around) Where did Maggie go?
Albert: She went outside and followed you.
Allyson: Goes back outside looking for me XD Comes back inside saying that she's gonna kill me o.o
