A few things that have been going on...
*On the positive side, my cousin did real well through the surgery, and from what I've been hearing she seems to be recovering at a good pace. Still not sure how much it helped or not (I haven't really heard much about that) but I'm praying that it did some good. =] Thanks for your prayers.
*On the really negative side, it is never a good thing to hear an ambulance go through your neighborhood at 7:00 in the morning. We were extremely shocked and saddened to later find out that morning that one of our neighbors (who was only 40) had a sudden, fatal heart attack. His son is really close to my brothers, so it's been a really really sad thing. It's been pretty hard on our family as well, just because it reminds of us our dad dying of course....It's just really awful, and I would appreciate your prayers for this family....
*So far I am still jobless. Not that I have been trying extremely hard to get a job, however. The more I think about it the more unappealing the whole thing sounds. haha. But I did get that application turned in at the grocery store (finally). Turns out the manager wasn't there, again, so I just laid it up on his desk. If he can't find it then he shouldn't be running the store.....haha. And I mailed off my application to that restaurant, so hopefully one of them will start hiring soon...They'd better.....haha
Well that's it for now. Oh and one more thing. Thank goodness it's almost the weekend....

You Know What's Annoying....
*....writing endless papers on Moby Dick. Seriously this one I started today has to be the 3rd one I've done. (We finally started school back today btw). Not only do I really not enjoy writing papers, but Moby Dick has to be one of the most boring books I have ever read. Now I am willing to give most books that I read a good chance, but I'm sorry. Nothing much appeals to me concerning the subject of whaling. Reading about it is just not the way I would choose to spend my way, and writing about it is even worse....*sigh* oh well. Maybe I'll finally finish it. Someday....
*.....people at grocery stores who don't show up at the customer service desk to take your application. (haha). Seriously, last week I went to two places to apply for a job; a restaurant, and a grocery store. They both gave me the old, "We're not hiring right now but we're always accepting applications" monologue. Well I filled out the forms and this afternoon I went down to the grocery store to turn mine in. There was no problem. There was no one at the desk that takes applications and deals with customer complaints and stuff. There was also no sign of any of the managers. Now by this time I was seriously annoyed. I drove all the way down here just to stand in the front of the store and look like an idiot. Finally, after a few minutes of feeling extremely conscpicuous and worrying about being mistaken for some kid up to no good, I decided just to get out of there. Guess tomorrow after school I'll go back and demand to see a manager. Can you imagine me doing that?.....ha
Well I have a lot more things that annoy me but that's all I can think of for now....haha. I would appreciate prayer for my cousin though. She had surgery this past week, and I would really appreciate prayers for her recovery. If you didn't know, she has a condition which causes large tumors to grow on her face and stuff. So the surgery was supposed to help lift her face up a little since the tumors were making it sag. It's too early to tell if it's worked yet or not, but we're praying that it will. Thanks so much. =]

Crazy Trip
Well it's another year, and honestly I'm surprised I survived to see it....haha just kidding, though traffic in the city my grandparents live in could easily pose life threatening. Seriously, if I had to drive in that mess every day I think I'd either go insane or walk (which could be just as dangerous with those maniac drivers on the road....) Anyways, most of the trip was great, and seeing family was a lot of fun (though we did play a heck of a lot of games). You see, when you get all of our family together you can guarantee that all we will do is eat, play games, and force the musical children of the family to perform. My poor grandma about wore herself out getting the meals together. From the way she acted it appeared that the President plus his cabinet were coming to dinner....As to the performing thing, while I was packing up I conviently forgot to pack my piano music, meaning I didn't have to play. (I'm a genius. I know....haha). But my grandma wasn't having that. I ended up having to sing a duet with my cousin, as neither one of us wanted to sing a solo. But I'd much rather sing than play in public (and yes I'm considering family public here) anyday. If you've read my past blogs about piano recitals and piano festivals, you'll know what I mean.....
Well hope everyone has a good new year, and a good week. I am just happy cause I don't have to start school back till the 12th. Mwhahahaha =]. So I don't really know what I'll be doing this week, except I might attempt looking for a job since I happen to be broke (I have about 10 bucks to my name at the moment). That should be a nerve wracking endeavor. Sometimes I feel like my whole life is a nerve wracking endeavor.....haha

Christmas
Well, as to be expected, this Christmas was just odd and strange and sad for me, but like I said that is to be expected. And not all of it was sad. I did get a few nice things (or should I say a lot of nice things haha) including a new coat which I had been badly needing. My other one had a hole in the back, and I really didn't want people to think that I was a freezing street urchin. So that was a nice gift.
I was really glad to get some curlers, but I'm not going to be happy until they actually work on my hair...My hair is super thick you see, and nothing really curls it very well. (or maybe it's just the fact that my mom and me are not professional hair stylists. That could be it...haha) Anyways, last year we had started out using a curling iron, but that stopped quick when my mom accidentally touched the iron to my face (at least she says it was an accident) leaving a big burn mark on my cheek. Seeing as how I really didn't want to die for the sake of curly hair, we switched to a curling brush which didn't curl twice as good. I mean we couldn't even get it through my hair really. So these curlers had better work or I'm giving up forever on curly hair of any sort....Okay I'll end the hair rant now. haha
Besides the stuff mentioned above I also got several more random things, but I won't bore you by going into a detailed list of them....Plus I'm too lazy to type anymore about it =] haha
Well tomorrow we are taking our yearly vacation to see my grandparents, so I'll be gone for about a week. As you know if you've read my blogs for the past year or so, my grandfather has an ornery computer that I really don't feel like messing with. Also, if I was on the computer instead of visiting with family we don't get to see often (my uncle, aunt, and cousins will be there part of the time) she'd probably kill me. Blogging is yet another thing I don't wish to die for....So I will post again whenever I get back. If you could pray that we have safe travel there and back, that would be great. All I know is, it better snow while we're up there or I'm going to be pretty ticked plus forget what snow looks like....haha

Finally Done
Friday I finally finished school for the semester, and I must say that I'm extremely relieved. Except I'm a little worried about how I scored on my chemistry final. I studied like heck for it, but sometimes no amount of studying can prepare you for some of the horrible things that crop up on such tests...Okay so I probably did a lot better than I thought. I mean I felt pretty good on most of them. However, it took me three hours to get threw the thing (and I'm normally a really fast worker). That can't be a good sign....hahaha
Well I hope everyone has a great holiday break and a good Christmas. Ours is certainly not going to be what I call a good Christmas (as you can probably surmise), but hopefully it will still be an okay one.....Speaking of Christmas, our church's youth group and kids group is having their little performance tonight, but I'm not going to be in it because I really can't stand drama and all that and I didn't really come to enough of the rehearsals to sing in it. Plus I can't stand how they've combined the youth choir with the children's group. I mean what teenager wants to work with kids?? Come on people....But oh well. Maybe I'll get used to the idea. However, first I have to hope that the church building survives the service tonight. Remember last year when I told you about our youth group having a candlelight service? Well this year we're having a candlelight service as well, except this time the kids get to handle the candles too. That was risky enough with teenagers. Imagine such weapons in the hands of 6 year olds....*sigh* Maybe it'll be all right....=]
Well that's it for now....

Thank Goodness
Well I did it. I passed my driving test yesterday. I'll admit it. It was a miracle. First of all I was so nervous I thought I might puke on the guy giving the test or pass out over the wheel getting us both killed. So that was definitely a worry. I must say as we walked out to get in the car, I wished I was anywhere else but there (preferably on another planet with an assumed name). haha. Plus the guy really didn't do too much to allay my fears. He was about the most impersonal guy I had ever met, and he seemed like the kind of guy who didn't care too much for teenagers and would fail them in a second if he could....Well it was too late to back out now, so I climbed in the car and got ready for my doom...
The test was pretty easy actually, and much better than I thought. I was extremely nervous of course (my hands were shaking, and I had to swallow rather loudly at times), and I rode the brake pretty much the whole way. Probably slow grandma drivers would have been ticked off if they had been driving behind me....Okay so I wasn't going that slow, but it was definitely much slower than usual....hehe. Luckily I only had to drive about half a mile though. Then I had to turn into a neighborhood and do a three point turn. I think the DMV's obssession with the three point turn is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I mean how many times are you going to have to do that? Can't you just pull into someone's driveway to turn around? Also I think it's dumb how they would flunk you for a direct hit on the curb while doing your three point turn. I mean come on people. If you hit the curb it isn't going to kill you or end the world or something....Anyways I did the turn (without hitting the curb I might add) and then he had me back straight a few feet. well I was pretty nervous about that, because backing is my weak point. However, I managed to stay straight for as long as he wanted, and then he had me drive back to the office. When he said, "That was good. We're gonna go get your license," I could have hugged him. Beautiful words. Beautiful. =]
So that's that and I'm extremely glad. The thought of this test has been looming over me for about a year and a half, so it's a great thing to get off your back I must say. Plus there's no better feeling than driving by yourself. No mom to yell at you, you can speed as much as you want....haha kidding kidding. I promise I don't speed. =]

Well...
Well I'm finally back...Sorry it's been a little while, but as you can surmise things have been pretty crazy. First of all I've been sick the past few days with a cold. Not fun. I know exactly how I got it to. Last weekend someone decided to give me a big smothering hug. Then the next day she commented on the fact that her throat hurt so much she could barely talk. Oh great I thought drearily. I still held onto hope that I could escape though. I made it through Monday, and then woke up Tuesday morning feeling like someone was shoving a knife down my throat. Today I'm feeling almost totally better (thank goodness) but just realize this; before you decide to give someone a big smothering hug, please please please make sure you're not infected with a virus. Got that?...=]
Besides all that junk, nothing much else has been going on. I'm in the home stretch of school for the semester (which I'm extremely thankful for) and tomorrow I'm going to take my driver's test. I don't know whether to be excited or whether to puke. I mean why the heck do they make teens go through this awful torture? All I want to do is drive. Come on people...haha. I had a not too fun experience with driving stuff last week (don't worry, no wrecks or anything) but that's for another story.....haha.
