things that make me happy

hi there, and happy monday.
contradiction of terms, i know, but still.


so, to make the fact that it's MONDAY, of all of the days in the week, better, a list of things that make me very happy {in no particular order}:


1. chocolate milk

 

 i don't know why i've been liking chocolate milk so much lately. but it makes me feel like a little kid, so i'll roll with it :D

2. books {and 3. fluffy things}

i love books. a lot. being an only child, reading and writing were my company for many years. right now, i'm reading the hunger games {for me} and the scarlet letter {for school}. oh and my cat was {is} also company who is currently playing dead next to the pool table. the odd creatures in this family, i swear *shakes head*

4. sweets

my sweet tooth is practically legendary around my family and friends {as is my appetite - i may look skinny but i can eat a LOT}. cupcakes, muffins, cookies, candy, ice cream.... it all makes me happy.

5. pink

i don't know what's with me lately. i am typically ANTI pink and love things that are red and black and all of that jazz. but... i really like pink lately. it makes me smiley.


6. dresses

i really don't. i don't like pants. 

but i do like dresses. 
oh, and to all of those people who ask why i'm "all dressed up" while i'm wearing a dress..... dress = one, comfy item. i throw on a dress and shoes and i go. sweats = a lot more work. and less cute. so :P


7. music {specifically, my ipod}

music has always been my saving grace. especially with the troubles i have with talking {i stumble, i stutter, i babble awkwardly and confuse people by forgetting important words}, what's engraved on my itouch i got for christmas in 2009 is really true - when words fail, music speaks. so, music makes me really happy. which is why i have a little bit of everything on my ipod.
oh, and the fact that i can type a chapter {yes, i really have done this. i've typed 10 thousand or so words on my ipod, methinks.}/type a blog post/post a tweet/research something on it makes me love it all the more.


7. random spastic dance parties {with anyone}

these happen a lot at my house. and at school. and basically anywhere. but if i hear a song i like on the radio {or on my ipod} damn straight i'm going to start dancing if i feel like it. and i will more than likely make whoever's around {including my cat} dance with me. the cat doesn't tend to appreciate my dancing.
{yes, this does include spinning me out into the middle of the street. you know who you are.}

8. computers.

 most days, if not all, just spending a little time on the computer will make me a happier person. whoever had the idea to put cute cats and funny captions together...... thank you.


9. silk.

there are few things i love more than stuff that's soft to touch {hence the reason my cat hates me - she hates all forms of affection asides from food.} which means i really love silk. which is why my silk robe makes me really really happy after a long monday.


10. le boyf

of course my boyfriend makes me happy. he's one of my favorite people in the world. his hugs, the way he smells, the sound of his voice... yeah, they all make me happy. veddy veddy happy :)

 apparently i'm very pretty today.

a week in review

so, my first week of junior year is {finally} over.
it was a long week, to say the least.

i'm the theatre teacher's student aid first period {because there was NO WAY i was sticking in study hall. uh uh. nope. not happenin'.}

my Pre-AP English class is going to be sooooo intense, but the people in there are AMAZING. we already have a list of about 8 major assignments for the quarter... meaning at least one a week, some weeks more, as well as in-class work and homework.

i'm still completely dreading my spanish iii class. i only like one of the school's spanish teachers, and i don't have him this year. my spanish teacher i do not like in the least.


chemistry..... between the teacher {once upon a time, he almost blew The Boy up on a daily basis, no joke} and the people {zoe. krista. cam. aleksei.} this is going to be a dangerous {but still completely HIIIIIILARIOUS} class. 


trig is of course my longest class and going to be all....meh -_-


but then i have my lunch buddeh, ben. he is the only okay freshman. i love that kid. he was also our unofficial guard guy :D


econ it'll be a miracle if i don't fall asleep every day. but it'll be an easy a because i'm excellent at doing outlines.


and then.... *drumroll* YEARBOOK PREP!


yearbook prep has to be the best elective ever, but that is a well-kept secret. we get to LEAVE CAMPUS. to sell ads, run errands, etc. and we have no exam. 


in yearbook, there are probably around ten people in the entire class, three of which are juniors. we have to group up to sell ads (some of us can't drive, etc.). we were going to have an all junior group because maggie can drive. but she can only have one other person in the car with her. so i got grouped with a couple of senior girls.


this is going to be so amazing.


the first day that we went out to sell ads, we only went out to sell two, because they were close to each other and we have three weeks to sell, like, eleven ads. we sold them both. and we had fifteen minutes to kill, so we stopped at burger king.


because mrs. price just doesn't really care, as long as we do still sell ads.


cassie was treating kristen and i, but i refused to get anything. i need to start saving money because it basically sounds like, in order to not "owe" anybody, we're going to end up going different places and "treating" each other to something or other.


oh, and i get to see le boyf. which makes me so, so extremely happy <3


this is going to be my best year yet.
