So much things have happened since I last blogged. As I mentioned before, I was worried of failing my AP English class. Lucky me, I passed! I failed my first drive to get my license, for not stopping for a car while I was backing around a corner. Stupid mistake. I’m over it, and I am waiting until July 12th to take it again. I have been appointed editor of my school yearbook. Finally, I got hired at Zumiez, one of my favorite clothing stores ever! I am so relieved to have my life in place for once. I have a job, getting a license soon, I’m editor of my school yearbook, and I have made advanced drama at school. I feel like nothing can get any better than that.

Relationship problems are over, and I’ve just passed my written test. How exciting! Now I just have to get my head together and try to pass my AP English class.

These past weekends have been really fun. I’ve been hanging out with a lot of my friends, and have met a lot of new people too. A lot has happened since I last blogged, however. I began talking to my ex-girlfriend again. Stopped talking to her, again. That friendship is obviously not meant to be. Ha. I started talking to someone else, and I think we’re both starting to gain interest in each other. So we’ll see how that works out.

I went out for coffee with an old friend this past Thursday. I met her the year she was to graduate while we were both in the production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We were both Oompa Loompas. I’m glad we’ve kept contact despite her going to college. It’s fun getting together and laughing about our current problems, school, and of course, recalling those times when we had orange faces and had to dance like maniacs.

My grandma is coming! She has never been to the states, planes kind of scare her, but she decided to brave it out this time. I’m so excited! I haven’t seen her in two years. Yesterday was also my cousins birthday. I gave her a card. I’m going shopping for her present today, and I’m throwing a small party at my house tomorrow to celebrate. I was thinking of having a nice little barbecue outside and have a water balloon fight afterwards, but it seems like that’s not going to work out very well. It’s supposed to rain. It’s been raining a lot, actually. The weather has been some-what bipolar lately.

My birthday was amazing. Last Monday, my birthday, I went to Red Robin for dinner. Six of my friends attended, and it was a lot of fun. The waiters sang me happy birthday, which was very embarrassing. Afterwards, we all went to the mall and walked around. My friend and I bought cool glasses (picture above.) All in all, it was great fun. Nice clean fun, free of drama.

I’m not longer talking to my ex-girlfriend, but in a gigantic sense it’s for the best. I just can’t handle being so… stupid. I’ve definitely learned my lesson. If something is meant to happen, it’ll find its way over to you. In this case, it wasn’t meant to happen so it’s best to just keep my distance.

I’ve been pretty busy with a big project I’ve been assigned for yearbook. This next year, I have a chance of being the editor. The most awkward thing about this is that this position is to be picked between my two best friends and I. So we’re basically competing for the same position with this project. The picture above is a peak at the cover I designed for my project. In other school related news, I’m passing my English class! I was so relieved to hear that this past Friday. I do not want to have to retake that class again.

Happy Mothers Day! Within the Mexican culture, Mothers Day is always on May 10th, whether is lands on a Sunday or not. We celebrated Mothers Day by showering my wonderful mother with gifts. She got The Magic Bullet, flowers, balloons, a teddy bear, and a shopping spree from my dad. What a glorious day it was for her.

My birthday is tomorrow. My parents already made it clear that I will be getting money for my birthday. The amount is undisclosed, but whatever the amount is, I will be spending it online shopping. Don’t know why, but that sounds like a lot of fun.

So much crap has been going on lately. Some stupid drama is going on between my small triangle of friends, and it has yet to be resolved. My ex-girlfriend, who I believed I still had major feelings for, has been experimenting with drugs which just frustrates me more than anything. It just shows me that this person really doesn’t care about what I think, and it’s extremely upsetting. At the peak of my birthday, I just want everything to go great. My friend planned a dinner for next Monday, my birthday. My closest friends and I are all going to Red Robin to celebrate.

Here’s to a non-dramatic birthday!

So I sit deep in though, flipping through the pages of Nylon. I often do this when I need inspiration, or just want something out of my mind. There are times where I just wish I wasn’t in certain situations, and I definitely feel that way now. For a while now, there has been a gigantic clutter of stresses I’ve yet to deal with.

I want to be able to find my own financial solution. I was aware that there was going to be a time eventually when I was going to get tired of coming to my parents for money, and it has hit me. Getting a job at 16, or even 17 years old is pretty hard to do. Especially someone who has no experience in working at all. I’d love to be able to make my own money, and be able to pay for the things I want on my own. It’s hard for me to ask my parents for so many things knowing that they have their own things to deal with.

Friends come and go, but not so in and out like this one. I know I should be used to her doing this all the time, but I just can’t seem to do it. We were supposed to go to prom together with a group of friends, but the guys forgot to get guest approval forms since my friend has already graduated. My school makes it a requirement to have a background check when someone out of our school wants to attend a school dance. I felt pretty damn bad for forgetting, but she seemed fine with it. We even hung out right after. These days, MySpace is a source in which a teenager finds out pretty much anything going on with anyone. Turns out my friend is going to prom with someone else, and it just makes me think, “How the hell is she getting in? She was supposed to go with me and we never signed the form.” I’m guessing she lied to me, and if this is the case, she has crossed the line.

I’ve been slacking on taking my written drivers test. My parents never have time to take me, and it’s starting to bother me. I just can’t wait for the day when I have my drivers license in hand. Finally able to have a bit of freedom and independence for a change.

I guess I’ll have to take a bite out of these stresses one at a time. I just hope that very soon, I am able to finally say that I have absolutely nothing to deal with.

I’ve been pretty busy this past week. I’ve had homework, relationship issues, and yearbook issues. There’s been a lot to deal with. Many ups and downs, which I hope turn out for the best. I wish life wasn’t so stressful. Why can’t everyone just be with who they want to be with? Everything is just too complicating. On a different note, I finally got glasses. I can see sharper now, and a lot clearer. It’s great.

Happy 17th Birthday to my best friend Frankie!

This week has been awfully stressful. I had to take state tests on Tuesday and Wednesday morning. So I had to wake up early to do that. Then, I have a five page research paper to do. The rough draft is due today, and I only got four pages done. I also have to finish designing all ads for the school yearbook and e-mail numerous ad previews to all the businesses. To top it all off, some stuff about my past relationship have been bothering me a bit. Luckily, due to state tests this week, I get to go to school late today! Now I have to go get ready, and go through another day of school.

A lot of my designs, like the one above, come from ideas I think of when I’m trying to go to sleep. I don’t understand why, but I think my brain is more creative when my family is quiet and not running all over the place.

I went to a movie last night with my three best friends and my older brother. We all decided to watch Prom Night, which I was actually excited for. The trailer looked very intriguing, and the concept of the movie was pretty cool. Turns out, it sucked. The acting was horrible at times. Some events were unrealistic, and the ending was extremely disappointing. Two thumbs down.
