Hey DA-ees!

i'm thinking if i told my mom "mom, i found my dream university. It's in England." she should say something like, "england? well, go for it, daughter! reach for your dreams!" instead of "you're not going to england [even though i have no valid excuses] so concentrate on the states"
... psshhh

redrafts... *sigh* the route to self-discovery, the epitome method of personal growth, the longest, hardest, sweat-blood-and-tears path to greatness... the most annoying words in the history of literary universe and beyond. :]
are they worth it? are they worth it?

yes

oh noooooooooooooo! doom! gaararrrah!

i lost my cellphone on thursday. i feel.. strangely vulnerable. it was a pretty phone. all silver and sliding and full of pictures of my friend's bday and my art project and all my contacts and stuff. i need it. please give it back you ********

i have a list of books i wanna buy :] its over three pages long, with two columns of titles on each page. but i'm only getting 5 of those some 100 books for christmas from amazon.. and some of them are used. because used books are awesome. they feel.. old, antique-y and special.. and loved and cherished and... disposed off to people like me.
point is, i need to start out my wonderful unemployed life living off my brothers' lives so i can read those books... i can't wait for it

in other news, being a senior is not good for my book plans. im so busy. like right now, i'm procastinating and should probably shoot meself or something. *smacksmack* i'll get to it. its friiiiday :]

~ meeeeeee, youuurs

yo, yo~

if i were you, i would go here: [link] and rate it before i go insane.

now that that's out of the way
i seem to have an endlessly growing pile of homework that i keep putting off.. and i'm studying for SAT2s now. Shoot me! *bam* All is well. the cycle continues. i think i've lost my 'it'. gittit? o,o

i watched "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" two days ago.
it was.. mind-blowing in a confusing, disturbing, interesting way.
i think i will buy the DVD and watch it again. hehe
and i painted a wall today. white. but it's getting somewhere, i swear.

Hey!

I'm a senior now.
And it's not hitting... sometimes.
I've realized senior year might really be more complicated than any other academical year of YOUR LIFE! because of all the university applications, and keeping up the good grades, and blahblahblah.
I don't know how many universities i've researched so far. But none of them seemed perfect. None of the hit me. None of them made me say "this is the one". None of them...

...until now.

That's right. Now, I just have to convince my mom that I really, truly want and am ready and all that to move from Mexico... to England. Hm.. complicated. But it will happen, I'm sure. I mean, they can't stop me! This university's cheaper than the ones my parents chose! *evil smile* that solves half our problems. Englaaand

Okay. My brain is slow only when it comes to realizing my own emotions. I swear, it takes months or years for me to understand how I feel about something or someone. So I won't feel the stress and pressure of senior year until I'm... 26. Or something. Joy!

I had a weird dream. it had a forest, a path, fences, chicks, ducklings.. and me. Yup. It was real calming though.

I shall do my homework now because I solved my future! Yahey!

p.s. i watched 'theholiday' yesterady. That was one fine movie. *nodnod*

yo-yo-yo!

i just got back from korea yesterday. i started school today. i'm jet-lagged. stomach in particular. there's nothing to eat in my house. i'm going to read 'the book thief'.

markus zusak? book thief. i am the messenger. ? go read now! as the new york times says, "brilliant and hugely ambitious... it's the kind of books that can be LIFE CHANGING"
i love those reviews. i have the books in my hands. i bought it with my own money. i will read it. yay.

apparently, in five months, i have to have 12 pieces of artwork finished and ready for display and examination... *dead* how? they have to be detailed, analytical, meaningful pieces of work, get it?! aaahahaha! *insanity runs free*
i have a list. none seems to relate to the other. will have to start soon. after math hw. after notebook searching. after book-thief-book-reading.

but FIRST! i will go ask my brother to... give me his camera!

Becca, I wish I had taken you to Korea with me. I'm shorry... *weep* i'll move myself to the corner... *SHAME*

last year of high school! woohoo~~

yo DA-ees,
long time no write to you!
so i'm in seoul, korea where you can burn eggs on the streets.. except for the last two days because it RAINED! *bam*
anyways, we're always moving and on the move and i'm so out of it.

i love watching people on the streets. not in a scary, stalker-ish way. but in an artistic, have-nothing-better-to-do way. everyone dresses up so prettily and there's so much to see!

i wish i had a camera.
my brother left his in his room in mexico so we're without proof of the wonders and horrors that happen here. ooh boy.

reporting: you must all buy a book called doona's london play. it came out in 2006 though. hehe. it's inspirational and entertaining. yay!

came back from dentist. i hate anasthetics... D:

have lovely days~
