Apostrophe

I'm pretty sure things are starting to get better. Midterms are over and that basically means the hard part of senior year is done with.

Last night I had a lot of fun. AF, JS, and I went to the city last night and went to MoMA where we saw some French film. It was a great reprieve from how hellish this has been. Tonight should be awesome too. KG is having a Sex and the City party and even though I'm not really a fan of the show, hanging out with my friends will be awesome.

So um, I have a lot of updates from the past week or so

1. After getting to know crush girl a lot better, I find her extremely annoying. She really wants to come off as cool and edgy but it's really just attention whorish and she never stops talking about herself. I'm totally over her.
2. Janet and I have decided that she is Shane and I am Dana (without the breast cancer).
3. I have been sick for the past week, which really sucks especially since midterms are next week.
4. I got into University of New England with a scholarship but I really don't want to go there.
5. I had a major freak out tonight when I realized that my grades will hinder me from getting into any of my top choice schools.
6. (Probably the most serious) Last Thursday my grandmother had a stroke and just got out of the hospital and on Monday my grandfather got sick and is in the hospital. My dad is going down to Florida to visit my grandfather next week and my mom has been spending most of her time with my grandmother.
   

So yeah, I'm really horribly stressed out lately and I'm pretty depressed. I really don't feel like there is anything good to look forward to in the coming weeks and I can't wait until school is over.

On The Counter

God must love irony. Why? Because since Janet has been home from break (and I have lost all desire to be with her) we have been hanging out so much more than we ever were when I had a huge crush on her. During December break we hung out almost everyday, which compared to when she was still in high school is like 1000x more. We've become much closer friends and we've both learned a lot more about each other.

I hope I'm not coming off as bitchy or something because I do really like that our friendship has strengthened but why couldn't this happen a year ago when I had a thing for her. Now she's in a secret relationship with one of my friend's sexually confused younger sister (not the same girl she was dating in December) and I'm preoccupied with crush girl.

Speaking of crush girl, I will be seeing a lot more of her now because building crew has started. Today was the first day and I already feel like I'm making progress with her. We talked a lot and she didn't want to leave when her ride came. Go progress.

Now I'm off to finish my APES lab.

Age Of Spitting

I've been neglecting this blog a bit. Oops.

Holiday break is over and it's pretty upsetting. I had so much fun hanging out with my friends and family last week. Some of the highlights were:

• Inviting SZ and RK over my house for Christmas eve and having the most Jews could have on Christmas
  
• Going to a park with JS, AF, and SB and trying to start a fire then going to a tea house, and finally ending up at SB's house with MN and Janet as well watching Titanic
• Getting dinner with JS, AF, RM, and JR at Cosi's and getting a suprise birthday ice cream from the waiter, then losing my bubble tea virginity, and playing Rock Band until midnight
• My birthday party, which included a lot of frank discussion about sex, playing Rock Band, and staying up until five am.
• Going to the city with AF, JS, and Janet and getting my lip pierced at St. Mark's Place and hanging around Washington Square Park and Union Square Park until we headed back to Janet's house to watch the ball drop.

I can't believe it's already 2008. Soon I'll find out whether I get into either College of the Atlantic or Lewis & Clark, and then I'll graduate and then I'll have the best summer ever with all of my friends.

Life is going by so fast.

Malarie's Mission

So not much has been going on in my life lately. School's been the same. Friends have been the same. So not too much to report on those fronts.

I do have minor reports on the dating front though. RK and JS want to set me up with HW, who I met at KG party in September and I'm up for it cuz I think I should put myself out there. It will probably fall through like most set ups do but whatever.

Anyway, crush girl hugged me on Monday although I do have to admit my feelings toward her are waining.

Well that's about it.

Stale Laughter Fake Smile Soup

What can I say about life right now? Let's see. College applications are all in. It's just a waiting game now and I wish it was April so I would know if I got into either of my top choices. I've been playing guitar a lot. I posted songs online and now someone wants to book me at their bar. I haven't replied. RK got into her second choice college. I think she's the only person I'm going to truly miss once I end up at college. She's been like a sister to me for the past 13 years.

Anyway, my friends and I recently started an online tv series (our second, if you can believe it) and I'm in charge of editing. I love it. Firing up final cut and turning our crap into something watchable is so rewarding. When I was working on the documentary, I hated editing but that may have been because I was working with two people who didn't allow me to have any input. I love marine biology but I fear that I may gravitate more towards multimedia in college.

Not much else is going on in my life. 18 days until I'm 18. I'm still single and hating it. It's even worse now that Janet has a girlfriend. I am over her but the fact that when I liked her she was so anti-relationship and now has found a girl to challenge that kinda stings. But whatever, I've got crush girl to keep me occupied.

No Surprise

I got my first acceptance letter, to my safety school, University of Hawaii. They gave me a scholarship and put me in the honor's program so my dad is all team Hawaii now. I really don't think that I'm gonna go there unless I don't get into either Lewis and Clark or College of the Atlantic but I really hope that doesn't happen. Hawaii is way too expensive (although Honolulu's Chinatown is really nice).

I feel really bad for RK though because she got wait listed for her top choice. I automatically assumed she would get in despite some drops in her grades over the past few years. I really hope she does get in. I don' t want her to be forced to go to a school she doesn't like.

Anyway, on Friday there was major drama involving SB and basically everyone got really really pissed off at her but it was remedied on Saturday when a few of us hung out sans SB.

I should get some rest. I need to get unsick.
