The Merciless Ravages of My Mind

My 100th Post

This weekend seemed so short. It's not fair. I hardly spent any time at all having fun. I did some weird things like cleaning out my mom's frig, and some enjoyable things like going for a long, relaxing run. I'm getting to the point where I am missing my Jessica. I had hoped that I would be busy enough to miss out on that for a few months. It has been less than one month. Five more to go.
Me and my daddy filled out my housing contract next year. I'm excited and scared silly at the same time. I mostly just want a change. This semester has been so monotonous. I really don't want to think about being only one month into it. Ugh. Life seems like it is going so slow.
I made some money this weekend, which is good because my money is running out. Which brings me into my next topic. I am starting to think about getting a job for this summer and possibly for the following year. My dad thinks it should be something like an internship, but I would have no idea what to look for. I don't know what I am doing yet! He gave me an ultimatum: get a job or take a paper route. I don't want to get up early anymore, so I will try to find a job.

My thoughts are all over the place. Three places to post is too many. Several events have happened of late that brought back some good memories. Jessica's dance competition was one. I miss performing for those sooooo much. I also miss her and her family. They were all really good to me. They were so different from my family. In truth, I've never found a family quite like mine. It's very strange how unique we are. I think I may run around in my cheer uniform for fun this summer, if it still fits. I'm not exactly sure how the freshman fifteen are coming along. I went to the doctor last month and my weight was the same as it was my senior year. Although my clothes don't fit the same, I don't think I've gained any weight. I've lost a ton of muscle since I'm not lifting people over my head anymore.
I need to buy new towels, mine got kinda bleached, and don't look so good. Instead of a uniform grey, they are sorta orange-ish. Not very attractive. Walmart has some really bright and happy towels.
So, did you know there is 10% alcohol in Nyquil? I didn't either, until I got sick. Nasty stuff it is. And it doesn't knock me out. For instance, I went to bed at 12 last night, and I woke up around one thinking it was time to get up. Then I proceeded to wake up every hour. Stupid stuff. I need sleep to help me recover and to focus in class. I can't fall asleep in History again. That wasn't a good idea.
I've been toying with the idea of cutting and dying my hair. It is getting far too bushy and I am sick of my color. It is so blah in the winter time. In summer, it's a bold redish hue, but now its dull and unpretty. So, I was thinking a dark chocolatey brown. And just a few inches off with some heavy thinning. Oooooh that would feel so good. We'll see though, cause I'm a little hard pressed for cash right now.

I am slowly dehydrating. I woke up this morning with a heavy nosebleed. I am already losing gallons of fluids from a runny nose. Then I was teasing my Boo and he scratched me and I bled a lot. I've had fevers for the last two nights and that makes me sweat a lot. I don't drink enough water or juice. I don't like them. Therefore, I am losing more liquids than I am taking in. Oh the joys of being sick.
I got dehydrated at camp once. It was not pleasant. I got all shaky and passed out. Then I fell off the top bunk onto a concrete floor. So, being as I don't want to feel like that again, and even though wood is softer than concrete, I shall drink something.
