Whoa There

Since I've been back to school these last two days, I feel like there is a ridiculous amount of stuff to be done. I had to go early today and stay after, and I though I had to stay after for one thing, but then I found there were four teachers I needed to see. Its like all of a sudden there is tons to be done, and a lot to be preparing for. Then I lay it out, there isn't too much, but already I have a quiz to make up, two tests, a book to read and lots of other homework. At the beginning of the year I made a promise to my self, to be in bed by 10:15 every night. I have not decided that is no longer possible, and accept the fact that for the next two months, I'll be tired. Plus I should probably get used to this since next year will be like this all the time. Don't you just love high school?

Last Umph

Pictures from my last vacation-like outing. (I did not personally take any of these, I got them all online)

New sneakers because I only have one pair, and they are still MIA.

A jean shirt! 

New pair of Sperrys since the pair I have are falling apart and hurt my feet.

A light weight circle scarf for the warmer weather. Love my scarves.

List After List

I have never been serious about possibly having OCD, and its not like it is so bad it takes over my life, or that is gets in the way on a day to day basis, but sometimes I think I really have it. I always have this need to make lists, and that there is always things to do. I know I won't look at the list again, and its a waste of paper, but I have to do it. And that need to list things out, even if just in my head, is always there. Even over this vacation, the moment a thought of school came in my head, I had to go though all my classes and list what homework I had to do. What I love about listening to music and painting is that it stops the list making for that period of time. I am probably just over thinking it. I tend to do that too. There is a constant analysis going on in my head, like now. Alright. I'm tired and this post is weird. Good night.

Jetlag to my Advantage

Today I woke up at 4:30am, but instead of that being awful and ruining my day, it was the best thing ever!
 I was able to be inspired by a blog by 5:00am, restart my own blog by 6:00am, and by 8:30am my room was all clean, I was completely unpacked and finished some homework.
 I say that was very productive.
 I even had time to help my mom clean out the bathroom, and make sticky cinnamon rolls by 10:45am.
Then the day slowed a bit... or a lot. I showered and went to get dressed, but I guess since my day was going really well, something had to go wrong. When I went to put together an outfit, I got that feeling that nothing worked, and nothing fit. Such a teenage moment.
I tried on almost every pair of jeans I own (except the ones I was looking for which were in the wash) and changed my outfit too many times to count.
I did my makeup with no smudges and my hair dried nicely, but I just did not want to wear clothes.
Thankfully my mom takes a while to get moving, and I had until 12:30ish to be ready.
[Side note, I somehow, with out wearing my sneakers in a few weeks, misplaced them, and they are still winning a very long game of hide-n-seek]
Our first errand of the day was to buy new sneakers.
I have very messed up legs to say the least, so we only go to this store that is known for helping athletes and people with problems. I'm an ideal customer for them (not the athlete part, the issues part). My mom and I have been getting sneakers there forever, so I knew what I liked and what fits, and we were in and out in 10 minutes.
Next we went to the mall.
My mom had some returns (there always seems to be something to return) in the juniors section of Nordstrom, so I looked around.
My mom has a love of scarves, and found one she really liked. Of course I could wear it too, and "ooh look it comes in different colors."
I tried some things on, and after a battle with a variety of jeans, and a disagreement with some tops, left with a few items. One of which, a jean shirt, has been on my must-have list for a while!
Afterward, we wandered around looking for 344 to return some things to, stopped by the Gap, and grabbed two sandwiches. (I guess Au Bon Pain redid their menu, and the caprese as we knew it is no longer existent, but my picky-eater mom was not informed of this change, and got into a bit of turmoil with the sandwich maker).
Lastly, we stopped by Northface to pick up a new jacket, since the one I had that was white is no longer white, and well... no longer wearable.
We went back to our car (on the way my mom made friends with a three year old) and ate our sandwiches on the way home.
Ok, this is a boring post, so to wrap it up;
I even was able to work out, and get my fave, sushi, for dinner.
 Now I have to clean up my mess from my war with clothes this morning, and get some sleep.
Lets hope I don't wake up at 4:30am again. Or maybe do hope I do since I guess I am more productive in the morning.
Good Night.
P.S. Pictures to come

Little Window

I stopped posting in July of 2011.
At the end of August, I went to Israel to spend a semester on NFTY-EIE.
I came home at the end of December.
I went back to my regular high school at the end of January.
It's now almost May.
I just came home from a visit to Spain.

I truly don't know where to begin. I could talk about Israel, or Spain, or how I don't like public school.
I guess I'll talk about them as them come up, so today I'm just going to rant.

I packed for spain the night before our flight, at 12:30 am.
So when we came home last night, I opened the door to my room to see heaps of clothes and things thrown all over.
Then instead of cleaning it yesterday, I oped to lay in bed and catch up on shows for three hours.
Now it is 7:00 am, I have been up for almost three hours, and I still have not done anything about my mess.
My plan for the day consists of Cleaning, Unpacking, Homework, dreading going to school on Monday and maybe a better post. Sounds like a fun, and hopefully productive day. I will also try and grab my mom's camera card and put up some pictures!

Its Been Too Long

So I Guess my last post was a bit of a lie.
I had planned to blog all about my semester in Israel, but the wifi was practically nonexistent, and I (sadly) didn't take the time to do it.
But I happened to wake up at 4:30 am because of jet lag (I will explain**) and stumbled across a blog that really inspired me.
The blog belongs to a girl that I have know a long time, but haven't really been friends with. I don't know what about her blog hit me so hard, but it was easy to read, moving, and had beautiful pictures.
So I have decided, and hopefully I will stick to my decision, that I want to blog again.
This may take some time, since Blogger changed a bunch since I was last on here.
If I could do a toast with you, Cheers to a new start!

**My sister is on her semester abroad, and for school vacation, my parents and I went to visit her in Spain. We flew back yesterday.
