Getting Over October's Overture

Dear everyone,

I woke up this morning more exhausted than I've been in almost a month! Yesterday (from the time I'm writing this), Sunday, was the day the creative writer majors, musical theater majors, and a few others went on a required (not entirely) field trip down the hill. We drove in two big buses that held about fifty or sixty people each (neither one was full) for almost three hours, and I forgot to bring a book! It didn't matter much since I had people to talk to. Anyway, the field trip was to see Pride and Prejudice, the play. It was amazing! Although, according to my British teacher Andrew, their accents were totally shitty. I didn't think so, but of course he would be a much better judge on that.

On Saturday I had Algebra (eww), which is getting harder every day. As with the rest of my academics. And art. So, yeah... then I went to town, where I bought lots of snacks and a few other nick nacks. This include $3.50 worth of 25cent lollipops, Pocky and a very cool light that I can use to read at night; my roommate sometimes gets stressed when the big lights are on in the room. I skipped dinner that night, and was in my room for quite a while. Then, while computing (of course!), I heard a bunch of girls in the hallway singing Disney songs, and before too long, went out to join them. Long story short, we're creating a sort of tradition. I gave them lollipops. :)

Now wait, I'm going backwards, aren't I? Well, it's a bit hard for me to remember the details from the week. I know that at some point the opportunity to get a Mac computer was introduced to me. I was thrilled, of course, beyond words. Macs are right up there with chocolate and writing - what can I say? - I'm addicted. I have my parents to thank, blah blah blah, but that isn't really what you want to be reading about, is it? I'm definitely going to give my soul in parts to whoever helps me get this laptop. Of course, my soul is limited now that I've given most of it away to those of you who donated to me for going to Idyllwild. Plus my friend Ava, who has stolen my soul at least eight times on the Internet.

Anyway, my week was fun, but of course some of it wasn't. I don't particularly like having to work... I mean, I do, but I don't. It really depends on what I want to do or learn. Like, for World Cultures class, I spent about two hours making ten different maps of India so that I could memorize the things we were suppose to memorize geographically. It's a damn good booklet of maps, if I do say so myself. :) Of course, I can't ever spend that much time trying to memorize something. Ever again. I swear I got more homework today than I've had in two years. That's what I should be doing at the moment... but I want to finish this blog for you people!

Another good thing about the week was that I finally purchased sweatpants. Now I won't get points off in P.E.! And something else, a little bit annoying, is that the boots my mom ordered me did not fit. :( Have to get new ones... curse my big American feet. In town one of my Chinese friends bought some boots and she was like size six. See that alliteration? Take that, Karin (my Intro to Lit teacher)! I'm getting sidetracked. I'm very tired. I've actually found that eating three meals a day gives me very much energy indeed.

That's a message there for all you kiddies! Eat your breakfast, have scrambled eggs! As much as you can fit down your throat without choking! And eat lunch! THAT'S A MESSAGE TO YOU, SOPHIE. BREAKFAST AND LUNCH. AND DINNER.

There's a reason why they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. (Rhyme!!! :))

I would write more, because I certainly have much left to say, but alas, I must keep you wanting more, yes? So, my dear everyone, I must say goodbye and goodnight again. I hope you have a wonderful day/night/ whatever's-in-between!!

Love,
Callie
