My life just got more crazy.

So... I was out Tuesday from school... and that was apparently our fist practice. Thankfully, one of my friends, who is in the musical with me, told me about the practice yesterday, so I made it to that one. Now I just have to figure out my schedual for the rest of the practices. They are all mostly from 3:30 to 6:30. Thus giving me less time to do any homework or anything else I need to be doing. Plus, trying to get, and keep, all of my grades to A's... this is going to be fun...

But, I'm excited over all. The preformances are May 13th and 14th and I'm uberly nervous/excited! I just hope my knee heals up before then so I don't have to worry about it and I can do all the moves. But yeah... Thankfully, everything is healing well so far.

In other news, Sr. Sunday and Banquet at church is this sunday. Yay!! I'm excited. Yet, I'm kinda nervous of what they are going to say. O.o lol! Ah well. I'll live. :) Only a few more weeks of high school and then I'm a graduate! ... Who needs a job... Good thing I haven't gotten one yet, though. Or I would have to either quit the job or the musical.. and that would not be cool. Hopefully, I will find one soon after though. I'm just trusting God knows what is best at this point... for everything. :)

A much needed update.

Okay... So Friday I found out that I made it in the musical!!! I am so excited!!! XD I would have posted the news earlier but I went on the combined Jr. high Sr. high retreat this weekend with the church I attend. At any rate, I'm sooo excited.

In more recent news... I got a new bike a week or so ago and I got to finally ride it yesterday! Unfortunately, it decided it needed to meet the gaurdrail on this one hill and thus I had a meeting with the pavement. So, I am currently recovering from the incident and finding more and more bruises. So that's how my last few days have gone. :)

Excitement!

So... I tried out yesterday for the musical. I messed up on the second verse... but everyone I talked to after said I was awesome. And one girl said that when I hit the last note, which is a high note, all their mouths dropped. Yay! And my friend heard me outside of the theater!! Major good sign! I was afraid I was going to have to work on my projection. And now I don't! Woot! Lol! Anyway, I'm excited about that.

Oh! And I went to the ortho yesterday, and my doctor is EXTREMELY impressed. By his schedual, I would get my braces off in August; however, I am getting them off before GRADUATION!! EEE! Right now, the date is set for May 19th. Which is half a week longer than he said. So my mom is going to call and see if they can get me in earlier. I'm so excited!!! *Sings* No braces for graduation! No braces for college! Woot! Lol!

Youtube, how I love thee...

So, I finally found the full broadway musical Beauty and the Beast with the ORIGINAL cast!!! I was so excited! I watched it all today. Unfortunately, it cuts off the very end, which kinda made me mad. At any rate, Susan Egan was WONDERFUL! And it was all on youtube. I love youtube... lol!

In other news, today was less stressful, yet just as tiring, as yesterday. I've decided that I am going to try out on Monday for the musical thing. I'm kind of nervous. I'm going to sing Home from Beauty and the Beast. Though, I thought about doing Belle (reprise) because it has more attitude. Ah well. :) Anyway, I'm excited. And tomorrow, thankfully, is Friday. And Monday I get to plan when I get my braces off!! Yay!! Keep your fingers crossed that it will be soon! Hopefully, near the beginning of May. :)

Well, off to practice!

Later!

The stress that comes from being a Senior.

Grades, parents, church stuff, tests, cars, homework - AH!! All of it seems to pile up! And on top of all of that, thinking about the future and my writing that I want to turn into a carreer! And then I have allergies or something at the moment, so I'm coughing and my nose is all stuffed up and, well, it's just bad.

At any rate, I (thankfully) finished my senior board for church last night. One more thing crossed off the ever growing list. And then my dad was starting to go all crazy on me last night. And then I toss and turn last night with strange dreams hautning me once again. #v.v Oy. Hopefully things will calm down over the next few days.

In other news, our theater teacher has decided on doing a musical that is a combination of many broadway musicals. I think it will be fun and I'm thinking about trying out. Unfortunately, the tryouts are today and monday and I just found out yesterday. Then there is my nasal condition at the moment that is making me a little reluctant. Plus, I'd have to come up with a song to sing and have it ready to perform by Monday. O.o At least I'm thinking about it anyway.

Well, that is really all I have to say at the moment... Perhaps, if I have anything, I'll post tomorrow.

Later.

Guys

So... Tody we had Justin Lucado speak in chapel. I was excited when I heard it was him because I read his book, Dateable. He talked about how guys and girls ate different and gave us a few pointers and some advice... Like "if you would be uncomfortable telling your granny what you did and in detail... You shouldn't do it." He also gave some ideas on how to get out of a situation that feels uncomfortable and how to mess with a guys head. :)

Well, later I heard a girl say that he was stupid and that all guys aren't going to tell everyone everything he does with a girl. So I thought about it and this is my response:

It's true... He won't tell EVERYTHING... just the physical stuff. And he won't tell EVERYONE... just his friends. And okay... So maybe not ALL guys do that... But 99.9% do. So I ask you to ask yourself something... Are you going to listen to yourself, guys who will lie to you to get with you, or someone who isn't afraid to tell you the truth and who has experience about it all?

Personally, I'm taking his advice. And I have ever since I read his book. I am now going to start asking myself what he asks himself: Is it Holy? It is a great question and it's better than, is it okay? Because I don't want to be just okay. God calls us to be different, set apart from the world... HOLY. I know that I am going to mess up... Everyone does. But that shouldn't keep me from striving to be holy. And that is what I intend on doing.

Not off to a good start...

Okay... so I started this in hopes to post everyday. So far, I'm obviously not doing so well. At least I haven't forgotten about it!

Anyway, today has been pretty average. Yesterday... yesterday was a mess. See... my mother grounded me from my car a while ago because I don't have all A's, so now I have a routine set up with my father of how to get back and forth between school and home. Well, he had to do something yesterday and so my mother took my sister and I to school. On our way there, mom decided that she would take me out to lunch, because as a senior I have off-campus lunch. Well, that wasn't the greatest because I usually go ut to lunch with my boyfriend. Though, on the up-side, I did get Ka-ze for lunch instead of fast food...

I then found out that I had the second body paragraph of my research paper for english due today and I hadn't even started! Then my mother decided to pick me and my sister up... which then resulted in us going to Hobby Lobby. Needless to say, I stayed in the car. Well, I fell asleep and they came back thirty minuets later. It was now 5:00.

When we got home, I started on my research paper and started to pull up my other sites that I go onto everyday. I'm a multi-tasker.. it's what I do. Well, my mother comes in and tells me not to... which means not getting on skype with my boy. Thus, I was upset and annoyed. Later that night my mom and I had a small fight and it was just not the greatest day of my life.

I guess it just comes from being a senior... I mean I heard that seniors head-butt with their parents... but right now I feel like I am going to go insane. With all the stress of school and going to college... and on top of that my parents saying that if I don't have all A's before school gets out, not only do I not get my car for the summer, I have to take a college class this summer, and I won't get to take it to college. Not only does that competely stink, it was bumped up from A's and B's last semester to all A's this semester. Their expectations keep rising and I am struggling to keep up.

So, now I am both excited and stressed about graduation. 29 school days to pull my grades up... and until I'm out of highschool. I just want to be able to be myself... is that such a horrible thing?

Ah... Blogs...

I have always wanted to blog... but could never find anything worth writing in one. I've had a few before... mostly on other sites and all ended in epic failure. So, I going to attempt this again.
As my family and friends know, I want to become an author. So, I figured I can use this as something to help my writing skills and perhaps post a few of my works on here. Probably not my stories, perhaps the short ones, but poems, thoughts, or other writings.
At any rate, I hope this goes well.

So long for now,
Elisabeth
