Merry Christmas to All!

I'd like to take a moment to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday.

Now to rant about my own.
Well nothing has been going great. Not to say that everything's been horrible, but I'm just very disappointed.

First, no one's remembered my birthday. Not even one of my best friends. That was incredibly sad. Then on my birthday everyone else was out while I stayed at home alone.

So on Christmas Eve, most of my cousins were missing from the usual family festivities and that doesn't make it anymore fun.

And then there's today. I slept at 2 AM last night telling myself that I'm going to sleep until 8 because if it's any later then presents won't be quite as fun. I ended up waking 2 hours later at 4 AM with a horrible stomach ache and I ran to the restroom to vomit out last night's dinner. An hour later I repeated the action, then 45 minutes after that, then 30, then 15 and by that point I was dry-heaving. One of the unpleasant physical feelings ever. I ate 2 crackers and some green tea, but I also lost that. I eventually fell asleep around 7:30 only to be woken half an hour later by an eager family. I told them what I had been doing all morning and that I shouldn't go downstairs because my 3 younger cousins might get sick. My mother said just not to touch anyone, it's probably some sort of food poisoning from last night's dinner (I was the only one in my family that ate the salmon) and so I made my way downstairs to open gifts. I had about 8. Not to sound greedy, but I was expecting more. I mean, that's why I wait until Christmas day to open all my gifts, so I can have fun opening a lot. Well after opening them, and some were really great, I had to run back to the toilet to dry-heave some more. I fell asleep after that, and my mother came at noon to ask if I would be able to go to the family party, which is about an hour away. I told her that I didn't think I could do it, and they all left. I awoke at about 1:30PM to an empty house.

And after trying on and messing with the presents I received today I am lonely and sad.
What a horrible holiday.

AYNO, TECHNOLOGY.

Things at school do not get any easier. It would appear that certain teachers like to give tests and timed essays on days with shorter schedules. Due to today's Winter Sports Rally, all classes were about ten minutes shorter. But knowing that next week is the last week of school for the year (2008, I mean) my teachers have decided to spring out the tests now.

But let me tell you about our rally. As every rally, it has a theme. But this time the theme was somewhat disgusting: Fast Food. Not to say that I've never eaten fast food, or that I hate it, but fast food is bad. Every once in a while might be acceptable, but otherwise, you might want to have your cholesterol and blood sugar tested. Every class [year: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012] had it's own restaurant to expand on the theme. There was Mcdonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, Carl's Jr. and In-N-Out. The school is practically telling these kids where they should be eating. Later, there was a Class Competition Game. This game involved four Happy Meals from Mcdonald's and the participants were racing to see who would finish the meal the fastest. I'm not someone who eats fast food much, and that game was one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. I bet that guy who eats hotdogs has more finesse and would probably think twice before eating a greasy patty.

Well after school today, I had to work on a film group project. Us four girls make up The English Kids and although we do get into some arguments (I think the Silent types are the worst), are always distracted and just are too busy to meet up, we always get the work done. In the making of this film project we used a DVD Camcorder thingymabobber. My dad had been telling me what an amazing tool it is. And after days of recording our video my friend and I found that it is very difficult to switch those files onto another cd, or even a memory stick. I am pissed because I had just wanted the video recorder that records onto a memory stick, but noooo. Freaking technology is inconsistent. But I guess parents are too. And teachers. And school.

And to quote the character I play in our video; "This sucks, and you know it."

Tired.

Well it's the first whole week of school in 3 weeks and I am freaking tired. All I want to do is go to bed and not wake up for 4 days. This is probably because for the last 4 nights I've been studying for today's history test. But now that it's done I feel relief that it's over, but this had taken so much energy and I am completely pooped.

Not to say I hate history, but this is like the most difficult class ever. English is probably even more difficult, but I just really like English. The thing about history is that it never stops. It is expected that a student learn in depth of past events, but the more you learn, the more you have to learn. It takes days to learn it all, and in those days history is still occurring. There is no end, and I feel sympathetic to my future grandchildren's grandchildren. Because I can only imagine how many events will occur in those coming years.

But while it's happening, I'd like to be prepared. So I'm going to bed. EARLY!! :DDDD
