Concussion

On Friday morning, I hit my head against a metal ledge when standing up in the school hallway, which resulted in another concussion. While still feeling a bit dizzy today, Monday, I'm quite used to this sort of pain, because I am quite accident prone. I only had a total of four hours of sleep since Thursday night, and sitting here blogging, I am absolutely exhausted, and all I want to do is curl up at home and sleep. Sadly, that just isn't possible, seeing as I've missed so much school due to illness and I have a bowling match after school. Well, it's almost time to go! And it's almost lunch time! =]

Why Is It a Sin To Read For Fun?

I believe that any form of reading is good for you, and unlike what was said in the article about some books being better for you than others, I believe that only you know what books are good for you, you should read the ones that you enjoy. Reading is more enjoyable if you find a book that holds your interest, or even if it's on a topic that interests you, such as sports or music.

Only you know what kind of book is right for you, and following the crowd and reading popular titles such as Twilight may not be what's right for you. The more well written the book is, and the more interesting the plotline, the more likely you are to read it.

I don't believe that it is a sin for fun, and contrary to popular belief, I don't think that novels today are taking away from classic literature, it's just that the generation today has more appreciation for current day novels.

Winter Break

This past winter break was probably the most eventful one, thus far. I was hardly ever home and never without plans. We had sleepovers every night, went bowling and to the movies and had an all around great time every day.

The weather was always cold, perfect for hot chocolate and cuddling in front of the fireplace, watching movies and talking. Not a lot of sleep was had, which makes starting school up again difficult.

Most nights I spent at the houses of my best friends and other nights they spent at my house. I didn't see much of my brothers or parents over break being as busy as I was, but I always kept in touch with phone calls, emails, and texts.

My friends and I sang and danced and played board games, anything to keep us occupied. We watched an entire season of LOST in one night and played intense rounds of Frisbee Golf on the wii at 5 o'clock in the morning.

We stayed out of trouble, and had fun with the little money we each had.

Overall, this past winter break was amazing, and I'm sad to see it end. But now I have s0mething to look forward to... the weekend.

Writer's Block

I'm not really a huge fan, I must say.

I hate starting something, and really liking it but then getting to a point where I just don't know what else to say but I know it's nowhere near finished. That getting stuck, writer's block feeling is the absolute worst.

I need some music to get me out of this fix.

Well...

It's almost 2 am, and I find myself unable to fall asleep. So, I figured, "hey, why not blog about it?" Then I decided, if I blogged all about my inability to sleep, I would be a very boring person indeed. So, instead, I'll just type and see where my mind takes me.

Eh. Christmas is coming up! So much shopping to do, so little time. I'm definitely looking forward to Winter Break though, and seeing my extended family, and having cupcakes and tons of sleepovers. Ahh, life is good.

Let's see, I have to make cookies for our Portuguese Club Christmas Party on Friday, and then get ready for having the four best friends over right after. Oh dear, so much to doooo. I need to start making myself a list or something.

I still have six tests to make up from being absent but sadly my afternoons are typically filled with bowling matches and various clubs. I don't know when I'm going to fit all of this innn. Oh gosh.

Hmm. Hootie and the Blowfish is trying to sing me to sleep right now. <3
I approve, I approve greatly. :)

Rain!

It's pouring right now.

Like, literally raining buckets.

I'm thrilled. :]

Surgery

After battling sickness for ten weeks now, I had surgery today. I actually woke up this morning in a fantastic mood, the best I've felt in the past few weeks, physically and emotionally, minus the thirst and hunger of course. And even at the surgery center, the nurses questioned my sanity as they deemed me much too happy for a teenager in my position, but honestly I felt like I was walking on air. It may have had a bit to do with the cute good luck texts I received from a certain best friend and a certain "husband" of mine, but also, I just felt like I was finally doing better.

I'm not silly enough or naive enough to believe that I had gotten any better over night, however, seeing as I've had this feeling a number of times over these weeks and I always end up going full circle.

After the surgery I woke up to a screaming pain in my side and a cramping in my stomach, droopy eyes with the inability to swallow, but naturally, all I wished for was a bite to eat. Nothing a soft pretzel and some chicken pot pie soup couldn't fix, I might add.

I'm feeling much better at the moment, minus the still sore throat and inability to swallow, but that I can deal with. And hopefully soon enough, all will be figured out and I'll be healthy once again.

I leave you now on this note, goodnight, dear readers [though I know you are few and far between], and I shall blog again soon. :]
