what? huh?

im really starting to dislike the lack of communication that seems to be flooding my life. its at school, at home, and even at church. also, i feel like i dont even know some of my friends anymore. some of them bash their parents and badmouth others all the time, and it's really, really starting to bother me. i dont know why i keep my mouth shut about it around them but i do. something needs to change, and soon.

where has the summer gone

i've been thinking. school starts on wednesday, i have to finish my summer work, and drama will start next week... where did the summer go?? it seems that only yesterday i was running out of those halls with my head high and spirits soaring. i was so excited for summer, and now it's all but gone. i kinda feel like i never even left school. i mean i know that i had an incredible summer, but it's gone by so fast that i feel like it's just been a couple days. it's going to be a big adjustment. getting up at 6:30/7 in the morning, upperclassmen status, the mass amounts of homework, and getting back into the drama scene with practices almost everyday...it should be an interesting week. God willing, it'll all go alright.

After the famous sculptor Thorvaldsen finished his statue of Christ, he invited a friend to view it. The arms of Jesus were outstreched, and his head was bowed between them. The friend said, "I can't see his face." The sculptor replied, "If you would see the face of Christ, you must get on your knees."

ho hum...

they say time flies when you're having fun...well i guess im having a horrible time because today has gone sooo slow. ever have one of those days where you're just going through and nothing is going on? today is one of those days.

flip flops????

i just found out that my school is putting a kind of 'ban' on flip flops. you cant wear shoes that 'you cant keep on'. ok what i dont get is why they're worrying about flip flops when there are girls walking around looking like....well lets just say its disgusting. they have never cracked down on these girls and they're concerned with flip flops. OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AROUND! flip flops are the very least of the dress code problem! i live in flip flops during the school year. hopefully it wont be so strict that we arent allowed to wear them. we'll see. if i get pulled into the office, i am not going to be happy.

twinkle twinkle little star...

lately i've had a facination with the stars. i just want to sit outside and stare at them all night... but lately it's been so cloudy that you can barely see the stars at night. i need to go star gazing before school starts and i barely have the time to breathe let alone watch the stars. it's just a reminder to me of God's power and love. if he cared enough about each and every one of those tiny stars to create them to be sooo beautiful how much more does he care about us?

ok im looking outside now and it's still really cloudy. anyone know a good place to star gaze??
