Day 73

So I got these shoes, and I really like them, but they gave me blisters on my heels, don't all flats do that they first time you wear them?

Day 72

This is a really cute skirt I got from Target a few weeks ago, but I haven't been able to wear it due to lack of cooperation from the weather. But eventually, I'll get to wear it!

Day 71

On Friday I had a day off, so I went to the DOL to take my written. I had originally planned on being there right when it opened at 8:30, but since the unexpected late night due to pep band, I didn't get there until 10:30ish, so I wait there for about 2 and a half hours before I take my test. Ugh. Luckily, I passed, so I will be taking my driving test on April 2nd!

Day 70

This is a shirt my aunt and uncle got me as a "happy birthday"/"yay! you made the tennis team" gift. It was green AND said Seattle AND had tennis on it. It was actually in the men's section, so it's a little big, but I wear it anyway.

OH I have a quick but horrible story. On Wednesday, I had pep band because my school's girls basketball team made it to the state tournament. Well, they won that game so they had another one on Thursday. So it's supposed to start at 8:30, we get there and sit for a while when they tell us that there's been a delay. A game earlier in the day had gone into double overtime, so everything was late. We ended up watching the second half of a game, another game, and THEN our game, which didn't start until 10:30 (this is pm by the way). So it doesn't end until midnight and by the time we get back to school, (we were in Tacoma), it's 1:00 in the morning. It was AWFUL. Luckily, we had Friday off. :)

Day 69

This day was my birthday! (March 10) Now, I am 17 years old. These are two things I got for my birthday, new converse and a key necklace. :) It was a pretty good day, but I had school, then tennis, then pep band and didn't get home until 10-ish :(. But it was still good! My mom made me these delicious chocolate and peanut butter cupcakes, YUM. Ooh! I also got (500) Days of Summer. :) Okay, the end.

Day 68

This is Luke Skywalker. I got him from one of my friends a few years ago just for fun.

Day 67

These are some new sandals I got for the spring, unfortunately I have been unable to wear them as of yet.

Day 66

Ummm. A red crayon. The end.

Day 65

Ugh. Sorry I'm so late again. I suck. But anyway, these are two small pictures I bought when I was in Ireland two years ago (almost exactly). My school's marching band went to Ireland for 10 days to march in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Dublin, (which was SUPER cool, by the way). So, it being March, I was just reminded of Ireland, and how sometimes I miss it.

Day 64

I randomly found string in my room and I'm not sure where it's from. So now I'm making a bracelet.

Day 63

Oh, p.s. I tried out for the tennis team this year at my school, and made it! Yay.

Day 62

I like clouds.

Day 61

The bow on my yellow headband.

Day 60

A leaf my sister picked up for me a while ago, but I haven't gotten rid of.

Day 59

New earrings!

Day 58

YAY COST PLUS! Except I realized that the Mint Aeros are significantly more delicious than the regular chocolate ones. Just FYI.

Day 57

Pretty flowers.

Day 56

Something I got for my name day. I love these little buttons from Fuego; they're so funny!

Day 55

Sorry in advance for the onslaught of late updates. I've been busy/lazy. I suck. Sorry. It's registration time! SCARY!

Day 54

Also boring, but it's a name thing I got from my grandma when I was really little, and a fairy that my sister made me when we were 8 and 10-ish years old. She got a fairy making kit for her birthday or something. And it's yellow. I like yellow.

Day 53

Boring, I know. But, GO SWEDEN!

Day 52

I got these new sun glasses yesterday at JC Penney. I like them a lot. I only got to wear them one day though, because now it's been cloudy again, though it was really sunny over the weekend. ALSO it was a good day for hockey! USA beat Canada and Sweden beat Finland! I usually don't like hockey, but I do like the Olympics.

Day 51

So today was The Deep End at Seattle Temple. It's pretty much a teen worship time with a special guest speaker; (Jim Sparks this year). It was very good. And we got these cards at the end.

Day 50

Okay, so pretty much I don't have a good picture for today. Earlier, I tried to take a picture of the sunset on the mountains, but it didn't work out. So then, I saw the moon in it's smiley-ness, but this didn't turn out all that well either. Sigh. Oh well.

Day 49

Today I went to UW with Emily and we got a tour from Hil Lyons. Then when Amanda's classes were finished we went to U Village. We ate Noah's Bagels and went into H&M. Then afterward I went to see Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, which was pretty good. It didn't follow the book very closely though, which made me wonder, wouldn't it be easier to follow the book? They've got the whole plot line laid out for them, why would they make up a totally new one? It just doesn't make sense to me. It was still a pretty good movie, though.

Day 48

Wow, sorry that I just totally suck at posting. On Wednesday was my actual name day, and I got these socks! I'm sure I'll need them at some point...

Day 47

Today we did nothing. But we went to Costco and I got the first season of Glee! YAY. It was for good grades/name day (which is tomorrow). A name day is something they have in Sweden. On the calendar they have one or two names on every day of the year, and February 17th is Alexandra day!

Day 46

Today I got to hang out with Emily Birks! And Amanda. We went to see Valentine's Day, and then came back to my house to make a sand castle cake, (as seen above). Then we watched 17 Again, which was really good. YAY!

Day 45

Day ten of Love: Happy Valentine's Day! It was about 1 degree this morning, and NOT in Celsius! Today was the Sunday morning service and then we were shipped of to wait at the airport for hours. Literally. We got there at 2:00 and our flight wasn't until 7:35. It was horrible because the Billings airport had about 5 gates and one restaurant. At one point there were only eight people, (not including workers), in the whole airport. Five of them being TYB members. Ugh. But at least it was a nice and toasty 48 degrees when we got off the plane in Seattle.

Day 44

Day nine of Love: snow heart! On Saturday we went to the Bilings Corps, and rehearsed, and then we had a brass clinic with the kids at the corps. Most of them were very new to playing, two months at the most. Then we went to a senior center for a short concert where they had this delicious Mardi Gras punch. Then we went to Montana State University- Billings for an Advisory Board dinner and concert. After that, we got back to the hotel at around 9:00-ish, and there was a Denney's a few blocks away, so a few of us braved the cold and went to Denney's. On the way back, a few of us decided to play in the snow :).

Day 43

Day eight of Love: This was taken late at night, I almost forgot to take a picture. So today we left for Billings Corps at around 8:300-ish. We rehearsed from 9:00 until 12:30, then had an hour for lunch. Then we pretty much rehearsed until 5:00. At five we did some community service. Half of us went around Billings feeding people out of a canteen truck. The other half got to go with one of the kids from the corps to Walmart and go shopping for new clothes. It was really good, but I was really tired afterward!

Day 42

Day seven of Love: written on hotel stationary. Today I went to Montana. Specifically Billings. Here are a few facts about Billings. It is the largest state in Montana, 1/9 of the population, actually, with 100,000 people. Crazy! It was small. And it was also very cold and snowy.

Day 41

Day six of Love: kisses! Sorry I have to catch up, I was in Montana over the weekend and then was just lazy.

Day 40

Day five of Love: This was hard to do because the headphones kept twisting out of the heart shape. And they kinda blend into the music. Oh, well. Only another day and a half until break! YAY!

Day 39

Day four of Love: I tried something new, but it turned out 'meh'. Today was Monday, ugh. But I had my camp interview, which I think went pretty well. And I only have Tuesday, Wednesday, and half of Thursday before I got to TYB, and then Mid-Winter Break!

Day 38

Day three of Love: Again, a heart. I'll think of something... I still have another week.

Day 37

Day two of Love: Silver heart necklace. I'm not being very creative with this love thing. All I can think about is various hearts. Hm.

Day 36

On the first day of love, my valentine gave to me: one red heart.

Btw, I changed plans, I thought it through, and realized it would be SO complicated. So, nevermind.

Day 35

This is a REALLY cute hat I got for Christmas. Unfortunately, it hasn't been cold enough to wear it. Fortunately, I'm going to Montana next week, where it's sure to be cold!

Day 34

So this isn't very good/creative/exciting, but it was late at night, and I remembered this ring I have. It's super cute, but I got it at Claire's, so it's kinda rusty.

Day 33

This is a parody of Twilight my friend is lending me, which is super funny so far.

Day 32

So firstly, I like the store Fuego a lot. We went to the mall on our downtime during the Brass Band Festival on Saturday, and we went into Fuego and bought earrings and headbands. These were my two favorites, (yellow, of course).

Day 31

Things I decided today: I need a new earring tree/holder thing and I need to get rid of some of those earrings

Day 30

I forgot to say on the other post that I'm sorry that I'm kinda behind. But Saturday was the Northwest Brass Band Festival, but this was at home. A bowl of fruit; that's artistic-y, right?

Day 29

I drew this during Physics, when I finished my final, which I'm hoping went well. I did find out that I got an A on APUSH, though. :)

Day 28

Today I did three finals, Pre-Calculus, Spanish and APUSH. YAY! And yet, here I sit again studying for my Physics final, and working on a speech about rhetorical devices in "A Streetcar Named Desire" for English. Sigh.

Day 27

Finals. Ugh. This was yesterday at around 11:30pm. I was studying for three finals, Pre-Calculus, Spanish, and APUSH. So tired.

Day 26

I like the clouds :)

Day 25

The semester ends this Friday, and finals are on Thursday and Friday. I was studying for AP U.S. History, and took a picture of my homework sheet. We've been reviewing different things these last few weeks, and tomorrow it's everything from 1607-1920, or Jamestown through the Treaty of Versailles. Oh, dear.
