College

Recently, I've been looking at colleges all around the country and submitting my information to get information sent to me in the mail. so far, I've only got one packet in the mail (from UofO) but as i've given info to over 20 schools, i figure i should be expecting more very soon. My top 3 schools are still:

University of Oregon
University of Alaska, Fairbanks
University of Puget Sound

the third one is new, but while submitting info to them i've fallen in love with the look and programs the school has :)

Pre-Break Drama

So the problems in Journalism class have just gotten worse, i've been openly yelled at while the teacher stood there and pretended not to see. This isnot something anyone should have to take, no student should feel uncomfortible in a class because everyone (execpt like 3) hate her. I've taken this up with my family as well as made an appointment to take this up with my counciler and the vice principle. My mom as well is going to be calling the VP and expressing her concern about this. as much as i don't want to have to do all this. i'm not letting those bitches get away with it. that's not the way you treat a person for missing 2 classes due to being sick and Family emergencies. if this means Drama, oh let the Drama start.

Flu in December

Just like every year, I have already gotten my yearly flu. For the last 3 days I've been coughing and sneezing and feeling like i wanted to sleep the day away. Now that I'm back at school I've been feeling a little better, but I don't like getting yelled at for being sick. my friend tells me the people in my Journalism class were "Out for my blood" yesterday when i didn't come to class. well that's just to bad, i'm not comming to school as sick as i was and i shouldn't be expected to scheduel my sickness around their lifes. So of course, while i was gone the photo editor took the only assignment she had given me and done it herself so this issue, i won't have any photos in the paper. And to make it worce, auditions started yesterday and i can't sing :( Mr. Jacobs seems to understand though and I'm sure I'll still get a Daughter part.

Bad Day :(

Normally, I'm not one to complain much when I have bad days, I normally keep my feelings bottled up and use the emotion in my stories I write...unless it's really bad. Today hasn't been the worst day I've ever had, but it's totally on the Top Ten list for the school year so far. I went to bed last night with a headache, and woke up with an even worse headache. I had to walk to school in the cold with Charlee who insisted the frost on the ground was really snow and was very loud about it. And then one of my friends decided to take something i said way to literial and got upset with me when infact i was just joking and anyone else would have gotten the joke... if you (and you know who you are) are reading this, I'm sorry for ranting about you, but sometimes when you say you're having a worse time then someone else, maybe you should have them explain their situation before you assume. (and we all know what they say about people assuming things)

Back into ranting about my day, on the way to my first period of today (English), I fell really hard while walking up the stairs infront of a lot of people. i hurt my right Knee very bad to the point where it's already givven out on me twice today and i banged my head on the floor to the point where I'm starting to doubt if my headache will ever go away.

It's been one of those days where i just want to go home right away and curl up under my very soft pink blanket that i found hidden under the stairs and sleep until tomorrow. *sighs*

Pirates Of Penzance

GWSH was an amazing show and I am so proud of all m very talented friends who put it on. Next week are auditions for the Winter Musical, Pirates of Penzance :) The reason that I am so excited for this is becasue i get to be in this play. i'm not exactally sure which part I will get. I think playing Ruth would be fun but i think honestly i'd rather just be one of the daughters, but one with a name, like Edith or Kate. Sure, I'm not the best singer... but i'm not terrible, and I'm comfortible singing infront of people so that should count for something, right? Wish me luck. :D

Happy Thanksgiving to All

Seeing as this will be my last post until after Thanksgiving, I'm taking now to say to everyone that i wish them a happy holiday. my house is going to be full of people. sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins. i can't even imagine it, that's how full it is going to be. wish me luck :P

George Washington Slept Here

GWSH is a play about a 40's family who moves from the city into a house in the middle of no-where. the House they moved into is famous for being a place where George Washington slept, but soon the family finds out he really didn't.

The reason i bring up  this play is becasue this is the current play my high school is putting on. last night was opening night and i hear from all my friends that it went great. I'm going tonight and i'm super excited :)

Bella's 10th Birthday!

Over the Long weekend we had a bitrthday party for Isabella, who will be 10 on November 28th. I'm so proud of my baby sister :) Along with the poncho i made for her she also recieved a blanket with Justin Beiber on it and a new Monster High Doll as well as a Tinkerbell Game for her DSI. All in all, it was a pretty good day. I got to see my family and at one point we had 8 children crammed into our not-so-large- family room, but it was nice to see them all.

Plans for the Future

"The Future is a big place..."

This is very true, yet i feel mine creeping up on me every day. each day i find myself wondering about my future, how will i end up? what will become of me? Is college something i even want to concider or do i want to take another path? I have no idea what is ahead of me, it seems on good days, I can't wait to get into college and have the freedom, I'm graduating early becasue even my parents can see public school is not right for me. Last night I think we seriously talked about home schooling (i say i think becasue sometimes when i'm serious, i can't tell that they're not). if i lived with my grandma in Alaska, i'd be home schooled. I'd have a better time trying to graduate early if i were. 

In my Avid class, we are doing carrer research, i don't know what to look up. I love photography and it pays well enough, but can i see myself doing it for my whole life? what about writing? Sure, i write everyday and I'm flawless at grammer (When i'm not ranting on my blog :P) but do i want people to read my writing? do i want to publish books or write for a newspaper? 

Oh the confusion!!

Halloween

Sadly, on halloween it's self i had a headache and was stuck at home all drugged up and sleepy hopping it would go away. But that's alright becasue my daddy bought me some candy to make me feel better :) Anyway, For the people who weren't sick, Halloween seemed to go well for my family. Ally took Charlee out and they were gone for about an hour.
Ally was a fairy and Charlee was a cat. :)

We also made carmeled apples with Charlee and Bella


And Bella and I took our christmas card photo
All in all, it was a good weekend :)

Read Day

As much as I love Journalism... I really hate having to write stories that aren't interesteing to me. Currently i'm writing a news peice about the Read Day that just happened yesterday on October 26th 2011. It was a day for students to go to the library -ditch first and third period- and lay around on couches and read for like 3 hours. It sounds cool, and i was going to go, but writing about something that was so uneventful and quiet is really hard. :( I'll post the story once i finish...

Taking Pictures of Fog (10-27-11)

Today while walking toward school in the fog i thought it would be cool to get our my Nikon P500 and take some pictures. this is what I got:


Doesn't it kind of look like it's snowing? this is the coolest thing and it made me smile becasue of how amazing it looks. :)

Of Mice and Men

Recently, I read the book, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. I found this book both very entertaining and very inspiring. However I have to admit the ending took me by supprise. It made me think about the friends that I have and what friends would do that for me if I was in that kind of trouble. I'm very thankful for all my friends and everythinhg they do for me, even if they wouldn't go as far as to kill me as George did for Lennie. love you all :)

Nature

It's Fall. The leafs are orange and yellow and red, the weather is colder and you can see your own breath. it's beautiful outside and halloween is drawing near. As we come into this season, there are a lot of things to look forward to. this year is drawing to it's close and 2012 is on it's way. I love this time of year. i love the cold weather and the colors, it's a nice time before it gets to the freezing, gray season of Winter. But I am looking forward to being 16 :P

July 4th 2011

Oh my gosh, Camping is really not all that fun when you don't really know anyone you're camping with. My grandma's friends are okay, i guess, but they're all older and they treat me like I'm 11... plus, it was freezing at the beach and i could never get warm. A bee also stung my ear, yeah, my ear. It really hurts!!! AHHHH! I'm so bored and tired. I've been thinking about some new chapters for my story but i still haven't got a name yet. But I'm working on it.

Alaska

So I'm here in Homer Alaska. And I've got a great idea for a new story about a small tribe of Seldovian natives. help out with ideas and comments please.

So MC (Main Character-name to come) (teen girl 16-17) moves to Homer Alaska after having a fight with her parents. She meets a bunch of the native boys and slowly finds out they're werewolves. She also realizes she has to marry one of them because there are only 10 Seldovian girls this generation and in order for more wolves to be born a Seldovian male must mate with a Sledovian female.

I haven't decided about the main conflict yet, but how does it sound so far? any good? Please comment, subscribe and email me at alishastar1234@gmail.com if you would like to be an Aurthur of this blog. ;)
