Super Random Stuff

So the last time I blogged was definitely forever ago. I actually don’t even remember when… even though I could totally just scroll down and see the date. HAHAHA :]
I guess, once again, I don’t really have much to say except maybe a few [maybe a lot of] random things :]
Lent started this past Wednesday and I’ve given up all drinks except water and milk [milk because my mom will kill me if I don't drink it... O___o I'm not exaggerating! She says I'm too short...]. So it’s going well right now. And you know how on Sundays you’re allowed to do/eat/drink/whatnot whatever you gave up? Well, I guess I’ve just decided not to indulge in my thirst so I’m fasting on Sundays too. Because participating in Lent is supposed to be so that we, as Christians, suffer in order to know what Jesus was suffering by giving up something that we enjoy a lot. It’s so that whenever we crave/yearn what we give up, we understand the pain and suffering Jesus went through on the cross for us sinners. In my case, I love coffee and sodas. This past year I’ve become addicted to coffee in order to stay awake, so I’ve given up drinking it for Lent. Water and milk it shall be!
And I signed up for Confirmation classes to be confirmed on Easter. I’m super duper excited about that :]
This past Friday night I posted my first video on facebook of me singing and [failing at] playing the guitar. I definitely need to buy a mic so I can play my piano instead… But anyways, the feedback from everyone has been amazing. I feel that God gave me a talent for music [but I definitely need to hone my skills some more] and that He wants me to use it to glorify Him. And I’m definitely feeling loved and cherished by everyone who’s supported me. It makes me want to post more videos [which I might, I'm not too sure yet]. I just want to thank you all so much :]
SC All-State Orchestra is this weekend [Friday, Saturday, and Sunday]. It’s exciting, especially since it’s my LAST ONE! But unfortunately… it’s on my birthday.. AGAIN. And I’ll be playing my violin for 9 hours that day… JOY! [Can you sense my sarcasm? Hahahaa] I’ve been in All-State since 7th grade.. and this is like the 4th time I’ve had to spend my birthday at All-State… It kinda stinks. But, well, I guess I’m used to it now… kinda.. :/
MY BIRTHDAY IS SATURDAY!!!!! I’M TURNING 18!!!!! AHHHHHH! I’m really excited. Can you tell? Hahahha :] So I’m not really a big fan of my birthday. To be honest, I’ve never really cared to much about it [.. a lot in part because I've never really celebrated it in the past like.. oh 6 years? Mostly because of All-State] But I make a big deal out of everyone else’s birthday. I’m weird, huh? But yea. Since I’m turning 18, I’m kinda excited. It’s like I’m an adult… almost :] But yea. And my mom’s birthday is Sunday!! Yes, I was a born a day before her birthday! Crazyy cool, huh? Plus she’s a twin! But you don’t have to know her age.. :]
I went to The Silver Ring Thing today. It’s basically a Christian rally about staying pure, no sex before marriage. So to all you people out there! WAIT! Don’t make the biggest mistake of your life when in fact it could be the greatest moment of your life :] You don’t want to regret the gift God has given us by throwing it away meaninglessly! But for those of you who have already failed. Don’t be afraid. God always gives second chances to those who are truly repentant! You can start anew :]
And so I was definitely gonna say something else…. but I forgot…. OOPS?! Oh well. Maybe next time :]
But I guess that’s all for today. Lots of rambling… HAHAHAHAA :] Sorry… [Oh have you notice? I laugh a lot... I don't know why... I just love to laugh... O___o]
Okayyy. This is really the end. ~ Peace.
Motivation? …. Hello?

So I definitely haven’t been keeping up with this blog for a while. It’s been like two weeks! But I have so much going on right now… everything is so hectic.
But you know why my life is stressful all the time? I realize that I am such a slacker! I mean, my life is already busy and filled to the brim with church, violin, piano, and school. So all the free time I get, I like to either just sit back and relax, which is basically wasting any extra time that I have, or sleep. I guess to just sum it all up, I bring all this hardship on myself. D:
I guess I don’t really have much to say today, but I’ll just rant about my life and just add in some random thoughts that come to my mind. :]
I have been procrastinating my butt off in school, and as a result, my grades suck. :[ It's so sad. I remember those days when I would study diligently every single day... HAHAHA. Not anymore. So my Whittle notecard is due this Friday, but I'm still only like halfway finished with my book, not to mention 2 other works of criticisms I have to read along with that.. I'm in big trouble.
But I also have an AP Chemistry test this Thursday on 2 chapters, which are review but still, and yea.. we've only studied the material for like... 3 days. Hopefully I'll do well, but I just really don't feel like opening that fat book and reading.
And GUESS WHAT?!? I have a violin audition Saturday for scholarship money in case I decide to go to USC Honors, which I'm hoping not. But yea... I have to play two pieces and one of them I just started last week.. And it's pretty hard. No joke. So yea, I just practiced an hour and a half and I should practice more, but my fingers hurt. So no more tonight. But I think either way, I'm just going to have to rely on luck. ..... Sigh... actually, I should probably practice..
But to some good news! God has definitely given me this wonderful opportunity to lead the Middle school girl's small group! At first, I was really hesitant because I'm already the praise team leader on Friday nights, so I already have my hands full, but I think that God really wanted me to do both, so I am! I'm really excited. All the little girls are so sweet, and I'm excited to get to know them better and just bond with them as we all grow closer to Christ. So definitely pray for me in that God will give me the strength, perseverance, and knowledge to fulfill His command. :]
Sadly, that’s really the only good news. =____= I could totally complain more because there’s so much more to complain about, but I’d rather not. I don’t like complainers… even though I have clearly just complained here.. gahh :[[
It's so sad looking back at myself and wondering, "Where did all my motivation go?' .... "It flew out the window." That's for sure. I'm being plagued by a horrible case of SENIORITIS.
Ahh. I'm so tired as usual. Ironically, I've fallen asleep in Whittle's class for the past like... 2 days or so. IT'S SO SAD. I really need to stay awake. Or maybe I should sleep more.... Or maybe I should sleep less? Because I definitely sleep a lot. .... .... I don't know... I'm just confusing myself. Hahahahaa :]
OH! And I had a migraine today, or so my friend, David, tells me. The front right half of my brain right underneath my forehead started killing me all of a sudden. It was like the weirdest feeling in the world. Haha…
Well, let’s just hope that everything [as in my life!] turns out okay. I’m definitely going to be praying, and I definitely need your prayers. :]
“Motivation? Hey little buddy! Where are you?~ Come here.~ tsk tsk”
