5/20 - Going to Sleep at 8:00

I never ever go to sleep before 10:00! Whether it's a weekday, weekend, or even if I'm sick. Yesterday I had a major headache, and I was lying in bed reading. It made my head hurt even worse and I just couldn't take it. I had tried reading with the lights out too but it was just too dark. I decided I just needed to keep them off and lay there for a little bit. Well... I ended up falling asleep. And this is not uncommon for me. I nap almost every day! But the difference was that I stayed asleep. I woke up at about 1:00 am and realized how late it was. At that point I was in no shape to get up and finish my homework, straighten my hair, and pack for the next few day. I decided to just go right back to sleep. I t felt so nice waking up in the morning after have a full 10 hours of sleep, and it wasn't even a weekend! I really think I needed that and I'm happy it worked out that way.

5/19 - Catching Up

I caught up on the season finales of One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl. That's it. A lot of people got shot. Intense.
(I'm a day behind and can't exactly remember this day...)

5/18 - A Night of Nothing with No Consequences

Nothing really happened yesterday. That seems to be a pattern on tuesdays... hmm I always like tuesdays. And I think this might be why. Of course I did have homework, and 2 tests to study for, yet I felt no pressure. The week was still just beginning but not the awful monday feeling. My only time pressure was to finish what I had to finish by 9:00 so I could relax and watch Glee while painting my nails. Well, I didn't finish. I basically did nothing productive the whole night. But the difference that made this a good this, was that I didn't feel so stressed about it!
I am not the type of person that can slack off in school and not worry about it. As much as I want to not care, and even try to not care, I always, always care. It gets very annoying! Especially when it wakes me up in the middle of the night with a nightmare about not having done my homework. Anyways, I did nothing, yet nothing went wrong. (and having completed the wednesday school day, I can tell you that it didn't affect me. I got my hw done during frees and no teachers ever would have guessed that I spent my night napping and watching Did you Hear About The Morgans? which was stupid but entertaining and cute)

Other Good Things of the Day
  • Holly and Jake forgot to pick me up for school, so Stacy drove me and we had a surprisingly un-awkward car ride, talking about keratin treatments and car accidents
  • 2 seniors jokingly went up to me and thanked me for having them over
  • Had an un-awkward conversation about the party with Dylan and Phil in speech class
  • Had pizza and a caramel apple for lunch (they opened a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in Cold Stone :)
  • Got to go home and sleep in my own bed
  • Didn't let Did You Hear About The Morgans? itunes rental expire
Btw, I'm pretty proud of the alliteration in the title of today's post

5/17 - Being Locked Out of the House

My dad decided that after the party, people would know we don't always lock our doors and therefore we need to get keys. Well he got these keys when I was not home and never gave me one. Guess what happened next? Yup, he locked me out... and then went to work. Well it was basically my first day of being grounded but instead of going home, I got to go to Holly's house and spend time catching up with her! Later that night I also found out that I get to sleep at grace's on saturday, haha! This grounding thing isn't really working out...
(love my Hollister :)

Other Good Things of the Day
  • Talking to random people from the party
  • Catching up with Dayna after not having seen her for months

5/16 - Relief

I woke up terrified to walk downstairs and see my father. I stayed in bed pretending I was asleep until about 7:40 when he knocked on my door. I didn't respond and he went away. Then he called me... I figured I couldn't ignore that too so I answered it and he told me to come downstairs and we were going to go get cleaning supplies from the supermarket. I get in the car still scared for my life, but a wave of relief washes over me as my dad starts to call every single person he knows and joke about the whole thing. This is what my dad does. It pisses me off, but I'd rather it be this way then be in huge trouble. We ended up stopping for bagels and somehow having a pretty nice morning.
After become comfortable around my dad, it made me even more scared to see my mom. All I was hoping was that she wouldn't cry. When she finally came, I walked outside and apologized. She hugged me, didn't cry, and told me that I was grounded for a month (but friends could come to my house) and I had to see a therapist 3 times. Honestly I was expecting so much worse and I wonder if my parents know that most kids would be dead in a situation like this. I don't know, but I sure as hell am not going to tell them!

Other Good Things of The Day
  • Going to Home Depot with Nicole and trying to find a lock without any clue of what kind
  • Poppy's 75th birthday brunch (3 hours long and bad food, but it was fun in the beginning)
  • Basically no homework

5/15 - Good Cop

So basically I am a huge idiot. I threw a party. Everyone showed up. Got out of control. Cops came. Nothing was really good about this night (besides the following: made some friends, gained a cute purse that someone left, seniors told me I was pretty) but at least the cops were nice. Thats the best I can think of. Police are probably the scariest people ever, but they didn't yell at me and let me talk to my parents. I don't know, but I guess I'm just kinda thankful...

(a hilarious picture some guy took on his phone while the police man was taking down everyone's names)

Other Good Things of The Day
  • My clothes got picked to put on our mannequin for my fit class
  • Chipotle nomnomnom
  • Reading Cosmopolitan with my girls
  • I actually threw a party

5/14 - Playing Hooky

I have been super stressed lately, and ever since the car accident all I want is to be home. My mom wasn't going to be able to bring me home tonight if I went to school, and I didn't have a lot of classes...so she let me skip it. I spent the day catching up on tv shows, hanging out with Sabrina, and then going over to Sierra's with Jess. It didn't end up being that relaxing, but it was definitely nice to take a mental health day!
