Today I stayed home because I was sick. I didn't realize how wiped out my body was. I literally slept ALL DAY LONG and the night before I went to bed at 6 pm. Like my god that is a lot of sleeping. I slept for about 20 hours, every now and then I would wake up due to the urge to pee but fell right back asleep. The funny thing is I'm still tired and I plan to sleep some more and hopefully all night after I am done writing this, so I'm going to stop writing so I can sleep some more. My body is just exhausted.

​Aquí está nuestro próximo proyecto.

I HATE, like hate, the way you make me feel.
I see you around the neighborhood and it just puts my body into shock every time without fail. And then after the initial shock passes every thing goes into overdrive; I get mad butterflies, my heart beats at the speed of sound, I can't actually speak because it comes out a squeak or a cry and my hands start shaking violently. And it's all your fault!
Before, this used to sort-of be a good feeling. I enjoyed the rush of adrenaline, but before I got to use all of the adrenaline up when I got to run up and kiss you. Before, I spent time with you. Before, we went out of our way to make sure that we saw each other. And now I feel all of the same things and feel a surge of some kind of mixture between love and hate. I love to hate you and I hate to love you. It's an extremely complicated way to live out my life.
I guess it isn't bad enough that I think about you all the time, dream of you, wish I were with you, or just plain miss you. No, we have to take it to another level. You are the last person I would want to spend a moment with, but I wish I could spend nights and days in your arms. Every time I see you I want to kiss you and simultaneously want to punch you in the mouth and walk away. You are the one person in this world I want to tell all of my problems to and you're my main problem.
So, thank you… For making seeing you so damn complicated.

What did you learn from doing this project?
I think mostly, what I learned is that most people have a daily routine that they stick to, and that people everywhere do the same things in the morning whether they're in Spain or here, or where ever they are.
How do you feel about your final product? I think it's good. I like the song most of all out of the whole thing.
If you could do your project all over again, what would you do differently/the same? Differently, I'd do it in my mom's house. The same, would definitely be the song. I love Jewel.
Did you enjoy this project? Why or why not? I did! Even though my dad was asking me why I was getting ready for school at night. It was fun to show the world how frenzied I am in the morning.

Every Sunday on the BIO Channel, marathons of a documentary call "I Survived" are played. "I Survived features several different individuals every episode where they tell a story of how they survived a life threatening experience. This is by far one of the best documentary television series I've ever watched.

Would you be so kind as to tell me of Celia?

Ellas es Ayoola y Jasmin. Ellas es muy cómicas. Nosotros asistamos la escuela de SLA.

College is so expensive and I dont understand why? Its shorter in school days, you have to pay before you even get accepted/rejected. What is the point of paying excessive amounts and then being in debt for years after college?

Graduating in less then 3 months! Another huge milestone in a very short life time period.

One year when I was around five years old. We went to the zoo trip that was outside of Philadelphia. I actually forget the area or location now being alot older but there is a video of the story. My family and our neighbor Maryellen went onto a trip to the six flags safari thing where your aloud inside the Forrest t​o see the animals up close. There is a strict policy that you cant feed the animals. But of course our crazy neighbor brang a blue little cooler with all types of fruits and snacks to feed the animals. We started the car ride down into the forrest and two monkeys came upon the car. A mother monkey carrying another child on the windshield and her song hanging from the side view mirror. Maryellen thought it might be a good idea to give some food to the animals. This caused havoc in the forrest and around five hundred dollars of damages. It was a great experience though and funny, it just goes to show you should never feed animals that are wild and if your in a small car.

I'm really flippin' tired of going to school.
I'm going to college in 178 days.

Bianca just tired a knot in her hair. What the hell, how do you possibly do that?
Oh well.
I'm in Economics.

Here's a poem, wait, Bianca just gave me the knot in her hair..
okay.

I don't know why
I don't sleep in class.
I don't pay attention
cause I sit on my ass.
I get really bored
and nothing is fun
except when we color
or when class is done.
I wish it was over
I wish it was through
in 178 days
I won't be seeing you
I'll be in North Jersey,
up by the beach
and I will be so happy
because I'll be out of your reach :DDD

Where I come from, it always rains.
 Sunshine comes twice a year.
Its nice around these parts when it isnt raining.
It goes from a 67 degree rainy day to a 85 sunny day.
Great, wonderful, unbelievable.

Do you know where I live?

This world is slippen, underneath everything.​

This whole world, is slippen underneath.​

Yesterday I broke out in hives. I never scratched myself that much ever.
