Hello world!
We did a fast today with some certain things in mind: one, that my sis comes back from that trip she took with Captain and his family fine (and she did); two, that my dad will get here safely once he starts the trip (yep, it's official! He took the job, and is gonna come here next weekend!); three, that I'll turn out to have a good bill of health after all, and that thing that's apparently on my ribs is nothing to worry about or easy to fix; and four, that President Thomas S. Monson will be okay.
Just the day after General Conference, my mom told me that she saw on Facebook that Monson was in the hospital- the leaders said so officially once fake news about the situation started to spread. I haven't heard any new developments about his health, but considering his age and how worn-out he's been the past couple years, we honestly can't hope too much. Really, all I ask for is that he won't be in pain and that he's happy, and if this turns out to be his last moments... that he goes peacefully and with a smile on his face. I don't like thinking about how he might not live through to next Conference, but at least I can think of him being content to the end.
This week had a lot of, yet again, trying to work on English and just not getting much done. I got caught up in chem, and finished the math project yesterday, but English almost entirely alludes me- and I'm 100% sure the fact that it feels like there's so much to do for that class is a major factor as to why I feel like I can't do it. I hate how the world works that way.
And, of course, I'm a little worried about the group project for that class, not just because it's a thing we have to do in relatively little time. We honestly have barely done anything for it beyond trying to decide the topic. We're that pathetic. I have a feeling we're gonna rush it a lot within the last few days before the deadline, which is going to be so super fun!!! (The sarcasm is real!)
One of those days in which I was supposed to be working on English at home and got majorly distracted instead, instead of reading a fic or scrolling through Facebook (why does it haunt me so much once again?) or watching Youtube (stop with the videos, internet!), I ended up looking up a picture that was used for a really good Danny Phantom fic and getting sucked into DeviantArt's DP fanart. Some of it is creepy, some of it is dramatic, or nostalgic, or funny, but it's all awesome. And I had to resort to extreme measures to make the binge go from a potential 13.75 hours straight (random number, but it honestly could've gone that long) to more like 2 hours? 2 hours I definitely could've been doing school stuff in, which made me want to bang my head against a wall thinking about, but at least it wasn't thaaat long? Ugh, the fanart binges are basically inescapable.
Have you ever had a moment where you suddenly got inspiration for an addition or revision to something you wrote a long time ago? I feel like I've been having these moments a little more often lately. Besides thinking of maybe something for WFAM or the Azul story, I thought of a plot-twist for that FMAxEnchanted crossover I wrote quite a bit for a few summers ago, and some things I could do to rewrite the first chapter of "Ed the Cat"- I am proud of that story, but even then, I knew it wasn't exactly the best writing style ever. I'd love to rewrite it someday (which would mean putting scenes about the mystery character much sooner, and pulling together an actual plot more, and all that jazz), and actually finish it! Maybe if I can get more inspiration for this new rendition of my first chapter story online ever, that can be one of the things I can work on over the summer!
My mom and I did some more looking around at yet more stores for potential prom dresses, and none of them seem to compare to the very first one I tried on. (On the upside, we found a dress that my sis might potentially use for her wedding instead of the first plan to wear an all-white Mexican folklore Chiapas dress.) As part of that search, we went to the mall yesterday, and... ended up eating Panda Express and buying some more stuff from Hot Topic. One of those things was this light blue skirt with Stitch from Lilo & Stitch on the bottom as part of a Hawaiian flower and palm tree border. It goes just past my knees, and is light but not see-through at all, so it's gonna be awesome for the summer! We also got a matching plain shirt and some leotards/bodysuits (for some reason, I don't like the second term, so let's just stick to "leotards"?).
Almost done! (Pretty sure this is quite a bit shorter than most of my posts nowadays...) We also watched the General Women's Session recording today- I liked the messages a lot!- and... I'm just too lazy to do that General Conference summary I did once, so let's just not. *thumbs up*
The deadline for my official decision as to which college I'll go to is growing ever closer and ever closer... and I think I'm leaning more toward the tiny campus, as much as I'd hated the idea before. I feel like going there is kinda like throwing away a big opportunity that I'd wanted so badly, but it's just gonna be so much easier for everybody if I skip it, and I'm so excited about the idea of going to college with my sis and Captain... Agh, I don't know if I should think about it a bit more? I really don't have much time to think about it anymore, but...
This week is technically Spring Break for my high school, but not my college classes. We'll see how that goes. *deep sigh*
Bye!
