I'm driving over to the dance studio in a little bit to pick up my DVD of the recital and to register for classes in the fall. I somehow got myself talkd into doing pointe again this year. I didn't do it last year because of a scheduling conflict. But I can do it this year, and because it's my senior year I'm going to. My mom really wants me to do it...she thinks I look beautiful when I do it. Which I kind of wonder about, because how I could look beautiful doing anything is beyond me. But I digress. I wouldn't have done pointe this year if not for another friend of mine. We really got to know each other over the dress rehearsal/recital weekend because we both have a common dislike of the prep school girls who attend classes at the studio. We're both a little different from the polo-wearing princesses, seeing as I've often been labeled emo and she's just so exuberant and happy and outgoing and kind of weird that she doesn't fit the mold, either. Which is good. She's a lot of fun to hang out with. I finally had to track her down of Facebook and talk to her to see if she was doing pointe, because there was no way I was going to take a class with the three preppiest girls in the studio if she wasn't there. And she is, bless her heart. So I'm going to do it. I miss dancing on pointe anyways, even if it's with the Prep Princesses. I usually just ignore their crap and gossip and the random taunts they throw at me. It does get annoying and disheartening after a while... I would love to just give one of them a black eye, but that wouldn't be the Christian thing to do. Darn.

Wow, that was a longer rant than I'd anticipated! Sorry about that!

Anyways, after I get back from the studio we're having the Mexico missions team come to my house to have a traditional Mexican meal. Served by traditional Mexicans. [laughing] Soy de Mexico! So, yeah, my mom made frijoles and molé and I think she's making enchiladas... I'm so excited, I love traditional Mexican food. Not the crap you get from Taco Smell. But that's just my opinion... We leave for Mexico in 10 days! HOLY COW, I didn't realize that it was that soon! I'm really excited about it--all of the people that I know that have gone before keep saying that awesome things happen on missions trips, so I'm so excited to see what God will do through our group. Even if you people who read this aren't religious, it's still pretty cool to hear of miracles, I think...

Summer vacation has been not relaxing at all thus far! I'm so tired right now! [laughing] That might actually be my fault for not having gone to bed until 2 o'clock this morning...but... We had an awesome human video performance last night. The human video team took over one of the church services that the church holds on Monday nights and it was so awesome! We had a great time!
