So, the strains of life have seemed to attack me at once.
The end of the term is coming up next week, and I have a good amount of homework that still needs to get done. My grades are dying, and I have a limited amount of time to get them up.
Not only that, but my band life is busy, too. Yesterday we had a concert (which... didn't turn out so well), tonight I have a solo (which I still haven't practiced for, and next Wednesday I have region festival, which will take up almost the entire day.
Add in the fact that my mother's sick, my friend might have cancer, my grandpa's finishing his chemotherapy (don't worry, nothing major), and it has just been wearing down on me.
Not to mention stress for planning for the Sadie's date. Which I may have to explain a bit: where I live, we usually have a "day activity", which can be anything ranging from bowling to playing freeze tag to... well, whatever you guys would want. Then we have dinner, then we have the dance. This usually happens all on the same day. However, to accommodate for Zoe's play performances (I'm going Saturday night), we're having the day activity tomorrow, a breakfast (rather than dinner) Saturday morning, and then going to the dance Saturday night. I'll update you on it Sunday.
So, that's the bitterness.
As for the sweetness, well...
I've found a new character to fangirl over. Here's the catch... *whispers* he's not an anime character... it's... Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown. I know if you've seen the show, you're probably like, "You have a crush on...
...this guy?"
And then you see
and you're like "Ooohhh...."
The thing with Jack Spicer is that he's either really goofy, or actually pretty cool, and while my favorite AMV of him does a pretty decent job of keeping it somewhat serious. This one is pretty good, too, but not really my style.
And last of all, the sweetest and the most blaringly obvious about this week.
...I have a freakin' date with Ninja tomorrow.
It's not just tomorrow, the entire week I've been talking with him more than I normally do. It's so much fun~ The biggest struggle I have with it is that I'll have these little bouts of thinking about how worthless I am next to him. Generally I have a solid self esteem but lately... it's been a bit shaky.
But I'll survive, and that's the solid truth of it.
