Justin Bieber is in my good books now.

what i've never done: walk to the cemetery by myself, for no good reason :)

well, i can't say that i've never done this any longer. Sunday i had a grand (freezing, but grand) time walking to the cemetery. i was feeling awfully lonely that day, sitting on a bench in the middle of a hundred graves. bounding out of no where, a white cat came , and he became my friend. I call him the 'Ghost Cat' because that's what it seemed like.

we walked around and behind tombstones together, and i saw graves of people i knew - both died young, one just a baby, the other 20 years old.
some graves seemed really sad, but most, i found, seemed hopeful. my favorite tombstone is in my handy dandy collage - "Today is going to be a beautiful day!" it seemed ironic. I was freezing (my hoodie didn't do much) and it was about to snow. i had nothing but a cat for comfort.

there i realized that life is precious, and it can be looked at in so many different ways. i reflected on myself, my life, and there are things i need to change.

i can definitely say that the walk to the cemetery by myself, for no good reason, really paid off.

Busy Life = Pretty Much Dead

let's just say that i haven't been updating this thing JUST because i didn't want to.. my life has been hectic!
i've died from lack of sleep these past few weeks, and look where I am now.. 12:09, updating this thing. But, you know what? Tomorrow's Saturday. I will sleep tomorrow.

Kimmie, I could really use Tito right now.

The end of the quarter always ends up stressful and full of "WHY am I getting a B+ in this class?!"
Well, if you even care, here are my grades. Quarter 1, complete. Hopefully it's good enough to get into some sort of college..

Computer Tech ~ A. Painting ~ A. Humanities ~ A-.  Language Arts ~ A. Algebra 2 ~ B+. World Geography ~ A. Biology ~ B+.

Yeah, I'm pretty proud of my grades (otherwise, i would neverrrr post them on here). My lowest are in Biology and Math, and those are my hardest classes, so in my mind, I'm doing okay.

I'm working extra hard for a 4.0 next quarter, which is the main reason of my lack of sleep.

I stay up every night remembering last-minute assignments, and recently decided to enter the 2010-2011 Inspirations Art Contest. As my mother is PTO president, she encouraged me to enter as many of the categories as I could. I ended up creating a video, writing an essay, painting a picture, and submitting a photograph. I'm fairly happy with all of my entries, especially my video.

The video took many weeks. It is the Pokemon Theme Song, with video clips of my siblings acting out the lyrics. I'm proud of it, but it's really obvious that it was done over the space of time, maybe next time I'll think a little bit harder about my projects.

Every morning, I fight for my life just to stay alive. I'm tired and lifeless during school, which makes things really funny. I die from lack-of-sleep on a daily basis, and I know it's bad, but whenever I get settled in bed I keep thinking "There MUST be something I could be doing right now...". And, usually, there is.

...Like update this blog.

Important, right? Sure. But hey, it's the weekend, give me a break! I can sleep in til noon, and I probably will, thank you very much.

I'm so tired.

lovekimber :)
