Life and Stuff

I feel like it's been forever since I just sat down and wrote down my thoughts.  I don't even know what I want to write right now, but I just want to.  So I'm going to sit here and type until I decide to stop procrastinating and go take a shower so I can get to bed at a somewhat reasonable time seeing as I have to get up at 6:30 in the morning to be at class at 7:30.  What?  It takes me a while to wake up in the morning.

I've taken the first step in applying for student teaching, which is insane to think about.  A year from now, I'll be student teaching.  A year!  That's hardly any time at all!  It's less than a year, actually.  It's more like... ten months.  Scary and exciting at the same time.

I haven't written anything in my book for several days now.  I think it's been about a week.  I have the ending written... I just have to figure out what still needs to happen before then.

There's a dance at school in a couple months, which I'm REALLY excited for.  LGBTAA (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender and Allies Association) hosts it, and it's a pretty big deal on campus.  Last year was a masquerade, and they called it the Mask Queer Rave.  It was so so SO fun.  This year, I've heard that it's going to be Disney themed, so my grandma is making me a dress like Rapunzel's from Tangled.  I'm gonna dye my hair back to brown again (because Rapunzel has short dark hair at the end of the movie and because I want to go back to brown), but I'm also going to buy myself a blonde wig (if I have the money to).  I'm going to try to make a replica of Rapunzel's crown, and I'm going to ask my grandma if she can make me a little chameleon like Pascal from Tangled.  If not, I found a cute one on Etsy that's pretty cheep that I can buy.  A friend of mine agreed to be Flynn Rider.  I'm so excited!

My grandma is going to make the dress while I'm up at school.  She just got the pattern about a week or so ago, but it's going to be too big on me because the smallest pattern for that dress is bigger than what I would fit into... So when I go home for break at the end of March, she's gonna take it in so it fits me.  I'm hoping to have my little Pascal and the blonde wig before then as well, because I really want to do a Rapunzel themed shoot.  It's kind of funny because I've done a Taylor Swift themed shoot before (that was a ton of fun to do!) and I decided on being Rapunzel MONTHS ago.  I actually decided it before I even saw Tangled, which I watched for the first time back in December/January over winter break. But anyways, and then Taylor did a Rapunzel shoot.  Ironic or something?
This is the dress she is making me.
The dress is gonna be a combination of the two in that picture.  It's mostly going to look like the blue one, but the upper part of the sleeves are going to look like the ones in the white one.  It's not going to have the collar that's on the white one, and it's not going to have the bow on the back.  Then she's also making some other modifications to the way it looks.  But yeah, that's the pattern she's using.  And of course I'll post pictures of it once it's done!

I hurt my knee pretty bad.  Saturday night, my friends and I were playing in the snow and I slipped and fell.. and my knee tried to make friends with the sidewalk curb.  Apparently, knees and sidewalks can't be friends, and the sidewalk decided to leave me with a massive bruise covering my kneecap and an uncomfortable, painful, swollen knee.  I've been living on painkillers the past couple days.  I couldn't even put weight on it Saturday night.  One of my friends asked me if I wanted them to call CRS (campus rescue) but I said no and that I was fine.. when in all actuality, have you ever had something hurt so bad that you thought you were going to throw up because it hurt so bad? Yeah.  I played in gym class today (I wasn't going to, but I decided to because I didn't want my grade in the class to be affected by me not playing), which I immediately regretted because we played a lot of running around games.  Got back to my room, took a couple Tylenol, and went on with the rest of my day.  When I finished my classes for the day, I went to jump up onto my bed to sit and do homework, and hit my knee really hard against the bedpost / leg of the bed / whatever it's called.  It hurt so bad - I almost cried.  Then after dinner, I was walking to the library to print out homework stuff and slipped on the ice, hurting myself even more.  Yay.  I suck at being hurt.  It just needs to hurry up and get better already.  It's a rather lovely shade of purple at the moment...

My knee Saturday night, a few hours after falling.
It's actually more black and blue-ish now than in that picture... but you get the idea.  Ouch, right?  Yeah.

Ok, it's 10:45 at night now and I was intending to be in bed by 11.  That's not gonna happen because I still have to go take a shower, so it'll be 11 by the time I get back from that.  Sleep by 11:30?  Possibly.  If I stop typing and get off the computer now.
