procrastination is bliss

All in all, I’d have to say I had a good weekend. On Friday, I hesitantly woke up from a late night finishing the Veteran’s Day project for US History with Laura. I think it’ll turn out well, we put a lot of work into it—now hopefully Darien and Cam do their part to make it into a decent movie, or else. But, yeah, so on Friday the whole junior class had a field trip to the Indianapolis Civic Theatre to watch The Crucible. It was a decent production; I am actually currently attempting to write a review over it for tomorrow’s English class. I felt guilty for dozing off at one point—but I was just so tired and the beautiful actor playing Reverend Hale was not in the scene, so I naturally succumbed to curling up in my chair and falling asleep. After the production, we had a crappy lunch, but Alix and I had a good time trying to track down people who knew Sam, a college student at Marian and former CHS student and soccer player. We were rewarded after dashing into a random building while supposed to be boarding buses. Then after a thrilling day at the office (for those of you who are not aware, I hold a job as a legal secretary), I went and got my check cashed at the bank and went on a mission to buy the new Death Cab for Cutie CD, Plans, which is utterly amazing--Alix, I’ll let you borrow it in a few days:).

That evening, I went to Alix’s house at 6:30 where we she, Anna, Sarah, Catherine, and I were to leave from to go to -Jarhead at 7:10. We stood in a massive line to get in, but it was a good movie, particularly because it had Jake Gyllenhall in it, but just also because it was really realistic and quite moving at times. Then, after going back to Alix’s and having ice cream, I drove Alix to her priest’s house where she was pet-sitting. Their dogs and cats were really darling and afterwards, we went leaf-jumping in the Wabash arboretum at 10:30 at night. That was an amazing time.

Yesterday, I slept in until quarter after one and then watched the third Star Wars movie. Then continuing my laziness, I watched the O.C. episode my parents had taped for me while I was working with Laura on US History. I then had plans to practice some guitar, when Laura called and we made plans to go to her house and bake a cake at 8pm. So I picked up Annalise and went over to Laura’s where we (Laura, Annalise, Alix, Anna, Ana, and I) made the craziest cake ever. It’s a massive heap of cake, frosting, sprinkles, chocolate chips, and candy. By the time we had finished making it, we could hardly eat any because we had been devouring so much frosting while baking. We have a ton left, so Laura’s bringing it to school tomorrow and we’re going to set it on our table with a bundle of forks and invite anybody to eat some. We’re going to figure out some famous person who has a birthday tomorrow and pretend we made it in their honor.

Considering this entry is becoming ungodly long, I shall try to conclude with the events of today. I woke up and went to an abnormally long church service in which we lit candles in memory or honor of someone—I decided to light mine for Crazy Horse, I’d say he’s terribly deserving. I then tried to make up for not practicing guitar this whole week before I would have my lesson. But, it ended up that I had no lesson, so perhaps it was good since I hadn’t practiced hardly at all. I then decided to take a walk in Wabash to clear my head in the nice autumn weather, but it lasted only about 20 minutes because my dad met up with me on his way home from his conference there. So, I ended up raking leaves for the next two hours while avoiding doing homework (hmmm…guess what I’m doing right now…) and then tried to watch Casablanca for my English review and have now decided to write it on Sabrina, a film I’ve already seen. I then talked to my love Alix on the telephone--which is always great. So now, I really must do my homework before my parents figure out that I’ve done absolutely nothing.
