Fortified with Optimism

I presented my speech about embracing the word Fuck today. I felt very pressured at first because my teacher was skeptical that it might offend some of the older parents in the audience. I shakes a little but I felt pretty good after talking to the guy next to me before hand who was nervous as well. I love that class, even if I feel like my heart is pounding in my throat at first at the thought I might start farting or something, it’s still an amazing high. I’m rewarding myself with finally opening the pages of vogue and not doing my French homework. Treat yourselves, Silly McGillies! :)

Another day of cleaning my room. It stayed clean for almost a whole week from the last time I cleaned it. My personal record! Just dusted my bookcase full of knowledge! Well at least I can say that with my thesaurus and French-English Dictionary. The rest were my yummy escapes from reality. I need to start reading more again.

Retelling itty bitty stories from reviewing the pictures on my phone.

So I remember taking these pictures on my phone with the intentions to blog about something. So this is just a whole bunch of whatevaaa that happened this week..

Taken Wednesday of last week: 

  • I decided to be all eco friendly and walk to school. Actually I really just wanted to save gas. But I remember it was really hot outside (like the hottest day of that week) and I donned my 400 pound backpack of knowledge. The average 10 minute walk to school turned into around 25 and I remember walking in right when class was about to start looking like a sweaty hot mess. I felt very tempted to explain myself onto why my shirt was drenched in sweat everytime I felt someone was staring. I JUST WANTED TO SAVE THE EARTH FROM POLLUTION A COUPLE BUCKS SO I COULD GET A TACO LATER.
  • I spent my 2 hour break in the library studying next to this 2 guys on my left. I got lost in my music and when the song Vienna by Billy Joel came on I didn’t realize I sang out loud the first part, “SLooW DooWn you Crazy CHillld…” until the guy across me on my left jumped a little.
  • This lady made me watch her purse as she ran an errand. Well she didn’t really ask she just asked how long I was staying and after I said about 30 minutes she pointed to her bag, gave me a “Do what I say, Child” and left. I didn’t really understand why she didn’t just take it with her it seemed like it was filled with feathers and a tube of lipstick. She ended up making me hyperventilate cause she didn’t come for more than 30 minutes and I needed to go to class. She then came in finally while I was packed and ready to go just staring at her big bag full of nothingness protecting it from all evil. That silly willy didn’t even say thank you! She just grabbed her bag and left. I was so tempted to just follow her, but then I didn’t really want to look like a freak running after her with my big ass back pack pleading a ‘thank you.’ Well at that moment I kinda hoped that a big gust of wind were to swoop by her and take away her plastic bag.

Taken Monday of this week:

  • I was using the gross restrooms by the Miramar Library and after I did my business and looked up I saw this. Made my day a little bit brighter. 

Taken Tuesday of this week:

  • I have been very proud of myself that I have not bought anything at both of my schools cafeteria, besides that water, but this time I was so desperate. I haven’t been bringing any money to school to avoid temptation but after searching my bag I managed to find $1.75 in quarters! I then finally found a vending machine. AND THIS FUCKER TOOK MY MONEY AND KEPT THE M&Ms!. 
  • I think this moment was when I realize I would hate gambling because I was really really upset that I lost $1.25. I don’t even want to know how much pain it would feel to loose like $5 bucks on a slot machine.
  • In good news, I hope some other hungry broke student wanted milk chocolate M&Ms and ended up getting 2 instead of one. 

Taken Yesterday:

  • I like being obnoxious in Kim Vergaras car.

Taken Today:

  • I held back on temptation to get the September issue in order to study. Then I realized that I had to get it before the October one comes out usually by the 18-20th. So yesterday I went to Target and started freaking out cause they already had the October issue. 
  • Luckily, today I realize that CVS (I go to) usually lags on getting the recent magazines till like a week later so I was saved.
  • Yay! Now I can go look at scarfs that cost more than my monthly paychecks combined! (JayKayy, I Luhh You September Issues <333)
