| Wow. I am incredibly bored. I'm in the computer lab up here in Brookings, and I'm dead bored. There's nothing to do. I guess we were supposed to be going to this place called Bushnell [whatever and where-ever the heck that is...] at 1:30, and it's currently 2:10. Either we, the newspaper designers, don't need to go, or the whole thing was cancelled. I don't really know. I didn't really feel like going anyway.
So far, I've won two awards....well, not really awards, but you know what I mean. I won 1st place on this one project where we had to copy this poster exactly like it was two years ago. I guess I got the closest, because I won. Then, for our AP layouts, I won 2nd place. It's easier for me to do these things than some of the other kids here, but that's only because I've worked with InDesign [the layout maker] for a year, and this is only some of their 2nd day. I give them credit. A lot of the things that they come up with, though not using this software before, is really amazing. A lot of these people are so much more talented than me, regardless of their lack of experience. It makes me feel a little dumb. Lol!
So, tomorrow is my last full day here. Then on Thursday, we wake up, do last minute touch-ups to the paper, and then we go to this awards luncheon at the art museum. I'm totally looking forward to that. Not only will this be done, but I'll be at an art museum! Lol. I shouldn't say that...I like it here. Sure, I get a little homesick from time to time, but I get over it. There are some really cool people here. For instance...
1. Shuree- she sits across from me during classes [and is currently sitting across from me as we speak.] She's very pretty and funny, and she's super nice.
2. Maggie- we both have a lot in common. We both love art, and we're both addicted to new notebooks. [Don't ask...haha!]. She talks highly of her sister, which is cool. She's family oriented, and I love that about her. She's kind of quiet, but so am I.
3. TJ- One of the only guys I met here. He's funny, and he talks to me. That's all I ask. Lol.
4. Renee- my roomate. She's funny, bubbly, and awesome. I'm glad I have her as a roommate!
Well, I better go. We're going to go to the Dairy Barn to have ice cream! :) Toodles!

| Well, I'm up in Brookings as we speak. I'm at a publishing
workshop. It's very cool. I was kind of nervous last night
because I didn't know anybody, but now I'm fine. I saw Jessica's
little brother up here! He's at a wrestling camp. I'll be
here 'til Thursday. It's so weird! It feels like I'm at
college. We're staying in dorm rooms, sharing this huge bathroom,
eating at the cafateria, and hanging out in the Brown Hall lobby
watching movies. Well, I better get going to lunch now!
I'll most likely update later!
With Love, Molly

| Wow. I haven't written in this thing for AGES! A lot has happened over the past few month....way too much to put it all down. So, I'll shorten it.
- Went job shadowing for an Art Professor at USF and Augustana. It was pretty fun. I'm pretty sure that Augustana is way too big of a campus, and both schools cost A LOT to attend.
- We're done with the musical! I'm so happy. The late-night rehersals where really getting to me. Now, don't get me wrong, I loved the whole experience, but it was just getting old after a while.
- Prom is Saturday! I'm really excited for it. We've been decorating the gym for it, and I personally think it's the best one yet! All the colors are beautiful! I hope the seniors like it.
- I went to the movie Stick It on Friday with Sarah. It is a VERY GOOD movie. I suggest everyone go see it! The plot was amazing, and the music was just as good! I'd definately go see it again. It's worth your money!!
Well, nothing else really happened. It's been kind of dull around here lately. I'll be glad when school gets out. I'll be working a lot this summer and saving most of the money I make for college.
Now that I've updated, maybe some more people will!

| Sooo...I guess today is better than my last post. I think sometimes you just have to have a bitch-fest, and state everything that's going wrong in your life right now in order to feel better. It's a little something I like to call VENTING. And I do it on a daily basis. Whether it's verbally, or physically, I vent.
Right now, all I want to do is go for a run. The sky is SO blue, and it doesn't even look like the winds blowing outside. I HATE to run, but lately I've been on this lets-run kick. I can't wait until spring gets here. I mean, it's basically spring now, but it officially starts sometime into March.
The whole thing with 'him' kind of blew over. He doesn't want to date me, but he still likes me. I'm not sure how that works exactly, but it just does. I'm not making a real big effort to try to talk to him outside of our daily MSN convo's. He doesn't really talk to me in school either. I figure it's just another name on the rejection list for me.
Prom is starting to scare me. I don't know if I want to go anymore. I mean, I don't have a date, and I'll feel SO out of place when slow songs come on during the dance. I was looking at prom dresses yesterday, and there were some really pretty dresses, but they were about 400 bucks a pop.
So, that's pretty much it. Not much else to update on...got musical practice tonight at 5-6:45. Then I might go over to Sarah's and watch a movie or something. I don't even know. Anyway, have a good day everyone.

| Ughh...today is not a good day for so many reasons:
1.] I am so tired, I feel lik passing out in front of the TV watching Full House reruns.
2.] My eyes are so messed up. I have blind spots in them, and my parents have known about this for a year and a half, and they haven't done a damn thing about it. Look, I realize we don't have that much money to spend, but I'm not willing to go blind over this whole thing. I don't know, maybe I'm being way over-dramatic...but maybe not.
3.] I'm not even sure if I want to be the editor of the paper next year. I don't know if I can even take PUBLISHING next year, because I might have to take some other classes. Mrs. Walsh has me backed up in a corner, and I feel like I'm obligated to take on this job, though I know I won't like it. I don't think it's fair to me OR her if I half-ass my way through this whole thing.
4.] Last night I told 'him' that I wasn't going to like him anymore, because he didn't like me. And you want to know what 'he' said? "Well, I actually like you, and I was going to ask you out at a basketball game or something, but I didn't because I didn't know if you still liked me, and now I know the answer to that." I mean, what kind of bullshit timing is that? Obviously I still have feelings for 'him', but now we've got this unneccessary tension between us. Unless he grows up and tells me what he wants from me [and not in the sick way, guys], then I'm done with this crap. He's been playing mind games with me from day one, and I'm getting sick of it.
5.] One of my friends is getting annoying. She constantly stalks this one guy, when she likes another guy, she invites herself over to my house, and leaves me stranded at places where I don't want to be so she can go watch TV. I think that just gave away who 'she' is, but I don't care.
6.] When I got my midterm report card, the lowest grade I had was a B+ on it. Does that mean that my parents, mainly my dad, gives a flying fuck? NO. You want to know why? Because I'm not a straight-A student like my sister. My dad could care less if I got A+'s. If I get good grades, I ask him if he's seen my report card, thinking he'd congradulate me on my hard work, but no, he just utters 'yeah' and goes back to sipping his beer and watching the history channel. He doesn't freakin' care anymore. He just doesn't.
7.] I just suck at life in general. I can't get the guy I like, I can't get recogized by my OWN PARENTS, I a hypochondriac, I get homesick like a little kid, I'm fat, ugly, and all of the above. I can't deal with all this shit. I know there are kids out there who have it far worse than me, like having cancer, or living on the streets, or their parents beat them....but right now, I cannot stand life right now. I just wish it would go away.
Right now, all I want to do is go home and relax. I don't want to have to deal with school and some of the peope in it. I just want to escape.
