I need sleep!



So I woke up this morning at 7:15and I had to leave by 7:35. I am just so tired from not getting enough sleep. I have never been so stressed in the morning!  I threw on a dress that I think is my moms, made my oatmeal, and left. I didn't have time to take a picture, so I will substitute with yesterdays pic.
I was a few minutes late to Algebra- but whatever what can you do?
My school day was pretty low key, except i've been so tired. I am going to aim for a normal amount of sleep tonight, but we'll see how that goes. For lunch I really didn't go into the dining hall because 1. I was busy and 2. I knew I was going to be having pizza at Community Service. So I simply went to the school store and bought a Diet Coke and some Sabra Pretzel Crisps and enjoyed them in the computer lab with a Cliff Kid Z-Bar that I brought from home. 
The Sabra Pretzels Crisps were really good, I had never had them before but I was impressed! Except for the high sodium, they're great! The container at the top holds the crisps, and below is a container with zesty salsa for dipping. There is a serious amount of salsa (the packaging said 1/2 c.) I tried to use as much of it as I could, but it was just too much for the amount of chips. Really yummy though. The Cliff Bar was good as always.
After class I just talked with a friend for a while, and then headed off to Community Service. Today was the last day of it for the fall term (most people will change afternoon programs). But because I cannot do a sport because of my "condition" I am going to do Community Service again. It definitely wasn't as sad for me as it was for the others. Anyways, we brought Little City Pizza for the kids to have for a treat. Little City is a favorite of Westminster kids, its the best pizza place in town. By the way, Westminster is the name of my boarding school.  The pies were cut into squares, and I had a small square.

I ate in the dining hall for dinner, but I was too embarrassed to whip out my camera so I didn't take any pictures. I wasn't a fan of the hot food they were serving today (some nasty chicken dish) so dinner was a small bowl of plain pasta, a side salad with a hard-boiled egg, and an ice cream sandwich for dessert.

This is the brand that I had above.

After dinner I went to the Stud (student center) with one of my best friends, Lily. We played a game of pool, and then a lot of my other friend came over too and we all hung out for a while. Now I am in the Library for study hall (7:30-9:15). I think I am going home now though because I am tired and I want to actually get some sleep tonight. Remember- I am a weirdo who goes to school on Saturday mornings!
I will update later with my night time snack and fill you in on my sleep progress or not progress!

Update: I came home and took a shower (fit a treat in there) and fell asleep for a half hour. Then I convinced myself to get up, did my Spanish homework, and watched Numb3rs with my parents.
When I got home I somehow convinced myself that I needed one of these babies!


Bed is a priority tonight- meaning right after this post. Hey, 1AM is better than 3:30AM! I don't have to get up until 7:45AM tomorrow. Night snack was an old favorite- Shaw's brand light raisin english muffin with tsp Brummel and Brown along with a Yoplait Thick & Creamy. I also tried something new that I bought at the school store. Honey Nut Cherrios Milk and Cereal Bar.
 Verdict? Not bad, but I would much rather have a sweet and salty or advantage bar.
All together:


Adios!

and just 4 hours later...


Rise and shine was bright and early at 7AM after my 3AM bedtime. Yeah, how energized do you think I am after 4 hours?!? I'm feeling a nap later on today! 
This morning I jumped out of bed, threw on the first skirt I could find (I have a dresscode), brushed my teeth, and headed downstairs. It was actually a weird morning after that. My best friend, Ariel called me from Arizona, and I was confused considering it was only 5AM her time. Turns out her grandmother had to go to the ER in the middle of the night. I am very very close with Ariel's family and they are practically my second family. I was very upset to hear about this. They're not sure what exactly is wrong, but I will update you when I find out. After that phone call I made my usual, quick breakfast while attempting to print out my AP English essay on Nathaniel Hawthorne and EdgItalicar Allen Poe. The printer failed to cooperate, so I decided to wait until I got to school and just enjoyed my oats. I had my normal bowl, which was made of one instant oatmeal packet, 2/3 c. water, 1 tsp DaVinci Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup, and 1 tbsp of Peter Pan Whipped P.B. I wish I could get creative with my oats like a lot of bloggers out there, but I just got have either the time, or the stomach to do so first thing in the morning. One Sunday I will have to experiment.
I know this doesn't look so appetizing in the picture, but it was yummy as always! 
Right now I have the hour block free (8:45-9:45) and awaiting my next class in the computer lab. I always sit in here because it is the warmest spot in the entire school building. Here is my mess that has taken over the lab-
I have Chemistry next, then Algebra II, then I am done! We get out at 11:15 on Wednesdays, which is nice, except for the fact that- prepare yourselves- we go to school on Saturday mornings. Yes, that's right I have class every Saturday from 8AM-10:55AM. I've gotten used to it though, so it is really no big deal. Also, I normally stay at school on Saturday nights to hang out with friends and stuff. This Saturday however, I have agreed to babysit. I don't exactly know why I said I would, I guess I'm just money-hungry!
Alright, I am going to go get some work done and then go to class, I will be back with more later.
