Don't put that kind of pressure on me

You know what's a terrifying decision to make? What to do with the rest of my life. I'm only seventeen years old, yet I'm expected to be able to choose a college to go to with a major in mind for a career that I will, in theory, stick with the rest of my life. How does being seventeen qualify me to make those kinds of decisions? I can barely decide what outfit to wear everyday (which, by the way, I quite enjoy doing, but maybe spend a little too much time doing). I mean I think I've finally figured out what I want to major in, at least I have it down to two somewhat related majors, but as I look at colleges that have both of these majors--linguistics and cognitive science--I'm realizing how few colleges actually do offer both degrees. This isn't a problem as long as I stick with one of those majors, but just a year ago I thought I wanted to do something with engineering, so who's to say that in another year I won't have moved on to English or some more obscure major? Why can't every college just offer everything? That would be nice.

I need help

It's Homecoming this week which means dress up days! Thursday is future day and I would love to dress up as Zenon Carr, from the Disney movie Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century (as well as Zenon: the Zequel and Zenon: Z3). Pretty much the only thing I have is a pair of brightish blue tights. Not exactly her colors, but the right idea. Any ideas on the where to find the types of other clothing I need? I don't really want to do a bunch of sewing :/ Thanks!

How could I forget?

Oh, and happy Constitution Day!

Where would I be without cheesy romantic movies?

My mom has discovered a new channel, called PixL. All it plays are slightly predictable yet cute romantic movies. So basically our DVR is going to be completely full in just a couple of days. My mom and I live for these kinds of movies. So what if you know how they're going to end? They're cute and happy :). We have our limits, though: nothing tooo cheesy.
We just got done watching one called Taste of Romance. It was sweet and not all mushy and sappy and terrible. There's this one scene, though, where a health inspector comes in to the lady's restaurant, and my mom and I swear it's a cameo appearance by Judd Nelson (you know, from the Brat Pack), but he's not mentioned anywhere online. Maybe you've found this blog by having the same idea as my mom and me and your search engine returned this post? If that's you, or if you're anyone else and you happen to have seen this movie, what are your thoughts? Is that Judd Nelson?

It's finally here

It's Friday! Are you as excited as I am? It's not that I actually have plans this weekend (social life? what?) it's just that I don't have school for two whole days. Which is the best feeling ever. I am getting my senior pictures taken tomorrow, but that's not a look-forward to thing. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm as vain as the rest of the girls my age and love the idea of acting like a model for a couple of hours, but it's not exactly a super exciting event. We actually don't even get senior pictures in our yearbook this year (big outrage) but my brother's friend's girlfriend has a start up photography business so she's pretty cheap, plus I'm paying for them and not my parents. They don't seem to see why I need them?

Anyways, I hope maybe someone will finally see this and the "you" will have an audience. In that case, what are  your big plans for the weekend? I hope they're more exciting than mine.

Pretty snazzy, huh?

Did you read that right? You have to be sure to get the "sch" sound in, so it's "schnazzy" and not plain old "snazzy." Anyways, so far pretty much no one has seen this blog, but if you happen to stumble upon it you might like to know that I just redid the design. Yeah, I know, super exciting. It just needed to be lightened up, made more carefree. As do my posts, which will be all kittens and unicorns from now on, with the occasional cotton candy fluff thrown in. Oh gosh, I'm sorry. I'll shut up now. Maybe you'll stay and look around? I promise I'll get better at this...

I have way too much free time...

Which is why I find out about websites like dearblankpleaseblank.com. I'm never going to get homework done ever again.
