Free Post (Winter Break)

So my break was pretty awesome. I was asleep for 60% of it, but it was great nonetheless. It was spent preparing for parties, engaging in those parties, working on homework and a history project, and hanging out with friends... Etc. My best friend turned 17 on Saturday too! It was pretty funny actually, because I was chilling at home when I received a call from him asking if I wanted to go to lunch with him. I said sure, of course, as I really only see him a few times each year, despite the short distance he is from me. It's a long story, but in short, my parents and his parents both have busy schedules so we rarely have time to get rides to each other's houses. Since he doesn't go to Cherokee, I can't see him every day either. :/ As soon as I agreed, though, he immediately asked where I want to go. Like um? It's your birthday... lol. But I had a lot of fun as we drove around a little and decided to go to the Promenade (don't worry, his mom was in the car!). We then ventured on to Barnes and noble, the Burlington coat factory, and Let's Yo!. We hung out for a good 4ish hours before he had to leave and go to dinner with his family. Hopefully, now that he'll have his license soon, we'll be able to hang out more often. At least, that's what he promised me.

Before Saturday, I had been working on my history project with my friend Lauren, as the project was pretty involved. We had to buy a scrapbook, age the pages, print out pictures and newspaper clippings, write descriptions/explanations and make it look "authentic". I mean, I suppose I could have made the actual book itself to make it look more authentic but I was just trying to enjoy my break and relax a bit so I put my overachieving self aside and bought one instead haha. I finally finished it in its entirety last night, as I only had a little left to do. I'm really proud of the product.

And best of all, I got to sleep. Pure, uninterrupted sleep. Without any worries about a next project, a precalc packet, or a presentation.

Ugh... It's only first period and I'm already tired of school... Take me home :(
