The Countdown Begins

9 more days! 9 more days!

Plus pretty much all school day trip, and last day which is 9:45-12. Cuz in 9 more days I will never have to go on that campus again! Yes!!!

Finally finished with Career Project! After tomorrow I will never have to speak of it again. But I’ll have to give my speech. *hides* I hate, hate, HATE public speaking. Having all those people stare up at me with their beady little eyes. Not that any of them care/are listening.

Think tomorrow we have to do the hand-prints on hideous bumblebee colored wall thing. Why did they paint over the mural with the hobo in it for that?! That thing held such great memories. *sniff* Like 1. But it was funny!

Lately I’ve been playing with this project neighborhood. I started with 4 married couples, each couple both have the same hair color. So I have the:

Blonde Gilligans

Brunette McAllisters

Black haired Scavellis

and Red headed Conaleighs.

Everyone but the Gilligans has had a kid, and the kids are all going to marry into the other families, so I’ll have this giant web of genetics. 3 kids each, so each one can marry another families kid. Eventually I’ll have to throw in a new sim or two into the mix so I’m not inbreeding them all. But it’s gonna be really cool to have all the sims be related somehow.

So far I have McAllister twins (Courtney and Gavin) a Conaleigh girl (Eileen) and a Scavelli girl (Bethany). I need some boys!



Break out the balloons

Pretty much done with the great load of projects and stuff I had!! Thanks to the craptastic band concert (which no one wants to hear) I had to finish my constellation project today. Which I have no idea if I did right.

And I’m one step closer to being done forever with the career project tomorrow! Finished the paper, citations and all. Next I just have the display, and speech. Great. I hate public speaking. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I don’t mind writing my speechs, just actually saying them. Blech.

Once again, the weekly Wednesday sleep whining. I can never fall asleep when I want to on Wednesdays. Probably because I get to sleep in, and then I’m not as tired. I don’t know.

After school gets out, we’re going on vacation to southern part of the state. For some reason I suggested looking at one of the local state colleges there. I have no idea why. I have no intention of going there, it has a kinda crappy psychology program, and I’ve never even seen the place. Plus I really want to go to the University of Washington, which I haven’t told my parents, and I have no idea if they know. Really, I don’t know why I suggested it.

And now finishing up with writing complaining. I haven’t written anything for probably a week. Cold Comforts and its sequel are kind of on short-term hold while I play around with smaller story ideas. And even those are getting ignored. Hopefully I can get into a better focus on building the sets I need, and pictures taken for CC over the summer. In June/July it will be a year since the last story I uploaded. Yikes!

T Minus 17 days. But then again I have like 50 million things to be doing.

Science- Stupid car and workbook stuff. Car due Thursday, so is Workbook

Math- Project, which I’m finally DONE WITH!!!! But then the teacher’s probably gonna heap on more work. Grrrr.

Band- Have to do concert, meet @ 8 Thursday morning. But the place is across the street from me, so that’s all dine and fandy. Plus I get out of school for 3 hours. Sweetness.

Language Arts and all that jazz: Career Paper Section 3 was due today. Then Section 4 on Friday. Have a while after that to work on other stuff.

So back to back blogging again! Go me!

Think I’m having party-ish funtime with friends on Saturday night. My parents have to go to some old guy birthday party, and wanted me to invite people over, or go somewhere. That should be fun.

Nothing else to say.

Miley out.



Gone Again

Gah! *slams head on desk* I am really getting out of the blog loop, compared to when I would obsessively update at least once a day.

Of course since the school year is ending, the teachers are continuing to slam mountains of homework on us. Have my stupid little science car to work on later, plus eventually finishing up Career Project-Math Edition for Wednesday, and working on the writing parts. Plus other regular math homework, and science notes. Blurg.

We cleaned out the pool this weekend, so I was able to go swimming yesterday! Yipee! But the water was cold, and I didn’t really feel like going under so I just floated around. Excited about that though. Pool should be back to its chlorinated self by next weekend.

And finally, sleep. Once again I wasn’t able to go to sleep last night for an hour. Sundays and Wednesdays always get me. Just when I thought I had that issue under control, it comes back and bites me in the butt. No, that’s more like my puppy.

And while I’m at it, there’s something weird going on with my clock. It’s 5:19 PM on Monday, not midnight on Tuesday.



Not Dead

I’m alive! I kept meaning to update, and then I never did. Shame on me I know. On to the usual whining:

-Point 1:Finishing up career project. Got to wander around grocery store with a notepad today, and write down prices like an idiot. Now everything I plan to do in the future seems more realistic, like it is going to happen, than it used to. But I’ll be glad once this thing is gone for good. Let’s hope I don’t have to do a presentation. *hyperventilates*

-Point 2: I finished Cold Comforts! Don’t know if I said that yet, but anyways, I did. Writing is done! Unless I want/need to add a scene or two. And I started writing up the sequel, plus took first 2 pictures! Hope to get out first chapter in a month and 1/2- 2 months.

-Point 3: I’ve been building some university lots in hope of getting them put on Mod eventually. Feeling kind of annoyed, and uninspired with those at the moment. So much work, and effort. Plus I’m getting brain farts, and I want to devote my time to more important things like Cold Comforts.

-Point 4: Finally got my hair cut.

-Point 5: Dreading tonight, cuz I know I won’t be able to sleep. Sunday nights always get me for some reason. I just feel like I’m not tired, and stay up like an hour or so later than I should. Plus I have more testing tomorrow, and I want to get a good night’s rest, even though I don’t test until like 12:30.

-Point 6: My Mother’s Day? Don’t ask.



And I lay down on the cold ground

Continuation of last post finally up.

More updates on sim things:

-I didn’t make it to the next round of HNTM. My entry had to be done in advance since I was gone on break, and looking back on it, is pretty crappy compared to others. It’s empty, and doesn’t show much effort. But I love working with Emma, and I’m going to try to do Eliminees Entries.

-I decided to finish all the writing for Cold Comforts before starting the photos stage, and I’m nearing the end. I have a post on the Hangout about the one road block I have right now, but the writing will hopefully be this time next week. Whoot!

Just when I was starting to think school work was receding, and I was finally having time for the Hangout and etc. when I get pelted again. Tomorrow I know I’m not going to get around to going online. And now I have this Career Project thing that’s definetly going to take some time. Grrrr.
