Babysitting

Yesterday I had a babysitting job. I was really excited because I haven't had anyone to babysit in a while, but these people just moved here so it looked promising.

That morning I also had to babysit in the nursery in my church. I have been babysitting at my church since the sixth grade and it's no big deal because it's less than an hour, right? Well, yesterday, I guess he just couldn't hold it in any longer and a kid peed on the floor. I was hoping it wasn't a bad omen for the rest of my babysitting day.

And how did the other babysitting experience go, you ask? Let me tell you- five kids, seven hours- how do you think it went? I. Was. Pooped. I got a lot of money though.

I wanted the blue cotton candy

Tonight I went with my parents to see a band of old people, Jay and the Americans. We went because the new Jay, Jay number three, is a relative of ours. I think he's my grandma's cousin or something like that. Anyway, they were really good and their whole concert was like a reminiscence of all the good stuff they've done, and let me tell you these fellas have been around for a while. It was pretty cool though because they new a lot of famous musicians(also old), but I can't really tell you who because I don't really care about famous people (especially those on the older side). One of the only names I recognized I still really don't even know who he is (Neil Diamond, Anyone?). Just thought I'd tell you. The best part of the night was the cotton candy.

The Future...

Since I've been going on the computer recently I decided to put my time to good use. Sick of solitaire and the games on bored.com, I thought I should look up information for the college I wanted to go to. There was this one college I was so sure I wanted to go to so I started looking up a ton of stuff on its website. I've already been to this place and read their pamphlet a thousand times over, but I wanted more info about stuff like honors and bands. Then after discovering some upsetting information ( my AP score is too low for what I thought would be an "easy" college to get into), I decided to explore other options. I then began to look up information for two other "easy" colleges- it seemed okay, but not really completely what I was looking for. So I figured I might as well look up another college I hear about a lot, but I had never really considered it because it's a "hard" one to get into. This "hard" college as it turns out has my perfect major. I thought this wasn't really a "sciency" school, but it has a major called "animal sciences" whereas the college I was so sure of going to I'd have to major in biology. Now I am totally confused and I just don't know anymore! College #2 has my perfect major, but it's harder to get into, way more expensive, and I don't want to get my hopes up about it. College #1 I know has a good biological science program, is smaller, less expensive, easier to get into, I have a shot at getting into their honors program, and has a couple of bands you don't have to audition to get into, but I like the other one more now (I think). I am so confused. I need someone to help me with all of this college-nonsense!

Forgetfulness

I just read my friends' blog- the one that had the same colors as my blog. Let me tell you, I'm glad I changed mine so it wouldn't match theirs because mine is totally better looking than theirs. Oh sure, they have better posts and people actually read theirs, but mine is prettier all that's all that matters. I'm just joking around people- my friends' blog is cool looking too.

Oh crap, I just spaced out and now I totally don't remember what I was going to write about. And that pretty much describes my writing style. It kind of makes it hard to write a blog.

Nothing Important

It's thunder storming right now. My mom just screamed to get away from windows. It totally freaked me out. Immediately, I unplugged my computer(which didn't do anything because it's a laptop so then I had to shut it down), ran to put it and my flute into the closet, dragged my guinea pig's cage to the other end of the room, and ran out. Now you now how well I would act in an emergency situation. Don't worry. I went back into my room and turned on my computer and all is good in the world. You know, despite the severe thunderstorm, global warming, corrupt governments, starving children, cancer and AIDS, and all the innocent victims of war.

Tomorrow is my town's fireworks for independence day. Except, tomorrow is the third. And the parade is on the fifth. It's a little strange if you ask me. I don't mind though because I love holidays. I think they all should be spread over three days. I told that to my mom and she said that's because I'm not a mom. I'm excited though because I'm going to watch the fireworks with my friends and I get to march in the parade.

Well, I'm off now to try to find something at least semi-fun to do. Wish me luck.
