I just realized that I totally meant to stay up on New Years and watch the first sunrise of the year (like in that anime, Fruits Basket) but it completely slipped my mind.
And I just remembered on Januray 14th.
Next year, next year (but what if I'm dead by then? That would be a problem).

I'm so-o-o tiiiiired...
Ugh. Haven't slept much since school started again. Earliest is midnight (Friday doesn't count).
Anyway, right now I'm taking a mini-break from my Physics homework because I think I might fall over dead if I keep writing about electrons flying off and doing things, or whatever that stuff was. Also, in those long hours of sitting by myself in the dead night, I've decided that "I'm so tired" by The Beatles pretty much describes my life right now.
I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No,no,no.
The only reason for not fixing myself a drink would be the fact that I lack the energy to unfold my spindly-feeling little legs and hobble downstairs, where the alcohol and other goods are stored. Come to think of it, though, them legs somehow lift me right up and jog over to my bed when I finally finish my homework each night (or morning, whatever).
It must be magic.
Anyway, it's pretty much a ritual for me now to listen to the White Album and sing along in my head while I curse my Mac (I want my PC back, but... I can't... the Mac is so glossssy, yesss it itssss. But I still hate the effing mouse and the effing keyboard).
And now back to work... what was it? Electrons? Yeah, I think so.

Predictions
Oh, this sucks. I'm back in school, and I've only had one decent night's sleep (well, almost decent. I didn't actually get eight hours, it was more like six and a half, plus a half-hour nap on a couch in a moment of weakness).
Anyway. This year I thought instead of making resolutions, I would make predictions. That way, I won't feel guilty when I don't accomplish anything.
Predictions fro 2008
1. I will keep on being a freak-magnet (out of four guys I've accidentally attracted this school year- that I know of, anyway-, three of them were twits. It's not that much numerically, but think of it this way: that's 75%)
2. I'll teach my friends to play Mancala.
3. I will grow 5 cm, it's now or never. I WILL GROW.
4. Oh yeah you're pretty good looking... for a girl, my future's wide open. But this feeling's still gonna linger on until I know everything I need to know now! *dances on the inside*

A few hours left in the year
...and I'm still waiting for something really good to happen so that in years to come, I can be all,
"2007? Of course I remember! That was the year _____"
and thus be able to conclude that it was a cool year with lots of memorable stuff.
Except the blank is still blank. I mean, sure I could fill it up with bad stuff (I started at a new school where I was socially disadapted and didn't actually make new friends so I frantically clung to the ones I already had, my laptop died, I got addicted to anime and thus have wasted countless hours, I failed three classes [trimester, not the whole year... yet], my dog punched me, I tripped, and a bunch of other stuff that didn't get written about because they're too complicated, too personal, I never got around to it, I forgot them or were simply too boring). But bad stuff is not what I'd like to remember a whole year by. You can't always have what you want, though, so I guess that's that. 2007 sucked.
But seriously, I can't think of anything outstandingly good that's happened.
Oh, well.
I never got around to my resolutions. And I quote:
Try to pay attention in certain classes (Key word: try. Hee hee hee).
Well, I suppose I did try, regardless of the fact that I didn't actually do it. Okay, then. Check!
Get more money... somehow.
Oh, I did! I spent it all at anime conventions, though. Check!
Sleep more.
That would be hard to not do. I probably slept less than I did last year, but I did, technically, "sleep more". Check!
Buy a monkey and name it Morrison.
Failed miserably. Not check.
Water my plants before they start to shrivel up.
I actually did try to take care of my plants, so I took one, watered it, and set it outside so that it could get some real sunlight, because in my room -where it normally resides- it doesn't get much light.
The thing is, I forgot it was out, and it rained.... and, well, it's a desert plant. That didn't go well. That was a few months ago, maybe in September or so. Anyway, it's almost recovered. Ummm... Half-check, because I tried.
Hm. 3.5 out of 5. That's not actually that bad! Okay, the final verdict on this year is:
It sucked, I wasn't particularily happy a lot of the time (in fact, I spent a good portion of time feeling really miserable) although I guess it had its moments, like all those times in secundaria when my ex-classmates threw garbage at each other, or when my sister and I freaked a few people out by dancing energetically in a public place... twice. The worst bit, all in all, was preparation course for Prepa. Sitting in an ugly little room, listening to the Chemistry teacher make strange and unclear analogies, the Math teacher explain simple stuff and make it seem hard, the Civics/History teacher hold long and pointless conversations with my classmates, the Physics teacher explain the only suff I already understood (I still don't know how he did it. I'm a total klutz in Physics, and yet he found my tiny enlightened patch of knowledge, and didn't expand it at all), the Geography teacher explain elementary-level stuff, and sitting on a bench by myself for 20 minutes at recess because all the other students were busy fiddling with their cell phones. The whole time, every time. I swear, I felt like putting them in a little pile and then jumping on them (the phones) because their owners spent every spare second -literally- playing with them, comparing them, talking about them...
Oh, and about my Math teacher from that course... sometimes, her son would act as a substitute teacher and make really basic mistakes while explaining stuff. I remember once he looked at the board after doing something wrong and said, "Wait, that's not the right answer... Uh, can anyone find the mistake?" Due to my superior brainpower (mwahahaha) I'd known it was there all along, but decided not to say anything and see how long it took him to figure it out. He never did, and neither did my classmates.

I got sidetracked there.... Anyway, what I was saying was, 2007 overall wasn't that bad... I guess. I now await 2008 and any surprises it might have in store for me, like passing Physics with a perfect 10 or maaybe winning the lottery.

Livin' la vida (not) loca
Three weeks of holidays. Seems reasonable,doesn't it?
After dreary months of slaving away, getting up every single miserable day reeeeeal early because I have to get to school by seven (and on Thursdays, it's 6:50, because there's Physics and our teacher rules by her own watch; you'd be foolish to knock on the door to see if she lets you in after class has started. If you're lucky, she'll ignore you. Where was I? Oh, yes, have to be at school by seven) because of course I couldn't get a nice, reasonable timetable, with one or two days where I get in at nine, or an easy-going Monday at the very least. Oh no, I get an early start, with all the boring/creepy classes first and then hard classes, at the very end of the day I (sometimes) get the classes I enjoy, i.e., French, except by then I'm too tired and bored to make much of an effort.
So, three weeks of holidays sounds like a nice prospect, thinks I.
I went to the movies, went out with my friends, went to an anime convention, watched a lot of aninme, read some books, did the whole Christmas thing, watched a lot of Corner Gas, and then -finally-, today I was so bored I actually did some homework. :gasp:

Well, another Dec. 25th has gone by...
...and all I got was a duct tape wallet and a doll stuffed with plastic bags (both from my loving sister, Isabel. If you're reading this, thanks! That teddy (or... doll... um, that thing) is just adorable).
And an iPod.
Teehee.
And an iPod.
Teehee.

BREAKING NEWS
Two days before Christmas: shopping malls are stuffed, roads are stuffed, toy shops are stuffed with lazy parents, parking lots are stuffed, turkeys are stuffed- in short, the population appears to have spontaneously duplicated and then proceeded to crawl out of their hidey-holes and plug up the city, compulsively buying, buying, buying!
They are expected to go back to where they came from tomorrow, and then spontaneously combust on the 25th. Look forward to fireworks.
