Naps are such a lovely thing. I took a nap today and it was fantastic. Middle of the afternoon, nothing better to do, eyes slowly shutting as I try to type. I finally put down my laptop, turned up my electric blanket, snoozed for a good 2 hours.
One thing I find interesting is to listen to other people's conversations when they think you're asleep. My bedroom is connected to the living room, so I can hear every conversation that takes place in there.
Naps seem like quite the necessity nowadays. Nowadays being the winding down of my senior year. I don't have a job and all of my extracurriculars are over, so I'm left with empty afternoons that are perfect for naps.

If you read a blogger's blog...
they'll want a comment too!
I feel like I've burned a lot of bridges this year, without even meaning to. I know a couple I've been able to mend, but some are pretty heavy on my heart at the moment.
Like most humans(pure speculation there) I have a hard time admitting when I'm wrong. I have an even harder time apologizing and actually meaning it. There are some people that I absolutely pour my heart out to. But few of them live in Billings. I have a difficult time expressing my feelings, til they're so strong that I'm in tears. That is something I really need to work on.
Self improvement or self loathing?
Right now I feel kinda terrible because I know I did something wrong, but in trying to fix it, I think I exploded the problem to be a lot worse than if I had kept my mouth shut. I know it was the right thing to do, and I'm proud of myself for making the decision, but I still feel bad.
*Sigh* The right thing is rarely the easy thing, but in the end I know I'll be better off.
There are a lot of ways to screw something up. Even though I'm trying so hard not too, every time I turn around, I have. I'm beginning to second guess myself, and I think that's gonna be even worse.
Words of wisdom would be appreciated now.
Thanks

^ The day everyone was happy ^
I did it. I was happy today :) I did complain a little about my arms hurting from the shots I got today, but I wasn't unhappy, just in a little but of pain. I'm actually quite happy I got the shots. I shall now be protected! ooh rah.
Today really was a good day. I did scholarships, started my fafsa, found my dad a birthday present, and bought half price easter candy!
If I just remember that everyday should be a happy day, maybe they will be.
Here's to many many happy days to come!

College and the like
In about November I decided I would be going to Rocky Mountain College to continue my education. I applied in January and was accepted about a week and a half later. In mid February I received a letter that congratulated me on receiving an $11,000 scholarship from the school. I then did early action and was an official Rocky student on February 15.
Since my acceptance I've received countless letters from school officials including the president of the school, deans, and councilors. I don't know if that is normal because Rocky was the only school I applied to. But whether it is or not, it makes me feel welcome there.
Yesterday was my first official campus visit. My mom and I met with my admission councilor Austin and talked about the school. He informed me that about 20 students from Senior will be at Rocky next year, and there were around 20 from last year too. This puts me at ease because I only knew 3 or 4 kids from Senior that were going there.
After talking for a few minutes, the three of us walked to the cafeteria to eat lunch. The variety wasn't too big, but the open-face turkey sandwiches my mom and I had were delicious.
Austin told us there were about 1000 students at Rocky. I really like that. He said the average class size is about 14 students with the largest being 60. Throughout my campus tour is saw nearly all(7) of the students that I know currently attend Rocky. That goes to show how small the place really is. But it also made me feel very at home. It's practically impossible for me to walk across campus without seeing someone I know. And I only know .01 of the population.
The buildings and grounds are very inviting too. The landscaping is just beautiful. The dorms aren't really that great, but I'm sure they are livable.
All in all, I'm now very excited to go to Rocky and I'm no longer hesitant that I made the right choice in schools. I can't wait for high school to be over and to move on to bigger things.

Everything I did on Easter, well almost everything.
I had a fantastic easter! What more could a person ask for, wake up in a hotel, get easter presents from parents($15 gift card for OTL,) eat a great breakfast, work out, go swimming with my little brothers and cousins, attempt to teach my littlest brother how to swim, go home, Facebook!, read the news online, peel potatoes for some good ol' smashed potatoes for easter dinner, shower, put on my easter dress, drive to lockwood for family dinner, eat a very lovely dinner at 2:30 pm with my entire family(17 of us,) talk with the grownups(I'm one of them now,) decorate yummy strawberry cupcakes with the kids, hide easter eggs for the kids, sit around full from dinner, eat more dessert(coconut creme pie and strawberry cheesecake,) sit and talk with the adults some more, drive home, Facebook!, read the bible, nappy time(at least 2 hours,) have a bizarre dream, wake up minutes before I get a text that would have woken me up anyway, smile, get ready to go out, go out, read Rich Dad Poor Dad for an hour, leave, get halfway home, go back, and the rest is for me to know and you to find out!
This was probably pretty boring, but when recounting what I actually did today in detail, I realized I had a pretty busy day with out realizing it at the time. :) I'm pleased and hope everyone had as great of a day as I did.

What's this all about?
Did you know talking in only questions can be quite fun? Is it challenging?
Is Oak Express natural? What else could keep Tim, Kade and I entertained for over an hour? Are you questioning our sanity? How could you not?
Do we enjoy pie a little too much? Did we have an epic evening of pie, cards and questions?
Was I wearing 3-D glasses with the lenses popped out? Did we rape that caramel apple pie? Why don't you decide for yourself?
Do you want to join us next time?
