I'm really happy latelyy.
I still have my moments, but just generally, things are pretty decent right now. Maybe it's just the time of year, and that I've been really busy lately.
All week I've had a ton of art to panic about, so I've been really focused. I've also actually been hanging out with people, babysat once, been going to the gym a lot, and fixing my sleeping patterns a bit.
Yesterday I went skating with Emily, Korrin, Kristin and Sally (a girl from my school). I was TERRIBLE and so was Emily. Korrin picked it up decently and Kristin was a boss, of course. I only managed to skate properly once, but then I was going too fast, didn't know how to stop and ended up on my side, half on the ice, half on the wood part. Derrrrrp, right in front of Sally and some random parents, and I felt like such a loser. Also I have a giant bruise. Yep, so not going skating again, ever.
Anyway, then Korrin, Sally and I went to a Shawarma place downtown and smoked sheesha. It was really weird, just sitting there in the middle of a restauranty place, smoking out of a giant hookah, though really nice too. The three of us sat there just smoking and chatting for a while and I really enjoyed it. Sheesha gives me a really nice feeling and it tastes great, though I'm not gonna make a habit out of it. Eventually Emily and Kristin joined us and we hung out there until we had to catch a bus home.
I felt a lot of anxiety, being around my closest friends and someone who I'd only talked to once or twice at school before. Sally's pretty awesome though, and hopefully she'll hang out with us more. I guess it's about time I make friends at Beal.
I have a lot of acquaintances but I don't really care for them and they barely notice I exist. The only other new person I consider close to a friend is in my art class. He's super nice and sometimes I hang out at lunch with him, just the two of us, if I can't find/don't care to see anyone I'm normally with at lunch.
Anyway. This week's gonna be busy.
Tomorrow I'm gift wrapping at the mall for volunteer hours with Emily, and then again on Friday. Wednesday I'm finishing my christmas shopping, Thursday I'm likely going to STA in the afternoon, and then ohhmygodChristmas on Sunday.

I'm excited for the holidays to start, so I can see more people, party, do art, and other stuff. :3
