It's nights like these that put hair on your chest

A lot of things happened today.

First I woke up and went to go get coffee with my friend, which was fun.

Then I went home, cleaned my bathroom and went to go play football at the park with theater kids. I absolutely love football. It's one of the only things that can make me happy without fail. I can release all of my emotions through playing. I love proving myself to people, especially big tough guys that don't think I can play. Football is very important to me.

Then I went to work at 5:30 and we got slaaammed, which was a little stressful. And I had to close, so I was there until around 10:30, and I'm very very tired and sore right now. But I met the coolest guy in the world. He called me adorable, which made me smile :P And we talked for like 20 minutes about everything. I'm seriously going to stay in touch with him via Facebook.

Today was a good day, and tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I can't wait to hang out with my brothers and eat lots of delicious food. I better enjoy tomorrow because I work Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Yay! I also plan to completely finish my college applications for UCs and CSUs tomorrow. That will definitely take a lot of stress away. Well goodnight.

"How could you think you saw them, unless you saw them?!"

Well the play is officially over, which feels really strange. I know that I only had a small part, but I was so happy just to get that. I was in theater last year and I was kind of friends with the people there, but not really. Just through this play I've grown a lot closer to people, well at least I hope I have. I really think that I'm making friendships that will last throughout the year. And this year I really needed to branch out and meet new people, and I'm glad I was able to do that. I'm really proud of everyone in the show, they are all such incredible actors. I plan on auditioning for the spring show, but I don't know if I'll make it, but I will definitely help out backstage if I don't, cause there's no way I'm not going to be a part of the spring show in some way.

The deadline to apply for UCs and CSUs is coming up very quickly and I'm stressing out. I'm going to spend the next couple of days finishing that up. I can't wait until first semester is over and I can start to relax a little. I feel so overwhelmed with everything, I just want to fall asleep and never wake up and dream for the rest of my life, too bad that's not possible.

I've had to deal with rejection lately, some subtle and some directly. And I'm trying my best to deal with it, and I think I'm doing alright. I know that rejection is a part of life and being upset about it 24/7 isn't going to solve your problems or make them disappear. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and I'm doing my best to stick to that philosophy.

Is that a 12-year-old boy? Oh wait, it's Hannah.

I got a faux hawk today. I was super nervous, but I really wanted to do it. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. I'm scared to see people's reactions tomorrow. I wonder how many times I'll get called a dyke or something similar to that? Whatever, I'll get over it. I did this for me, so I'm going to do my best to not care what people think.

This Tuesday feels like Friday

College applications are due soon and I'm stressing out. I'm just worried that I won't get into any college, so I'll have to go to community college. I have nothing against community college, I just don't want to live in the desert after high school.

The play is coming up pretty fast, and I'm very excited. It's the first play I've ever been in and I love it. Even though my part is very big, I love hanging out with everyone during rehearsal. I'm going to be sad when it's over.

I've made some new friends recently, which makes me happy, hopefully that continues.

The first trip of Youth and Government is coming up this weekend and I can't wait to get out of the desert and away from school and all of its stressors for awhile. I'm bummed this is my last year in Y&G, but I'm going to make it count.

I'm getting a faux hawk tomorrow, and I'm pumped. I'm also quite scared. But it's just hair, so if it sucks it'll just grow out and life goes on right?

Girls are confusing. The end.

Overdue First Entry

Well I thought I was going to write in this all the time during my senior year, but I haven't been doing a good job at it...hopefully that'll change.

Senior year has been interesting so far, it feels like so many things have happened and it's going by quickly. It may sound cliche but I've done a lot of growing up this past summer/the beginning of the school year. I've learned to focus on myself more, making sure I'm happy should be one of my top priorities. But I want to do that while making other people happy. I love doing things for people, it makes a lot of people uncomfortable, but it's just who I am.

I now have a job and am starting to pay for my own things. I have my own bank account. I have a part in the school play (a small part, but a part nontheless). I'm doing pretty well in my classes for school. I'm applying for college. I'm stressing out about applying for college. I'm trying to make my senior year memorable. I feel responsible, but mostly I just feel busy.

Another thing, I'm making new friends this year and becoming closer to the friends I already have. I'm really happy about this because it was one of my goals before the school year started. I have a feeling this is going to be a very interesting year.
