NEW HAIR!

I FINALLY got my hair cut!

I'm really super excited about it! It's a LOT shorter. Even though it may not look like it...

But I got 5 1/2 inches off! And got my bangs back! (YAY!) and I'm really super pumped! I love everything about it, except I wish I would've gotten more layers:/

But, OH WELL!

And now for the pictures!

Before:

It's a little hard to tell, but it went about an inch above my elbow. (P.S. this was at the Mall of America, and I was super excited when I found Bubba Gump's)

After:

That's after I got it cut yesterday! (It's as long as the bottom of the picture, so it's about three inches past my shoulder?)

:D

bracelets:)

So, (geeze Louise! Do I start every post like that?) I wear lots of bracelets. Only on my left wrist (I can't stand them on my right wrist I don't know why, it's just a weird pet peeve of mine) and lots of colors!

I am currently wearing 5. I used to wear six, but I gave up on it, because it never faced the right was (it was made out of shells and was criss-crossed with elastic, but the shells would always flip around, so you'd only see the elastic).

And I wear them in a specific order. Except they never stay in that order, but this is the order I

put them on in:

1. My beaded BFF bracelet with Miranda:) it says Miranda and Nicole Bffs. It makes me smile

with all it's random beads. I made one for Miranda too. They are quite colorfully-tastic.

2. Second to go on is my purple/blue/green/yellow friendship bracelet that Miranda made me. It's totally awesome! It's the second biggest bracelet, so that's why it goes on second:)

It looks most like the one on the far left or second in on the right:)

3. My other seashell bracelet. It keeps the bracelets symmetrical. Because I'm OCD like that. I'm pretty sure I got it for like two dollars at Claire's but, I love it because it is summery:)

That one actually looks like my other one, but oh well:)

4. MY ARIEL BRACELET. I don't know if I've talk about this, but I am Little Mermaid obssessed. I love Ariel! She is my favorite Disney Princess, and oh, I forgot to mention that I am Ariel. She's like, my Hannah Montana.

5. Last, but not least, is my sailor-ish bracelet. It is red, white, light blue, dark blue, and black.

Miranda made it also, and said she was making it for herself, but she knew my obssession with nauti

cal stuff, and thought the colors worked for me:) It's also another friendship-ish bracelt

Nails

Last Saturday, Miranda and I decided to go get our nails done.

She bites her nails, and wanted something to prevented herself from biting them. I got them, because I had dance pictures and I thought it would be cool. Plus, I've had them before, and I absolutely loved them before, so, I decided I get them, and probably keep them all summer for dance recital and senior pictures:)

So, we went to the mall (I drove!) and got them done:)

I love mine. Miranda hates hers. I've been trying to keep them from growing too fast, and Miranda has been biting hers off. She put me on patrol to stop her from doing it. But she bites them anyways. Darn her.

But anyways, mine are here to stay. Hers? I don't think so.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

So, guess what guys! (quote by Nicole)

I THINK I DISLOCATED MY TOE AGAIN:(

I have NO idea how I did this, but I realized as I was halfway down my driveway, that my foot was throbing. It hurt to put any kind of weight on it!

Let's recall yesterday in any explanation as to how this would have happened:

Woke up at 6:00. Got ready for school, made a PB&J, filled up my sister's coffee mug with milk, and headed for the door. Obviously you know it's going to be a good day when you have a PB&J for breakfast. It's just the physics of life.

I got to school on time, not late like I was on Wednesday. So there was a good sign.

School goes by fine. Nothing exciting or different. Normalness. Completely.

I get home, work on homework. Catch up on everything. It's all good.

Mom picks me up to take me to work, and I even get to drive to work. AND! I get there early (which is rare, because my mom gets off work at 4:30, and I work at 5:00. Plus, there's rush hour traffic, so it takes ridiculus long to get there, because it's kind of on the other side of town).

So, I'm in a good mood. Work isn't too bad, Bobbi and Karly are there, and they're both hilarious to talk to, so it goes by pretty fast.

Here's where I think I did it. Both Bobbi and Karly had left (because I close) and I was alone with these four kids. Both bigger sister and little brother. Their names, Hannah and Luke, and Grace and Jarrett. They're all cute kids and their bigger, so I was letting them do cartwheels and handstands because that's all they wanted to do. The floor underneath the carpet is complete cement. And I thought I'd show them a backwards summersalt. But, that's the only thing that comes to my mind that I could've possibly done that would've hurt my foot. But when I did them, I don't recall it hurting my foot, it hurt my head because of the cement slab of a ground covered by a millimeter of carpet. So, I honestly don't know what I could have POSSIBLY done:(

Show Choir...

So, the show choir lists are coming out tomorrow at 9:00 pm. And I know I am not alone when I say this: I'M SO NERVOUS! Honestly, I know a lot of people aren't quite as nervous as me though, because, next year's my senior year, and it would be kind of devistating. Anyways, I have work to keep me busy up until the moment of truth, but work always goes by slow for me, and I have a feeling that it's going to crawl by tomorrow.

Anyways...until then:/

DANCE RECITAL!

To go along with my last post, DANCE RECITAL is also right around the corner!

Dance recital always coencides with the end of the school year. Literally this is my schedule:

Monday: Last full day of school. Second on-stage rehearsal.

Tuesday: Finals 0-2 hours.

Wednesday: Last of my finals. Third on-stage rehearsal.

Thursday: Going to my middle school to visit old teachers!:) Dress rehearsal until like, 10.

Friday: Work. Dance recital. Sleepover?

Saturday: Junior and Primary dress rehearsals.

Sunday: Junior and Primary dance recitals.

It's crazy.

Like,

complete

utter

chaos.

But honestly, it is the best time of the year.

Not even an exaggeration (yes, I know earlier I said summer is the best time of the year. It's got nothing on dance recital). It's just the atmosphere, and we get to perform what we've worked on ALL year. It's just the best feeling ever! Not to mention, family and friends come to watch you and you feel pretty darn special;)

But anyways, this is the craziest year by far, for me. I'm in nine dances in the Senior show. And troupe performs at Junior and Primary, so, there's also that. Not to mention, Eileen and Katie (a teacher and TA...who a class teach together) won't be there, so I took it upon myself to help that class out during the Primary show (because half the kids in the class, I had in my class last year!)

But I love it. I've known that place since I was three (actually even earlier than that, because my mom's been teaching at Donna's since she was prego with me...hahaha) and the atmosphere of that place, and how warm it gets and how it smells, it's just one of those childhood connections I have!

But here's the schedule for whomever might want it:)

Friday June 11th: Senior show at 7:00 pm

Sunday June 13th: Primary show at 11:00 am (I believe...)

Sunday June 13th: Junior show at 4:00 pm

:D

IT'S ALMOST THE END OF THE YEAR!

Okay. As of today, there is officially FOURTEEN days of school left! (Except for some people like me, because I don't have any finals on the last day of school YAY!)

:D

Anyways, after AP tests, classes basically become bogus. Because seriously, teachers are sick of school too! Here is what today consisted for me today:

0 Hour: Movie.

1st Hour: Worksheet.

2nd Hour: Read/Work on project (with the option of going outside).

3rd Hour: Presentations/Not really paying attention/catching up on homework/sudoku.

4th Hour: Singing (choir...and only for half the hour).

5th Hour: Catch up on homework (study hall...LAME).

6th Hour: District test/that test doesn't count for anything.

See? teachers don't even want to teach anymore! (Who blames them? I'm sick of being there, and I'm sure they feel the same about me...hahahaha) :)

And honestly, the classes get filled with more and more free time. AND THE MOST ANNOYING THING ABOUT THIS IS: If the Cedar Rapids School District was as smart as the Linn-Mar School District, we'd be out even a week earlier. And you all know what I'm talking about.

WE LIVE IN GOD FORSAKEN IOWA! It snows sooooooo much here! We need more than two built-in snow days. Linn-Mar is smart and build in AT LEAST a week's worth of snow days, so they're out close to on time, or even earlier! Now those people got this right. Think about it, when we got snow days, we could just be happy all-round, because we're not in school until half-way through June!

That's all I'm saying...

Anyways, minus that minor detail, I'M SUPER STOAKED! I mean, summer is LITERALLY, right around the corner. HOW EXCITED ARE YOU?

Cause, I'm pretty darn excited:)
