So I know I usually write about my day, or about something light-hearted and funny, but today I'm going to take it down a few notches...actually a lot of notches. Probably due to the overdose of hormones. Thank you mother-nature. ;)
Anyhoo, I get the biggest epiphanies at the most random times. I was walking to my car after school and suddenly I looked around at the gorgeous sunset and thought...'man there is no where else in the world I'd rather be at this moment.' I have been so busy and so consumed with my life that I haven't even got the chance to understand the fate of the situation. I know I always say, I miss home or I miss my mom...which don't get me wrong...I totally do! I just honestly believe that things happen for a reason. It could be good or bad. People hurt you so you learn that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Your parents give you tough love so you learn to grow up. You become broke so you can learn to save your money. My point is that every bad thing can be turned into a positive.
When I first found out I'd be moving 3,000 miles away from home, I wanted to crawl in a hole and never come out! After the initial shock, I went kicking and screaming....totally kidding...sorta. If I didn't move here, where would I be? Sure there are people that I miss...a lot...and things that I feel were left unfinished, but look what came knocking at my door. I love my school. I love my friends. I love my neighbor. I spend more time with the people in my class than I do at home. Sure I get down sometimes and people piss me off but looking at the big picture, all those little things don't seem to matter. There are people who have hurt me deeply but I can't let the bad things drastically define who I am on the inside.
We played this game a few days ago and after all was said and done, we realized the game represented life and all that it has to offer. Where will you go? Will you decide to change the rules? How many obstacles are you willing to jump over to get to where you want to be? And most importantly...that you need to take each day at a time. Tomorrow hasn't happened yet...so live in the present. Life is so precious and many people tend to take all that it has to offer for granted.
All of us have been let down by someone or something...ya it sucks. But like I said, people change and these things happen. You just have to take the time to sit and realize...for some reason, this is where I was meant to be at this time and place.

It's OCTOBER!
Yay! I just LOVE October. How can you not enjoy all the flavors, scents and decorations of fall? It's October 1st and I already have my Halloween costume and my Halloween decorations up! Gotta absolutely love the dollar tree. I literally spent $11 on all my decor. My neighbor/best friend did up her lawn too. We are the badasses on the block right now. Haha! Not to mention, I have sadly joined the Scentsy train and I am ADDICTED. My house smells like spicy fall. A woman could go broke off this stuff!
So school has been going awesome! I love waking up every morning to go to school. I love my classmates, my teacher, everything! Our class is 25 strong and we are all just the perfect little family. Everyone talks to everyone and we jam out everyday to all kinds of music! We have been in class for going on 3 weeks now, and I think I have learned more in these past couple weeks then I ever learned in high school. I already know how to curl hair, color hair, and braid hair. Who knew that there was actually chemistry to learn, formulas to remember, and a science to the way you apply hair color? By the way, I have already got my hair done. What a drastic change! Barbie Platinum is no longer my color...now its more like Firecracker Red. BAM! I've definitely got a lot of compliments. Why did I not become a redhead sooner??
I have lost about 5-7 pounds since the last time I blogged. I feel and look like I have lost more, but it's definitely a start! I really love my Halloween costume and it looks great on me. I just really want to lose another 10 pounds by the end of this month. I'm going to continue those diet pills and have a mini-competition with my neighbor. Let's see how this goes. I was hoping that having a "buddy", would help with the encouragement. Hopefully I am not tempted by the mounds of pumpkin cookies, pies and drinks... -_-
