Snow, Feels, and My Eyelid

Hello everyone! Today is going to be a little bit random and disjointed, mostly because I'm on a five day weekend (yay, snow!) so I'm not really focusing much, and also because I'm having a lot of feels (yay, fandoms!)

First, snow, I think. This storm brought us what we're calling Winter Break, Part 4. Yeah. 4. I honestly don't remember the last time I had a full five day-week of school. We are going to be so screwed during March, since we won't have any three-day weekends or any chance of snow days. But, I'm just going to enjoy it while it lasts! We got about a foot of snow on Wednesday night, so we got Thursday and Friday off. I've actually spent a while outside, which is unusual for me, since I'm not a fan of being cold and wet. (Although, really, is anyone?) The rest of the time I've spent either doing homework or reading, which is my idea of a perfect weekend.

And now feels, because I am so full of them right now, and my dad has no idea what I'm talking about. It started with rereading Divergent yesterday. I could barely make it three pages without seeing something that made me want to curl up in the corner. Some of it was from the end of the book, some of it was from the end of the series..... just a lot of feels. Then, just a little while ago, I decided it would be a good idea to listen to the soundtrack from Series 3. Seriously?!?! Why did I mot realize that was a bad plan! It's very good, and I did really enjoy it, but some of those tracks.... Mostly the ones from HLV, now that I think about it.

Finally, my eyelid. Yesterday morning I woke up and my left eyelid was folded weirdly. It just had an extra crease under the normal crease, and I don't know why, but it is still like that. It kind of makes me look like half of the really derpy character from Animal Crossing: Wild World, the one that makes you restart your game if you accidentally get him/her.

Hopefully it will go away before I have to go out in public!

Oh! Also, I had my first thought in French in the shower Tuesday night. This was very exciting, since my teacher said that once you start thinking in a different language, you're on your way to being fluent. And I really want to be fluent! (This is the same teacher who told us that if we get a 5 on our AP exam senior year she'll spend an entire day teaching us every French swear word she knows. I love this teacher!)

I know, not a very interesting post this week. I still have two more days before I have to go back to school, so I'll try to use that time to write a really good one for next week! Talk to you soon!

Misogynistic Pop

Before you ask, no, this is not about sexist soda. If you're looking for that, go ask Dr. Pepper. (No? Too obscure? OK.)

So I just got home from the winter semiformal at my nerd school, and it was surprisingly fun. This may shock you, but I don't do that much social stuff, so dances aren't really my thing. I took my best friend, who does not attend said nerd school, and she forced me to dance. To horrible music. Yes, not only am I antisocial, I also don't listen to "normal" music. My favorite playlist has a mixture of Star Trek, the Ohio State band, and classic rock. So I'm not a fan of the kind of music that was played tonight, which objectifies women and has a swear word every four seconds. This was especially awkward as the dance was held in a synagogue, but eventually I just started blocking out the words. All in all, I did have a pretty good time, though, so I think it was worth it!

I'm going to the sing-along version of Frozen tomorrow with my guard friends and I am SO EXCITED!!!!! We will probably be the oldest ones there, but we will sing the loudest and the proudest and I have no idea where I'm going with this. I actually think it's really interesting that teenagers seem to enjoy Disney movies more than the target audience. Like Wednesday, when we had a snow day, and I spent the day watching old Disney movies and had a fantastic time. (Hercules, anyone?)

I hope you had a wonderful week, and I will talk to you next Saturday night three minutes before my deadline soon!
