Clothing and Short People

I'm a girl, and most girls especially teenage girls like to look nice in good looking clothes right? Well its very hard to find the trendiest best fitting clothes if your 5 foot tall and even worse when your a little bit overweight.

Every time my mom takes me shopping it's a huge pain. Most of the clothing stores that I think have nice clothes (H&M, Charlotte Russe) don't really fit me well. Since I gain weight in certain places and not all over a lot of the clothes fit me in some places on my body and sticks out or squeezes in others. And when I go up a size that's the worse because then the clothes make me even look even shorter than I am and often are too long and look baggy. And when my mother actually finds clothes that fit me, I end up thinking they look ugly and are something that only she would wear out. These clothes are ususally from stores like lane Bryant, outlet stores, Chico's, and places that only people in their 40s and up would shop at.

I guess this is a sign that I need to become healthier since I always feel so lazy and week. It seems the only way I would fit into these nice clothes would be to stay constantly slim, or I could dream to grow about four inches. I just wish that I could find some stores that fit small women perfectly and look good as well.

They're Here

Today we picked up our cousins Jax and Jiniah from the rest stop (their Grandma and Mom were with them), and I am preparing for a week of headaches since with them Shannon is so hyper and loud. Also I have to type quick beacuse we are going to the carnival in a few minutes to watch fire works, its going to be so Much fun. Aaron also made baked Dounuts that didn't taste like Doughnuts, but they were okay.

New Charger

Yesterday I got my new charger to replace my old one which broke, on the other note my computer only has 8 GB left and I don't know what to do. In other news its summertime and I'm completely bored. But I won't be for long since some of my longer cousins are coming to visit in a few hours (and they are small children).I don't know why my mom invited them though since she already is stressed and they will make her even more stressed, but oh well.

Last Day

Finally today is the last day of my biology class.
I'm so happy for it to be over. Four hours straight in a classroom is far too much for me. And i'm glad that I will be able to audit it beacuse there was no way I would have passed it. It really dranined all my energy and now I will have time to full enjoy the summer. And as a learning experiance I will never take another sumemer class again. But if it wasn't for this class I would have never used septa all by myself so I have to thank it in that area. Oh, I have to go !

Yay!

Update

So its been a about a week since I last updated my blog and I wanted to share with all of you what I have been up to lately:

All of last week I was a camp counselor at the Church of the Open Door bible. I worked in the arts and craft department like I did last year, but I'm thinking next year that I might want to work in 1st grade or Kindergarten. was a little bit more tired than last year because I had to leave early for that four hour biology summer class (never taking a summer class again). It was exciting to see all the children so happy and excited (one kindergartner kept hugging me and jumping on me). Shannon (My little sister) was so adorable during the evening program on Friday because she was so into the songs.

Today I went to my homeschooling evaluation and Mrs. Naomi said that I would be able to pass to the next grade (11th) . I just need to work harder this up coming school year so my mom will have less stress and headaches at the last minute. I also missed biology class today but I emailed my teacher afterwards so I hope he understands.

My charger won't charge my laptop so I called customer service and they're sending a replacement that should be here tomorrow (second attempt). After that I will be blogging more and will upload more pictures.

A few days ago me and my sibilings went to the Clift's house for Laurie's graduation party, and I watched Phantom of the Opera with Jenny and Tori.

I also have recently discovered the joy of facebook and found alot of old friends through it.

Much Love!

Dinner

I'm sorry that I couldn't take a picture, its because my computer memory is almost full. But today was nice and while I was still tired (I stayed up too late), mom made us go to Church since that is a good way to stay sane. The sermon was okay, I think I would liked it better If I wasn't tired. And the minister was very passionate about the lord and yelled a lot (This was a Baptist Church). After the Church we went home and I just crashed on the bed and talked to mom for a while. I have so much to do now until the end of the week that its not even funny. We also gave dad his father's day's gifts (Sorry dad, we'll treat you better on your birthday) .And on the Wii fit it said that I now weigh 113 pounds (right...) So tonight I will make sure that I'm in bed early so enough energy comes to me in the morning.

Today's Dinner:

Seasoned Lamb Chops
Salted Pasta
Seasoned Kelp and etc..
Asparagus
water
Dessert: 7- Up Pound Cake

Hilay And Jackie

A few days ago I saw this wonderful movie on indieplex called "Hilary and Jackie. I thought the whole movie was so beautiful, it was about two sisters, named Hilary and Jackie who were both musicians (Hilary played the flute and Jackie played the cello). Jackie was the more loved sister and became more famous than her sister but eventually became deadly ill and slowly wasted away. The movie showed each sisters perspective in the time frame and made me cry a lot in some moments, I think everyone should see because its based on a true story of Hilary and Jacqueline du pre and so touching.

Bus Adventure

So this is what happened one day when was planning to take the bus: It was around 4:17 and after my biology class. Mom was sick and I had some extra money so she suggested that I go to the mall and she or dad would pick me up later in the day. I agreed but I wondered if the bus would take me close to home since I had seen buses pick up people close to my house before.

So I searched on SEPTA.com and found a plan your own trip schedule which I made a plan of which bus to go. When to time came to get on I payed my fare and sat down close to the bus driver in excitement. But when we were my stop I got nervous. "It's just a side walk near the road" (Referring to the bus stop) I said to myself. The bus driver saw I looked nervous and asked me if I was new to riding the bus (I said yes). Then he looked at the schedule and said it was wrong. He told me that I should wait until the end of the line in Chestnut Hill! That was so far from home, I just couldn't call mom, she'd worry too much. After a longer drive we arrived at my next stop. I cringed when I sat down next to a man smoking next to me. "I shouldn't be here, this is practically the city!" Everything there was so cold, old and damp, and it was raining a bit too. Then I signed with relief when my bus showed up just like that bus driver had said. The bus didn't exactly stop at my house, but close to it, and I had to walk on grass close to the road to get home, but it was okay. When I got closer I called my mom to let her know that I was okay and opened the door, everyone wad shocked, and even more when I told them how I got home

What a week!

Ever since Monday, a lot has happened to me.In biology class we had a few quizzes which I only got half of the questions on.

Later I went to a tutor and she told me that I bit off way more than I can chew, and that maybe I should consider a, auditing the class (taking it without credit). When I told mom, she said I just need to work smarter and stay on task. It's just really difficult because I didn't know that I was going to be taking one of the hardest classes in the whole college.

Also, we had a few labs this week (One microscope, one enzyme, and another one I forget). I lost the e-mail of the person I was working with, so I didn't know what part of questions to work on and I emailed her the questions far too late, and I feel awful, so I have to remember to apologize to them on Monday (I'm not a hands on person). And I also had an interesting bus adventure which I'll tell you about more in detail in another post.

So this weekend I just have to spend most of the time studying so I can pass this next test. I would upload some pictures, but my camera's batteries are dead so I will wait later.

Much Love,
Lindsay
