R.I.P Skittles

Hey Fuzzy!

So much has happened recently! I am sooooo sorry I haven't written in awhile.

Right now, school is stressing me out. I decided to be stupid and take some hard classes (in otherwords, AP European History). Also, midterm exams are only a month or so away! AHH!

Last month, I had a sweet 16 (though it wasn't really close to my birthday... kinda procrastinated). It was fun. We had a dinosaur cake, played games such as GoldRush, etc. It was a "kids" themed party, so there was a pinata, party hats, pin the tail....etc.

Recently, it's been cold. Today, for example, had a windchill of -13 degrees F. I get to have the pleasure of running in this weather everyday for track....let's just say it gets really cold. Speaking of track...this past weekend, I got to go to a 2-day track meet. I personally thought I did horribly. Luckily, though, now I know what the track is like (since I've never done indoor), so next time should be better.

This past week, however, may perhaps have been one of the worst weeks ever. It all started last monday, december 6th. While driving home after track, we came across a pretty bad car accident. Police hadn't arrived yet, so I assume I got there a couple of minutes after it happened. It turns out a drunk driver had hit the car, killing the guy in it. To think that if I had left Food Lion just a few minutes earlier.... Then, to make the week worse, I've basically been stalked by one guy, and I found out that one of my best friend's ex's (also one of my twin's ex's) likes me....how wrong is that?! Then, of course, I did terribly in the track meet. Also, this past saturday, the 11th, I found my gerbil, Skittles, dead. I miss her soooo much! I got her in 7th grade (I'm currently in 10th). I remember choosing her because she was the most energetic. Through the past few years, she has seen me struggle with depression, struggle with body image, fight trich, the few times I tried cutting, the death of my uncle, etc. It's just been terrible.

I cannot wait until christmas. It's so soon!!! Oh yea, I still haven't pulled a single hair from my scalp. However, other places haven't been so great...not terrible, but still not great....

Well it's well past my bedtime on a school night, so goodnight!
