Elephantine

I have a headache and I feel pretty tired. My hives are continuously spreading and I can't seem to find any good cures on the internet.

I don't recall mentioning the sheep heart dissection in anatomy on Wednesday. I was allowed to sit out, so there's not much to say about it. Though, a cross section was shoved in my face and it looked rather steak-like. It was covered in fat and really gross.

Yesterday I served my extended day, meaning I stayed 2 hours after school, ridding the ENTIRE campus of trash. The temperature must have at least reached 95 and I don't think I've felt that dehydrated in over 3 years. The punishment feels a little illegal, but it's definitely effective.

Today I got to school on time, but the shoes I wore made blisters on my heels; I've realized most of my shoes do this. I wasn't able to turn in any of my assignments because I didn't do them, but it didn't really bother me. I got to spend a little time with Zach after completing tons of chores. Taco Bell has a pretty sweet new slushie thing deal. I recomend the mango one.

I found a bracelet that I had made in middle school. Rainbow flowers are where it's at.

I'm starting to collect things in a cardboard box that were either given to me by friends or extended family, or that I bought myself. It'll make things more convinient when I want to leave in December.

It made me laugh when my mom came home crying because she was tired. If only she knew.

My mind never sleeps.

I want to read the original Bram Stoker's Dracula, rent monster movies, apply for a library card, get a job at GoodWill, plant a garden, find a good sea salt scrub, make a wind chime out of sea shells and a dream catcher, buy silly temporary tattoos and designate one for each and every day, go to Disney and buy tons of merchandise, alter clothing from thrift stores, find ink and a screen and start screen printing, buy sidewalk chalk and spray paint to write inspiring messages on things in town with, make tons of different kinds of rainbow bracelets, go to every museum in the state, make decorative cupcake cones, find a decayed spot and take self-portraits, make whatever comes to mind out of polymer modeling clay, find tons of different masks, buy a lomography fisheye camera, learn to cook something that is really difficult to cook, buy lawn flamingos and take pictures of them in peculiar spots, write a song on one of my guitars, tie dye anything and everything in every colour possible, make a flock of origami birds with flower-printed paper, paint and make necklaces out of sea shells, find heart-shaped sunglasses, fix up the vintage alarm clock I found in my shed, paint my nails something other than black, sleep.

My God knows just how to quiet my busy mind and set my restless soul at ease.

"... He will rejoice over you..." ... and he does.
