make your mark

conclusion i've come to: it's not a secret if more than one person knows.
i'm back in my shell again, not trusting ANYONE [minus mr. riley portal]. this is a bad place to be in, and i know it, but i can't help it. i've been betrayed too many times. the truth hurts, but sometimes things are just meant to be kept to oneself. if more than one person knows, then there is no guarantee of that.

i'm finally on spring break. the list of activities is endless. i've got a hair appt, college visit, mini golf, mongolian bbq, movie night, and lots of other stuff planned. i'm going to spend a lot of time with the south sac kids. i have to work on history, my gatsby essay, and my spanish project. i'm going to paint. i want to have a lot of fun, get a lot done, and get things in order so that i can get out of my current state and finish out this semester well. i have SAT's and Ap testing coming up in just over a month. i need to minimize my distractions and maximize my work ethic.

today lent was over, so albert, sarah wong, and j.r. and i went to denny's. i had some chicken strips and i honestly wanted to cry when i took the first bite. this vegetarian thing has been good for me, but i'd die without chicken. i had dinner at stephanie's and ate a little steak, but i wasn't impressed. i can do without it.
at stephanie's we played wii for hours. i'm getting pretty good at the tennis and the baseball. it's really a lot of fun and gives you quite a workout if you treat it like real sports. emily and her little friend ryan [i call him ryry, but not to his face] came home from golfing and we all chatted and then ate dinner. after dinner we went bowling. i tried to beat ryry, since i am such a fabulous bowler, but he ended up beating me. it was a lot of fun. i really like stephanie and her family. ryry is practically family since he and emily will get married someday. hahah. i think it is really cute how emily and ryan like eachother and make any excuse to hug or touch. he leans his head on her shoulder when they sit on the couch. i'm honestly a bit jealous, but i'm also very happy for emily.

i'll update more on the break later, naturally.
