My foot hurts & my "twin"

As I'm typing this, my foot is on my computer desk. It's quite a sight. Apparently the doctor thinks I popped a blood vessel in my foot this morning. So now the bottom of my foot and side of it is all swollen and bruised (isn't that nice to know?) As a result of my inability to move much the next few days, expect quite a bit of blogging. I love just walking around at random places like stores, or at the mall, so me being stuck laying down is probably going to drive me crazy. It's already gotten a bit annoying.

Since I mentioned the word "annoying", I'm going to talk about another thing that's rather irritating: the fact that everyone thinks my sister and I are twins.

Most people would wonder why I find that kind of annoying. Some of the time it doesn't bother me at all. I think the reason that it does is that my sister is four years younger than I am. True story: at my old job, my sister came in to see a movie. She comes walking up to the concession stand that I was working at that night. Once she leaves, my co-worker says all serious "Is that your older sister?" GAHHHHH! It wouldn't be so bad if people hadn't told me I have a baby face. I think my face looks appropriate for my age, but I never thought I looked younger than I do. So frustrating. When I post a couple of prom pictures, you guys can tell me the truth about my babyface features. I just need to upload the pictures which I'll probably do later.

Don't kill me.

I feel sooooo bad I haven't blogged in who knows how long. I actually feel kind of embarassed. But before you guys kill me for not posting in FOREVER, I'll update you on everything I've been up to.

I doubt anyone remembers, but I mentioned a few times I didn't get into the university I had dreamt of going to since I was really young. Well, turns out I didn't get in because of a GLITCH in the computer system. Yes, I didn't get in because of a bug in their computer. I won't go into details of exactly what happened, because that would take like a hour to explain. I was pretty upset. But if there's one thing that I've learned in this adventure called life it's that things happen for a reason.

At that point, I just decided to go to my local community college for a few years since it would be a cheaper alternative to going away (my original first choice college was also in my hometown). I'm not gonna lie, I was a little bummed about the whole thing. I felt like I had worked so hard and it was all for nothing. Well on the community college's website I found a scholarship that would give me a free ride to their school. I applied and I thought I actually had a good chance at getting it.

I was wrong. I didn't get it. Not only did I not get into a university I thought I had a good chance of getting into, I couldn't even get a scholarship for a community college. I'm not trying to insult anyone or anything with the whole community college thing, but I felt ripped off and felt like a loser (as stupid as that sounds now).

Basically all of this led to me being really down for a few months. Things were really rough and I was miserable. The thing that kept me going was the fact that I was almost done with high school.

Things kind of sucked for a while, but it seems like they're turning around (I hope I don't jinx it). I ended up getting other scholarships through my high school and through other foundations that the community college, so I have enough money to pay for my first year. That made it a little better. I quit my terrible job. That also made things a little better. I got my license (FINALLY) last week, and that definitely made me happy. And I graduated this past weekend. I am so glad high school is over, it hasn't even sunk in yet.

I'm trying to think of other things to update you guys on. Hm..I went to my high school prom. Parts of it were fun, but the actual dance was boring. If you guys wanna see pictures of my dress, I'll post them.

I suppose that's it for now. I hope a few of you guys are still at least subscribed to my blog after my long period of absence.
