First weekend of the school year..

Ever since school started, I haven't gotten a full night of really decent rest. I've only gotten enough to be able to make it through seven hours of having to attend school. APWH hella got me buggin'. It's the only class that I really only feel like I have to put so much effort into. After that, orchestra and yearbook is hard because I'm hella torn between which class really means more to me. Ugh. Keep striving. That's all I gotta say.

Today my family and I left hella early at like 7am. Last night I stayed up until 1am because we got home from Plaza Bonita around 10pm trying to get shit for Kayla's birthday. At around midnight, my dad and I lit candles on her cake, and gave her iPod to her. It was mad funny cos my dad stuffed her trashcan from her room with tons and tons of trash and put it in a birthday bag. She hella least expected to get an iPod. Anyway, we drove and got to Indio at around 9am, and chilled at the Holiday Inn til noon. After we went to this mountain where getting to the valley made our car overheat, LOL. Anyway, we took a cable car all the way up to the peak of the mountain. It was mad scary on the cable car. The restaurant food sucked, but the view was really nice. Plus, getting fresh air at 70 degrees was so much better than 115 at the bottom. After we went to Cabazon Outlet for a few hours. All I can say about the outlets is that I got a purple hoodie and two wife beaters from the Gap. Then we left and went home. Now, I'm home and hella tired. Tomorrow I have APWH reading to do on chapters 2 and 3. Then chapter 2 test on Monday and chapter 3 test on Wednesday. Tripppppy.

So, Karl's in Monterey Bay for a football tournament. First weekend of the school year, and I have no one to really talk to. It's been mad hard lately without that support system and comfort late at night to keep me going. I miss him so much. I've been feenin' to be with him a lot lately too. This long distance relationship has been a constant struggle lately, and I only hope for it to get better once school starts settling down and stuff. Everything's been so tiring lately, I just hate how both of us are on different schedules. It's time for some prioritizing. And hopefully some down time over the phone, too..

-edit- Time for pictures!

At the bottom of the mountain, waiting for the tram to go to the cable car. It was freakin' 113 degrees.


Inside waiting for the cable car we found this colorful ram thing. HAHA.


Sister, mother, moi, and brother. The little morning I'm matching with is such a killjoy.


Looking at the cables to the top of the mountain. It doesn't look too tall, but it took freakin' 10 minutes to get to the top!


The birthday girl's "scared face" HAHA.
