Hello all! I've not been writing much because, to date, there isn't a whole lot to write about. Just keep checking back, and you'll get lucky eventually.
So last Saturday I went to a theater party and it was with the productions classes as well as the tech classes. I got to know both sides of the theater people, and I'm so excited to be working with them in shows this year. Tech too is going good but is moving extremely slow, we're just talking about the theory behind things. I've not even touched the sound or light boards yet, and that is something I'm seriously itching to do.
Today I'm going to go out and go to dinner and then some shopping with Dawn and A'Lory and I'm so excited for that, I really do need some girl time right now. It's not so much because I have drama in my life (which I still have none, and it's wonderful, and I'm relishing the moment) but because I have so many things that I need to talk about, and it's all girl stuff. I suppose I could tell a little bit of the drama, but because this person doesn't know it's about them, I'm going to keep names out of it...
So I don't know if any of my fellow readers have ever had a crush on anyone, and it's great! But I also think that it's safe to say that even if you had a crush on someone, you had at least met them in person once. Off the top of my head, I can only think of one person who this happened to (my coworker Sydnee, the relationship actually ended up working after her boyfriend moved in with her, and I'm super happy to see it working, Syd, you definitely deserve it!) and now I can make it two because it's happening to me!
So I "met" this guy through one of my other friends. She gave him my number and we've been texting ever since then. We have also Skype called, and so I've at least heard his voice and saw him (kinda) before. But we've never actually met in person because he lives far away from me. But through these texts and Skype calls, I feel I've grown close to him, and I'd say he knows me probably as well as and if not better than Tyler. I'm really hoping we can meet in person, but I don't know when or even if that would happen. But a girl can hope and dream right?
Well, now let me stray to a less serious topic. Okay, it's still serious but nevertheless. So I have managed to narrow my college list that I want to go to down to 2 colleges, University of North Texas and University of Texas at Arlington. So I was filling out applications for both, and I found that I really don't know who (legally) is my parent. Yvonne (the lady I live with now) is just a notarized guardian, but isn't court appointed. So I've been struggling to fill those out. I have tours scheduled with both colleges, so hopefully I can get the list narrowed down to just one school after that.
That's about all I have today everyone! I will once again write when I think of something deemed worthy of putting up.

A Social Life? Who knew!
Hello again everyone, I've really been slacking at this, but I'm trying, believe me, I really am.
So, since my last post, not a whole lot has really happened. I suppose I can start with school. It's been going, really slowly, but never the less, it's going. I have found my own little clique to call my own, and I feel as though I might actually be forming a social life. Last Saturday, me and my friend named Dawn went out to the movie theaters and saw "This is the End" and it was super funny! She met Yvonne and John Jay, Grandma and Grandpa, and also Miss. Jenna. I also got to meet her Nana and her family seems super nice. I am so glad that I am lucky enough to have met such awesome friends. I also have another friend whose name is A' Lory and she is super nice as well. A' Lory and I are alike in the fact that we are both super quite and rather shy, and I can see me and her getting along very well because of this.
Levi and I have been talking a bit more. We actually have been texting each other back and forth a little bit, whenever he and I find the time. Like me, he always seems to be busy doing something. And that's all right with me, because usually I'm busy doing my own thing anyways. I've learned a bit more about him and such, so that's a good thing too. I can see us being good friends down the road, and that too makes me super happy.
In Tech, I learned how to put up and take down what we call the shell. The shell is just what goes around the Band/Choir when they perform so the sound projects out towards the audience more. I was really shy and quite honestly a bit nervous to show off my nerdiness. The girl teaching us how to put it up and take it down was named Rachel, and she kept asking for volunteers to do various things. I wanted to volunteer so bad, but again, I was being shy. Finally, Rachel looked at me and said "Alyssa, I know you want to volunteer." And so I did. As I was just doing the simple task of taking a piece of the shell down, I realized just how much I missed Tech. I do think that this will quite possibly be the best decision I've ever made. I don't think I really realized just how much I missed Tech until I joined it again. I wish I could have joined again sooner, but hey. I'll take what I can get!
As far as my other classes go, they are all pretty freaking awesome. There isn't a single one that I don't like, well, subject wise. In my Entrepreneurship class, there are some students that drive me absolutely crazy. They're so stupid its painful, and quite honestly, irritating. And the stupidity isn't even the worst of it. Hearing the teacher repeat directions over and over and over again and again is really annoying too. And to top it off, the same students previously mentioned will complain about the assignments! Sure they're repetitive, but they are so stinking easy! Why would you complain about an assignment that is as easy as typing what your dream is, why it's important, and how you're going to make your dream come true? I don't know either.
That's about all I have, but when I feel the need to do so, I will for sure post again!

First Day of School... And more!
Well, I haven't posted for a while, what a slacker I am. I have so much to catch you up on, so let me get started. This is set to be a super long entry, because I have had so much happen to me these last few days!
Since posting last time, I had a lot of firsts, and one of them including getting pulled over. In my year and a half of driving experience/stupidity, I'm surprised it hadn't happened sooner. I was SOOOO scared. Well, it was for nothing. When I was pulled over, the officer (whom I have named "Walker Texas Ranger") asked to see my license and then he said "mam, do you realize that your rear license plate is hanging on by one screw?" I of course did, but I just hadn't fixed it. The head of the second screw had been sheared off, and so I couldn't put another one in there anyways. I was freaking out though. I didn't know what I had done wrong, and I think that's part of the reason I was so scared. He let me off the hook though, so it was all good. Let's hope I don't get pulled over- ever.
After that, nothing else really big happened. I got really nervous for school the day before it started. I think that was because I didn't know where any of my classes were at and I didn't know anyone. Well, those nerves were only strengthened upon entering the school for my first day. I didn't know where to go, and I felt like the loneliest fish in an ocean of people. That's the only way I could describe it. I didn't even know who the principal was! I knew literally no one. Luckily, I found someone who was also a senior and she helped me find my Homeroom and I felt a little more relieved after that. But even still, I still get those nerves.
Well, my first day either had not gone as I had planned. I picked out this super cute dress to wear my first day of school, and I was so excited to wear it and show it off. I wasn't very familiar with the dress code, and it doesn't help that the dress code is really vague and not specific. My third period, I'm a Student Aide for the Counseling Center and I just deliver papers pretty much. On my way to deliver a paper, a Vice Principal found me and pulled me aside. Well, my dress was too short apparently. I had packed pants to wear underneath just in case this did happen, and I had told that. She wouldn't let me change though. I had two options (neither counted against me, thank God), I could spend the rest of the day in ISS or she would give me permission to go home. I chose to go home, and was thus suspended essentially. I was really disappointed that's how my first day of school in a new school and new state had to go down that way. But oh well! I was really nice to the lady about everything, and she sees me in the hallway and calls me Sunshine and stuff. It's weird, but at least she doesn't give me the death glare or something.
School had got better and better after that. My first full day of classes was wonderful, and all my classes rock. I have at least one person in every class that talks to me and that's nice. As far as friends go, English is by far my favorite. Two girls from the Drill Team are nice to me and talk to me, and they even let me walk with them to our next class period since our classrooms are relatively close to each other. There's also two other girls in there that I talk to and they are both super nice. I'm feeling really lucky that they treat me so nice. In Economics I sit on my own table (which kind of sucks) but there's a guy who also sits on his own, and we talk a lot. There's a football player in that class and the class that follows (they're both taught by the same teacher, are in the same classroom, but are different classes) that is super nice to me. He's a bit of a flirt, or at least that's my first impressions of him. I'm a little awestruck that these kind of people are talking to me, seeing where people who played the big name sports never even so much as looked at me back in Utah. I'll take what I can get at this point though!
Well, I've been flirting it up with Patrick, and though the kid in Statistics/Economics has been flirting with me, I haven't really reciprocated. I've felt really guilty seeing as I still have a boyfriend and everything. I was little mad with Tyler because I didn't found out that he got his phone back from him, I found out from my best friend Tylee. I was really upset that he wouldn't tell me, and that I found out from my best friend. if I had any doubt about breaking up with him before, it was all but gone after that. He kept texting me and texting me and I just ignored him. Like I said, I wasn't very happy. Finally I texted him Friday asking if he could take phone calls. He said yeah and I called him later that evening. It was a very clean break, and I later learned that he was thinking too that maybe it was a good idea to part our separate ways. I'm a little sad, but mostly excited to get back at the dating game. As a matter of fact, I really haven't even cried! That's not bad is it?
I'm also really happy to announce that after being in and out of the hospital and not seeing the walls of home for the past month that Grandpa O. has finally come home! I really hope he stays here for a while, because a hospital is not a good place to be spending week after consecutive week in.
Well, that's all I have for right now. I think I got us all pretty much caught up! Until next time...
