happy maggie.

It's beautifullll outside today! I mean, it's tech week for our musical but even that isn't bringing me down. I honestly haven't felt this happy in a very long time. Hopefully the rest of the week will be this beautiful. Spring break and the end of the year are approaching and I'm sooo ready to be out of school. Sitting in class is a form of awful torture. I have a reaaaally bad case of senioritis...

oh hey.

I guess I still have a blog. I went through and re-read a lot of my posts and it's really cool to be able to have a first hand account of the little details of my senior year, so I figured I should maybe get back into the swing of this. I know, it's been foreverrrr, but a  ton of shit has gone down in the last month.

Like 3-ish weeks ago (it feels like sooo much longer!), my parents and I went to Orlando to go to Disney World and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Needless to say, it was a fabulous fabulous trip and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, even if the weather didn't necessarily cooperate.. freezing cold isn't exactly the way I like Florida to be, but we made the best of it! We stayed at the Boardwalk resort on the Disney grounds and it was beautiful. The location was perfect, the room was fantastic and the atmosphere was still very Disney, in a more subdued, elegant fashion. It's so hard to believe that this was the last big family vacation to Disney we'll go on until I have my own kids... we used to go every 18-ish months when I was younger! It's like the end of an era, very bittersweet.

Also, cheer season is officially over!! I am so so so glad that phase of my life has come to a close. I can't really say I miss it much... actually, I don't miss it at all. Musical has sort of filled up the free time cheer left me with, so I'm still busy, which is good. I guess I probably haven't even written anything about the musical in here... We're doing "The Boy Friend" and I have the role of Nancy, which isn't a hugeee part, but I'm happy and I've gotten really close with a lot of the other cast members. We go off book in rehearsals on Tuesday and it's starting to freaaaak me out. Our first show is in 12 days, it's crunch time and I'm getting nervous! Today, Jackie and I sang a duet for solo/ensemble contest, which I thought went really well, but we'll find out what the judge thought on Monday. And last but not least in new news, Adam dumped me. Not gonna hash out the details for the internet to read but it's been and will be a long healing process and I figured it was important enough to document on here. So, once musical is over, I will officially have a shit ton of free time and I need a job badly. Yippee... can't wait. Oh well... such is life. I'll be leaving this hell-hole of a town for college and the great big world in like 5 months anyway, thank goodness. I know I say this all of the time on here but I literally have the greatest friends in the whole world. They have all been so helpful and supportive in the last few weeks with everything, I would probably be a hot mess without them. I owe them everything for all that they've done for me.

best ride at epcot, hands down.

family <3

at Olivander's wand shop :D i was chosen to have the 'wand choose me'. greatest experience ever.

hogwarts!

whoops.

To be completely honest with you, I totally forgot I had a blog until yesterday. Yepp... that's how crazy everything has been. I got my wisdom teeth taken out not too long after Christmas break and that put me out for almost a week because of dry sockets. Which meant I had a ton of school work to catch up on (and I'm still working on catching up in pre-cal... I swear, that class was thought of by the devil himself). Immediately after that, there was a TEC weekend, and then I went to Washington DC to participate in the pro-life rally and right to life march with my school. It was seriously one of the coolest experiences of my life. I wasn't a huge fan of DC itself but the march was really awesome. There were so many more people there than I had expected... something like 400,000 people standing up for the babies!! But... that trip meant missing more school and classes... and therefore putting me even farther behind. And now, I leave for Disney in less than a week and missing four more days of school. I'm starting to feel a little swamped with things to do honestly. Plus, I got put back on my anxiety medication (super fun, I know... my dad told me I was too 'bitchy' and said I had no option in the matter) so I feel really really sick. I haven't been able to eat and this stuff makes me ridiculously jittery so I just shake all the time.

In other news, I have my last cheerleading practice ever this afternoon! I'd like to say it's bittersweet, but it's not... it's just sweet. I honestly don't like cheer that much and I'm freaking ecstatic to be done. Senior night is on Tuesday and then we just have a few games left before it's all over! It's been a good experience, but I definitely won't be pursuing cheer in college.

Also... I miss my hair. A lot. Short hair is a pain in the ass.

grrrrr. i want my long, blonde hair back.

Washington DC!

clubbin.

Well... last night was an experience to say the least. A small local concert revenue was having an underage club sort of thing for high school kids with some djs and things. My friends and I thought it would be a fun, out of character thing for us to do as an early new years eve party. We really didn't know what to expect at all... and I'm not sure any of us were ready for what we saw. It was basically a bunch of drunk/high kids from various schools that were grinding sooo hard on each other. Not to mention the fact that the girls were all wearing the tightest, shortest skirts possible to man kind and acting like total sluts. I'm not gonna lie, I lost a lot of respect for people in my class. Needless to say, my friends and I left pretty early. Definitely not our scene.

In other news, we celebrated Laina's birthday and it was wonderful! She's officially 18!! Because of last nights event, we're spending tonight just watching movies and having a sleepover in Kath's basement.


(written saturday december 31... too lazy to post til now. awk for me.)

new do.

I got a hair cut! I've been in need of one for at least 3 months, but I haven't had a chance to do it. My split ends were getting so nasty, I would just sit in class and pick at them, which was entertaining for me, but probably gross and rude for everyone else. So, since it's break, I took the chance and made a big change. My hair was as long as it's ever been... like in my whole life. I've had really short hair since I was a little girl, like, creepy short. As I grew up, I started growing it out, but I always get bored with it looking the same, so I always cut it off in lieu of continuing to grow it. And, this time was no exception. I wanted a drastic change, so I cut off 7 inches! I also got side bangs and lots of layers. It's so much different and I love it! Since sophomore year, I've been getting blonde highlights like twice a year, but I was getting kind of tired of that too, so I got lowlights this time instead. They're black-brown and auburn and they made my hair look a lot darker, it's crazy! Adam is going to be really surprised by it when he gets back. Hopefully he likes it! But if not.... not a whole lot that can be done!

christmas.

Jesus is born! I had a wonderful Christmas with my family.... dinner last night with my cousins and aunt and uncle then midnight mass with my dad and the Kornfeld's since mom was cantoring. Between the two, we opened family gifts where I got a trip to Disney! I'm so sooo excited to start planning it. Then I got to sleep in this morning since mom had to cantor another mass and wasn't home til 10:20 anyway. When she got home we ate breakfast then Adam came to say goodbye before he leaves for Rome in the morning. I'm trying really hard to stay positive about that.... but that's a different story. We opened gifts in the early afternoon and I got mostly stuff that I picked out on Black Friday, plus a few things like Beats by Dr. Dre headphones (pink of course) and a picture collage frame. My dad made a wonderful dinner for us, pork loin, party potatoes and carrot casserole, and Meghan came over to eat with us! I've spent the rest of the day jamming to music and planning our Disney trip... so far we've set a tentative date but are struggling to find a hotel that is in a good location but isn't going to be a bazillion dollars. It doesn't help that we're planning to go in a peak season because there isn't really another time that will work with our busy schedules. Regardless, I'm stoked to go to Disney (and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!!) one final time before I go to college. Adam went in October and hearing all about his trip has made me more eager than ever to go. So it's been a wonderfully anti-climatic Christmas, to be followed by a not-so-wonderfully anti-climatic Christmas break. I feel like Adam being gone is going to hit me hard, and it's difficult for me to plan things to do because our schedule for cheer is totally up in the air. #firstworldproblems

tis the season.

I'm officially done with high school finals (unless something unusual happens...)! All of the end of the semester stuff has eaten up my time lately, so I haven't blogged, and now I'm not even sure what to say! Nothing too exciting has happened... Christmas is only a few days away though! We had our friend secret santa brunch today and I'm going to an ugly Christmas sweater party tonight, which should be fun! Other than that... seriously, I have a boring life.

iphone pictureeeeee.
