Howdy everyone!
So this is my official post-birthday blog, as well as the one where I re-live the experiences that I had spoken about in my last post. And, well, you know, whatever else I feel like ranting about today.
For starters, the past week has been one of the most awesome and most torturous week of my high school career. Funny, it seems like this combination occurs quite frequently in my life.
It was one of the most torturous because it was just one of those weeks when all my teachers secretly meet up and conspiratorially decide that they are going to dish hell on a little platter and force-feed it to me like Jim Carry in the Grinch while my hands and feet are tied over a piranha death-pit. You know what I'm talking about. And then they assign EVERY FRICKIN CRAZY LAST-MINUTE ASSIGNMENT they can think of and well, virtually say, "HA, SUCKS FOR YOU BOI!" all while cackling evilly and, I don't know, kicking puppies.
On the other hand, it was the best week because on Tuesday afternoon, I got to get out of school 40 minutes early with 2 of my good friends to drive to Bethesda, Maryland. There, we went to the Bethesda Public Library and got to meet our favorite author of all time, Rachel Hawkins, as explained before in my last post. And let me say, she is frickin awesome. Hilariously funny and all-round cool and I totally did not want to kiss my book after she signed it or anything. Psh.
So all that awesomeness plus my birthday on Saturday rounded out all the suckish parts in between. But trust me, they still sucked.
Another piece of news that I am very excited to share: I got accepted into the Teen Ink NYC Program for this summer!!! I am super psyched and so glad I made the cuts. More on that later!
My birthday, in case you were wondering, was a perfect balance between going out on the town with my gal-pals and, you know, shouting obnoxiously "SHOPPING SPREE!!" and "I TOTES LOVE YOU!", or whatever cool teenage girls do nowadays, and sliding down playground slides and giggling while pretending to eat mulch at a children's park. You know, the usual.
I also got a very special gift card to a very special clothing store that I am just ITCHING to USE LIKE A LOT.
Oh, and B T Dubs, on Thursday, I am going to the midnight showing of The Hunger Games. Shyeah. Be Jealous. And intimidated. You won't wanna mess with me come Friday.
Love,
Danielle
Thank you to everyone who called or texted or sent me something for my birthday! Much appreciated!
