Why I've Been Gone

Hey y'all! Sorry it's been about 6 months since I last posted, but a lot has happened in those 6 months. First, I got a Staph infection, which had me hospitalized for a week. 3 months after that, I had heart surgery, so I had to stay in the hospital for 2 1/2 weeks. Finally, I just got back from my most recent hospital stay, which was only about 3 days. Because of all these absences, I've had a butt ton of schoolwork and it's been really overwhelming and just a lot to manage. But at my most recent stay, I got to see some good friends, and convinced my mom to get me these really pretty cherry earrings I'm also going to see another good friend tomorrow, so yay for that! I have to go to school tomorrow, too, which is bleh. Oh well. My dad's making me so I can get all the work I missed. There's also a funeral that day, so I guess it's good that I'm going. It'll also be good to see my school friends, and I like my teachers, too, and they seem to like me. I'm currently working on a research paper, and the topic is really interesting (the ethics of xenotransplantation), but ugh it takes so much time and work. Plus it's just been absolutely impossible for me to focus these days. I have ADHD, but I take medicine for it, so something's wrong. Maybe I need to up my dosage? Who knows. So many things are wrong with me these days... Well, it's late, and as I said I have school tomorrow. So I'm going to sign off for now. See you later, friends!

Life Is Lifeing

Hey y'all! Sorry I haven't spoken in a while. I wasn't exactly sure what to write. I still don't exactly know.????I'm doing the whole writing whatever comes to my mind thing. Oh, and another reason I haven't spoken in a while is because I've been feeling kind of burnt out. I'm in 9th grade right now, and I do cross country. It's a lot of work. When I get home, I'm always so tired. But I've at least had a lot of success with cross country. My best time so far is 21:50 for a 5k. I'm the third best runner on the team. As a freshman! I'm pretty proud of myself for that. Oh, and another thing that's happened is homecoming. Well, the dance hasn't happened yet, but I did get asked! It was by this really sweet guy named Carter. He got me flowers!! Like, how amazing is that?? He's really a great guy. I'm so happy I'm going with him. Every time I see him I smile... sigh. I can't wait for the actual dance. I bet it's going to be magical. I also can't wait to wear my dress. It's so pretty! It's maroon and silky, and its sleeves go to my elbow and are gauzy. The dress goes to just above my knees, and it has a box neckline like those dresses that are kinda popular nowadays. I feel like a doll in it, but like in a good way. I'm so excited for homecoming!! I'm going to sign off for tonight, though. Hope to see you soon, friends!
