Life Comes At You In Three's...

Death. Bestfriends and my new favorite one: boys. What's life now a days without a full on love triangle? As if high school weren't complicated enough what with advanced classes, backstabbing best friends, and teachers who stand on either end of the school work spectrum-never in between- life decides to throw a species far more complicated then they tend to appear: boys or homo sapien with a little twist as I like to call them. I think I've been through all the scenarios possible-cheating, being the "other woman", liking someone when I was dating someone. They're all familiar to most teenage girls by the time the leave high school. But coming here, I was surprised to observe new situations plaguing my friends. Love triangles and ones where its the girl stuck between two boys-not the other way around. While I'm all for flipping the script and having girls take on the more masculine roles in our social society, I must admit that girls (and in particular my friend) do not handle it as nonchalantly as the boys appear too. Perhaps this is why the title of "pimp" and "top dog" are left the the men because they contain with in them the genetic capability to not care what either of the two females they are playing think; whereas in the case of my friend she cares WAY to much about hurting her two options. My advice? Just have fun. Summer 2010 is fast approaching and does she really want to end the year in a relationship? Especially with her traveling for summer, a relationship is the last thing she needs. But hey that's just my opinion.

And Speaking of Summer, it is SO close. I can almost taste the waves, the tanning lotion, the staying up for hours doing nothing and waking up the next day so late you feel like you've missed out on everything. Oh wait-I already do do that. Living in California sometimes tricks the mind into thinking it is summer especially with recent teacher strikes, star testing and an upcoming five day memorial weekend (woot woot). How do teachers really expect us to settle down into desks for six hours and forty five minutes? How can they expect the same quality of work we produced in the early months of school when the ocean breeze trickles into the classrooms, coaxing us to abandon all ideals of "homework" and "studying" and instead grab the nearest bikini, surfboard, towel and tanning lotion and lay out all day. Its a sick cycle we the students of Capo Unified District are forced to endure. Hopefully we will prevail and dominate looming finals. After all only 26 days until schools out!

Finally, what is coming up in two weeks, has been the highlight of my moving here and is costing me all my paychecks & allowance? P R O M! You never really experience prom unless you're experiencing it in America. Here in the land of amazing party buses with stripper poles, hummer limousines and designers who remind you of cross dressers: is where legendary proms take place. However behind these legends is an ordeal of stress I was not prepared to deal with. Booking the party bus, setting a guest list the suited everyone and booking dinner alone was enough to make me want to rip my hair out. But with that behind me the only thing left to do is pick up my dress, find those oh so perfect pair of shoes and have fun. I'm superduperfreakingexcited! Can't you tell?
