everything is beautiful

But love it washes over
Love it pulls me closer
Love it changes everthing

Everything is beautiful
Even when the tears are falling
I don't need a miracle to believe
Even in the crashing down
I can hear redemption calling
And everything is beautiful to me

i love starfield, they're music and lyrics are amazing. hmm i think "everything is beautiful" is one of those songs i can listen to 3849023493 times and still not get sick of. i don't know it just really reminds me that God's there even when things are going terribly wrong and his love makes everything beautiful

ok i'm going to talk about my day. it was nice weather :) so last night at 9, my mom calls me down and tells me that my teacher called and left a message. and i just assume that she's talking about my drivers ed instructor b/c that's the only teacher who would call me. so i listen to the message and it's my bio teacher saying she needs to "talk to me about an urgent matter regarding my quarterly exam" and she leaves her number for me to call back. so i'm a bit apprehensive b/c the only reason i can think of her calling me is if she thinks i cheated on the exam or something horrible like that, but it turns out that my in-class essay was missing. when she told me this i thought about it and i realized that i must have thought it was my rough draft of my at-home essay was my in-class essay so when i swamped my final and typed at-home essay i took the wrong one and recycled it. so i told my bio teacher this and she basically says that the essay is like 25 points on my quarterly exam and she'll grade it if i can find it from where i recycled it and give it to her in the morning andd if not it'll be " a learning experience." k so this morning in advisory, i pretty much combed thru the recycling bins of my history, english, calc, and stats classes. andd thank God i found it in my stat class recycling bin! moral of this story: read carefully and recycle! well read carefully so you don't make stupid mistakes like i did and recycle your essays and recycle b/c it saves the environment and if you're ever in the dilemma i was in, searching thru recycling bins is 48394 times less gross than searching thru trashcans

we had a practice evacuation and what i learned from it is that it takes an hour and half to get 4,000 kids to walk up the street at sit in an arena. but i got to miss a class and a half which as nice :) my school is like OVERLY heated like my eyes start watering it's so hot sometimes. the rest of my day was bueno and i didn't go to college writing today b/c we weren't really going to have class today. the author of the book we're reading "the bones of the earth" gave a talk at umasslowell and so a bunch of college writing classes were going to it. patrick said it was boring and that the highlight was free cookies so i'm kinda glad i missed out. i got tutoring at my school library for calc, lol this is like my fifth time getting tutored, i've become a regular. it's kinda sad b/c only the ghetto kids go and get tutored, but oh well.

i got home around 3 and cleaned for a couple hours for my aunt. it was my first time really meeting her and she's nice. her husband's friendly too, he ran a marathon in ny over the weekend (i think) and my aunt said it was his third marathon this year and he ran it in like 5 hrs. i can't imagine running a marathon...26 miles! gosh i think running a mile is painful and i'm 16 so when i'm 60 i swear i'll already be in a wheelchair or something. hmm so my aunt talked to me about how she was a teacher in LA. i've always thought teachers got paid badly, but she said that teachers get paid decently there. she also asked me if i talk to her kids and i told her not really b/c they're like matt and eunice's ages. my uncle and her have been divorced for awhile and she told me how she rarely sees her daughter and that her youngest son hasn't seen or spoken to her in 4 years. i think that's so sad... i can't imagine being so bitter/having so much anger and hate towards my mom that i wouldn't even see her. and i can't imagine what it's like knowing someone feels that way towards you. i've realized that one of my biggest fears is getting divorced.

well this post is quite long and i should be really doing my homework or my devoes. i think we're going to eat at viet-thai for dinner so i'm pretty excited for that! bye now.
