what do you think, mr. plumbob?

I am watching the elections to see what happens. For the first time in my life, I have actually taken interest in the political world. Not that much interest, but a small vague understanding for once about what is going on around me. So far, I beleive Bush is winning. I hope with all of my heart that he does not win. I swear, he will make the country look so bad because he has not a clue as to what he is doing. I was watching Ted Kennedy on television while he was making some sort of speech, and there's this really cute guy standing behind him. He looks like he's maybe seventeen, eighteen, who knows...well, he was really cute. That kept me watching the tv for a few minutes longer. Then I decided that I had more important things to do.

I am thinking about tomorrow, and how it is going to go for me. I hope well. I took a nice relaxing bath, so I don't have to get up early tomorrow to shower and get ready for school. My rose is still alive. It has been alive now for more than a week. It is still very nice, but it is slowly dying. Perhaps I will get one more off of the plant before the weather turns bad. I got back my dream journal today from my psychology teacher, and he wrote me a nice little note inside:
Amanda,
This was a real joy to read. I wish all students kept as detailed a journal as you did. You mix imagery, humour, and details very well. Keep writing like you do; it is a talents that you should continue to develop. I am very fortunate to have you as a student.

Awww! He gave me an A on my work, and drew a smiley face as well. A lot of bad junk happened to me today, so when I look back on this it just makes me really happy. It is nice to know that somebody appreciates my creative writing, even when my own stupid English teacher doesn't. Well, I didn't have any problems with her today at all, but she just doesn't like what I write in general. But, we are on the subject of nice things! I can't beleive that tomorrow is already Wednesday. It is truly a dream come true. I can't wait until this week is over again. Ah, there I go, wishing my life away again.

Another strange thing that I have noticed is that everyone is asking me if I have dyed my hair or something. When I tell them no, they all say that it looks a lot lighter and more red. Hmph. That is really weird. I haven't done anything with my hair, and people are telling me that it's changing. Also, I have noticed that I have grown 1/2 of an inch since my doctor's appointment in the summer. It is a very strange thing, but I noticed last week that I felt a little bit taller. So, I took out the measuring tape and did a little measuring. Sure enough, the extra half an inch was there. Strange. I can't take this anymore. I want to be stable. Dah! I don't mean that in a mental way or anything. *hehe*

Mmm. I should be studying for that Psych test tomorrow. And reading ahead in my book. And doing those Physics problems. No worries, though, no worries...

Ciao.

P.S:- 9:30 p.m.
Oh my gosh, I just had to make a small amendment, because I was just laughing my head off. I left my room to get a drink of water, and I see this thing glowing in the dining room. When I get a closer look, I see the pumpkin from Halloween, lit up inside with a plastic patriotic-type hat on that my sister brought home from school. My mom told me that it is her vigial to the Democratic Party. Dah!! That made me laugh a lot. I wish I had film to take a picture of it...:_:
