Since my last post, my life has been crazy full of excitement, stress, and business. But that's just life and it's what makes it so interesting! That means this post is gonna be full of good news since I don't like blogging about bad things. It also means that it'll be LONG so I'm gonna shorten everything. :)
Joesph and the Amazing and Technicolor Dreamcoat was amazing. I got to become friends with people whom I have misjudged and made new fabulous friends. The feedback for the show has been the best I've ever heard for a production I've been in so that's always good :). During closing night though, I was an emotional wreck. That's typically how it is though. I'll miss all my seniors! On the bright side, I still have half a year with them!
National Honor Society has also had a lot of projects going on and that means a busy Lina. Trying to organize everything has been bleh, but I love it. The Ethnic Festival was a great success and I even explored St. Martin's campus with Matt, Corey, and Madi!
Not only did closing night and the Ethnic Festival happen on the same day... Lea visited from the Marines before moving to Japan for two years!
Last event, but not the least... I am Black Hill's High School OFFICIAL Lakefair Princess on the Royal Court! :). It's been fabulous meeting the other six wonderful ladies (although I've already known Katt). The support has been fabulous and I enjoy getting the free stuff... Who wouldn't? :) The whole getting a scholarship doesn't hurt either. Being a princess has actually meant a lot to me. I wouldn't have ever expected this. I'm not one to sound sexist or anything, but being a princess has been... EEK. So wonderful, can't even explain. It was even a part of my speech that I was a self-conscious child and everything. I can't believe I'm getting the royal treatment and everything! Special thanks to Mrs. Mulcahy for nominating me for princess! Also, thanks to Ha-Yoon for making me feel pretty and saying the right things to me at the wrong times.
The day after Lakefair was also quite interesting... Before and after the coronation, Ha-Yoon and I freaked Naomi, Corey, and Madi out with our rapping skills. We went to Menchie's where I got a grand entrance thanks to Corey and Naomi... Then we went to Wendy's (my first time) and we got kicked out because of some dumb time policy. Then we played Sardines at my neighborhood in the middle of the night until we were told to stop by some mature, responsible adults... I'm laughing so hard right now.
I mentioned that the Lakefair Royalty gets pimped out in clothes (Gap floral jeans, sparkly Guess belt, sparkly Vans, and MORE!), but I didn't mention how we had lunch at Red Robins today after doing some shopping! It was great bonding time with the girls and the folks with Lakefair :).
Oh yeah, I got to spent Valentine's Day with my love. A.K.A. my neighbor, Naomi! We had quite the trip to Fred Meyers... Did I say trip? I meant trips. I was a mess on Valentine's Day from lack of sleep and she was there to smack some sense into me. We had a romantic and classy dinner of Pizza Hut and visiting Kyle to give him a cupcake and balloon for his birthday. We're homies. Word out.
Just kidding. I'm not done yet. These are the highlights of my life the month or so and an incredible amount of things have happened. I've been done a lot more than I've been happy since my last post, but focusing on the positive stuff has truly made me feel happy. I have wonderful friends and family and I've been motivated to serve and help the community. I also haven't been doing too bad in school and got a 4.0 for the first semester! Yay! Hard work pays off! I'm trying to relax during this four day weekend and get things done, but the first part ain't happening. Adjudications and SATs are too soon! Lakefair has been keeping me busy and now it's time to adjust to all the craziness. This includes applying for as many scholarships as I can. I have to work hard towards the dream! In a more recreational sense, I caught up in How I Met Your Mother a while ago and have been re-watching Desperate Housewives. I'm also newly engaged to Skylar Astin.
So in summary, I've been disappointed and hurt but I'm happy because I have a thing called the future ahead! Now it's time to make the world a better place and be the awesome person that I am!
