Capital Adventures.

So things have gone from bad to good I guess. Last week I found myself in tears everyday and had had enough of just about everything. I took the ACT and got an 18 on it, and the score made me feel horrible about myself. Everyone around me was getting 20-30. Basically... I was the retarded one in the room. Then with tears in my eyes I hit black ice on the way home, and spun out my car. I almost hit two parked cars, and that's when I broke into a full out-hyperventilating- cry. Got home, and wanted to find the nearest gun and point it at my head.

It was around then that something happened between Jessica and I. I don't understand why she is being the way she is to me. What did I do to deserve you acting like a bitch to me? Maybe we just need to stop talking and hanging out so much. Not that we've actually really hung out together except going to the gym together-- which she started going to by herself. Whatever. She's going to Miami for Spring Break with Carranda. I always get that pang of jealously when she talks about Carranda. She sounds so much more fun than me. Figures. I'm 5 years younger than both of them, and it's right about now when I feel that being smashed into my face. I think I may call off our Chicago trip, if we're even still going. I'm over it.

So Ellie, Heidi and I are making a poster for the Michigan Mathematics Poster Competition. Our topic is: What action do you think the new 2008 President will take with the troops in Iraq? We made a survey and really wanted to pass it out to people at the Capital. Well, Ellie's mom used to work there, so she took us today. Heidi won't skip class, and that was annoying because all she had to do was call her mom. So Ellie and I went. We talked to our Senator, Gretchen Whitmer. She was really nice, and she took our survey. We even got a picture with her. Then we went over to where the State Reps. were. We saw our Rep, Barb Byrum, and she took our survey as well. We got a few others, and a lot from all the Legislature Aides. After an hour of walking around we made our way over to the Capital building. We got to watch the Reps. in session, and Barb Byrum even introduced us to everyone and we had to stand up. It was awkward. Really cool though.

It was an overall good day. I'm really hoping tomorrow will be a snow day. That would be sweet.

Jaa Mata.
