too good to be true

This week I've been swamped with a research essay for English, huge chapter readings for US History, intense studying for the SAT (I'm taking it in two days! eee!), and so so so much more. My biggest burden has been my English research essay about the atomic bomb over Hiroshima. At first, I didn't think Hiroshima and the whole essay shbeal would be too difficult, but as I set that aside and studed for the SAT first (& blogged second, :P), my essay is now lacking substantial facts and research and analytical commentary and gosh! I hate being so messy and asdfjkl;g as I am now. English has always been my best class, but I've been falling under pressure and I just wanted to cry last night because I didn't want to do my rough draft (I managed to do it after forcing myself to stop procrastinating at 11 pm, and I slept at 1:30 am, the latest time I've ever slept in order to finish homework).

But! God always surprises me with whimsical and amazing blessings. This week has been so much fun since Tolo is this weekend (Tolo is a dance where the girl asks the guy to go with her instead of vice versa, I think some schools call it Sadie Hopkins). I'm not going because I had a not-so-favorable experience at past dances with boys (that's another story for another day), but I love the school spirit days that Tolo entails! The theme is "fame" and some of the spirit days were "famous rock star," "famous reality TV star" (I wore a black sweater and tried to be Simon Cowell) :), "Red Carpet," and others. My favorite was "famous athlete day" because I got to dress up as Olympic gold medalist and figure skater Kim Yu Na. I'll post pictures of that this weekend! :)

I'm also extremely thankful to have won My Owl Barn's last giveaway - an Anthropologie necklace!! I knew that blog was amazing ever since I discovered it! :)

And on top of that, I also received my first blog award from Silverbeige!


I'm really honored to have received this especially since I'm a bit of a newbie. Although this week made me want to cry because it's been so tiring, now I want to cry because it's been so rewarding. :)
