The End of a Long Weekend

This has been a hectic weekend, and it's not even over yet!  I filmed a video about my day yesterday that will be up in a few days, so I won't talk about that again.  Today has been a lot less eventful, but I've spent a good portion of my day getting homework that I neglected doing in the car yesterday. (It gets dark way too early at this time of the year.)

Other than that I have to go to high school religious ed later to help my dad with that as a table leader.  I'm excited because my dad's going to show a clip from Return of the King that deals with the lesson.  My sister and her friend weren't happy about that at all, but that just makes it even more amusing to me.  I have to get my homework done though, since I don't want to do it when I come home.  I'm almost done, so it shouldn't take too much longer.

Church Two Times in One Day

You have no idea how nice it is to have a weekend where I didn't have any homework to bring home.  I did have to write a response for English, but I got it done at school on Friday.  It's so relaxing having time where I'm not worried about getting school work done.

I haven't done anything today except go to church, and I'm actually going back to church in a few hours.  Our church is starting this video series thing.  Each week they're showing videos that are on the Catechism of the Catholic Church.  I'm not sure what this week's is on, but I guess I'll find out.  Our priest has said that they're really good, so hopefully he's right.

Other than that I think my day is going to be pretty lazy.  As soon as I get done writing this I'm going to edit a video I filmed yesterday, so that should be up soon.

Church Dinner, Dan Radcliffe on SNL, Etc.

It has been a long day.  I had trouble sleeping last night, and then I woke up today feeling a little sick.  I don't know if I really am sick or it's just allergies.  Whatever it is, my head feels congested, I can barely breath through my nose, and my throat feels kind of scratchy.  It's not too bad though, and I hope it doesn't get worse.

I'm really happy tomorrow's a holiday, and there's no school.  After getting no sleep last night, I really need another night to sleep in before going to school.

We had a dinner after church this morning/afternoon.  It was kind of a welcome to our priest (who came a few months back) and new parishioners.  I was probably there for about an hour, but I came home a bit earlier than most of the others because Ji was coming over to drop off some Friends DVDs and The Hunger Games that she had borrowed.  (She didn't actually ever read The Hunger Games, which dissappoints me a bit.)  We watched Daniel Radcliffe on Saturday Night Live (He was amazing, and I love the Harry Potter sketch!) and some Youtube videos before she left.

Other than that I didn't do much today.  I, of course, did some homework, but that's about it.  I actually got less homework done than I had been planning on because I didn't know that Ji was going to come over, and I didn't know about the dinner at church until this morning.  (Well, I knew it was happening, but not that it was today.)  Since I didn't get much done today, I'm also going to have to do more tomorrow than I planned on.  It's not much though, so hopefuly it won't take long.  I want to be able to enjoy the day off from school.

Birthday Celebrations

My whole morning is pretty much a blur because I was half asleep the whole time.  I really should start going to bed earlier with school starting in less than a week, but I know it's not going to happen.  One thing I can tell you about this morning is that the end of church was just a little depressing.  I'm not going to lie.  I can barely remember any of mass today because I completely zoned out every couple of minutes, but I do remember the end of mass. Our priest announced this weekend that he's getting transfered to a different parish.  There were some tears, and I'm surprised I didn't bawl my eyes out.  (I'm usually way more emotional when I'm tired.)  Anyway, we don't have a new priest yet, and we may not even get one.  It's possible we'll just have a guest priest every single weekend instead.  I'm not sure how I feel about that, but that's enough about church.

My family and I went out to dinner tonight to celebrate my birthday.  We ate at the local Mexican restaurant because I absolutely love Mexican.  Once we got home, we had cake which just so happened to be in my favorite colors: purple and orange.  I also opened my presents, and I'm really happy with what I got.  My parents gave me Sims 3 which I've wanted forever!  It's currently downloading on my computer as I type this.  I've actually never played it.  I've only played an older version that my best friend has.  I also got the Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince ultimate edition DVDs to add to my ever growing Harry Potter DVD collections.  Lastly, my parents gave me a wireless printer.  I've been wanting one forever since it's a pain to have to use our slow ancient computer every time I need to print.  They finally bought one because they say I'll need it at college next year.

I guess I'm officially done celebrating my birthday since the cake and presents are finished.  I have to say, my birthday was pretty awesome this year.  Here's to hoping my first year as an "adult" is just as great.
