The amazingness that was the URJ and NFTY Kutz Campus for Reform Jewish Teen Life is now over. I am currently staying at my Aunt and Uncle’s place in New Jersey, but I miss camp immensely. Talking to everyone on Facebook just isn’t that same as sharing a room with them, or complaining about gross camp food together. There are some things I really don’t miss about camp though, such as the bugs, food and boy drama. I have decided that unless a boy comes to me, it is just not worth my trouble, as they all suck anyway. At least, all camp boys do. I don’t mind them as people, but as possible romantic interests, they suck. I wish all camp boys weren’t such whores, but they are. So I am glad to be somewhere where it doesn’t matter, and have enjoyed spending time with my cousin Jason. We ate tons of food yesterday and today, and I just go back from seeing Transformers, which I really enjoyed. I love Shia LeBouf. It was a good blend of action film and actual plot, though I thought it was a little long. I realize I am rambling, but I just feel in the mood to spill out all my thoughts, since there is no one here to have a heart to heart with. I am missing my camp friends more than I can express, and find myself talking about them constantly, even when people don’t want to hear about them. Oh well, their loss. I have to go now, I am getting sushi with the relituvs. I’ll write again later.
Kutz Update!!! I’m having a good time at camp, though it is not what I expected. I do have cell phone reception, so feel free to call or text me. It is not always reliable, but I will call you back when I get the chance. I’ve made lots of friends, mostly from the North Carolina/DC area, but there are a few from all over the country. Unfortunately, I can’t check my Facebook due to WebNanny, but feel free to comment here instead. I will be home on the 20th, and will be getting my drivers license on the 24th! :) Love you all.

I finally put up a new layout. I started and finished this layout in less than three hours, which I think is a personal best for me, especially since this one is all CSS. I really like it, I think it looks really clean. Not much happened today, I went to temple and had a SMRTY board meeting. We didn’t get much done, but it felt like we did. Afterwards I stayed to try to make a mail merge of everyone on the mailing list but I couldn’t remember exactly how to do it. I guess Ms. Lee actually taught me something useful. Weird. It’s a four day weekend, since Monday and Tuesday are “comment writing days” but I still don’t get to relax that much, since my Spanish presentation and history essay are both due on Wednesday. I don’t really have that much to say, but thought I would update. Toodles!

It is a Sunday night, which means tomorrow is Monday, the worst day of the week. Luckily tomorrow I don’t have any terribly hard classes, but I am in big trouble with my English teacher because I forgot to pick up my essay from him on Friday and I should have been editing it all weekend. But I don’t care, I would have put it off until the last minute anyway. And I have math tomorrow, which is terribly boring, fall asleep boring. At least I have acting, and we are rehearsing our scene in the theater. We are going to perform it in front of the whole school on Friday, so it needs to be perfect. Unfortunately, I don’t think it will be, since none of us are off script yet, and we have tons of rehearsing to do. But at least it is a class that doesn’t give much homework and is fun, since I hate most of my classes this semester. I just got all of the bad teachers for everything it seems. The boring chemistry teacher, a bad English teacher, a boring and bad math teacher, a crazy Spanish teacher and all of them (except my chem teacher) love to give tons of homework. Sophmore year really is a lot harder than freshman year. I’ve been keeping up with it all, but I’m not getting As in most of classes this quarter, which ends of Friday. I think Chemistry is my only academic class I’m getting an A in, everything else is in the B to B+ range.
I don’t know, life just seems hard right now, and I miss a lot of my old friends that I hardly ever get to see anymore. I just wish everything was less complicated, like back in middle school. All you had to worry about then was who liked who, and even that didn’t really matter at an all girls school. I made some really good friends at GMS, and it feels like I haven’t made any friends like that in high school, which makes me sad. I guess I’m just in a sad mood right now, I don’t really know why since I just got home from hanging out with Keli, so I should be happy. And I have lots of cute new furniture in my room, which is finally finished, but I just feel mopey.
On to other things, I’ve been looking for images for a new blog layout, and have found some really cool ones. I will probably get around to working on that soon, but life is really hectic, so it might be awhile. I do have next Monday and Tuesday off, so it might happen then, but I make no promises. I think the site will get massively downsized when the new layout goes up, to being just a blog again, since I never update any of the other content. Grace’s stuff is going to get taken down, since she doesn’t update here anymore. That was an experiment that unfortunately didn’t work, but at least I tried. I’m still not going to make any promises about how often I’m going to update, since it seems I only do it when I need to rant about something, but I think two updates in one month is really good, at least for now.

It’s Labor Day weekend, and I haven’t really done much fun stuff. I went out to dinner last night with my dad’s roommate from college and his son, who is looking at Stanford, which was okay, but I really didn’t like the food. And today all I have done is work on the SMRTY website, which is almost done. I finished the layout, now I just have to decide what I want to say on it, which is the biggest deal. And to make matters worse, I can’t seem to log onto my FTP client, to bring the site online, so other people can look at it. And I still don’t know if it works in Internet Explorer, because I work on a Mac, which doesn’t have IE. It hasn’t been a bad weekend or anything, just not a fun one.
School started two weeks ago, and I am already swamped with work. History and Spanish have so much homework, it’s unbelievable. I was also trying out for the play last week, which took up a lot of my time. I made call backs and everything, but I didn’t make it into the show for some reason. I’m really disappointed, but there is nothing I can do about it. I’m still going to have work on the show, because I’m in stagecraft, so it will be really weird sitting in on rehearsals, and thinking, this could have been me. But at the same time, I’m trying not to take it personally, since all I can do is keep a positive attitude and try out for the next show.
I don’t really know why I am updating, I have sort of come to terms with the fact that my blog is dying. I never update, and no one reads it, but I guess, I just felt like getting my feelings out, and it’s not like I have a paper journal. That’s all really. I might write more entires, probably not. So long.
