I Marched For Life

Yesterday, my alarm went of at 4:45 AM. This is probably the earliest I've ever gotten up in my life. It was still dark when I left my house along with my mother, and three of my siblings. We all drove to Chester to meet the rest of our group. We filled all 47 seats on our bus, and I heard later that we were the largest group of young people from a single place. No other schools or churches had more than us. 

It was incredible to see how many people were there. At first, being stuck in the crowd, I couldn't grasp the numbers, as I was unable to see over all the heads, but at one point in the March, I reached the top of a hill and looked behind me. Nothing can describe. Countless people waving banners and chanting "Hey hey ho ho! Roe vs. Wade has got to go!" Catchy as it sounds, they were all serious about it.

I hope that we all made an impact on the future decisions to be made concerning abortion. I am proud that I was able to participate in something like this and to support what I know is right. On the bus ride home, Mr. Schafly asked if anyone had anything to say about the day in front of anyone. A few people spoke about their feelings, and one of the parents mentioned how amazed she was to see so many young people stand up for our beliefs. I agree with her.

Support LIFE.

Three Men In A Boat

To say nothing of the dog! That's what I'm reading now. I just started, and since I'm too lazy to read it, and I HAVE to multitask no matter what I do, I found a free audiobook on the internet. I'm listening to the first chapter as I'm writing this. So far, it's about a bunch of old dudes who are affected by mass hysteria. Apparently they're all dying of disease. And the author's first and last names are the same. That's interesting....

I got a B+ in history! I'm so happy. I probably would've aced it if I'd studied...maybe next time.

I really have nothing much else to say, except that I'm being made to wear glasses every day now. Bifocals. And now, when I take them off, I REALLY can't see anything. Peachy, eh?

I'm getting up at 4AM tomorrow morning for the March for Life in DC. This is the first one I've ever been too, so I'll post at the end of this week all my thoughts on it. 

Happy day!

So Much For

A post by the end of break! Ha! I knew even as I was writing it that I wouldn't do that. At least now we're all very well acquainted with Christina's lack of motivation.

I reread my last post to see that I'd recommended Frankenstein. Really, I shouldn't have done that without FINISHING the book first. Now that I have finished reading it, cover to cover (not really, I skipped introductions, appendicies, etc.) I have a new view on it. If you're looking for something well-written, by all means read it. If you're looking for a long, detailed book, by all means read it. If you're looking for a depressing story about twisted motives and feelings? BY ALL MEANS! Read it. But if you're like me and you enjoy a happy ending, DO NOT read this book. And I'll stop now before I get off on too much of a tangent.

I had a wonderful time in NYC for my birthday. Phantom of the Opera--beyond words of description. I could see it again, and again, and again, and never get sick of it. I must admit though, the chandelier falling was anti-climactic. Since I'd only seen the movie, I was expecting it to happen closer to the end...but the play is real I suppose, so I have to accept all of it.

Stardust still remains my favorite place to eat at. I'll never get sick of singing waiters and those rockin' nachos. And who wouldn't want to have a whole restaurant sing them Happy Birthday and have their waiter write them a birthday song? Even if that 'song' was only ten words long...

I'm in the market for a new iPod. Four gigs just isn't enough anymore. I'd like one of the new nanos. The 16G seems to be a good option. I'd like something more like over a hundred but I can't stand the Classics. Too big. Can you see one of those in my pocket? No...neither can I. Oh and I'd like a yellow one! So if anyone is out looking for birthday presents, you know what to get ;). Or cash would be nice too....

Schlafly's final exam will be this Thursday? Am I the only one who hasn't studied yet? I mean...I sort of did. I looked at some model answers, and I can't see myself doing much more than that. I hope I'll do well. It's multiple choice so I'm not TOO worried...should I be?

Praying for SPRING,
