Mommy Lons to stay! (For a month).

    I have a relative - my aunt Alona to be more precise - that will be staying with us for a month: when it ends basically. It was Monday that we picked her up from her current stay in one of my other relative's home, and currently she is at a party at her friend's house.
    I like her, she and I get along together. I sometimes wonder if she scrutinizes my actions and plans to tell my mom what to fix and such, like all my other relatives do when they are in my house. *shakes head* I really don't enjoy having to be on my best behavior around relatives. Especially when they are around 24/7 for a whole month.
    Anyway, she is the mom of one of my cousins, Alix. She has a blog too, which I occasionally check to see what she's up to. I haven't talked to Alix in awhile, so I'll have to show her my blog too. I might be able to post up pictures, but I really don't know if my mom will let me. She usually says that "It's unsafe to put pictures of yourself on the internet" and "If you put up those pictures of you and your friends, you're going to get raped and killed by some creep online". This kinda makes me feel untrusted, ya know? I don't enjoy being limited where all my friends have complete freedom over. Well, at least some freedom for some of my friends.
    Otherwise, I think I'll be good on this blog. Although I know that my mom will expect to check on it occasionally for any weird activity. Heh, I make my blog sound like a paranormal place. XP

Update: High School view in 8th grade VS. High School right now

    I feel that high school for me right now is what I hadn't expected it to be in 8th grade. I thought that was when the real Michelle/Sunshine would shine, but I'm still in my little shell like a scared turtle. (How philosophical did that sound???) Anyway, I thought high school would bring me out of that shell, and help me show who I am. But I guess I need to get used to high school first.
    :( Oh well, maybe I could do something about that. I'm still feeling inferior to all that "popular kids" crap, even though I feel strongly that that social hierarchy should be eliminated. But what can you do? :\
    Anyway, I'm swamped with work and homework and tests. I have no time with my friends, or to hang out anymore. I think I'm going to have a mental breakdown if I keep this up. In this reflection, I guess that's what I'm saying. I want to go through high school without a nervous breakdown. :) Glad you grasped the gist of it.
    On other things, I'm starting my new internship with my new boss, Linda, who is the coordinator of a gallery in my local museum. I'm helping her design the new background, study for the new galleries, and also help her decide what will be the next showing! I also help create graphics, texts, and blowups for backgrounds on galleries, etc. I can't wait till I get goin' on this job!

H1N1 Uproar <(o-0)>

    I'm really afraid of catching the H1N1 Virus, or commonly known as the Swine Flu, and so is everyone else at my school. All of my friends are bringing hand sanitizers with them, covering their mouths when they cough, and keep their distance to those who cough and sneeze. I have to say, I don't blame them.
    There are various symptoms of H1N1 that range from totally unaffecting to common severe flu symptoms. Doctors treat H1N1 like the normal flu. Drink lots of fluids, rest in bed, cough or sneeze to your elbow bend, et cetera. Simple things, right? Well, it's the same thing for preventing it! Simply prevent catching  the Swine Flu by washing your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds to wash germs away, and keep a safe distance from those who seem to have caught the flu.
    If you haven't already, sign up to get the H1N1 vaccine now sold in your local pharmacy/at your doctor. There are two options open for the vaccine: nasal and shot. If I'm correct, they have only created the nasal vaccine for Swine Flu. You may be a little too late, and you'll end up on the waiting list. Thousands are on the list already. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't wait for the vaccine. It could/will increase your chances in preventing and/or surviving the Swine Flu if ever caught.
    It's the first flu pandemic in the 21st century after the Spanish Flu Epidemic during the 20th century. Millions have died because of the Spanish Flu. (Why do they call it "Spanish Flu"??? Does it have any relation to anything the name says at all???) Don't become a statistic!
Horrifying Facts of H1N1: (Thank you to http://h1n1lab.org/index.asp?aff=11230&camp=gg_h1n1&se=google)
    *Scientists predict that 900,000 people will be affected by H1N1 daily!
    * 60% of Swine Flu victims are teenagers. (OMG! I better be safe then!)
    *Children are four times more likely to contract H1N1 at their school.
    *If 70% of people are vaccinated, the infection rate will drop 80% in 2 weeks.
    *In less than 2 months, half of the world’s population could be infected!
    *An infected child has a 64% chance of transmitting the virus after only one encounter.
    *If 90% of H1N1 victims were given Tamiflu, the infection rate would only drop by 3.0%
    (Still searching on what Tamiflu is...)
    *If someone in your family has H1N1 the chance of your entire family getting infected is 75%!
    *If your family is infected and you take antiviral medications and stay at home (self-quarantine) for 10 days then the general populations risk of contracting H1N1 drops to 17%
    *The H1N1 virus can survive for up to 17 days on any outside surface, hot or cold.

*0* OH MY GOSHNESS! This is scary stuff people! Take it seriously! (I add no sarcasm in this statement.)

Michael Jackson's This Is It!

    I'm going with some of my friends from work and our group sponsor (She's AWESOME! WE LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!!) to see the biography movie of Michael Jackson: This Is It. I can't wait to see the movie! Everyone in my age group (basically "freshman" in the sense that we are new) is excited, except one (mmcoughcoughelenacough) who thinks that Michael Jackson isn't really good at music.
    I totally respect that opinion, although my own is quite the contrary. And so does our group sponsor. Anyway, we are going to see it Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. and I hope to take pictures of us before and after the movie! :)

Here's the trailer!

College Fair on 11/4/09!

    I wasn't able to take pictures of my friends and me. Only because I had forgotten to take my camera. Anyway, as a young student and knowing nothing of how to approach college and university representatives in a college fair, I had basically taken everything on their tables that were offered to the visitors and decided to look at them later.
    Some colleges I had thought of going out of state for, is UCDavis, UCBerkeley, UCLA, USC, Harvard, Yale, or UCSB. For what?

    UCDavis - engineering or animal studies.
    UCBerkeley - astronomy or biology.
    UCLA - arts or engineering.
    USC - engineering.
    Harvard - for all the above or below.
    Yale - journalism.
    UCSB - teacher crudentials.
   
    Basically I have my future planned out, with several backup plans to support me. If all those backup plans fail to accomplish, then I'll work at McDonald's somewhere, lol. :)

Milkmoon.... Congratulations!

I had taken a glimpse on your blog, and I had to admit that your blog was interesting, unique, and pleasantly pretty. I give thanks to the Blog Of Note that had shown me your blog, and I hope to hear more of your new posts and interesting life in beautiful Ireland. :)
Once again, congratulations!

Friend Sickness

My name's Michelle (obviously) and I just had a weird experience. I was just walking through my school after 5th period, and all of a sudden, this one kid who looks just like my friend Chandler Smith from elementary school! I mean, he had the face, and the upright hair and everything. Oddly enough, he was smiling at me, and I looked at him confoundedly while he walked away. I was like, WTF. I was gonna scream out his name, and ask him if he was my moved-away-and-never-come-back-from-idaho friend. But then I thought it was too good to be true.
He was my best friend since 1st grade, and I still consider him my friend even though many years has gone by since his moving away. Maybe when we're in college we'll meet up again and then catch up on old times and what high school was like for us and elementary and junior high. :(
I miss him so much, and if you're reading this Chandler well :) glad you did read this then! Email me or something, contact me or something! Okay? Awesome :)
Tell me of your friend stories, I'd like to hear them :D
