40%

i miss tv.

weird, i know.

so today was.. great. my sickness is getting MUCH better. can barely talk though (which means i can barely sing! sighhh!)

midterms went fairly well, same with grades.. i'm not too disappointed. (wait till compsci and government.)

took pre-cal (make-up) and it was mostly easy. chemistry was.. horrible, haha i didn't study and crap. so yeah.

gotta study and work hard for compsci. BLAAAH.

spent a lot of "family time" today. mainly with my mom and olyvia. haha man she is so cute <3>

watched almost three hours of television today. it's.. quite different. programs included grey's anatomy, ghost whisperer, house, cashmere mafia, moonshine, numbers, and 20/20. i love grey's anatomy. i really love medical.. things. hahaha. really enjoy 20/20 too. great program -- and there's was on happiness. it was really uplifting. we control 40% of our happiness. (50% goes to genetics, 10% is based on your "whereabouts:" how you look, where you live, how rich your family is, etc.) so you have 40% to control your happiness. what you do, who you befriend, your life choices, etc!

40%! so big, but so small! and yet, it contributes to OUR PERSONAL LIVES every. single. day. and that number continues. as time passes, it lowers, but it always heightens. and of course we have times when we do hit that 40%. and those are the best times.

so yes. i do miss television. i miss the days in middle school where i could watch my favorite programs and then go to sleep and be.. careless! but.. now.. i realize that i do have different tastes. yeah, i still laugh at two and a half men, and the king of queens, and the simpsons. yes, i still enjoy watching american idol and so you think you can dance. but.. now i don't think grey's anatomy and house are stupid. now i don't think that crime-solving shows like CSI and its many spinoffs are unrealistic. they're so.. intelligent. the writers. it's unbelievable. and i enjoy watching it. i guess it's kind of like reading a book. except .. this one shows you the emotions through the actors' words. i like visual books more though, hahaa! XD

wheeeee.

sighhhh.

make your 40% worthwhile.

Oh god, midterms..most horrible week of my life! Don't worry about chemistry...you have an extra 10 points EC, right? You could've missed 10 questions and still made a 100! :)

Compsci. Ew. :x

OLYVIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA <333333 She is the most adorable thing on this planet!

The whole 40% happiness thing is pretty cool! I hope that you hit that 40% more often! :)
