Hey All (friends and strangers),
I am almost done with my junior year of highschool!
It is really quite odd to think I'll be a senior next year.
I don't feel old enough to be there yet.
And I'm very excited about turning 17 in October 2007. :)
At the same time, I want to be mature and fit that age...
does that make sense? I hope so.
random thoughts:
I'm glad the sky is blue and not some strange yellow or green.
I am going to have a good year next year based on my approach and attitude, not the circumstances.
Never Forget,
Camila

My Sister's Graduation (and of course etcetera)
Dear Humanity in General,
I went to my sister Emily's graduation from college this morning.
But I went through a lot just to get here. :P
On Friday morning, my family and I started out on a drive
that lasted about 25 hours. My parents drove overnight and
my brother and I tried to sleep.
Anyways, enough complaining.
This morning, I wore a very not warm outfit and it was drizzling and very cold.
Thankfully, there was a fleece blanket and my sister Felisa and I wrapped it around
ourselves. So we were warm.
And of course. my etcetera.
Life is crazy but you gotta love it. :D

Just Some Semi-scattered Thoughts
Hi...not sure how to address you.
Friends? but some of you are family.
and some of you are strangers.
So...humanity in general. there. I suppose that works for now.
hah.
Dear Humanity in General,
I am doing fine, in the simplest sense of the word. My room is a mess, I'm behind on schoolwork, and am being an American teenager. Suffice it to say that on the outside, I look a lot like anyone else.
But my life--my experiences--have definitely changed me.
As for updates on the things that I have posted, that school was good and the people there were friendly. However, a year in internet school has made it hard for me. It's much easier to type words to someone on the other side of a computer than actually talk to the person standing right in front of me. It's hard. But hopefully...I'll learn how to be myself in the truest sense, and come out of this year more confident and beautiful inside and out.
I write a lot of poems and songs. I would post them on here but I don't trust everyone on the internet, and for good reason. :)

Visiting a Possible School
Hey all you amazing folk,
I am visiting a school today that I might go to for my senior year!
I am sitting through a few classes before lunch and then going to lunch there too.
I'm really excited about this...to say the least. On other subjects...hmm.
I am unfortunately not writing more of my novel right now, because of dratted schoolwork.
In the summer, I plan to finish the entire first draft. :D

Mondays are Opportunities for Good Attitudes and Hard Work
Hey All,
it's Monday again. I am determined to get a lot of work done, catch up, and feel really good about it. Please pray about the choice of a school for me next year. Mom and Dad are still figuring that out. Anyways, this'll be a shorty because I really don't have much time to do ANYTHING but school. But for all of you discovering my blog that I know and love, know that I miss you. I miss so many people all over the world. I HATE time zones.
With that said, even through my crazy MK life, God is good and faithful. I am grateful that he's there for me to come back to, even when i wonder and fall into swamps.
A few random thoughts...
~I'm thinking about writing a stream of consciousness book :D wouldn't that be fun to try to read? :P
~I am SO looking forward to real school next year!
Alrighty. Time to sign off.
Never Forget,

One Day at a Time
Hey Everyone,
I know that a lot of people won't be reading this at first. But it's a way for me to get some of my feelings and thoughts out in a concrete form.
I titled this the way I did because I have a way of worrying about tomorrow. Even though God tells us not to worry at all, I constantly find myself worrying--especially about school.
Let this be a reminder to all of us to take hold of the moment, of the day. Let us live as if this is our only day. Every time I wake up, I tend to think that I want to go back to sleep. I can't enjoy the day with that perspective!! I am going to let myself soak in moments.
It doesn't have to be big things. A hug from a loved one, saying "i love you" and meaning it, working hard at school because we're so blessed to have it, or even just stopping and breathing the air. God is good, and signs of his beauty and love are all around us. I feel like I was blind to everything. Sunshine isn't just for staying healthy, guys. It's for us to BASK in. Enjoy drinking and playing with water; it's very unique. :)
Love life, love God, and love people with everything you have.
