Listening to: "Simply Being Loved (Somnambulist)" - BT
I know I still owe a post about Salvador and my project/school fair, but that'll be later. News of today is that I recieved a fancy invitation to a 15th birthday party. Turning 15 here in Brazil is like turning 16 in the US. It's a big deal. So if people have the money, they make a whole thing about it and force people follow a formal dress code. I was complaing to my dad that I have nothing fancy except a V-cut, black cotton dress that goes to the knee. I was insistant that it probably would be too simple. My dad disagrees... But whatever. I just want to go-- I've never been to one of those parties. 'Only heard of them.
On other news, I'm studying for test week that's coming up after this weekend. I'm nervous and anxious, and I can't seem to concentrate very long or else I get frantic. So here I am. Blogging and reading NANA and feeling lame.
For no real good reason, I guess. I had a good day today. I went to class as usual, only you could barely consider it class since all we did was sit there and get our notebooks checked and what not. I also recieved a CD from Jessica (one of the girls in my class which I have been trying hard to be friends with) as a "last day of school" thing. I was so happy. But it was weird to think it was the last day of school. I had suddenly realized how much I had gotten used to the school and how much I am willing to continue next year.
I'm mostly feeling down 'cause I managed to miss the 2 days in which my last school's (the school I was in last year) 8th grade class was going to perform their play... and I really wanted to go-- but I just didn't plan. Yesterday I rememberd it was the first day to go, and I should have taken advantage of the fact that it was a holiday, but I only remembered by the time Jessica came over with me... so I couldn't cancel that, and in the end I didn't want to. I thought I had today. But I spaced it out and ended up getting distracted and well, my dad, I know, wasn't very into to taking me (he's had back pain for the past day or 2 for some reason) and well... my guilt only really kicked in when Paula calls me asking if I was going to come.
Anyway... what is, is done... Nothing you can do about it.
GAH. How can I be so childish in these times...? To get all mopey because of some play. But STILL, I was waiting for this darn it.. Why didn't I plan accordingly?! Time just creeps up on you, man. V_V (<-- remember this dude?)

Haha, I remember that dude! He's cool! He's kind of sad and mopey though, yeah. Perfect expression for your feeling.
I can understand your mopeyness. Sometimes when you really want to do something and it doesn't work out, it sucks. So it's understandable to be mopey, totally.
I am sorry you missed the play. Hopefully there will be more plays and you can attend those? Paula will forgive you, don't worry. It is more difficult for you to get there now that you don't go there anymore. Don't feel bad.
Maybe someone videotaped the play and you can thus watch it? Or they can re-enact it for you, your friends can? lol.
The 15 year old thing, is it called qin cin yeta or however you spell it? I have heard of Hispanics/Mexicans do it, maybe Brazilians also?
Could you explain what they do at this party? It sounds interesting and cultural.
So did you go to it? How was it? I know what you mena about the dresses. I have no party dresses, either. >_< Just funeral-attending type ones, and summer dresses. I hope you found a dress, or just wore yours (or borrowed one! yay! That always works).
Yay for posties!! I have posties, too. *nudges you to comment on both blogs* *nudgenudge*
