Outfit: purple and white striped cashmere tunic-sweater with a square neck, black skinny jeans, tall black Uggs.
Mood: relieved, relaxed, and rejuvenated
YAY!!!! I should probably explain my happiness...today we got our midterm exams back, hence the title of this blog. This is the opening line from Their Eyes Were Watching God (needless to say, I have embraced the book title as blog title thing. I just want to say that I have read all of the books I'm quoting! If I didn't I'd feel too pretentious), and it reminds me of that split-second after the teacher calls your name, right before your grade is announced. It is completely agonizing, and all your hopes are riding on the next words out of his/her mouth. ANYWAY, since our exams finished yesterday, we got the day off, and just had to go in in the morning to get our grades. I got an A in everything but math, (hey, like six other kids and I take Algebra 1 Honors with the 9th grade, despite being in 8th grade, and I've never been fabulous at math) which I got a B in. To celebrate the end of our hectic, horrible, and highly stressful week, my best friend Olivia and I went to the spa, which is reallyreally expensive/exclusive, so our moms only treat us to it a few times a year. I got a facial, eyebrow wax, and mani-pedi (in essie hucklebuckle, my absolute favorite nail polish color), hence my rejuvenation. Please don't think I'm a spoiled brat...I'm honestly not! This is an EXTREMLEY rare privelage/treat. Anyway, hope everyone did OK on their exams!! Enjoy the snow
XOXOX,
Thalia ♥

The chief reason for going to school is to get the impression fixed for life that there is a book side for everything.
Outfit: indigo puff-sleeved juicy sweat suit and monkey slippers
Mood: over-studied
Happy Thursday everyone!!! My midterms start on Monday, joy of joys. I literally have been studying non stop. I know I always title my posts with a book-quote, but this Robert Frost quote was too good to pass up. I agree with it completely. School is wayyyy to much about memorization and barely concerns knowledge. ANYWAY, I have, like, 10 minutes before my studying break is over, so I thought I'd share with you my....
GLAM GIRL'S GUIDE TO GETTING THROUGH MIDTERMS WITHOUT GOING INSANE (a supply list)
*CONCEALER! Late-night, early morning studying gives you under-eye circles and bags. Plus, worrying makes you break out. To save mirrors from breaking, concealer is absolutely nessecary. Try Fit Me by Maybelline. It's ah-mazing
*Juicy sweats: comfortable enough to wear while you lie on the couch for hours on end studying, but still cute.
*A good hairspray: You studied till midnight, crashed, and overslept. Your hair literally looks like the bride of Frankenstein. Never fear, hairspray is here! Just spray a bit of hair spray onto a boar bristle brush, brush your hair, and go. It's a bit too simple for the rest of the year, but around testing, you have to cut a girl some slack!
*Color-coded notes. I personally love to make study guides, and I always coordinate the font color with my textbook color for the subject. Bright colors keep me alert while studying (:
*Classical music...sort of: It's actually proven that any music that you absolutely love is just as mentally stimulating and calming as classical music. SO download song...after song...after song.
*Sleepy-time tea: it's relaxing, seriously helps with falling asleep, and tastes great
*Gum: chewing gum during tests (undetected, since it's not allowed) calms me down...not sure why
*DIET COKE!!! I have literally been up till 2AM studying at least twice...this week (I get up at 6:30). Diet coke is seriously the only thing that got me through it! All the caffine, none of the calories!
*An array of comfy, cute sweaters to wear during the actual test. Comfy=relaxing and cute=actually wanting to be seen. My personal favorite is a MJ lavender cashmere sweater. Pair with uggs, and BOOM you have a midterm outfit!!!!
*A way to calm down. I picture my ah-dorable kitty all curled up and sleeping...works everytime.
I have to go memorize 75 vocabulary words...good luck with your tests!! Wish me luck on mine!!!
Ciao for now,

IT is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
OUTFIT: superskinny jeans, gray shirt with sequin embellishments (its alice + olivia!), and my signature charm bracelet. Oh, and royal blue velvet flats
MOOD: bored to tears ):
Oh, dearest readers, I am simply bored out of my mind...with my own life. Since my last post absolutely NOTHING has happened. Zip. Zilch. Nada. So I have been mindlessly watching the cursor blink...and blink...and blink for the past 20 minutes trying to think of something to blog about. The only solution I came up with drew its inspiration from the opening line of Jane Austen's Pride and Predjudice. I have compiled a list (with pictures!) of (hopefully) single men in possession of a good fortune who, should they be in want of a wife, can come knocking on my door! In other words, reallyreally hot, reallyreally famous, reallyreally rich guys who I am hopelessly infatuated with. So what if they're all in their 20's and I'm not even in high school yet...it can happen.
1. Ian Harding, better known as Mr. Fitz on Pretty Little Liars. You'd have to literaly have been born without a brain to think that he isn't the most gorgeous being to ever grace this earth
2. Rupert Grint...Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movies. My friend and I spent an hour and a half fighting over him after we saw the 7th HP movie...I won (:
3. Noel Kahn from Pretty Little Liars (dont know his real name). I like Mr. Fitz better, but he's GORGEOUS!
4. Sean Ackard (Hanna's boyfriend) from Pretty Little Liars. I dont know his real name either. What is it about that show and gorgeous guys?
There are probably more, but I'm not gonna force you into as deep a state of boredom as I'm in now!
Shoutout to: meg and it's a girl, my two commentors. you guys are like the human form of welcome baskets!! Merci beaucoup!
Ciao for now!

It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times
Outfit: white tunic with red embroidery, black skinny jeans, black flats, and my signature silver charm bracelet
Mood: wavering between exhausted, depressed, and near-hysteria
***If you've looked at my profile, THATS NOT MY PICTURE! It's Gary Oldman as Sirius Black in the Harry Potter movie...just in case you were wondering (:
HI! My name is Thalia, and I'm new to blogging...I might not be terrific at it yet, but just bear with me for a while. Wondering about the title? As you should probably know, it is the opening line of Charles Dicken's A Tale of Two Cities. It also completely sums up my life right now. Some things are ah-mazing: my grades are good (and my math grade is finally a B!), my friendships are (mostly) ok, and I'm in my school play. But everything has a bit of a down side too. My friends seem to do everything without me, I got cast in one of the choruses in the play and am in ONE SCENE, midterms are lurking in the distance, and to top it all off, I'm applying to a zillion different high schools, so I am worried about getting in...and the fact that my clingy (no offense!) friends aren't going to take it well when I tell them. But that's life, right? Ups, downs, highs, lows, peace of mind, and mental breakdowns all mixed together. Call me the Bumpersticker Blogger, but it's completely true!
