Singing Girl Scout Cookies

The choir room was jam packed with girls and guys; everyone was dressed up accurately. Girls wore black, silky dresses that flowed past their ankles and complimented each body shape. Guys in snazzy black tuxedos, fixed with a purple or green tie.
It was chaos.
Considering everyone had just woken up and arrived at school, the choir teacher was pretty much asking for a hectic morning.
I sat in the back, yellow coat covering up the black dress I hate so much.
We were all heading to Mukilteo for a choir school district trip. We got to sit down, sing, and have judges rate how well we did. Same with dozens of other schools.
After being criticized, a judge would join us in an empty practice room and hold our 'clinic'. Which is basically just a professional singer giving us tips on how to improve vocally and be better.
It was as entertaining as watching paint chip on walls. The only thing I enjoyed was being able to miss all of my other classes for the day. I'd rather sit and hear groups sing than write notes and review for a test.
When we got back to the school, I conversed with Izzy. She's a girl scout. Since it's that time of year again, she's officially selling cookies. She's been roaming around the school with a cardboard box stacked with different varieties this whole week.
I had a $20 with me, since my dad wanted something sweet to nibble on. Izzy hadn't been doing exceptionally well in her cookie business; I spent all of my $20 on cookies.
Which means, I crammed 5 boxes of the fattening treat in my bag.
I got 3 boxes of Thin Mints, 1 box of Samoas, and a box of Savannah Smiles. It's obvious what cookie my dad and I crave the most is.
It was great to be able to help her earn extra money for her troop, and be able to stock up on something that rolls around once a year. Though, I don't necessarily eat these. I really only got the cookies for other people. A box of Thin Mints for my dad, a box for me, a box for my friend. I got the Samoas for myself, personally. And the Savannah Smiles are something I've never tried but heard people rave about for awhile, so I caved and bought some.
I'm excited for tomorrow. My friend and I have made plans to go to the yogurt store in Downtown Edmonds and hang out. I feel like the yogurt place is 'our spot' now. It's relaxing, delicious, and a wonderful place to catch up and converse, considering I never see him. He's in 8th grade, and I'm in 9th. He's in middle school while I laze about in high school.
It's kinda sad, I guess.
I actually had a rather pleasant day today. It was great!
I'm trying to go through life with a smile on my face. Jorgos kind of knocked a little sense into me, for once. I'm still barely that far on the path to success, though. I still hate myself, and I still get jealous of others, but this isn't something that can be fixed within the time span of a few hours. I need to take everything slowly and be blessed for everything and everyone in my life.
Which I am.
Everything I've ever been able to do, and all the people I love and are close with are so amazing in every way. I couldn't function without all of them.
Thanks everybody. I love you all, and I'm so amazingly lucky to have tons of beautiful people on my side. I couldn't of made it without everyone. :)
