My Not So Normal Life (Book 1)

Day 4

December 16, 2014
Dear Diary,
This morning my internal alarm clock woke me up at ten to six. I don't understand why my body wakes me up that early, but I guess I can't really complain.
So I noticed that I forgot to mention that I hurt my ankle yesterday. I don't even know how it happened. One moment I was on the couch, then when I went to stand up my ankle gave out.
This morning when I was running around trying to get my stuff ready, I almost fell down the stairs and hurt my hip! Then during lunch I was running around the seminary building, when I ran into a corner of a desk. It was on the side that hurt too. I just laid on the ground laughing my head off, and crying, because it really hurt! It's kind of gotten worse through out the day. I was wondering why my hips were so out of whack, when I realized that it was "that time of the month". Everything finally made sense!
Lots of people around here are getting sick. There are so many people missing school because of it. I just really hope I don't get sick!
Syd gets home in four days. It has been a real torture not seeing him at school. Today was horrible, because I had Language Arts twice, and during both classes I looked back to see him, but he wasn't there.
When I really miss him I snapchat him to try and get him to send a pic of his face. When he does I just stare at the pic - wishing he was here with me - it till it goes away.
He has been having so much fun in Arizona! It's so warm and sunny. I won't be surprised if he comes back with a tan! I'll be super jealous. All the food he has eaten so far looks amazing.
So this morning during LA I was texting Syd, and he said, "What would you do if we were at a basketball game and we came up on the kiss cam?"
At first I had no idea what to say. When I read the text I started to blush. I ended up saying that it would depend on how old we were! Maybe I should have answered differently.
For young women's, we went caroling for about an hour. Then after that, we went to the nativity. The nativity is the same every single year, we just go to remind ourselves what Christmas is really about! It's not about presents and such, it's about the Savior's birth!
I don't consider myself as a girly girl, but I definitely do have those moments. Like tonight I got so bored I did my nails! I was texting Syd at first, but then he stopped texting me for no reason. I later found out he was watching videos on his iPod. Boys sometimes drive me crazy, but I love them!
Later when he sent me some pictures from that day, he sent me a picture of the word LOVE stacked up. The L and the O were on the too, with the V under the L, and the E under the O. I wonder why he sent that. Does he mean something by it, or did he just send it because he took a pic of it? But then why did he take a pic of it? Does he love me? These questions will probably never get answered.
When he gets back, I kind of just want to pop by for a surprise visit, just to see him one more time before 2015. And to get another hug from him! Maybe I could get Mae and Brooke to make a welcome back sign with me, and we could surprise them when they get back! Maybe that would be a little weird, because they were gone for only a week!
I'm going to try and somehow get Syd's letter into his room before he gets back! I might hide it somewhere on his computer desk, and then text him to tell him where it is.
So I'm thinking about getting a iPhone 5 before the beginning of summer. The main reason I'd get it, would be because I am thinking about getting a job, and if I had a phone, it would make everything that much easier! Syd asked me if I would give him my iPod if I ended up getting the iPhone, and I said sure. I might make him pay for part of it, so I can get a little money out of it.
Good night Diary,
