That’s pretty much it. 
The dress code is super strict. I get in trouble for my skirt lengths a lot (apparently I’m a brazen hussy tempting the young men to sin.)
(I accidentally typed that as “sing.” Which would be a completely different story.)
I usually do cardigans when it’s cooler, but those make me look like Rachel Berry. And blazers make my boobs look pornographic.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT DO WITH MYSELF.
Outfit of the Day: Pocket Full of Sunshine
I tried smiling better. I think I look like Lumpy Space Princess.
Anyways.
I’ve reached that point where i hate every single item in my wardrobe. Do you ever get that, or is that just me? I’m just so bored with my clothes. Plus I haven’t gone running in ages so I’ve gotten all squishy and lumpy.
Again, Lumpy Space Princess.
Today is the first day of the year that I’ve broken out my favorite pair of sandals! It’s been in the 70s and 80s all week, so I figured it was time. Aren’t they cute?
(They also fasten with velcro. And are size 4 1/2 in childrens. And are from the iCarly line at Payless. #YOLO and whatnot.)
Also, every time I curl my hair I look like I’m going onstage in The Music Man. I have these Victorian little girl sausage ringlets. So then I brush it out and I look like a mess.
Someone please teach me all these things.

Outfit of the Day: 20 Shades of Poorly Planned Pink
You know how I said that I tend to dress like crap when I’m not careful? Well, this is an example of me dressing poorly.
And also standing poorly.
And also smiling poorly (to wit: not smiling at all).
And also I am wearing a super cute pink flower in my hair and you can’t see it in either picture.
But now that I’m looking at the picture, the skirt hangs awkwardly on me, and the belt would look better if it was wider (I think), and the shoes are NOT GOOD. Holy hot pink, Batman. Does not match at all. And my lips don’t blend well either. There’s like 20 shades of poorly planned pink going on here, and it needs to stop.
So this is pretty much a fail, all the way around. I at least like the way my eye turned out, though!
I’ve gotten some super awesome advice, though, and I’d love to hear any tip you might have for me, makeup or clothes or hair wise! I’m seriously struggling, y’all.
Also, someone needs to teach me how to smile….

Outfit of the Day: Hello, Sweetie
Item one: for the love of mercy, someone teach me how to take pictures. All I hear is “use natural light!” but as you can see…I CANNOT TAKE A PICTURE THAT MAKES ME LOOK LIKE A DECENT HUMAN. So…yes.
I was in a big hurry, so scrunched waves it was for the day. Everything else I just sort of grabbed. I had a yellow belt to match my headband, but the stupid thing has a broken clasp, so my sister let me borrow her beloved Doctor Who belt (with a seatbelt buckle clasp!). I put it on and she stared at me for a minute before going “OH MY GOD YOU’RE RIVER SONG.”
So there we are.

Outfit of the Day: I Dress Like a Kindergartener and a Grandma at the Same Time
I have a really bad habit of dressing like crap. Like, I just…I don’t know. It’s almost the end of the school year and I’ve practically given up on life. So I’m using this blog to motivate myself. Effective? Hopefully. I want to look nice. And look my age. But unfortunately, this is definitely not a look for a grown up. Dammit. I need to work on that.
You’d think that combining saddle shoes and a dress Rachel Berry wore on the first season of Glee would be a good indicator that I’m not dressing my age…

IT. SUCKS. SO. MUCH.
In each pay period I:
-tutor (10 hours)
-work the afterschool care program (13 hours)
-assist the music teacher (6 hours)
-teach my theater arts class (10 hours)
-work in the library (10 hours)
This comes out to 53 hours of work per pay period.
So yeah, a bit less than $5 an hour.
This does not include rehearsals, which is between 6 and 9 additional hours per week (or 12 to 18 hours per pay period). I am not paid for directing, as it is assumed to be part of my theatre arts class. Oh, and that doesn’t include the Saturday rehearsals.
If I added in the rehearsal time to include hours I actually work, I would make about $4 an hour.
Raurgh.
You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown opens tomorrow and my babies are going to kill it!! #proudmama
Ahhhh! I have the 10th anniversary DVD, but I haven’t seen the 25th.
My favorite song is “On My Own,” for sentimental reasons (short version: it’s the moment that 13-year-old me decided to study theatre), but I really adore “Confrontation,” “Do You Hear the People Sing?” and Cosette’s opening solo in “In My Life.” And also the beginning of “At the End of the Day;” it’s so driving and passionate.
IT IS IT IS IT ISSSSS.
My three favorite songs are “Naughty,” “When I Grow Up,” and “Quiet.” But I also love the Bruce song and the Telly song.
Also, when my kids don’t listen to me, I sing the “MY MUMMY SAYS I’M A MIRACLE” part as loud as I can until they get quiet.
