My week started getting crazy on Monday, when I had to babysit for a day out of the blue. Luckily the next few days were generally normal. Until Thursday, that is. If you hadn't already known, I'm an eighth grader, so my grade took and extremely tiring tour of the High School. Monday will be another normal day, then Tuesday I will not be on at all (Unless I'm extremely lucky) because my grade is going to Lagoon to celebrate our years of middle school. Then Wednesday we have to practice our graduation ceremony, Thursday we get our yearbooks, and Thursday night we graduate. As you can see, I'll be happy for summer break, as it will give me a chance to relax. And Thyna, I'm following your advice. (First person to do so, it looks like. ^^)

Around the end of July, I believe, I'm going to be in Alaska, with no internet or computer. It's sad, but I'll have fun. Those are mainly my only plans. Oh joy. My fainting spells are back. >.< I just have to be a bit more careful. I hope they're gone before Tuesday. They come and go. They've been getting worse lately, though. Could it have something to do with an imbalance in my chakra? I'll have to meditate more often and see if that helps. I had better stop typing now. My fingers are getting numb.

fainting isn't good and too many things that can cause them poor circulation, poor air quality, not enough exercise, stress, medications, low blood sugar, poor diet, minor seizures.... Balancing chakras might help, but so might a visit to the Doctor.

So far, getting to my doctor is a nightmare. I've actually been worried about the fact that it could be minor seizures. Which means Epilepsy. Of course, I could be jumping to conclusions. I have been watching too many health shows lately... XP I already knew I had poor circulation. It's the reason my hands are always cold (like now). The air quality in this place is one of the best places in the U.S., so it isn't that. I have excercise induced asthma, so excercising isn't easy. I'm on medication, but these were taking effect long before I started it. (Yes, I seem to be one sick teenager. And no one ever believes it. XP) So, until I manage to get a visit to the doctor arranged, I will have to hope meditation and sleep is the answer. I only got dizzy once today, though, compared to yesterday's ten times, so I think it's improving. ^^

Nah it sounds like you have enough problems to cause the fainting. I wouldn't worry about epilepsy too much, as usually with the fainting there are other things that go along with it like creepy sensations (not necessarily fear), irritablility for no reason, before and after, as well as the minor tremmors and naturally the grand mal events (Full body convulsions).
But then I'm not a doctor, so I can't diagnose.

When you get these spells, see if there is a pattern of what is happening around you, a trigger so-to-speak. If there is, you may be able to minimize the trigger, hence lessening the spells. One of the more famous causes of an epileptic seizure are bright flashing lights like strobe lights, and generally people learn to avoid them when possible, but there can be other triggers too (like excess stress). If stress seems to be a trigger, meditation will be a BIG help. Also, balancing your chakras can help to a small extent. I know that the books say that it should be able to help nearly everything, but with my knowledge of medicine (limited as it may be), seeing a doctor doesn't hurt to make sure you don't exacerbate the problem.
You might alter your diet a bit too. If you get too much salt, or too much sugar, cut back some, it might help (of course, it may help other things to, so its always a good idea to try to keep your diet in check anyway....though I can't manage to do it either.... xp ).
I hope it does go away while you're in Alaska, the altitude change might affect you too! Hopefully it doesn't so you can enjoy every part of your vacation. Have fun if we don't talk until you get back!!!!!

Well, I'm not going to Alaska until the end of June... or was it July? I can't remember. I'm completely exhausted from going to Lagoon yesterday. I can't really think right now. I'll post again later.

After tonight, I will officially be a high-schooler. So exciting! I got a new guitar for my graduation present, and I'm extremely happy with it. I'm not tired anymore, which is good. I've still got several hours before the Promotion Ceremony, so I'm just trying to relax a bit now. It's not working so well. >.< I'm really wound up. And again on the fainting (though it's not bothering me anymore). I actually do get fairly irritable at times, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the fainting spells. I think that might be linked to bi-polar disorder or ADD. I do get creepy sensations a lot. (Like for some reason I've been feeling like I'm not going to live much longer) I try to ignore them as best I can, and they usually fade. Again, it seems to have nothing to do with the fainting spells. I've been getting dizzy a lot again, but it's nowhere near as severe as it was on Sunday. I've been looking for a trigger, but there doesn't seem to be anything. I'm extremely confused as to what could be causing this. >.< Wow... my longest entry yet... XD

Well, I'm officially a Freshman... kinda scary. It'll be fun, though, so I'm looking forward to it. It's sad that I'm leaving my friend Crackers behind. She's my best friend at the school who isn't in my grade. She lives nearby, though, so I can stay in contact. I got two certificates of academic prowess. One for Academic Excellence, one for Academic Achievement. My dad was extremely proud. The old president of our class had a great speech. He always does his own thing. And he always makes things funny. The dance afterward was boring. They did play Alice Cooper's "School's Out" which was fun because everyone knew it. The rest were mainly rap songs. It got really boring. We let go a really big balloon arch. It was fun to watch it float up into the midnight sky. I didn't get home until about 11. I was tired, but I couldn't sleep anyway. I ended up falling asleep and sleeping two hours short of twelve hours. Which was nice. I needed it. I suppose that's about all that's happened recently. I'm out for the summer, so hopefully I'll be on longer.

Congratulations!!! Honestly, Freshman year will be fun. (Senior year is the best because you finally know all the teachers and how they work!!!).
Just remember to not procrastinate TOO terribly much, and you'll most likely do spectacularly. Keep your friends close. Just because you're the maggots right now, doesn't mean that the Juniors and Seniors can pick on you...remember, you'll be in their spot soon enough! heart
If you need any help with any subjects (except math...I'm not too terribly good with that one), let me know! I'll be MORE than happy to help ya!

I don't think I'll need any help with any subjects, but if I do I'll be sure to ask! I'm going to be put into English Honors, which will be nice. I've been needing more of a challenge. I'm not sure if I'll be put into Algebra, but that would be nice. I don't think I need pre-Algebra stuff... I guess I'll find out then. I hope I can go into French and Drama... those will be very fun. ^^ I'm looking forward to being on longer, plus I'll be getting twenty bucks a week for doing chores. ^^

I think it's safe to say I've officially become bored... I've been studying out of an algebra book for fun. It's actually pretty easy. I'm not going to Alaska until the end of July (my dad knows the exact dates. I don't) but I'm still looking forward to it. Wow... numbers just flashed in front of my eyes... I think that algebra is messing with my mind. But it's helping me understand things a bit more, too. It's getting interesting. I think I'll keep studying between playing my guitar and drawing.

Meep! I've forgotten about this! Well, I've not been doing much, but I've been having nightmares every night for the past week. It's been bothering me, but not too much. All I know is that it's annoying. XP
