2nd half

the second half of today was awesome! it started on the bus. bethany and kt left their blankets on the bus, so amy and i used them so that we could sit backward in the seat without flashing anyone. so we were sitting there, and i started slipping down the seat. i catch myself though, and sit back straight. amy saw me, and thought hmm... that looks fun, so the next thing i know, amy is wedged into the seat with her rear, about 3 inches from the ground! it was HILARIOUS to watch her try all the different ways to get unstuck. so ya, we did that for a long time, and i discovered i can actually sit on the ground that way. then, we decided to go to subway. danielle was eating "subway" and it looked good, and made me want one. so kamille, amy, and i walked down there! yummm... i hadnt had subway in forever! and that was basically my day, except that i just finished watching ghost, it was good. it reminded me alot of 6th sense.

here is a picture of how we sat on the bus- the yellow thing is the blanket :)

after school

so today i got to stay after school to take pictures of various sporting events :D the first one was tennis. that one was pretty cool, i almost got hit about 6 times(good thing you werent there, grace) but it was fun to be able to watch alot of the people i know playing. but i had to leave before the game was over, because i had to get my stuff out of the yearbook room, so the janitors could clean up. so then, rachel and i went over to the gym, to get pictures of voleyball. jv was still playing, so we took a couple of pictures of them, and figured out the best setting to use. so i used that setting for the rest of their game, no problem. then varsity starts, and i start taking pictures with the same setting. i go through a whole game. (if you dont know volleyball, they play best 3 out of 5 games) so valley had won the first "game" and i had taken probably 50 pictures. the second game is about to begin, and the server is just holding the ball, pretending to serve, but not really doing it. so i figure what the heck, the people looking in the yearbook wont know the diff. so i take the pic. im pretty dure the flash has been going off for a long time. i mean, im INSIDE a building, and even with the flash on, the pictures were pretty dark. anyway, i take the picture, and the ref finally notices, and asks rachel and i not to use the flash. we just said ok, but we were like, ok, weve only been here for the past 20,30 minutes! but it was all cool, bc the battery was dying, and my mom was in the parking lot, and i really didnt want to stay any longer. so we left, and had to take a detour bc buildings wer locked up- and then we drove home, and now im trying to study for history, but it isnt working too well, bc i am stressing over chem! yikes, what a week

weekends

this weekend was super fun, and super short. i was going to go with jessica and friends on friday, to play broomball, but my sister was comming home that night, and we had to do some stuff before she got here. so instead, i did homework, did the 'GETTING READY" and went out to sushi with my mom :D yummm.
my sister and brother got hrere that night, and we sat around talking. next morning we woke up, i did more homework, and then my dad pumped my tire up, and my brother and i raced over to good-year (we could feel the car tilt, as the tire lost more and more air) . so i am getting 2 new front tires. then we went to circuit city, and had them instal my printer on my computer ( i just used it for the first time, tonight) and then came home. actually, we were home for 2 minutes, and the we went BACK to sushi, for lunch, and i went home to meet danielle, and my mom and fam went to see the kittens. danielle pulled up as i got out of the car, and we walked down to my grandparents house, and we played/watched the kiteens. then we got a ride back home, and stood talking out on the front porch. that night mary, ben, jim, and i walked to the park and the guys played tennis, and mary and i sat on the swings! i love the swings. then i "played" more like tried to play tennis with jim. and that was my firday/ saturday- very fun

i am so bored right now! actually, im just dreading going back to school tomorrow. i know that once i start school, i know ill be fine, its just getting back into it that is hard. especially since i know i have a couple of tests comming up :)
oh, and my sister and brother are here, so im not going to want to go to bed early, but if i dont go to bed early on sunday- im tired the whole week. ill be glad to see you guys again.

hooray

i made an appointment at the dmv to take my drivers test!

junior year

talk about stress of junior year! by the end of this week, i will have taken at least 5 quizes! 5! and they aren't your typical i-dont-have-to-study quizes, either. ive had 2 in english, so far (there may be another one) i have math on friday, i have chemistry on friday, and i have woodshop on friday. oh yeah, i had a chem quiz on moday, too. that makes at least 6 quizes. yikes! plus i think i have 2/3 tests next week, but i dont wan to think about them yet :D

fun stuff... my sister and brother (mary and ben) are comming down this weekend :D very exciting. hopefully i wont have to study all weekend

:C

i have another flat tire. that is my second flat in like 2/3 months. whats up with that? oh well, ill just get it patched- all part of the funness of owning your own car :D

first week

i had foolishly planned on going to the football game last night, but no duh, i was way too tired. every Friday night, i am wiped out! so yesterday, i crawled into bed with my year book, and after looking at it, fell asleep for about 2 hours. man, did i feel good after that.
this week was awesome! i love my schedule, and am actually pretty glad to be back in school. i have : yearbook- which is awesome so far, i know itll get stressful later, but i still think im going to love it. i had a blast getting to pass out the yearbooks :D
next is woodshop: i know sophomore SAM, senior norm, and also senior Morgan, who just switched into our class. so I'm not completely alone, and i love sitting next to norm- he is scared of all the tools, so i inevitably spend the whole class laughing.
math: i have with seniors Laura, and Julie. i also have it with shakira, and Hannah VD.
chemistry: i have with Danielle, and Rebekkah, and i sit at the same table with Omar(who i love) Ian furlong, and Alex bostic.
PE: i have with Amy, Cassey, and Kendall. Mrs streelman, doesn't seem so bad, either. shes not Mrs fieldhouse, but she seems nice.
history: i have it with Amy, Rebekkah, Jessica, and Andrea. i sat next to Andrea yesterday, and we were laughing the whole time.
English: i have it with Rebekkah and Chantal.
that's my schedule. the days seem to go by incredibly fast- i feel like break and lunch are shorter than they ever were. i don't think next semester will be so good. i don't have very many of you in my classes. but i am happy for now.

another gone

heather left to go work at big sur for three months, today.

black out

last night i went to soup plantation and a movie with my mom and brother. we went to see Mr beans holiday, and it was pretty funny. his facial expressions are great! as you know, yesterday was the hottest day of the summer,s ow e went to the theatre to cool off. we then came home, and tried to turn on the lights- no luck! the lights in our whole neighborhood were out- about a 2/3 block radius. well, with all the alarm clocks turned off, my parents were wondering how they would wake up since school started today! anyway, it was rather weird not to have lights, so we went to Target and bough flashlights. so i spent last night in bed, reading with a flashlight. it was an adventure :D
school starts tomorrow. I'm excited about everything except woodshop which i am terrified about (mostly where it is and how i get there, does anyone know and want to show me tomorrow?) and English. i don't know of anybody that i know in that class, and I'm slightly apprehensive. other than that, 1st semester should be great :D

zac efron

he is sopopular that his face is on folders! i went to target to buy school supplies, and whose face do i see? zac's! and you know what? i bought 'him.' but not for me, don't worry i bought it for louisa. she loves him :D.
i love target! they have everything you could imagine! plates, rugs, furniture, bedding! i love it, i could so easily spend at least a thousand bucks- no problem! target, and another 2 thousand at ikea. i can't wait to get an apartment when i'm 30. at that time i should have money enough to furnish it with stuff i like :D. at least i hope i will be able to by that time

dinner

so i just came home from dinner with heather and nathan, sushi! yum. we went to bamboo terri house- which is the best sushi place ever! so that was fun. oh, and i asked them about things that would be on the license test, and they were teling me about what they had to do. right as nathan was telling me about his, i opened my fortune and it said, "your place in the path of life is in the driver's seat" maybe its an omen :D
