*sigh*

sorry it's been nearly a week since I last posted anything but it's been a long week with way too much homework. Have you ever had one of those weeks where you have 3 projects due on Friday? That's just the story of my life. I had a project due in English about the Odyssey. I also had something due in Spanish and a 5 page research paper for Science. Almost everything got turned in on time except the research paper. See I typed it up and saved it and the exited the page so I could go e-mail it to myself so I could print it out at school. It wasn't there. We looked through the whole computer and it was totally gone. So then I had to go ask Campbell for an extension. Fortunately he gave it to me but that means I've gotta type up my paper tomorrow. All 5 pages. Also if you live in the Seattle area the roads are no longer safe... because I've got my permit!!! I actually took a decent picture too. I went on mky first drive yesterday. In just 20 minutes I managed to almost run into a mailbox, a ditch, and a parked car. I didn't but it was still scary and that was a low traffic back road. I wonder what will happen when I go onto a real road with a lot of traffic. That will be scary. Ok well I shall go so I can sleep or something. Key word: or something. Have a good week and pray for me so I don't like kill myself or something while I'm driving. Haha just kidding!

The weekend

Hi there. My weekend was fairly unevenful. My dad and stepmom were going to some sort of couples night at church. We got to stay home and rent movies. We got Swing Vote and The City of Ember. The City of Ember was better. Then Saturday my dad rented Starwars episode IV and The Terminator. I really liked the Terminator. Except the part where the terminator cut his own eye out. That was gross. Today we went to church and I got a chocolate chip muffin. It was tasty. that's all the news I have. I'm actually happy to go back to school tomorrow. I can't wait to see Josh. *sigh* Well that's all my news so I shall just find a relevant picture to go with this. Somehow. Bye!

Valentines and everything else

Sorry I haven't posted anything new in a few days. Surpringly being on break actually gives you the illusion that you're busier than if you were at school. Anyway I'll start with valentines day. The day itself was pretty boring. My mom and I ran errands like getting the car checked and stuff. I was supposed to be at my dad's for the weekend but he and my stepmom were out of town in warm California because my dad had some inspections for a couple ships out there and since it was Valentine's weekend he took Kyle with him so I was at my mom's this weekend. I also got my report card in the mail. I got 3 As, 2Bs, and a C- which isn't too bad but still my parents were just like work on the C- in science. Yeah too bad it's second period science which is hard enough to stay awake in but I have it right after Team Sports where we have to jog for 10 minutes non stop or on Mondays we run the mile or if the track is slick we jog for 20 minutes which believe it or not is a good way to put you to sleep next period. Not to mention Campbell pretty much speaks in monotone which is actually sleep inducing. All in all an impossible task. The only somewhat exciting thing that happened on cupid day is that my mom's boyfriend who we've never met before came over. He was nice I liked him (to my mom if you're reading I told you I wouldn't say anything mean on my blogs anymore well except about teachers) and he came bringing gifts of pizza, soda, and chocolate. Even for my sister and I. He's a keeper. No but he was really nice and his parents have a cat called a serval which pretty much looks like a bobcat or a leopard or something. I definitely want to meet that kitty! It's big too. They have to have a permit to keep it or something. So it's like a house broken carnivore kitty. Hmmmm. Anyway Sunday was boring. We stayed home and did nothing. Yesterday was president's day and the start of our midwinter break. Too bad this is our last midwinter break. Anyway yesterday we (my mom, my sister, and I) all had optometrist appointments. I got my eyes dialated and it felt like I was looking through a fishbowl for most of the day. It's a good thing they gave me a sample pair because I'm going in to the DOL on wednesday with my dad and I'm getting my permit and it would be a bad thing if I didn't get it because I didn't pass the vision test. We got a bunch of grocery items afterwards for Sabrina and I to eat for lunch and breakfast while we're on break this week. Well it's a little past 9AM right now so it seems as if I might be in need of a little breakfast. Oh! Another thing I found out from my friend Hazel is that my strings teacher that I had last year back on the east coast is getting married. It seems like everybodys getting married now. My leader of my small group is getting married too but her wedding's not until October. Ok well I must go track down the cereal. Good bye my two readers. By the way the picture in the top? that's a serval.

Conversations with Josh

So today I had a really good day. Today when I talked to Josh we talked about some pretty personal stuff. I won't mention all of it because like I said it's personal. I'll just say that it's a pretty important thing to talk about. Especially if you are planning to date the person who you're talking to. So there is still hope. I will tell you that he told me his 4 expectations for any girl he dates. I'll also tell you that I easily meet all 4. I won't talk about the first one because that was the personal topic but #2 is that any girl he dates must be a Christian. Check. #3 is that she can't smoke or drink. Check. and #4 is that she can't do drugs. Check! I think it might be possible that Josh was telling this because he likes me. Hopefully. He didn't give the valentine to Kelsie. He told me he couldn't get one because he was sick so he couldn't leave the house. I don't think so. He could've left his house or he could've made one if he really wanted to give her one. Also he told me he thinks valentines day is a cliche holiday anyway so if he thinks that why would he buy one anyway? So I'm really hoping he likes me. You know what I realized. Today is Friday the 13th. There's a Friday the 13th next month too. That would bother me if I were superstitious. I think it's all in the head. I just realized something else! If I believed in luck I'd have really bad luck because I saw a black cat today and it did cross my path. I've had the best unlucky day ever I guess! Oxymoron!

Not Friday

Ello. Today wan't too interesting but I was talking to Josh today (he was out wednesday because he was sick and he went home early today because he still is) and I had told my friend Sierra from my PE on wednesday that the reason why I didn't talk to him that morning was because he was sick so today Josh and I were chatting and she walked up to us (Josh didn't know her at this point) and said "Are you feeling better?" and he's just like "Not really. Who are you?" It was so funny! I introduced them and Josh says she's nice. Anyway after the bell rang I caught up with Sierra in the locker room so I just pretty much told her how cute I think he is. She says we'd be a good couple. Too bad he likes Kelsie. But I'm not bitter about that anymore. Except maybe a little. But for the most part I'm over it. Especially since Kelsie has never even spoke to him or given him the time of day. So there's still hope! Anyway so Josh's class was playing dodgeball at that time so after our 5 minute jog we got to choose between weight training, volley ball, basketball, or playing dodgeball with the weight training class. Yeah I chose dodgeball even though we were on different teams the whole time. Yeah I'm obsessed. Not stalker obsessed but yeah still obsessed. I refuse to give up hope! Well tomorrow's Friday and we're running on not only a half day schedule but also an assembly schedule AND a fire drill schedule so classes will be super short. And we're off all next week for midwinter break so that'll be nice. Oh and I found out that sometime next month for orchestra we're going on an overnight trip to Bellingham for a festival I assume. I think we were supposed to pick roommates for the hotel rooms today but we had a B flat scale test instead. Not nearly as fun. Oh well I already know that I want to room with Catherine and Katreen. We're the 3 freshman first violinists. The freshman seconds think we're snobby just because we're in higher chairs than them. Oh well that's their problem. The other first violin girls (Esther and Heather- both Juniors) aren't going to want to room with us. Maybe we can get Katy to room with us but she might want to room with all the other viola girls. I don't know. No more news.

Valentines shmalentines

yeah I'm officially a pessimist when it comes to Valentines day. It's all commercial. Especailly since you know that guy I think is cute and talks to me in the mornings? Yeah well this morning he told me that he thinks a girl in our orchestra class is cute and he's thinking of giving her a valentine. Yeah it was like a slap in the face but I'll get over it. Eventually. Until then I'll be emo for awhile and everybody will avoid me including (hopefully) loverboy. Although that doesn't seem to be happening. He doesn't seem to think that anything's wrong. Why just after lunch he walked up to me with a pack of red vines and told me he wanted to bit an end off a bunch and put mustard in them and offer them to his friends. I admit that would be funny. But I'm too mad at him right now to care. Oh well tomorrow he might not even be at school because he told me he was getting sick and he going to try to stay home. That's fine with me. I don't care. I honestly don't anymore. No other news.

Game outcomes and the rest of it

I'm here...again. Anyway the pep assembly wasn't too bad. I sat with Katreen which made it more bearable so that was good. Mariner won the game (of course) so yay! iIt was a pretty good game but we were up the whole time so it wasn't exactly a close game. We won 82-53. My weekend was ok. I went to Everett mall and spent my gift card that I have for there. I bought a book, jellybeans, and a mini ipod sound dock to keep at my dad's house so I can play it aloud over there because I like to sleep with my ipod playing on the weekends. Well today's Monday. I hate Mondays. Especially since Monday is now known as mile Monday. Oh joy! USUALLY we go out to the track and run the mile but guess what? there was snow on the ground this morning! which mean it was slick which meant running outside was out meaning we got to run inside for 20 minutes. Ug! Even I can run a mile in less than 20 minutes. Plus if we're running the mile they can't tell us we have to jog the whole time with no walking. But that's what we did today. My legs felt like they were ran over through 3rd period. And in second period Campbell put on a video and turned off the lights. What do you think I did? yep I fell asleep but can you really blame me? anyway back to the story at hand. After we were done and we did our stretches they told us we could either walk around or play basketball but we had to keep moving. How stupid is that? "Yes you just got done running for 20 minutes straight but no of course you can't sit down! How stupid are you?" My God! anyway so I walked and talked with a girl in my class named Larissa (we rhyme). So we stopped for like 10 seconds and leaned against a wall and then Griffin got in our faces and told us to keep walking. So we did which wasn't that bad but its just like who tied your panties in a bunch? you know. So anyway when class was over Griffin called both of us over and we don't have unlimited time to get dressed or anything. We have like 2 minutes and we was cutting into that time. So when we got there Griffin went off on us telling us that he's not a babysitter and it's just like ohmigod we rested 10 seconds after we'd been running 20 frickin minutes you can cut us some slack here. But I'm almost sure he gave us a zero for today which is retarded. Anyway I honestly hate Griffin. But whatever. In other news I had my third rehearsal for the symphony today. It went pretty well. I'm really getting the music down and I've only been looking at it for 3 weeks and I've got it down better than half the other people in the group. I really wish I was a first violin like I am in class. Maybe next concert. Or next year. Next week we're not having rehearsal because it's the start of midwinterbreak. Haha none of you east coast people get that. See Pepper that's one point for the West coast! More breaks. Anyway it might snow tonight. I hate snow. I don't want it to snow. Besides it it snows I don't get to talk to my buddy in the morning=D. I like talking to him. He's cute haha. He will never see this blog. Let's just hope I don't let it slip on accident while talking to him. I can always edit it later if I do accidently let it slip. Well I must go do my Spanish homework. Which I hate. Peace!

Waiting

Hey sorry I haven't had time to blog in awhile. I've just been so busy of late. Right now I'm just sitting here in geometry typing this and it's kinda strange because if the person behind me turned around they could easily see what I'm typing. Anyway it's Friday so TGIF. The weekend can't come fast enough or last long enough for me. I can't wait to sleep in haha that's how tired I am right now. In other news tonight is stinky shoe which is the Mariner vs. Kamiak basketball game (Kamiak's going down or at least I hope so) but I haven't decide if I'm going or not. I live right across the street from school so I can just walk over there if I decide to go plus I'm ASB so I get in for free as long as I bring my ASB card for proof which is easy because it's in my pocket right now. Well it's not like any of my friends are going so maybe I'll just stay home. I don't know. There's also a pep assembly after 6th period today which is next since right now is 5th period (yep 6 comes after 5 aren't I smart? I can count! haha). I don't particularly care but it's not like I have a choice besides it means shorter classes for today so why not? I was just think about how many Kamiak friends I have lol I happen to have a lot. Weird. Although most of them go to my church like Stephanie and Felipe. If you can't tell I'm getting kinda random right now because I'm tired. Oh my schedule changed a little. I used to have first period health but now it's second semester and I have PE which would be ok except I hate running. Stretches and team sports are ok but I really hate running. Whatever I guess I'll just suck it up since I don't have a choice. In other news I have a huge research paper to write. 5 pages of nothing but stuff about the effects of climate change on animals. Well at least I got to narrow down my topic myself. That's why I picked animals. Also for the past two mornings I seem to have aquired a new ritual. Maybe. I don't know. Anyway so since I don't really want to show up to PE early I sit on some benches near the bandroom and for the past two days in the mornings I see one of the guys from my orchestra class. We have interesting conversations about weird muscle groups and what we were like in 8th grade and just what we were like in middle school in general. Well that's all the news my sleepy brain can think of so I'm going to log off the computer and just sleep until the bell or something and then get to Spanish. More later.

This week

Well this week is spirit week at school. Monday was black out day. That was fun. Today was sports day but I couldnt find my VT hoodie but I did find my huskies hoodie. Tomorrow's blast from the past day. What am I supposed to wear for that?!?! Thursday is class colors day. Since I'm a freshman our color is orange and I don't own anything orange. Friday is blue and gold day. That much I can do. Anyway in other news I had rehearsal yesterday for the symphony. It went well at least I think so. And yesterday was the beginning of the semester so one of the guys decided he wanted to drop out of orchestra. Since that particular guy was Colton and Colton really gets on my nerves I was happy that he left. Plus that meant I went up to 5th chair at least until tomorrow when we have a chair test. For now I'm sitting with my friend Catherine who's also in the symphony with me. I thought that would be fun. It's not. I mean I love her but shes distracting me. She keeps poking me with her bow plus she's used to sitting with our friend Katreen who doesn't have very good posture so she's used to having a project but I'm a chair above her (at least in class at the symphony she's a first violin and I'm a second because I came in in the middle of the year so that's where they had room for me) so my posture isn't perfect I know but it's pretty good because my private teacher that I had when I first began the instrument nailed it into my head. So now Catherine wants another project since it's a little harder for her to poke Katreen in the back. So now Catherine keeps swinging my scroll and my arm way out to the side where I can't see Angelos or Esther (the concert mistress) plus since my arm is swung out where it isn't supposed to be my sound is suffering too. And I can barely see my music so it's just not good. She's one of my best friends (I say one because I have many) so I know her intentions are good but the outcome? Not so much. Well when we have the chair test maybe I'll get Kenny as a stand partner instead and she can go back to working with Katreen.

Superbowl

Hi there. My sister's been gone ALL weekend and it's been so quiet. Also the superbowl is today. I REALLY want the Cardinals to kick the steelers's butts. There's a few reasons for this.

1. The Cardinals have never been to the superbowl so it would be awesome if they win

2. The Cardinals are in the same division as the Seahawks

3. The Cardinals may be our division rivals but they're way better than the Steelers

4. The Steelers suck

5. When the Seahawks went to the superbowl the Steelers OBVIOUSLY cheated by paying off the refs because the refs made REALLY bad calls during that whole game and if it weren't for that the Seahawks would've beat the Steelers and word is that the refs of that game were all chewed out by the NFL after the game

6. The Steelers REALLY suck (yes its a repeat but its the truth and deserves 2 mentions on the list)

I'm also looking forward to the commercials this year. Some of them are awesome while some of them are really stupid (usually the burger kind ads are the stupid ones). So right now I'm sitting here with my dad and Kyle (my stepmom) and we're waiting for one of their friends from their small group to show up here in a few. And we're snacking on M&Ms (blue and red for me). Yummy. I'm kinda sleepy right now. It's so warm in here but I can't sleep because then I run the risk of missing any amount of time of the game/ commericals. Hmmmm you know what? I told my small group leader that I'd post a pic of an almond blossom on my blog so that's what that picture is. It had something to do with the bulbs on the lamp in the tabernacle. Don't ask we're reading Hebrews right now. Hebrews 9 to be exact. Anyway tomorrows Monday meaning 2nd symphony practice. Yay! You know what I can't wait for? Midwinter break. It starts on the 16th of this month. Well technically the 17th but we'll be out on the 16th anyway because of president's day. Tomorrow's groundhog day isn't it? If only we got out of school for that. Well I'll post the pic now and then post this to the blog. Adios.
