I Think I'm Getting Sick

~~~~Sleepy

I'm still not quite awake yet. I've just spent that last two days of my life in Canton Central Cathlioc High School for a Speech and Debate Tournament. It wasn't all that fun. But this year the waiting around hasn't been as bad as the years before. I think it's because Chanda actually spends time with me... it's nice.

Yesterday, we walked across the street to a Taco Bell for dinner and Wally was there! About an hour from home, and who do we run into? Our bestest friend, Wally! We scarred him and it was generally just very funny. It was nice to see someone not in speech for a little while and especially nice since that someone was Wally.

Today I'm not doing ANYTHING. I'm going out to breakfast with my parents, then I plan to come back, change into the most comfy clothes I own and veg. I don't really have any homework I NEED to do so I won't. I'll make some hemp stuff, hang out online, and maybe a few other odds and ends stuff but it's all gonna be at my pace and I'm relaxing!

Chanda and I are going to Legacy Village tomorrow to get her an iPod mini. I can't wait! I need to print out directions though... Later!

*Grrr*

~~~~Cold

What's an RSS link? I want to put the quotes I use to have on my bulletin somewhere else because they were getting too long but I can't think of where to put them. And I don't know what this RSS thing is.

I can't really remember if I had a good day today or not. I'm so exhausted/cold right now that's all I can think about. I climbed into bed around 8:30 and just laid there. Finally, unable to stand it any longer I got up.

So here am I... I am here. I'm printing off some internet articles about Road Rage. I have an expos paper on the subject due Thrusday. Just a rough draft but I still haven't started the paper. It should be 4 - 6 pages. I also should have 75 notecards but they really aren't due until the final copy of the paper's due. But wouldn't it make sense to have all the notecards done? I have 50 right now... only 25 to go! I think I can get them done during class tomorrow then I'll write the paper after school. Maybe I'll skip sectionals. I haven't done that since freshman year. The piccolo part is so easy in all three pieces it's not like I need the practice. Okay, that came out badly. I just don't have the difficult parts the flutes have as the piccolo player... that's better.

I got two internet articles. One's from the BBC about a man being jailed for life for killing another man during a fit of road rage. The other is from New York State and it's all about road rage. That should be a good one... 20 notecard worthy. That means I just need 5 from the BBC article and I'll have it *cheers*.

I have speech tomorrow too *groans* I just remembered that. I want speech to be over now!!! Only two tournaments left! Unfortunatley they're both two day tournaments! But then I'll be done forever :-D

Watchin' the Grammy's

~~~~Sleepy

I think I'll actually get everything I have planned done today. I want to do all my homework (including my Marine Biology), run errands (including returning Chanda's movie, Carolyn's magazine, and getting Tom's Valentine's Day present), baking cookies for my Latin class, and making hemp necklaces with Tom. I've only gotten half of my homework done but once I finish the rest it'll be a good day!

I am so tired now! I finished my homework, returned all the things I've borrowed from Chanda and Carolyn, I went grocery shopping, made cookies for my Latin class, AND I made a new hemp necklace. I'm not sure how much I like my necklace. It's a little loose and I'm afraid it might fall apart. We'll see how it looks after a couple days. I want to make another necklace, a bracelet, and a keychain. I have plenty of hemp to do this with I just need to get started.

I'm sipping some Mandarian Orange Green Tea right now. It's very delicious! However, green tea makes my throat really dry and I have to drink some water afterward. I'm wondering if that's normal.

I'm watching the Grammys right now. I saw Maroon 5 win a Grammy, I watched Green Day perform, and Alicia Keys just won a Grammy. Sweet!

Sittin' in the Coffee Shop

~~~~Pleased

I don't think my prom dress is gonna work! It was perfect, everything I could have ever wanted in a dress. But it just doesn't fit right. Maybe Chanda's mom would be able to make one for me. I don't know though, it'd be a lot of hard work.

I just finished watching Lost. It was good. There 's another new episode next week too. It makes me happy.

I'm going out to breakfast with my A.P. Biology Class. Then I think I'm skipping Humanities for some ''me'' time... Actually I'm doing that now and I'm at News and Brews. I think I'm getting addicted to this skipping thing. It may get bad as the year progresses. I hope it just doesn't get too bad.

Tom and I will then spend the rest of the day together. Because I DON'T HAVE SPEECH TOMORROW!! I think Chanda and I are planning a date to the Hungarian Bakery too. That's a lot to do and I hope Tom's ok with it. I'll have to talk to him He's such a wonderful boyfriend!

What to Say?

~~~~Peaceful
(Maybe not that kind of peaceful but it's still a cute icon)

I always hate thinking of a title to blogs. For some reason it's always a little difficult.

But today was officially a good day due to the lovely break I had in the middle. Due to the glory that is being a senior when the juniors in my World History class went to plan their schedules for next year I decided that the class would be pointless today and I left. Hey, I'm a senior, I should be allowed to skip a class every now and again... I deserve it after putting up witht this school for so long.

A special thank-you to Tom who graciously gave me his car for the morning. I went down to the Hungarian Bakery and had a Chai and a poppyseed crossaint. It was very good. The atmosphere was nice too. I don't think they have wireless access though... *tear* That or my Pocket PC just doesn't work with it. Can that happen? It seems like my Pocket PC works better at Seattles and News and Brews then it does at say, Muddy Waters. They all have free wireless access but Muddy Waters just doesn't work as well. I know nothing about wireless... I don't even know if I'm working my wireless right. Maybe I need a lesson. I wonder who would be an expert on wireless...

Anywhoo, tonight I'm going to Seattles with Kendra to study for my A.P. Biology test tomorrow. It's over plants. Who needs to know about plants? Just kidding.. I was a wiz at the Zoology part of this class... maybe because I took a semester of Zoology but this Botony part... I've never really had a Botony class so I'm a bit stumped. I know that Chlorophyll makes plants green and they make their food through photosynthesis... I probably need to know more then that for an Advanced Placement Test. Mrs. V. also says that some Botony essay would not be a suprising choice for the A.P. test in May... drat. That means I need to know even more!

My Horoscope Said It'd Be a Good Day and it Was

~~~~Okily Dokily

Right! I did have a good day, thank you very much!

Ok, uber weird. I've been blogging on my Pocket PC lately to later transfer to the internet and the file I was using is magically gone! It's like Alivn Jr. was like "ah no, I don't want this file on me anymore... erase!" *grrr* it was a good blog too.

Anywhoo, I'll tell you about my day anyways...

My car battery died last week (no I didn't leave the lights on) and it keeps dying even after many jumps. The most memorable one was when Chanda, Carolyn, and I were at Sam Goody and it died. We had to call Tom to jump me. Then his cables wouldn't reach from where he was parked and where I was parked so we had to shift my car to neutral and push it to another spot. So much fun! But I had some errands to run and I didn't really want to deal with a dying batter all the time so I borrowed Tom's car. He had to work so I just had his car while he was there. I ran to Staples, Buehlers, and the library. I even filled up his gas tank for him. The day culminated at Muddy Waters where I did my homework while awaiting Tom to get off work. I had a green apple smoothie... uber yummy.

Today was also my Marine Biology class. The whole idea of the class is exciting and a lot of fun but the actual class is dulls-ville. It was only the third class so maybe they'll get better... I hope, I hope. But hey, anything that culminates in Key Largo, Florida is worth it!

Of Sick Days and Speech Tournaments

~~~~Stinky

I didn't go to school today. I was scared I would be sick all day. Instead I rested for Littles tomorrow. But Dad talked to Aunt Darcey and she doesn't think I'm allowed to go tomorrow I wish Dad hadn't said anything. It would trave just make things easier. Oh well I I hope I just show up tomorrow and get speech over with. I hope that we get home early. I hope Tom and I can go out. I'm thinking dinner and a movie. Finding Neverland finally came to our movie theater! The Coming- Home dance is tomorrow but I nave no desire to go. I mean, the theme is ''Frozen Ice Crystals of Love.'' WTF! 72 more days until I'm out of here!

Sunday I really have a long list of things to do. But that's such a long time from now. Oh well, the list is on Alvin Jr. I'm sure it'll just get longer.

I finished 'Interview with a Vampire'. It was good but exactly like the movie. However, I really want to read 'The Vampire Lestat', 'Queen of the Damned', and 'The Vampire Armand'. I have 'The Vampire Lestat' reserved but it still hasn't came in. Maybe I'll read a Harry Potter book to entertain myself for a while. I have plenty of books to read for the time being.
