Take that, Global Warming!

I never remember what I did in the mornings when I write this a day late. I do remember it was SSR, I was sitting by my locker, and Kathleen commented on the rest of my outfit not matching my shoes, BECAUSE it was SSR XD

I went to Goverment and pretty much wrote out the entire skit for our thing about popular sovereignty.
Then did work.
BUT! "In honor of Youtube working," we got to request songs for the day for Mr. Bruck to play.
So, of course, I chose Green Christmas,
which I then explained to me tablemates as it played in the background.
Too bad we couldn't watch the video, though XD

Then we made more bracelets in Econ.
And saw Bart Simpson naked.

And talked to Mr. English one-on-one.
Scary.
Well, only because I didn't have THIS homework done, since I thought ALL the others were due that day.

THAT'S what I did in the morning! All my past homework!

But then I did it during lunch.

And we had Band until six, so I missed the Drama call out meeting, which Joe apparently HAD to remind me about.

Then Joey and Malachi got in a fight?

Idk.

But then I gave Hermes a ride to accommpany me to Dairy Queen before I had to go back for Meet the Teacher night. And apparently DQ is the happenin' place since we saw Kathleen, Mr. Chaney, Wilson, Seth, and his mom there.

And I had a Chocolate Xtreme Blizzard.

Which rocked.

You know, since I'm not allowed to have chocolate XD

Mr. Stick Man-man-man

I got to study for my nonexistant health quiz this morning in peace :D

Then I still didn't get to play 1st part all day in Jazz Band DX
I truly don't think I'll ever enjoy describing this part of my day...
If Mr. Angel thinks I can't play, he should just tell me...

But I got a good grade on my little paragraph about why Ryan is my role model in Health :)

Back in Music Theory, I got to redo my in class assignment 5 times,

while then doing nothing in EB.

Then I got to run home and finish my Government homework, eat, feed my frogs, and go to Band before seeing Renate.

Kleptomaniacs and Pumaman

I left my stupid glasses in my Band locker from Saturdays practice and had to remember my combo to get them.

I did what I could of my Calculus homework before Kathleen and Paula joined me and Charlie.

Government is always a blur to me.
I remember doing vocab...
Then we got new groups and attempted to make a skit.
Then we did more work.
Oh yeah!
Fire drill!

Then Econ.
Vocab.
Activity.
At least Amanda and Drew and Kathleen make it fun.
We had to make rings and bracelets and necklaces out of beads to represent the different types of economies,
but really we made bracelets and kept them :D

Ap Calc...
I LITERALLY don't remember ANYTHING from 2nd semester last year...
Mr. English keeps making my brain melt T_T

Then we had Band during class

Then I gave Charlie the stolen property bracelet and talked about Mudkips.

The most bittersweet day ever.

Alternately titled, "cos(playing, the sport of champions"
"Music Theory is easy so far"
"You Lose"
"Sex/Suggestive things"
"Treble v. Bass"
"Things you never thought your parents would do, and they actually didn't XD"


Needless to say, I'm never doing my Music Theory homework on time XD

I did my reading this morning and Charlie scared me with a bug.

I went off to Jazz Band where I was pretty much stripped of my 1st chair title.
I failed at leading a sectional b/c seth wouldn't shut up.
But I got a new mouthpiece.
Guess which parts were bitter and which one was sweet?

In health,
I got to talk about how/why Ryan was my role model.
That was actually pretty cool.
Then Mrs. Lawler talked about sex.

Back in the Music Dept.,
I got the reading done,
but guess who switched bass and treble clef on the assignment on the ONE measure they had to read out loud?
Me.
It was rather comical though, so I guess it was all good.
Then there was a fight at lunch.

Then good ol' EB. And Prey.
And a note about cos(playing XD
[Yes, I DID spell it right]

After school a saw Charlie and Hermes [Hermes meant to ask ChaCha where he could find a Mudkip costume for Tim for Halloweenn, but accidentally asked, "Where can I find a Mudkip?" ChaCha never replied :P]. I made two trips out to my car before going to Kathleen's house to watch The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe for our Econ project.

Then Donna, Paula, The Chaney's, Jacob, an I went to O'Charley's.

The movie and coming home were probably the most interesting parts of the day.
Besides getting cornered next to Charlie by a bug.

I came home the back way, turn a corner, and see a motorcycle in front of our mailbox.
I think, "What idiot just parked that in front of our mailbox?"
I had to make a U-turn at the stop sign to get into our driveway to avoid hitting the stupid thing before I realived:
Mom said that if we ever got a motorcycle, it would have to be small.
This is small.

I park my car and run to look at it: a Deep Purple Yamaha.
Beaten up; but it's a motorcycle.
In front of our house.
They went shopping without me?
When did they get it?
How did they drive it home without having a mototrcycle liscense?
... Why does it look like someone went mudding?

I thought the last thought again.

Mike saw me looking at it from inside through our glass door.
I ran inside wonder what they heck was going on before I tripped over a pair of muddy boots.

Michael came over.
And rode his new motorcycle over here.
Well... new to him.

Apparently it was his grandpa's, and the thing hasn't been running since 1984 [bought new in 1980], so Michael fixed it up because, well, he's Michael, and he knows how to do that sort of thing just as well as Brian does.

So...

Guess who's working on getting there motorcycle permit now? :D

The ACTUAL Thursday blog

As opposed to the fake Thursday blog...

I got really tired yesterday.

Anyway...

Government.
We did a worksheet...

Econ.
I became a business.
And lost a lot of money.

AP Calc.
I lived?

Lunch... I forgot it was a Blue day...
I can't believe how excited I was to see Emily XD

Then, we had Band.... until six.

Longest. Practice. Ever.

What a crappy Wednesday...

I guess the actually morning part went ok.

It was the going to Jazz Band part that started it all.

Luckily Seth reminded me about our homework [play a commericial jingle by ear], which I can do... just obviously not in front of my peers...

Health is so flat.
Idk.
The only interesting part was the mousetraps-in-a-box.

Then Music Theory.
First day of actual class.
I did my reading that morning,
and it really wasn't anything I didn't learn in 6th grade band.
It was a lot,
but it was 6th/7th grade band.

Then Lunch.
Chicken.
Again.

And EB.

In which my normal day dreaming was disturbed by Brent.
This was actually probably the highlight of my day.
He got Angel/Hicks to write me a pass and fill the water cart.
Yes, really.
T'was quite the adventure with brent, his charming personality, and my lack of upper body strength.

We puller the cart out to the field, went inside to practice the Star Bangled Banner Fanfare a bit, and promptly at 3:30, it started to pour.

Our efforts went to nothing.

All of band we worked on SSB, ran outside, started pouring promptly, ran inside the timy old yellow trailer in which my knee got banged up to 3x it's size, ran out, and wasted an entire practice of no one listening.

What a great Tuesday...

Wow... what a day... No, really.

In Government, we went about our normal routine, and Alex randomly chimed in, "You always seem so content with life."

I asked her what she meant, and she said simply that. I never seemed mad or upset or anything; " a 7 or an 8 on a ten point scale".

I was really shocked. Renee even said so. Most of the time... I'm pretty freakin' depressed.
Am I really doing that good of a job hiding it from everybody?

Onto Econ, I enlightened Amanda, Drew, and Kathleen on the Mike/tattoo situation.
I got out, "So apparently so far all my grades are A+'s because they're completion grades...." when Mrs. B [yes, I still don't know her name] cut me off, "That's great! You should really keep it up!"
Then I continued to add, "And if I keep it up, Mike will pay for my tattoo!"
To which Mrs. B fell silent XD

AP Calc, well... didn't eat me :D

Lunch might have, though.
Wilson's convinced that if me and him have a baby, Charlie won't notice.

Then Band.
But it was only for an hour and a half.
At first.
And it was inside :D

Then I got to take Charlie home while attempting to get Carpenter off my car XD

And I got to come home to an empty house since Mike's gone back to work :D

Then Band 6-9 was quite awesome.
It's always awesome when you can crack up laughing because the results of forgetting your dots are so comical....
And so... almost-accidentally-killing-a-few-guard-girls-ish XDDDDDDDDDDDDD

But THEN, after I got home to feed Pinky and The Brain, my awesome African Dwarf Frogs, who now know I'm their mommy, Mike has given permission to my mom to get a tattoo if my GPA is OVER 4.0

If only they had thought about bribing me with tattoos and piercings my freshmen year XD

Hugging 101

"You taking hugging 101 next semester?"
"Yeah; I'm dropping Cadet Teaching XD"

Probably one of my better first Monday's.

I waved to Chris as I walked into school and made my way to my locker, which Hermes and I have deemed useless, since I'm in the music department 24/7, and all of my belongings have made their way down there.

I sat with Charlie at my usual spot last year until kathleen and Thomas came by, then made my way to Jazz Band, which suprisingly went extremely well, since I could play 1st part with no epic problems, and I didn't have to solo. Always a plus :D

In Health I learned I my be 1 of 30 people who die in a homocide. Don't ask. Stupid game.
But then we tried to calculate how long we'd live.

Back in the music department in, gasp, Music Theory, I got to test me knowledge of Treble and Bass Clef. Guess which one was harder?

Then lunch, and good ol' EB, where I then did none of my homework, like usual.

After school was more interesting.

I walked to my locker [which is now, at this point in the time space continum, empty] and Hermes found me, and reminded me that I owed him a hugged, I packed up my stuff, we collided the wrong, so guess who's taking Hugging 101 next semester?

After that I walked with Charlie to the library, browsing through the movie section, and reminding me that my pet snail might very well be dead.
Or hibernating.
We can't really tell.

BUT

on an entirely different note,

apparently,

if I get a 4.0 GPA this semester,

Mike said he'll pay for my tattoo.

Oh, the random things that come up during dinner conversations :D

Chik-Fil-A

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vQY5MEhsWA

What a topic to start out watching on the SmartBoard in Government.

In which we did vocab, took notes, and were given a homework assignment.

Then Econ.

In which we did vocab, took notes, and were given a homework assignment.

Gov + Econ = The exact same class... all semester...

But me and Kathleen had quite the conversation in Econ.

K: "Want to work on our [movie] project together?"
Me: "Sure... What should we do?"
K: "How about Cinderella!"
Me: "I've never seen that movie..."
K + A + D: "WHAT?!?!"
Me: "Huh?"
K: "Cinderella? The Disney movie?!?"
Me: "Oh! Cinderella! Got it."
K: "What did you think I was talking about?"
Me "... Charlie... And movie education... Nevermind..."

Onto AP Calc,
I gave Mr. English a slight heart attack.
And in return,
he gave me one.

Then we had Band.

And the rest of the day, I proceeded to do nothing.

Band isn't trying to kill me at all...

More on that later.

Ahhhhh.... Day 2...

I started the day out drawing Charlie another map and trying to talk Fortuna into taking me back XD

But really, I went to Jazz band.
We went over the syllabus,
and that took the whole time.

Health.
Yeah.
That health class that I've managed to put off until now?
I'm the only senior in that class.
And the only person I know is James.
But Mrs. Lawler lightened the mood by openly admitting that we could talk about sex all we wanted, and she really wouldn't mind.

Music Theory.
In case you didn't get the subtle hint in the last entry, after my first day in AP Calc, well... nothing in this class can really scare me.
Syllabus and getting to know everyone took the entire time.
Even with 9 of us in the class.

But then came lunch and EB with Paula, and the world was at peace again.
I'm really glad I chose chocolate Pop Tarts for lunch that day.
Here's why:

Full band had practice til six on our newly seeded field.
Yay.
Tori wanted to talk to all the BLT members.
Not yay.

Most of what was said is not important to you readers, so I'll skipped to my point:

BLT members are encouraged to absain from soda and chocolate for the rest of the season to promote being fit and healthy.

... Yeah.

Mozoltov!

"But my iPods not playing Fiddler, anymore..."

Welcome to the first day of our senior year.

Here we are after our summer break.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I'm sorry; that was rude.
..."What summer break?"

My entire summer consisted of P.E., It's A Howl, Jazz band, Marching Band, Charlie, Paula, Hermes, the fair, movies, and Greece. And more band and movies.

The main idea: I'm following in Zaq Cass's footstep and blogging our senior year.

Let's get started, shall we?

After watching Mr. Beal's lovely video on the school website, I pulled into the parking lot and entered the gym on the first day, as we always do, for the last time. Of course, today is no different then it usually is from an only-Amanda-and-ten-other-kids-get-here-this-early standpoint. I dropped off my packet of info that never changes and secured a block of seats for all of us. Luckily, we all found each other XD

As I'm seated between Charlie and Carolyn while Mr. Bryant rambles on about changes to the school and the new Japanese teacher that will never compare to Sensei, I drew Charlie a pretty map of the school so he wouldn't get lost :D

Blue 1: I take the scenic route to Government.
I discover I have no friends in that class.
I also discover Mr. Bruck is quite witty.
I get a book.

Blue 2: I take the not-so-scenic route to Econ.
It's the same classroom.
I discover Kathleen, Amanda, and Drew are also in this class,
and a guy in our class slept walk at Basic Training.
I get a book.

Blue 3: AP Calculus.
Why?
We started the lesson on the first day -.-
I may or may not have failed it.
I may or may not have any friends in this class -.-
But lunch with Emily and Kathleen makes up for it, right??

Oh.

I didn't mention our half days got taken away?

Silly me.

Blue 4: Band.
What can I say?
Hornline had practice until six.
Productive, but until six.
