Well dang, hasn't it been forever since I've updated this.. I seem to say that every time but oh well. Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I just sent Dad pictures from the last few trips we went on (Mackinaw, Ludington, Indiana, and some of my car). I felt kind of bad because I talked to him like last week and he wanted to know where the pictures of my car were! It's been like 6 months since I first got my car? Oops. Anyhow.. not much has happened that is interesting since New Years. With the mix of boredom in all that nothingness I've been feeling kind of crappy lately. I feel as though I have all this art stuff yet I haven't used any of it really. With my tablet I haven't drawn anything that is of use and I don't know how to color stuff with it. And with my colored pencils I don't know what to draw so that doesn't help at all. I tried drawing a horse today and I felt pretty good about it until I looked at the completed horse on the next page of the book I was following. Ended up erasing all of it which probably wasn't the right thing to do but ugh I'm just so frustrated. On top of it Jack wouldn't shut up so finally I grabbed him out of his cage and took him downstairs to squawk. Mom wanted to know what was wrong and it's pretty much everything! Practice makes perfect I know but I'm just really frustrated, I hope I don't sound like a whinny emo kid or something. Oh and what I've been doing before today (trying to draw since semester ended) was playing Diablo II and Guild Wars. Why the sudden change? Well I was kind of motivated to draw by who knows what but I really wanted to draw and basically no one plays those games anymore so I'm all by myself. Here we go with the emo-ness again... but I'm serious.. have you ever played a game for a month or more and have no one really to do anything with on it? Tell me you don't get bored. I'm looking very forward to graduation, I hope that going to college and picking my own classes/more variety classes that I can expand my art abilities and I don't put myself down as much.
And as a side note, the weather is warming up which is a pleasent feeling. Although on Sunday the lovely iceicles on the house got all toasty and decided to fall off the ledge, slide down the roof and then onto my car. Now there's a dent about the size of my palm and a smaller one next to it near my right tailight, joy! It seems that Maple just loves getting damaged. Also Manda got the lead role in a play called, "Once upon a Mattress" aka The Princess and the Pea. But yeah, Mom said that we might be able to go and see her perform, which will be nice!

Today I was on my way to school and I was going my normal way I go to school really slow because of all the snow.. well I got to one of the stops that is sort of on a incline and there were cars coming but they were a ways away. So I tried to go but I was going super slow so I decided to wait. Well a truck pulled up behind me and I was like well ok..so the cars passed and I took my foot off the brake.. well I started sliding backwards! and I was like oh my gosh!!! So I put the brake back on.. then looked to see if I put my car in reverse, but I didn't.. was like hmm ok. I quickly tried to go forward again but I was stuck and wouldn't move so I tried moving my wheel around to see if I could get some traction or something. Meanwhile there was this kid wanting to cross the street ahead of me I'm like crap I hope he doesn't cross because my foot was pretty much down the floor on the gas (not really because that would be super dangerous but it was way down lol). But if I got traction and go 60mph I'm going to hit him and he'll die >.<..the guy behind me was probably like what a retard!!! haha...
Last week on Monday the 10th it was a pretty cool day. For our Chemistry final exam we had to go over to the Elementary school and do a presentation to the little kids about the Scientific Method. Jessica is in Mrs. Kolb's classroom and that is the one Briana and I went to. The kids loved us, we brought flash paper over and bomb bags. Did a few of those first and then lit some elements on fire to see what color they burned. I used the overhead to put down how many kids thought what element was going to burn what color and so on. Took us about 35-40 minutes? Mrs. Arnold was kind of pressing us for time but Mrs. Kolb didn't mind =]. It was kind of nerve racking but Mrs. Kolb helped keep the kids under control and it was overall fun. I'm totally glad it is done and over with though!!
I know I've said this before but Amanda is coming for Thanksgiving and I'm excited. Twilight is coming out tomorrow night at midnight but I'm not going to see it then. Going to wait until Amanda comes here =D. The plans that Mom told me was that they're coming up Thanksgiving Day around 11 a.m. and that they were going to go home on Saturday. Suuuucks! But Manda convinced Aunt Debbie to let her drive up following her and stay until Sunday, yay!!!!! It's one more day but still! I can't wait =].
Last night I stumbled upon my old journal that I wrote before I started this blog and it was fun reading some of the things I wrote about. Maybe sometime I'll put an entry on here from it or something!~

So my Mom asked me if I would want to go down to Indiana with her to go see of some of her old co-workers and friends. Of course I want to go! But not only is that sweet we can go shopping and Jessica wont be coming with us. Call me a mean sister I don't care, Jessica and I just don't get along for long periods of time. Maybe once she gets over her 'I'm a little Princess and can do whatever I want' attitude then maybe we can bond better, until then no. But the whole reason behind going to Indiana besides to see friends and whatever is to go see one of Mom's co-workers, Anna dell. Anna dell worked with Mom for along time and apparently she is dieing of liver cancer. I feel so bad for her and Mom. Other than the sad moments it should be overall fun just taking a road trip with Mom, just us two alone.
School is going alright, Got information on cap and gowns today, what fun(boring). I made a pimp-butt brochure for Chemistry class for the PRMP project, I love it. Studio art has gotten boring because I have no inspiration like what so ever. Advanced IT is majorly boring, this whole week we did nothing. I mean it is completely lame she is making us do HTML. Honestly why do I care? I dont. I rather do Photoshop but nooooooo we did that in Intro IT(our class didn't), pisses me off.
In other news... I can finally eat hard foods now, yay!! I stopped using the rinse and stuff but lately my mouth has been hurting a little so I'm not sure if I should start rising again. I'm totally excited because The Twilight Movie is coming out on the 21st!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that I can go see it if they have a midnight viewing =].

Today was the Powder Puff game and I was pondering if I wanted to go or not. Considering that I've never been to a Powder Puff game made me decide to go. It's my Senior year and I hope to do everything possible like games and such. I'm not going to the Homecoming dance though, I went my Freshmen year? and it was boring none the less. Hopefully though I can get Mike to go to the Homecoming game with me... Ok so I was a bit nervous about parking because I normally park on the West-side of the South parking lot near the exit so that way I have an easy time of getting out. I ended up parking on the East-side of the South parking lot because it is much closer to the football field. Corbin Lott pulled up next to me and so we chatted for awhile, he was going to the basketball game I guess. I made my way over to the field and when I was about there it had started to sprinkle a little bit, I thought..oh great. Also I was a little disappointed that I had forgotten my camera at home, I wanted to get some pictures argh! Oh well so I walked up to the gates, well it didn't look like anyone was at the ticket booths, I automatically thought, "Huh I guess it's free" well as I went into the gates I seen some boxes of canned foods and then I realized that they take canned food donations as kind of your entry. Ryan(Junior) handed me a pamphlet and didn't even say anything about me not having a canned food, phew! I felt kind of bad though that I forgot, guess I could of donated a dollar or something since I thought I had to pay. I went into the bleachers and looked for someone that I recognized so that I could hang out with them. The first person I spotted was Tyler Ackerman. I went and sat by him for a little while and then he left to go get some hot chocolate. I spotted Brittany's parents so I went and sat by them, lucky me I got to sit on a blanket so my butt wasn't as cold =D! We chatted a little and watched the game. It was hilarious watching the guys that were cheerleaders being stupid. At halftime Heather and Brittany came up and sat with us, they were in short shorts and lemme tell you, it was freeeeeezing! We won of course and then the after party they had a bonfire. Although it was half burned out because they lit it 2 minutes before the game even ended. We did some pep rally stuff and warmed up by the fire then went to go get some free cider and a donut, yum yum. After that we left, Britt went with Heather and I walked back to my car (I need the exercise). I absolutely loooove driving, I had my Ipod and I cranked up some music, gotta rock out you know!
School is going alright I suppose, I'm a little bummed out that Amanda isn't coming for Halloween. Another holiday by myself..Aunt Debbie is thinking about coming for Thanksgiving (its about time). Chemistry is going alright, we tested the water samples for the Pine River Monitoring Project today, Briana and I tested for chloride. Art is going good, Stephanie is great as ever and just pops stuff out of her head. I'm now working on this fox thing which looks really good for what I've done. Advance IT is incredibly boring right now...we're working in HTML and it is that kind of work that is just brainless work. It is kind of fun but there is no thinking involved, you get to the test though and it is like..where did this come from? Co-op is fine also, Mom is wondering why I'm getting less hours than Meredith though because I'm on Co-op. I don't know, its nice to not work but I do need a little bit more hours.
I only worked until 5:30 today which was fine for me, I was getting a headache. It was cool because Brian wanted me to type up Order slips for books. About a week ago I typed some up but this time I had to program the typewriter myself. I'm weird I know, but it's something new for me so I finally figured out how to get it so I am able to do it effectively. I thought I was getting so good that in once instance I thought I was going to press 'Play' and then '1' so that the typewriter does what I programed it to do, well instead I pressed the 'Delete' and then '1'. So...I deleted what I had programed, nooooo!!!! Oh well I just had to start over and reprogram it. Tomorrow I'll probably have to reprogram it again so I can type up another order. Call me weird but I loooove typing, give me something to type and I'll do it. Although sometimes it is quite annoying when I can't read what is writen and so I have to go look it up, ugh! That's about all the excitement for the day~

Today nothing major happened, I just felt like writing a blog. Coming home early is nice and I love having a whole hour to just relax before work, or even just have the rest of the day off. Well Mrs. Wheeler still isn't back but we did actually have work to do today. We also had a Senior Class meeting and nominated people to be on the King and Queen's court. Here is who all got nominated:
King's Court
Tom Finn
Blake Friend
Luke Kanine
Kyle Lark
Evan Patton
Queen's Court
Mallary Anthony
Lisa Frasco
Araina Lorretto
Jean Mosey
Sage Wimmer
Ellen Yates
When I got home from school Mom was there and while I was eating my turkey and cheese sandwich Jack was being noisy some what. I was starting to get a headache and with him squawking I didn't feel like hearing it. I told him to shut up but he doesn't know what that means so it didn't work. Mom started talking about how she's been thinking that maybe we should sell Jack because anymore I seem to get annoyed by him, which is true. I love playing with him when he is quiet and such but when I get home and that's all I hear is him squawking I don't even want to play with him. She went on about how we could put an Ad in the paper and whatnot or even see if this Culligan man that Deb (lady who took care of Jack while on vacation) knows would want to buy him since he apparently has been wanting a Quaker. I just don't know, I like Jack I just wish that he wouldn't be so noisy I mean sure I can't expect him to be quiet all the time, he's a bird and thats how they communicate. Its just I don't know how to make it better without selling him. I'm going to see if spending more time with him will help. Now this wont be too easy on the nights that I work but I'm going to try to do it and see if maybe he becomes more friendly and quieter.

Woot for Seniors of 2009!!!!! Today was the first day of school and I got to drive to school, eep! It was a bit nerve racking but I did well. I found a pretty easy parking spot too (love our new parking lot!!!). I ended up finding out that my Studio Art and Culinary Arts classes switched, which sucked because I was looking forward to Studio Art in second semester. I had Chem first and that was alright I have at least some people that wouldn't mind being my partner. Studio Art was next and it's pretty cool because Stephanie is in my class, she is really good at art I envy her, haha. Heather and Lindsey is in there too!!! We worked on our folders and I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with it, none of us did. Went to Advanced IT after that and found out that Mrs. Wheelers husband died on Labor Day. It's really sad, so she wont be back until Monday I guess. We just basically worked for 10 mins and then the rest of the hour played games (Unreal Tournament). I ended up eating lunch at school because I wasn't sure what to do for 4th block. It ended up that I just had to get a timesheet to fill out and then I left, was nice because I thought I had to try to pull out of the parking lot with all the traffic. By the time I got home I had worked up a headache and so I took a nap until dinner. It was an alright day, not a whole lot excited about going back to school but I do say that this year should be way less stressful than last year. Because I'll have extra time on days that I don't work to do homework.

Plain and easy, end of the semester exams. I only had one but it was Math, about the worst subject on the whole planet. I'm interested to see how my grade turns out, I believe I got a C last marking period and a B- this marking period but with the midterm and final exam I'm not so sure. It's a relief to not have math ever again in high school! What's stupid is that we only had two classes today, our first block and second but we had them for three hours each. BORING. I exempted out of my second block which I'm so glad, I probably would of had a hard time on it like I did math. Out of the whole 50 questions I'd say that I knew maybe, for sure, 10-15. Doesn't look so good I hope he puts a curve on it =]. So after math I got to go home where I relaxed till it was time to go to work at 3:30. Work was ok but it bites because not even going through one full day with my pedometer I had lost it from sometime between going from my 4th block to the car. I might end up buying one if they're cheap, meh. Anyways going back to the stupid three hour classes. It's so lame because all the teachers I have (except math) don't even really use the hour and a half set aside for whatever. So we're all just wasting our time sitting there bored.
I found out today at work that I had gotten a raise. More or less I think minimum wage just went up so it wasn't just me individually, no matter it's still a raise =D, it's something like $7.60/hour or something. I also had gotten a letter in the mail saying that because I filed taxes that I "qualify" for the stimulus check totally a grand, $300! Still can't wait until Hooray!

I'm not going to say that all sports are overrated because a lot of them are overshadowed by the main sports, which are taken too seriously. Yeah I'm sure some people would be all pissed because it's bashing their sport but guess what, I don't care. Don't get me wrong, sports are good for exercise and stuff but the thing I believe is that a lot of kids would love to play in sports if they had a choice of what they wanted to do in it. I'm not quite sure where I'm going in this but just try to go along with it. See I love playing tennis, volleyball, and badminton. But of course if you aren't as good as all the rest of the preppy girls then its not fun playing on a court with people who don't like you as much because you aren't popular. Also It's just not those sports it's cheer leading and cheer. Theres a few unpopular girls I know that talked about wanting to join and talked to one of the girls in that sport and right after they got done talking the girl went and made 'yeah right' type of looks and started laughing with her friends. It's just full of drama is all it is.
"Sport - Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively." Which basically says anyone can create a sport which seems cool and all if the sport is fun to play and other people enjoy it. But what would happen if lets say an unpopular kid created a sport and them self and their friends started playing and word got around. I'm almost 99% sure if it was something considered stupid the person would be labeled as a "geek/nerd/___" you fill in the blank.
