Except not really. A+ to the Wombats.
However, I am thinking of moving this to Livejournal or something. I’m not sure. I don’t have many friends on here, and it’s just weird. Whatever.
My last 2-3 days have been awesome. Friday was the last day of school, so Jacquelyn, Kaytlin, Ellen, and I went out to Hunan’s for sushi. It’s so fresh and good there, and it amazes people that there is actually sushi in this town. And I think it amazes the people in the restaurant that there are actually people in this town who eat sushi.
Not many, but a few.
Yesterday I went to my little cousins dance recital. It was really cute.
I have to go on my low-iodine diet. Which eliminates just about all of the food I usually eat. Fresh meat/fruit/vegetables. Which doesn’t sound too bad, but it gets hard when I live with four other people who eat everything else. Oh well.
I also start babysitting full time tomorrow! I guess the kids are ‘really’ excited for me to come back, so it should be fun.
Finals today were not too bad. Sociology was super easy. I felt really confident in it, and I barely had to use my notes. It was one of those tests where they ask the same question worded differently about twenty times. A lot of it was about groups and political shit, so it wasn’t too hard. Algebra was…okay. I probably failed it. There were some that I knew for sure, but others that I was just taking a shot in the dark on. However, SOMEHOW I GOT A B- IN THAT CLASS?! I handed in this extra credit thing only expecting to get 15 points or something, but he gave me 100 points.
And in AP Lang, we just played Cranium all the two hours we were in there.
Before lunch, Kaytlin runs up to us in the parking lot with this white can, and then starts spraying on my window. Before I even realized what she was doing, she was done and I had a giant W=D on my back window…HUGE W=D, it was hysterical. People were passing me and laughing.
For lunch, I went to the Bagel Stop with Amanda, Kaytlin, Jacquelyn, Ellen, Andrew, and his girlfriend. Best place to go for a cheap lunch. It was good to get out of school for a bit of extended lunch.
And of course I’m still sick. Body aches. Stuffy nose. Sore throat. 100 degree temperature. I don’t care if I’m still sick tomorrow, I’m going to go to sushi and all that. It’ll probably be my last bit of restaurant dining before I have to go on my nasty diet. I’m also going off my pills on Sunday, so yeehaw!
I finished reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer today. I still think that it resembles a fan fiction written by a sixteen year old, but I found myself getting sucked into it. Mainly because Edward is basically the epitome of a perfect boyfriend. Minus the vampire part. Now I’m reading Diary by Chuck Palahniuk, and now I only have two or three more books of his to read. Which I don’t think I will ever get Snuff as long as I’m living in this house because if my parents found a book about the gritty side of porn, I’d probably be kicked out or something equally ridiculous.
Also speaking of books, this author that is kind of in connections with Chuck Palahniuk sent me the .pdf version of his book so I can read it and interview him for the blog. It’s pretty good so far, called Anonymous. I haven’t read enough to give a plot outline, but I will sooner or later.
Last night, Kaytlin, Ellen, Carly, and myself went to the theater to see The Strangers. It wasn’t scary so to say, but there was a ton of parts that made me scream and jump. My sister took the win for loudest scream of the night. It was so loud/long and it sounded like she was the one about to be attacked. So funny. We ended the night with Mango Strawberry frutistas at Taco Bell. Delicious.
Only five more days until the end of school, and I’m so excited. I’ve got all week to make up any missing assignments I have, and believe me, I work better under pressure so it will all get done. I hope, hope, hope that I can raise my grade from a D+ to a C- by the end of the week in Algebra 2. I have my fingers crossed. I’ve also got some summaries to do in AP Lang which should only take me an hour to do. I cranked out two of them in an hour the other day, so I’ll ask Cook for a library pass to keep from getting ultimately distracted.
My bathing suit came in the mail the other day. It’s from Urban Outfitters and kind of the 40’s style I suppose wear it’s longer in the leg and whatever else. When my mom told me to get purple, I was skeptical because it looked kind of sickly on the website, but it looks really great on, and after a few trips to the gym, I should be comfortable in it. Even though it’s a one piece, I still have a hardtime feeling comfortable. I also got a dream catcher t-shirt which kind of shows my cleavage, but maybe that’s what I need to start doing.
My teeth are also getting whiter.
I bought two books today, and I’m excited to start reading them Candy Girl by Diablo Cody, and I got the first book to the Twilight series or whatever, so that should be interesting. Even though the woman working there asked if I really wanted to get the book about Diablo Cody since it’s about when she was a stripper. Whatever, haha. I love her, and she wrote one of the best movies, so her book can’t be that bad either.
Friday-Saturday morning I spent camping with Kaytlin and Megan. It was fun. Though next time, I’d like to go for a longer time and not sleep in the back of Kayt’s jeep.
Still looking for prizes for the poetry slam. It’s harder than we thought finding businesses who are willing to donate stuff for a fundraiser. We’re down to the wire, it’s on Thursday. I wrote a poem, but I think I’m going to write another one because the first one is a little more open than I’d like my first poetry slam poem to be. Especially infront of dozens of people I actually know.
I might go mini-golfing today. Yay.
I am so in the mood for this poetry slam, you have no idea. We’ve got 12+ performers, a few more prices, food donations, the most kick ass space in all of this city, and possibly a musical performer or two. I’ve downloaded some Saul Williams albums and it’s helping me write my own poem for the slam. Which I’m kind of nervous for. I’ll probably back out, I have no idea.
It’s hard being vulnerable.
We also might be getting it videotaped by this kid we know.
Megan and I were walking around to a few classes the other day to inform them, and the substitute teacher in there was like, “yeah, I’m one of the event coordinators for the Art in the Loft and I heard about that. I love poetry, and I’ll probably read something.” Even one of the principals at our school is going to do it.
Mr. Cook is finally starting to seem a little more optimistic about it, now that everything is falling into place. Which is awesome.
I might get a new camera this weekend. I don’t know. I’ve got $1,300 for my Make-A-Wish and I don’t want to buy a lot of stuff I won’t use. I’m notorious for inspirations that come and go.
David Cook should probably win American Idol, please.
