Swim Practice

No SCHOOL TODAY!! It was AWESOME.


Went to practice today. Amanda and George's birthdays were passed recently, so we forced them to jump into the pool and swim a lap. Fully clothed, shoes, jackets, all that sort of jazz (Gator/Gaucho tradition). Amanda, poor girl, hadn't changed into her suit under her clothes before she jumped in, so she had to change back into her soaking clothes after practice. And George.... is annoying. Cal and Jerry said that I didn't have to jump in. =-)

And today George brought three REALLY cute dwarf hamsters (the ECHS biology labs have some, and George volunteered to take care of them for a week, and as Colter said, 'Poor hamsters. Having to put up with George for a week.') And they were soooooooooooooo soft and I held one for a second.

And the grossest part of today was that Remy tried to hit on me. It was really gross and Andrew and Colin said they'd strangle him in the locker rooms. Might a sideaffect of him not taking his medication for a while (I'm joking, of course, but he was a bit off today... jumping up and down, shrieking, screaming illegible things, splashing Holly, Danielle and I more than often.)

Happy Birthday Shing!!!!!!!!

It's Shing's birthday today!!!!!!!! =-] And because she's a day older than me, my birthday's tomorrow! And I can't wait!! Cliffy-diffy (excuse the childish nickname for one of my very favorite uncles) emailed me a pic of Jess. =-D She's so much bigger than last time I saw her. And recovering well, which is totally fabulous, of course. She's happy and healthy. (Jess is Cliff's dog; she had cancer and at one point they were considering amputating one of her legs. Luckily Ciffy's a vet.......)

Track people ran a lap at lunch today. The ironic thing is that I dragged Sydney out there, and she grumbled almost the whole time about how she couldn't eat, and then when we DID eat, she wasn't hungry!! Grr. Then Melissa practically JUMPED me (repetitively) for my water bottle..... she was pretty scary, actually. I'd tickle her, she'd let go, then make a grab for the water bottle again.

NO SCHOOL MONDAY! Yes!!!!!!! So so so so so happy and excited and hyper.....

Listening to Relient K. I really love bed, Give Until There's Nothing Left, Up and Up, and Come Right Out and Say It. Give Until There's Nothing Less and Come Right Out and Say It are my new theme songs.

I finished my Science homework, and I'll probably do the EC Japan crossword...... And we have that pretty stupid poem to translate for Spanish (it's called "The Bellybutton of the Moon". Yeah, it's a pretty stupid title of a poem.

New Layout

Ok, so I know Sydney loves the new layout, but tell me what you think! And I need a better blog title, mine's pretty lame right now.......


Can you believe that Gabe doesn't know what "clique" means?! Grace, Kenny, and I were talking about stuff during Spanish and Gabe was like, "Dude, what are you talking about? Why won't you tell me? Just because you're Asian doesn't mean that you can't tell me. You guys are so racist!"
And I said, "No, we're not racist, we're cliquish."
And then he asked me what a clique was! He had to ask Kristel....


Doing silly outline for Japan Report. And I added tons of new stuff to my blog stuff.... =-) I really like the new layout.


And Scott Westerfeld has a new book coming out soon!!!! And Max Ride 3's coming out soon, and ECLIPSE!!! Not to mention HPDH in July. Summer is such a happy summer [I usually prefer Winter, but this summer is going v.v.v. happy.] Also, I'm signed up for a writing camp this summer @ AMS sponsored by UC Berkeley, for three weeks. I'm so totally excited, cuz I just love to write.... as most of you know.


Hawk Nelson is coming to Modesto on August 28!!!!!!!!!! And my b-day is really very soon. I think I'm becoming more of a Relient K freak now. Their new album came out in March, and I was totally obsessed fifth grade-December of 2006. The song "Forgiven" on the new album is one of their best songs!!!!!

I went to swim practice today, and I was so tired I felt like fainting halfway through. I really didn't feel like swimming today, but there's no practice tomorrow because there's a meet there and I really don't wanna time for them, and Thursday's TAKE YOUR KID TO WORK DAY, so I won't be at school then. It's also Open House, and I actually quite surprised that the teachers have barely mentioned it, in Cornell and last year the teachers were going insane over getting ready for it. Some of them haven't even mentioned it.

Clusty.com is awesome!!!!!

And if any of you know what it is before you go and type the URL into the browser you get 1,000,000 bonus points.

We get DONUTS tomorrow in History/English! Because people in my class voted of donuts instead of pizza, but Ms. Chea wouldn't let us go on a field trip to El Cerrito Plaza... =-( I don't really adore donuts; they're OK, but apparently everybody else in my class save a select few prefer donuts over bagels.

And I know who Grace likes!! =-) And I'm not going to tell, so Grace can stop stressing over anybody finding out. I think Kenny gave her a heart attack when he said he knew (he didn't).

Boooooooorrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeddddddd. I really the Japan Report, it's so annoying. And the Knife Fight is sooo funny. Thank gosh for Clusty.com, it makes researching so much easier.

Modesto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Modesto soon!!!!!!! I am sooooo soooooo soooo sooo soo HYPER right now! And I'm bouncing in the chair and I think I drank too much soda....... Plus it *RAINED* this morning. I *lurve* rain. But it's not raining now. =-[ I also love cold weather........ and windy weather, and snow. That's why I love NZ and Sweden.

Doesn't help that I'm listening to Superchic[k]'s Anthem which is loud and bouncy and loud. I think I packed like, way more clothes than I'll need, I mean, we're going for 4 days, but I've packed at least two more shirts than I need=-). And I keep on thinking that I haven't packed enough. But that's just me. And we might be painting again, so I'll need the other clothes...... I've been racking my brain for ANYTHING that I might need. Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Do I need anything else? ::sighs:: I worry too much about things like this.

Now listening to Hero by Superchic[k], and it's really depressing me, which is weird, because I'm still bouncing like crazy and humming random tunes, but I'm still sad.

Easter/Modesto

I wore a pink skirt and jacket-thingy on Easter. Yes, pink. Thank goodness for the white shirt, or else I'd've been ALL pink! ::Shudders:: The outfit was pretty cute (yes, Jenna, I agree with you on that.....) But I was wearing it! Anyways, it was only one day. And a couple million pictures.... ugh. Pictures. Evidence.

And turns out that Cole, Peter, and Jack are going, and possibly Taylor. To Modesto. I'm praying that Abby, not Peter, is the one going, but maybe both. It's not gonna be all that fun if Catherine and those 8th grade guys go. But I guess I'll live. But it'll be FUN. !!

On a HAPPY note, TODAY'S SYDNEY'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! Yay!! And mine's in 18 days. So I'm really happy and bouncy. But I have to go to swimming, and that's not very fun. Because I don't think Holly or Laura is going........ Wait! It's BREAK! Yay. So maybe Laura'll be there. And I need to talk to Colin about Remy's "girlfriend".

And I got Presidental!! Pretty surprised I made it on the Shuttle Run and Push-Ups. I hate push ups. Really really hate hate hate hate them.

MODESTO!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Yay!! Minimum day tomorrow, we get out at 12:30! Yesssssssss!!!!!!!!!! I'm slightly hyper right now (I ate too much red bell pepper). Can't wait for MODESTO! =-D SO so so so so so happy!!! And I'm listening to Krystal Meyers, which might be contributing to the hyperness. Wiat ---------------- Friday's GOOD FRIDAY! But I really don't see how it's GOOD. Well, then again I can.


So, anyways, here's who is going to Modesto [that I know of, or am pretty certain]:


Jennabennabear


Lucy


Lesly (duh duh duh)


Joanne (duh)


Larissa (she better go, it wouldn't be fun w/o her)


Mat Grover (again, duh)
Amy Grover (not sure)


Noelle (possibly)


Liam :-|


Lexie


Bailey


Rachel L (sadly, most likely)


Catherine R-T (praying she won't, can't see the working)


Hmm.......who else??!


Maybe Sam L will go...... eeeeeewwwwwwwww. Nope not.


Cole (no no no no please no!!!)


Peter (not likely, probably off in Costa Rica like last year...)


Taylor (if he isn't off in Costa Rica w/ Peter, his family's into that sort of thing [his dad is, at least])


Grace-- nooooo!!!!!! No no no no no no no! They must NOT allow it!! The ty bimbo( even though she's not , and she picked a really shade of red-orange to dye her hair. It's just-- ::shudders:: Ew. She won't do ANYTHING, she'll just sit and flirt all day. Ugh. )


Alexis (hopefully =-) )


Embrys [both] (them, Liam, Sam, and hammers. Oh no. ::groans and prays it will not happen::)

And some other leaders and people. La la la la la.


On another note......


EASTER IS THIS SUNDAY!!!!!!! Yay yay. Like, the only time in the year I wear a dress. My dress this year is PRETTY. (yeah, I know, Joanne's gonna wear a dress OMG) Actually, I do occasionally wear dresses, to weddings and stuff...... I think last year I wore a skirt, yeah. I did.


Right now I'm typing my story for Science. It's pretty cool, actually. The main character's name is Potizo (Greek for water.....he's a water molecule). Potizo is just such a fun name, I should actually put that in the name suggestion box or Ms. Keopp's baby. Or not.


Gotta redo Shuttle Run w/ Sydney and Rachel WW tomorrow. Fun.

La!

Yes, everyone, I know I'm a total HN freak, but they're awesome! And their new single is on iTunes. =-) Yay.

But oh gosh, we watch WAY too many boring videos in Health that show the same footage. It's boring and annoying. And I really hate Fitness Testing. It's annoying, and Mr. Gann made me stop doing curl-ups because I was on 70 and it was enough. We never got weighed and measured.... Love Barlowgirl too, and Tobymac. Been listening to them way too much lately.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! The MMT (Modesto Mission Trip) is coming up and it's gonna be SO MUCH FUN!! And I hope we get to tear down more houses this time. =-D But alas, Catherine is going too. Fun. Fun. Gonna be so much fun (more if she wasn't going). Yes, I know it's mean, but I just can't imagine the girl actually WORKING and HELPING PEOPLE, or doing anything productive. And she's way too clingy, and failing all her classes in school... and whines about soccer.

Oh my -- we have WAY too much work this week! I can't procrastinate! We have that poster for math; Create a Creature, but I did a lot of the work in class today; had a test yesterday, and had a math test/quiz today, and something else..... oh yes. That Character Kimono. Too much work.
