Sorry I haven't updated in FOREVER

Um, so......... I was in San Diego from Tuesday to Sunday. There was awesome Mexican food and we stayed with my uncle. Saw some of my parent's friends who live in LA and went to Legoland. Sadly, there weren't enough fast roller coasters there. But Annette finally tried going on them and LOVED them. Oh, and there were a TON of Westfield malls down there, so I also got to do a bit of shopping. =-D But it is sooooooo warm and humid down there. I'm glad to be in Northern CA.

I bought Eclipse a few days ago, because before San Diego I went to Barnes and Noble and my mom only let me stay for 2 hours, so of course I couldn't finish it. But anyways, my mom caught me reading it around 11 with a flashlight and it was taken away from me for 2 days. But I got it back last night and was able to finish it! =-)

And they have the second floor framing and subfloor up! And most of the roof framing. Which is really exciting, even thought my parents and I are the only ones interested in the houses progress (Eliot and Annette couldn't care less, really).

I cannot WAIT until orientation, cause then I get to see everyone! And I got my EARS PIERCED yesterday!!!!! =-D My mom's been begging me to get them pierced since I was 10. And I said I'd get it done when I turned 11, and then 12, and then 13, and when we were in a mall in San Diego we passed a Claire's and I was like, "Can I get my ears pierced?" It was totally random, but I decided I might as well get them pierced then, but my dad made me wait until we got back to the Bay Area. So now I can't take the earrings out for 2 months, and need some type of earrings to be in my ears at all times for the first 6 months. But it's kidna annoying cause I like to tug on my ears when I'm bored and (actually, I just tried to w/o thinking...)and the earrings keep scratching my hands. =-(

And in San Diego I watched HSM2 on Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday night! It was amazing, and I made my brother watch as well! I've had Every Day stuck in my head for a while now. =-) And in Claire's I a hairbrush that said "I love Troy" on the back. I need to buy it for Tacy and Veronica.

Randomness

Hi, sorry I haven't updated in FOREVER, the Internet was down all yesterday. =-(

Swimming on Thursday was GREAT because we didn't do any hard stuff- we just did drills and stuff, only 50s and we didn't need the clock, which was awesome, because I hadn't been to practice for like, two weeks before then. And yesterday the only thing we did was dryland, warm up and then we played SHARKS AND MINNOWS the entire time. It was amazing. But we had to do wall sits, and I hate wall sits. And when we were playing S&M Dave made it a rule that you could drag people up to the surface. As you can imagine (if you know how the game works) it was really quite painful because that game the guys were the Sharks. Collin, John and Juan (this weird freaky guy) all decided to show up on the same day, and it was really violent and annoying because there were only six Minnows, and all three guys would drag one person up each round. But besides that, it was really fun, cause Sydnie was there, but she had to leave early. =-(

And Ms. Chea sent out a huge email today! But it's really sad, because Ms. Chea was really nice and cool. And I kinda want school to start really soon, because I can't wait to see everyone. And I really wanna we in tons of classes with everybody, and I want to know which teachers I'm gonna have...... It's NOT fair, because my cousin in Norway gets a class list and knows which teacher he's gonna get for the next year at the end of the school year, so he gets to know all summer.

And I'm also really excited for San Diego, because the Yans are going the same week as us, and I've only seen them once in TWO YEARS (because "Auntie" Alice has been so sick and "Uncle" Jerry's dad was also really sick, and sad stuff like that) and they're really good friends, and I've known then since, forever, really. So yeah. And we recently saw the Sanders and the Tus, and it was really fun, because Leana and Alison are really good friends, and Rachel is SO BIG now (she's 8, I think).

And soooooo many people are in mission trips in Uganda now, the Chinens, the Morgans, the Barthels, FOCus people...... It's kinda sad, because a lot of my church friends are gone and stuff, and I'm gonna be in San Diego with Uncle Dave (ugh. I don't really LOVE my uncle all that much....) the week they get back. AND ECLIPSE IS COMING OUT IN TWO DAYS ON AUGUST 7!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait. The other day (because Oma decided to randomly send me a $50 gift card in the mail) I went to Barnes & Noble and bought Twilight. And a ton of girls at Westminster Woods were reading Twilight. So yeah. I'm excited. Something to look forward to. And I checked out this great book at the library, but it's really short, so I finished it really soon. I really like the writer's style of writing. (The book's The Fruit Bowl Project)

And I babysat for Keiko and Ethan on Thursday and Monday I'm babysitting a little girl on my old block. And the house passed an inspection, so they're starting to work on putting the subfloor and insulation in, and there's part of a wall up! Hopefully it'll be built soon.

Sorry this entry's just really random stuff. =-D

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.
