I got into the play! YEAH!!! That rocks!! I'm not impressed with the director, but it's a play, and I can learn something. It's going to murder keeping up with the schedule though. It starts an hour after school ends, so I still have time for my clubs. I think I'm trying to kill myself subconsiously with this.

Gotta run--my library time is going to expire in a few seconds.

Okay, it's once again been a while since I've posted, so I want to update the boring events of my so called life. I will, however, attempt to keep it breif.

I'm seventeen now. Rock on. I got a digital camera for my birthday, which is way too much fun. I killed the batteries that came with it on the first day, so I just went out and bought a bunch of good batteries so I can play some more. I'm going to try and post some pics on my blog sometime, but I don't know when I'll have time.

I'm getting all my clubs started up. Poor Mr. Allen--he just can't say no. He's doing three clubs, Master's program (I think), and some sort of associate principal thing. He's like me, in teacher form. Oh well, Youth Legislature should be fun. That reminds me, I need to email the program coordinater to see how I can get my Y&G buddies who are no longer in the program, strictly speaking, to be allowed to come on the trip. I have so many calls to make....

Dr. Briddon, the AP European History teacher, is actually English, so I'm going to have an awesome accent by the end of the year. That's so fun.

I tried to take a picture of a guy cleaning the McDonald's sign. Just for kicks and giggles, but my camera was being weird and didn't work, so when I set it down to see what was wrong it took a picture of my leg. Funky. It was so strange I'm not sure I want to delete it yet.

OH YEAH!!! Before I went to the library I was up at Safeway, and when I bought my batteries, I got two quarters as part of my change, which I then HAD to use in the claw machine. I haven't won in years, but I used to be extremely good at it. I WON A WATCH!! YAY!! That rocks so hard. It's cheap and crappy, but kinda cute. That made my day.

And, finally, I'm thinking about arranging a reunion for my 5/6 split Excel class, since the former sixth graders are graduating this year. It's a pretty big time commitment, I know, so I'm sort of putting it off, but I've been running into a lot of old classmates recently and I'll probably make them help me.

Hope it wasn't torturously long. I'm off to do homework.

Quick post

Sore again. I carried my mountain bike for about a mile. Trust me, it's tough to find a good way to carry a bike that size. I had to do it, I didn't just decide to random carry my bike, although that probably wouldn't surprise anybody too violently. My tire went suddenly and extremely flat, and began coming apart. It wouldn't even roll. I was halfway between Grandma's house and mine, so I just carried it the rest of the way. Probably could have called for a ride, but then I wouldn't know for sure I could carry my bike for a mile! That's quite a birthday present, isn't it?

Finished my Great Gatsby report. It's pretty good--both the book and the report. Now I still need to bs some notes on another book. I'm just going to cop out and use poetry instead of a real book, because my teacher foolishly forgot to specify a quantity!! Mwahahaha!!

School starts tomorrow. That sucks.

Ow ow ow ow OW!!!! I am sooo sore.... I went to Wild Waves up in Tacoma yesterday. Aside from hiking up stairs all day, I went on the River Thunder ride 13 times. It's not really a ride, you go down on an innertube and it's like a river...sort of... You really have to fight the current in places, anyway. Enough to make me sore today. I was so tired when I got home around 9, I wanted to go straight to bed and I probably would have if I didn't want to watch Conan. I think I'll have to sacrifice it tonight because I'm still beat.

To top it off, I slept through Freshman Orientation this morning, which I was supposed to be helping with. Oops. On the plus side, I'm only sunburned a little bit in a few places, and for the first time I have a tan on my tummy! Yeah, I'm sure you cared.
