First day of HIGHSCHOOL

Hey! Ok, I'm really happy-hyper right now, so warning: extreme randomness may occur. This is probably going to be a long post, so if you don't read it all and just post a comment like "Gee. Great post. Thanks for sharing." I'll know you didn't read it all, but that's ok, because it's long. *stops rambling* Let me shtart from teh begginning: {yes, I meant to spell de vords vike dat}

I had a dream last night that for some strange reason I was late for the first day of school, and I got there at the nick of time and had to get the worst seat. For some reason, when I look back and try to remember what that was, the only thing that comes to mind is a seat in the front of the class squished between two suma wrestlers....that's a little weird....

So this morning I got up and answered like three texts {I missed Marial's wake up call because my phone was on vibrate~ HA!!!!} and soon we were on the way to school. We being myself, my dad who was driving, and our carpool person. I glance at the car's time and it reads 7:56 when we pull into the school's parking lot, which means we didn't have to run. However, we were still late and I STILL got a front-ish seat! AHH! But anyway, it was good being back with my peeps. We were all excited and wouldn't shut up. It's funny, because later this week, we'll probably be like "Uhhhhh....school......." but now we're all hyper. :D

When we got there, we went to the auditorium for a brief intro or whatever then we got our books for Spanish with our homeroom teacher. OOHH!!! Our room is the senior room, so we have LOCKERS! The only downside is we don't have our combos yet so whenever we closed them we realized we need to get a teacher to go open em again. :D See, this day we didn't DO anything really except for get our books and schedules and everything like that. Ok, then we went to um um um...oh! Health and Biology! Which is with Mrs. C from last year. They're back-to-back classes in the same class room. Then we went to ... hm .... where did we go after that? I really don't want to get up to look at my schedule...

I think we had lunch next. Ok, so we're officially highschoolers now, so we can sit outside on the deck. BOOYAH! We're all excited and everything, so we get our lunch boxes and food stuffs, open the door, and step outside to be blasted back by a wave of heat. Halfway into lunch we discovered sitting under the sun in black shirts when it's 96 degrees isn't a good idea and so we used our new roaming privileges.

We visited a few of our fellow highschoolers' rooms and eventually I stuck with a senior and my friend DJ. I had pulled this little crossword puzzle thing from her purse and was working furiously to figure it out as they walked around the deck, up to the office, and back again with me in tow. Soon the bell rang and the senior left and DJ went to advanced math.

Wait...I wasn't in advanced math....I was in Geography...I blinked and stared at my schedule, then had to ask someone for help, and we both glared at the schedule. The schedule claimed that Geography was in the advanced math class room at this time...but that couldn't be right....so where was I going? Eventually we figured out that we were reading the schedule wrong and I was in the class next door. I walked in to the cries of my last name {my nickname} and laughter. :D LOL!! It was so funny. I had to explain that I had gotten lost in my own school that I've been attending for - what - seven years? No. Nine years. {why did I say seven?} To make matters worse, the class was GEOGRAPHY...where you learn about maps....which help you NOT TO GET LOST. Lol, it was hilarious. :D Anyway...

Then came Algebra 1. Now. We had taken the first half of this book last year. A nice pace for me. Half a lesson each day. I'm slow in math...that was refreshingly helpful. Now our favorite math teacher has left *sobs* {we scared her away....} and we find out we're doing the whole book! All of it! Starting at the BEGINNING! Why? Because of some smart 8th graders who are taking the class. *banging head* ARG! Why they gotta be so smart, huh? I wasn't this smart...they shouldn't be. {jk} Anyway...we did little easy lesson one {just for that I'll probably miss like 5}, which she assigned odds to. Halfway through her lecture, when we were all working ahead, my friend who came back this year whose last year was 5th grade asks me for help on question 10.

"Uh...Garbanzo bean...we're doing odds," I said, as we bursted out laughing and immediately hid our faces, trying to duck our heads behind the people in front of us. lol! Poor bean...but I had started doing all of them too...so....yeah...what came next....?

OH! English came next! And the teacher doesn't seem that bad after all. Sure, I say that now...
I found out that summer reading wasn't actually REQUIRED and I did all that work for almost nothing! I SPEND LIKE THREE DAYS OF MY VACATION ON THAT!! ARG! So...I'm not sure how it's all going to work....about the reading...but anyway...mo...

Then was Study Hall. Good ol' study hall. I think this is the period when some days we'll be taking electives...but we haven't gotten that far yet...soooooo then we all went to the pick up lines, I hitch-hiked with some goober who took me to some place where I went through lots of pain. Oh, the goober is a highschooler from school, that place was the gym, and lots of pain would be the two-thirds of a mile that we ran, which was sad because that means we're out-of-shape; we can usually run a mile.

Ok...so...that was my first day of high school and I think it went rather well. I'm so looking forward to this year! AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh man! Oh man! I can't wait! WOOHOO! All my friends, all the activities....I LOVE MY SCHOOL!! :D Ok, so all y'all who haven't blogged bout starting back, you should. Chair...that means you. Seriously. How was it?!! And um...oh yeah. Thanks for reading this horribly long and most likely boring post all the way through. :D

School starts tomorrow

Well...I'm not sure how to feel. School starts tomorrow. I'm kind of excited for multiple reasons, one of them being we have like 4 new people in our class and one girl that's coming back from 5th grade. :D I can't wait to meet them! I'm also excited about just being in High School. Lunch on the deck, Student Council, Fish Camp, pranks that we'll create that will go down in history...I can't wait! But on the down side, we have a teacher that everyone says is reallllyyyyyyy hard. She scares me. So we'll see how that goes.

Hmmmm....what else.....Oh! We had volleyball tournaments Friday and Saturday. We lost all our matches, but won two games. Somehow the scoring is different and we still lost, but I'm so excited for this year!!! I can't wait to play more! We have a game Thursday and a tourny this weekend...weeee....

Ok. Now then. I think there's some tag that I'm supposed to be doing. Something about summer...but...I really don't have many priorities....I guess....but here I go! *plunging into memories*

My top Summer Memories/Favorite Summer Experiences:

10. Uuuuhhh....blogging....yeah....
9. Writing, I think.
8. Bonding with my friends and having lots of summer sleepovers and parties. :D
7. Working out at the gym with Marial and D {ouch...}
6. Going to the Bible Studies with Chair and holding my favorite baby in the whole wide world...

4. Chilling and not having to go anywhere or do anything for a while
3. Volleyball practice
2. Vacation!!
1. Hanging out with all my blogging and real life friends. Meeting all you guys in person, definitely. That will be a memory I will always hold on to, and possibly laugh at... ;)

I hope y'all are happy. Well...there will most likely be a post about the first day of school tomorrow...

Btw, Render, Flint had a really good idea: You should be multi-render orders food @ Micky-D's!! {That's McDonald's...for all you slow people like me out there...}

Well...Ciao and have good days!!

Abduction

Aka, one of the most fun days of my life. Seriously. Let me paint you the beginning scenario:

Marial, D, and I are innocently sitting around my kitchen table after volleyball practice, laughing and being ourselves, when all of a sudden, two crazy weirdos with umbrellas jump out of my living room and state in disguised voices, "You're coming with us!" We blink, taking a moment to process the figures clad in black with sunglasses, hats, and bandanas over their faces. Then we burst out laughing. Dad snaps some pictures. Soon our arms are tied behind our backs and we're blindfolded. We're led swiftly through the door and into a car. Well...not swiftly. When you're blindfolded, you tend to stumble more...anyway... If this is what abduction is like, I'll gladly be kidnapped by them any day!

Throughout the whole car ride, we three chat like crazy, probably annoying our captors who still refuse to talk. We design the car we're riding in, wonder where we're going, and soon we've figured out that our captors are two seniors {my favorite two!} from our school. Marial had an uncanny nose that can sniff out anyone. We're still laughing and grinning behind the bandanas when 30 minutes later they pull the car to a stop and lead us out. I didn't have my shoes on, so they tried to get me to wear flats, but I couldn't walk in those so they gave up. They led us over concrete, not too carefully {poor D has a cut on her leg from when she didn't hear them say "step"}, and eventually the blindfold slipped and I saw a huge building and parking lot.

"You guys, I have no idea where we are!" I exclaimed. Then...they got in trouble with mall security and had to untie us. We were at the mall. We met up with all the girls from the ninth grade and senior class inside, then went to a different mall. We talked a bit about how long they had planned this and I eventually found some shoes, but they didn't tell us anything about the rest of the day. Arg. How frustrating. We got to the other mall and they told us we were going on a scavenger hunt. YEA! We got into teams with lists and bags and set out on an adventure.

Can you imagine groups of high school girls running rampid in the mall, unsupervised? Yeah. That was us. It was CRAZY!!!! {I usually don't like going to malls, but we weren't shopping}. My group finished the scavenger hunt and met up with the others, who had also finished everything on the list. Piling back into our cars, we went to one of their houses and hung out, playing a game or two and eating all their food. They had this dip stuff for carrots and chips called "veggie wedgie" and it was SOOO GOOODDDD! I think they had to add the sour cream to it, though. One senior had gummy worms and all the ones she didn't want were given to me. Yum!! Forgetting about swimming, we talked and played an M&M getting-to-know-you type of game, then glanced at the clock and got dressed for dinner.

They were going to take us to Cheesecake factory!!! Ahhhh!!! We were really happy and excited, but then we got there...and they told us an hour or hour-and-a-half wait. Psh! Scratch that! We went to TGI Friday's instead. I had a Chicken Caesar salad and some other stuff from my neighbors...you know....extra fries that would deteriorate and go to waste if someone didn't eat them. Then we called our parents and had them pick us up. It was SOOO MUCH FUN! I love our seniors! Our seniors are AWESOME! I can't even express their awesomeness. They're so much fun to just be around, you know? I hope we're crazy like that when we're seniors.

It's a tradition now. Every class that gets kidnapped has to kidnap someone else. *evil grin* So when I'm a senior, all those li'l fishies better watch their tails!! The sharks will devour them!...then take them on a surprise day of fun. :D Oh my goodness....yesterday was so awesome. It was completely insane. I love our class, I love the seniors, and I love veggie wedgie dip. G'night, everybody, and watch out for ninjas with umbrellas! {They couldn't find their toy guns. :D}

School's OUT!

School's out!! I feel like running and jumpng and singing and laughing and and and and weee! *Singing High School Musical* Juuuuuust kidding! High school musical is one of those movies that after you've seen it once {and believe me, I've seen it a BILLION times}, you get tired of it. So we got out of school last wednesday. "Marial" and I had a good time. We went ice skating. I fell alot. That was sooo fun! I like going fast and then attempting to do something cool...so you fall....and then you laugh about it. That's fun. Still recovering from blisters and bruises.

We also watched 4 episodes of Dr. Who....and she fell asleep first....and I was hallucinating and imigining things at night...creepy....but I like Dr. Who. The new ones. Never seen the old ones. I'll have to see them some time. Hm...what else did we do? We played a bit of volleyball. That was fun.

Btw, we graduated from middle school! *jumping into the air* Yeaaaa! The graduation was kind of cool, in a way, but it had a sad aftertaste, like a lemon drop gone bad. After the ceremony was over, we all said good bye. Some people are going to different high schools, which made everyone kind of sad. We're all really close, like one big family. But more than that. I was so happy school was over, but yet, in a way, knowing I wouldn't see most of my friends for like 3 months and knowing I might not see the ones that are going to other schools....it made me feel empty...yet happy...I don't know how to describe it. Just....satisfied? I'm glad this year is over. I've learned a lot and I {hopefully} have matured a bit. I wish I had hugged more people. :(

After graduation, Marial, D, Des, their parents, my dad, and our coaches all met up and had lunch at Olive Garden. That was fun. We had some laughs and made plans to get together some over the summer. I think I'm officially a fish {freshman} now. There you have it. Bottom of the food chain. I think that's all I have to say for now.

Have fun wherever y'all are!
