Post #64

I know it's been awhile since I've written anything! Again, I've just been kind of lazy. lol. Well, nothing that interesting has really happened since my last post. I had a pretty good Halloween. I actually didn't go trick-or-treating because there was a football game at my school that night and almost everyone wanted to go to that, so my friend that I usually go with went to that. I really can't say that I care too much about football though, so I decided to stay home and hand out candy. lol. But, the Wednesday before Halloween, I went to a Halloween party at my friend's church and we dressed up and everything. So that was fun. :) Also that week, I got to perform a skit with my peer helping class at this event, which was basically about being drug and alcohal free. That went well, and it wasn't that scary because we just performed in a small room in front of a few different groups of people at a time. All the groups were relatively small, so it wasn't like I had to do it in front of 50 thousand people or something, and plus I didn't actually have any lines so I was pretty happy about that. lol

However, tomorrow I have to perform a different skit with my peer helping class. We're having a Veteran's Day assembly, and also, our school is going to start raising money for our local hospital for cancer research. So we're going to have 3 buckets set up in the cafeteria for the next week or so, one for sophomores, one for juniors, and one for seniors. The money you put in will be donated and will help with the research, and at the same time it's going to be a contest between the three grades (I guess that's what they have to do to get everyone motivated to donate money). And apparently if you donate coins and put them in your own grade's bucket, that will count as points for your grade. If you have dollar bills, you're supposed to put it in a different grade's bucket and that will deduct points from them. So as you can see it's all a little complicated, so they decided to get the peer helpers to perform this cutesy little skit at the assembly showing everyone how it works. lol. And this time, I actually have a small speaking part, but luckily all I have to say is, "I'm putting 10 dollars in the sophomore bucket!" so I shouldn't forget my line or anything. lol. What I'm nervous about though is that we'll have to perform it on the big stage in the auditorium in front of tons of people! We're doing it three times, because the assembly will take place three times for each grade. So divide 2,000 (the total number of students in our school) by 3 and that's how many people I'll be perfoming in front of at one time. That's still a lot of people, so that's kinda scary...lol. But hopefully it'll go okay. :)

And my birthday is in 3 days!!! lol. I'm excited, because I'm finally getting an iPod for my birthday. I'm also going to have a party with my friends on Tuesday, since we get that day off from school. I'm still trying to figure out a movie we can go see though! Seriously, the beginning of November is not a good time to have a birthday if you're planning on seeing a movie. I should have either been born a month later in December when all the Christmas movies come out, or in the summer when all the really good ones seem to come out. Oh well, we'll figure something out. lol
