Yay!

Yeah...sorry for all the corny titles of my posts. lol. I can never think of a good title. haha. Well, anyway, not much happened today, except I had a dentist appointment. I know, really exciting. Well, at least all the people at the dentist I go to are really nice. :) But the reason I put "Yay!" in the title was because I didn't have any cavities again. lol
Well, today at school in driver's ed, I found out what day I'm going to be driving. You see, starting next week, we are going to start driving (yikes!), but everyone only drives once a week. The first group of people only drive on Mondays, the second group drives on Tuesday only, and so on. So the days that we don't drive, we just have sort of a study hall thing, where we have to pick a teacher to go to, and we just sit in their classroom and do homework or read. Pretty good deal I guess. :) But of course, with my luck, I got assigned to drive on Mondays! Omg, I'm going to have to practice sooo much this weekend, but luckily, I don't think Coach Hall is going to make us go out on the road or anything on the first day unless we're really experienced drivers, which of course,I am not. I have only driven in empty parking lots a few times. What's really bad though is that since we're in groups, there are going to be three other students in the car with me. And, they're going to make us drive SUVs! Those things are so big and already hard enough to drive, and with me being only 5 feet tall, that's going to make it even worse. How am I even going to be able to see in front of me? lol. Okay, well, I'll stop ranting now. haha. Coach Hall said that anytime it's raining, we won't go out and drive, so hopefully we'll get lots of showers on Monday. LOL
But besides that, the rest of school is going pretty well. Business tech is kind of boring but at least it's easy. lol. Spanish is really easy right now because we're reviewing what we learned in Spanish 1...I just hope it stays this easy! lol. And English is pretty fun. I have a pretty interesting teacher and also interesting people in the class. lol.

Hi

Yeah...well, I'm bored, so I decided to make another post. haha. Well, not much is going on. I'm really happy that I have a 3-day weekend. And get this- I have no homework! Seriously, it's the weirdest feeling ever- I got so used to studying for 3 tests in the same night and juggling a bunch of homework last semester, so yeah, this is pretty nice. :D
Well, I am absolutely freezing right now. It's only about 20 degrees outside and my dad doesn't like to have the heater cranked up too high. Winters here are so weird- for a few days, it'll be freezing like it is today, then for the next few days it'll suddenly get really warm and be about 70 degrees, then it'll get cold again, and so on. My mom is not too happy with this, as her bulbs that she has out in the front yard think that spring has arrived and start blooming, only to get killed when the cold comes back. Actually, my mom is in Florida right now visiting her parents, so I sure wish I could be there right now. lol

I'm baaaack!

Yes, it's me again! I know, everyone has probably forgotten me because I haven't been here in so long. LOL. Well, I had the craziest school schedule last semester and never had time to come on here. Well, now that's all finally over and I have a really easy semester now at school! So you can expect me to be on here more often now. :)

End of fall break :(

Well, I'm sad to say, today is my last day of fall break. :( I got this week off of school, which was really nice. I didn't really do much, except yesterday we drove to a city about 2 hours away from where we live because my mom had to take a test. She's trying to get certified to become a teacher here. While she was taking it, my dad and I walked around the huge mall next to where my mom was testing and walked around for awhile. As you can imagine, my dad was thrilled about going shopping. lol. (he and my brother are both really impatient when my mom or I are shopping for clothes). But there was nothing else to do, so I guess he didn't mind too much. It turned out to be a pretty good day, because I ended up buying some things at the mall, and my mom passed the test! Now she just has two more to take.

I'm back!

Yay! I'm back! At first I created a new account here because I lost my password, but luckily I had it e-mailed back to me, so I can stick with this account. :)
Well, quite a lot has happened. I started school recently. And this is my first year of high school! Well, I was really nervous about starting high school, mostly just because I was afraid I'd get lost. But thankfully, the grades are still pretty much in their own halls like they are in middle school, so my classes are all pretty close together! Now around here, they do something weird. In most school districts, you have A days and B days. You have four of your classes on A days, and then the other 4 on B days. But instead, here we have the same classes every day, but we have 4 of them one semester and then the other 4 next semester. It turned out really weird for me because I got almost all of my core classes this semester, and then next semester all but one of my classes will be electives! So I've been having kind of a lot of homework lately, but I try to just think how easy it's going to be next semester. :)
Well, this semester, I have history, biology, Spanish, and geometry. Next semester I'll have driver's ed/health (driver's ed for half the semester and health the other half), choir, business tech, and English. So far things are going pretty well. History is probably my favorite class. Usually it's my favorite subject. My friend is in that class and my teacher is also very interesting. lol. Biology has been good so far. We had our first test on Friday, and I think I did okay on it. lol. I was kind of worried about Spanish at first because I was afraid I would have trouble learning a foreign language, but I also had my first test in there and it turned out to be really easy! So I'm hoping it will continue to be that way. lol. And then math is the last class of the day. It's been okay so far. It's just that math has never been my best subject, nor have I ever found it interesting. lol. I always end up doing okay though, luckily. :D
Well, it was a pretty fun weekend. Yesterday I went to my friend's house for a pool party (she has a pool in her backyard). It was a lot of fun, but unfortunately I got sunburned like I do 99% of the time I do anything outside in the summer, no matter how much sunscreen I put on. But luckily it's already a lot better than it was last night, so at least it's looking like I'll recover pretty quick. :)

Back from Chicago

Well, I believe I left off with my friend coming to visit. Well, we had lots of fun!! While she was here, we went to the mall, had a birthday party for my dog (lol, he turned 2 on June 24), and we went to the Space Center. It was sad when she left. :( But the next day, we left for Chicago just to visit for a few days, since my brother is home now (he has a job so he that's why he couldn't be here for the whole summer). Well, first, we stopped in Kentucky and saw the Land Between the Lakes and stayed at a hotel in Paducah that night. Then the next day, we drove the rest of the way to Chicago. I had never been to Chicago before, but it was really cool. The first night we were there we went to the Sears Tower. They don't let you go all the way to the top, but you can still go up reeeeally high and see for miles down below. Then the next day we went to the zoo there and that night, we saw the big fireworks show downtown. And then on the last day we went on a boat tour of the Chicago River. We had a lot of fun, but I'm glad to be back home! I've been sooo busy this summer, it actually feels weird to be at home! lol

Summer

Well, not much has been going on so far this summer. I did go on a trip to North Carolina and also went to Florida to visit my grandparents. I'm really excited though because I have a friend who I haven't seen in two years coming to visit! She's getting here tomorrow! I'm sooo excited about it. Well, that's pretty much all I have to say...I know this is a really short post but I just thought I should update seeing how I haven't made an entry for a whole month. :)
