California

Today we drove into California. I got to listen to my new music I got and slept a little bit. When I got here I played piano, played with the dog, saw a bunch of my family, showed everyone my permit, climbed a tree, and ate Chinese food. So far things are starting out good. :)

I like this new blog design.

Permit

School got out on Tuesday. :) I'm sooo happy. After school I went and hung out downtown with Annie for a few hours. I got home by riding on the back of my uncle's motorcycle! Then we had our annual sundaes for dinner with a bunch of my friends. Then we got ready for the dance. It was fun but not great. Kate spent the night at my house.
This morning I went over to the DMV and we were the first people there. So we didn't have to wait at all. I got all my information for my permit but then we found out we needed a statement of enrollment. :P But I was still allowed to take the test. I got 28 out of 29! 97% The question I missed asked how long you'll get your license suspended if you get a DUII for the first time. It's a year, but I said 6 months. After that we went and got my statement of enrollment and came back for my picture and stuff. They got me a temporary permit until my real one comes in the mail. My mom will have to mail it to me when I'm in California since I'll leave before it comes.
Right when we got out to the car again, my mom asked if I wanted to drive. I was nervous. She has a stick shift. I'd practiced with it once before but I killed the car like 20 times. I killed it a couple more times today but then I got the hang of it. I practically drove out of town before turning around. I got yelled at a little for mistakes but then I was fine. I pulled over to the side before I got to an intersection. I was too afraid to face one of those yet. Then my mom drove the rest of the way home. I'm mostly scared of practicing in California with the huge cars my dad and stepmom have. I don't want to crush anything. At least they're automatic so I won't jerk the car around.

Trip

Today in science before the bell rang, I walked in to the room to go to my seat. My friend Ian was joking around and blocking my way. I tried to quickly maneuver around him. My foot caught on the table's leg and I fell right on the floor! Lots of people said "Woah!" I tried to lessen my embarrassment by looking at Ian with a "what the heck?!" look. Michael was laughing but was also saying, "Geez Ian you didn't even say sorry!" Of course it was my fault and he knew it but he ended up apologizing anyway. I hid my head in my backpack when I got to my seat after tripping because a lot of people were laughing still and looking at me. It was definitely my most embarrassing fall, I'd say. It was really funny though.

Mean Teachers

Today in history a kid got caught for the umpteenth time with his ipod touch. And it was taken away for the umpteenth time. Mr. Munson got really mad and said, "You are such a bad student!" I was quite surprised at him. Then in Spanish Mrs. Sweet yelled at Kyle. She was explaining our final and Kyle was talking. She said "Kyle! Stop talking! You'd be one not to realize the paper had two sides!" I could see that he felt bad from that. I wasn't really surprised by Mrs. Sweet being mean but still! When did teachers get so mean?

Finally

School is almost over. 11 more days. But by the looks of it they're cutting two days so it'll be 9 days. Finals are coming up. I have all A's so I think I'll be fine. I'm going to California shortly after school gets out and I'll be gone for all of July. I'm going to miss my friends so much but it'll be great to see my dad. He's finally coming back from Iraq.

Evil

Kate and I exchange notes. She gave one to me yesterday before I went to Spanish class. It was a very deep note. I started responding with a very deep note. My teacher Mrs. Sweet put in a CD that goes with the textbook. The person on the CD would say a word and we'd have to repeat it. I was writing and repeating at the same time. I was about half way done writing it. Mrs. Sweet was walking around the room. I saw her and stopped writing. I was kind of holding it close to me, off the desk. She calmly came over and just took the paper out of my hands and walked away. I was filled with such an angry fury at that moment. I wanted to punch her and scream at her. My face hurt like a demon was trying to get out of me. I tried to keep my expression together but I don't think I did very well. My heart seemed to hurt too. I did NOT want her touching that note, or even worse, reading it. I wanted to break my pencil in half. When she went back to the front I texted Kate and told her about it. A couple of swear words were included. When class finally ended I went to the end of the hall and up the stairs with Coleman and Kate was going the other way. She grabbed my arm and pulled me back towards the classroom. She had Mrs. Sweet last semester for French class. She told me Mrs. Sweet was mean to her at first but she started sucking up to her a bit and then she liked her. I waited outside while she went into the room. She told me what happened. She went up to her, said hello and asked if I was in that class. She said yes. Kate told her I was writing a note to her and asked if she could have it. Mrs. Sweet pulled it out of the trash can and asked what it was about. Kate told her she didn't know, just anything, and that we like writing notes back and forth. She told her that I shouldn't write in class anymore and Kate promised it wouldn't happen again. I was so surprised when she came back out with the note. I won't be writing in there anymore. If I get Mrs. Sweet next year for Spanish 2, I'm switching to the nicer teacher. I very strongly dislike Mrs. Sweet.
