Accomplished

Yesterday was a very long day. Partially because I was up 'til 2 in the morning. But I got a lot done! Well maybe only a few things but it feels like I did. I finished all of my summer reading!! :D I'm SOO happy! It's over!!!! Now I can just relax for the next week. There's 8 days 'til school starts! And 3 until the storm starter day. Oh my gosh I'm getting my yearbook in 3 days! I'm so excited it's making me flip out inside. And I'll also get my schedule and locker. And the day before, I finished knitting a head-scarf. (A headband of warmth) I'm pretty proud. It's the best one I've ever made. Anyway, I'm just extremely happy right now. :) But Kate broke her knee a few days ago, the same day I fell off the skateboard. So that really sucks. But I'm gonna go keep her company today.

Well I feel stupid.

Joe came home with the dog from the park and told me and Kate there were some total punks on the way. Kate got the idea to go and mess with them and dress up like punks and act really cool. We went through the garage and I found 2 skateboards. We saw them on a corner up the street. When we were going to go, I started off too fast and just ate it on the sidewalk. I laughed for a second but then I realized how much pain I was in. It was horrible. And on top of that, Kate said they were laughing at me. I landed on the side of my leg and scraped it. I just sat on the sidewalk and said a few cuss words because it hurt so bad and Kate asked if I was ok. Then I started crying. I felt like such an idiot. I didn't look at the people on the corner. I made my way back to the garage and tried to hide my embarrassment and tears. I went up-stairs and looked at my leg and there's a huge scrape on the side of my thigh. This happened like 15 minutes ago. Also, as it turns out, there's a scrape on my ankle. It doesn't hurt but it was bleeding while the other thing wasn't. I put a Marvel Wolverine band-aid on it and Kate got me ice. I felt like crap. Kate told me some embarrassing things about her and made me feel a little better so I'm fine now. Ugh...damn skateboard.

Nice Day

Today was a good day. I'll be finished reading A World Lit Only By Fire in just 2 days! Then there's just the easy, good book left. I decided to rearrange my room again. But I have yet to actually do it. I brought some of the crap in my closet to the garage so now I have a bunch more room in there. I also fixed the screen in my window so bugs won't get in my room anymore. It was all messed up and sticking out so there was a big space without any screen blocking the window. But it's good now. :) I'll start rearranging soon. I'm just changing things up in my closet right now. I want to move the stuff on my walls too. I have a shelf that I need to put up and I'll put my books on it.
At about 3 today I floated the river with Kate, my mom, Jake and Joe, and my mom's friend and her son. Also our whole youth group. It was quite fun! I swam a lot of it.

Almost back to school

This weekend my mom went to a blue grass festival so my brothers and I are staying at our aunt and uncle's house for a few days. It's nice seeing them. They're going on a sabbatical soon so we won't get to see them for a while. I've been mostly just doing summer reading and being sleepy. I don't really know what to do. I might hang out with people tomorrow or Monday or something. I'm pretty bored right now. I'm getting through my books though, for which I'm proud. I just have A World Lit Only By Fire and The House on Mango Street, and I'm already about 90 pages into the history one.
We're going to go to the school on the 1st to get our schedules and yearbooks. I'm pretty excited. I also can't wait for Jake to come to high school. I'm going to be a really nice sister so he won't be too happy when I graduate and leave. It's too bad I won't ever be in the same school as Joe anymore. He'll be a freshman the year after I'm a senior.
I think this year will be much better than last year. I made a bunch of friends last year and now I'll get to enjoy them all year. I met Kate, Riley, Coleman, I strengthened some old friendships, and I'll probably make a few more friends too. Plus Jake will get to meet all my friends and get to know a bunch of 'cool' sophomores. It'll be cool to see him at school again. I'll try to never embarrass him and I'll give him his space to be a high schooler. It truly is a great time of our lives. :)

Friend Week

This week has been just full. I hung out with someone every day. I quite enjoy it. :) On Monday, Annie and I floated the river and she spent the night. On Tuesday, I was with Annie for a while longer and then Kate came over. Then I spent the night at her house and was with her most of Wednesday. Today I'm hanging out with Maya and on Friday I'm with Rae. Pretty much just an awesome week.

Buddies

I had a lot of fun yesterday with Annie! We floated the river and she spent the night. And we made a list of tips for high school that was mostly for guys. Today we wrote philosophy type things in the street really big so cars can read them. Kate came over on her bike. We got the kiddie pool out because it was really hot. Then Annie's dad picked her up. Oh how I love my friends.

Summer Stuff

We got back from camping yesterday. Kate came so that was fun. We went to a spot that was totally out in the wilderness besides a bunch of cattle that belong to a person somewhere. The first morning we woke up to a cow mooing really loud close to our site. Joe ate some bad potato salad though and had food poisoning the next day and felt horrible. :( But we had a lot of fun and made our own fire pit thing and I ate 4 s'mores one night. We drove past a bunch of creepy houses on the way back and a shoe-tree. I also learned to knit! I love it! I made 3 head band/ear-warmer thingies. I'm pretty proud. Kate made one mitten. :)

Tomorrow I'm gonna hang out with Kate. I really want to float the river soon!

Annie's getting back tomorrow! I haven't seen her since like the day before I left to California! We were in Target and I got a swimsuit and saw her there also getting a swimsuit. But anyway, I need hang with my wonder twin! And soon!

So...

I'm pretty bored right now so I think I'd like to blog. I could just go to sleep but I've decided to sleep downstairs tonight and it would take a bit of energy that I'm procrastinating from using. I'm going to sleep downstairs because my room has proved me to be hot, messy, and bugs keep getting in all the time. That screen on the window isn't being very loyal, I'm afraid. They're always in my lamp on my desk. :P

I did some math and my reading doesn't seem so difficult now. I have 33 (now 32) days, 791 pages, and I have to read at least 24 pages each day. I've got 40 pages down. I don't want to talk about school. It's summer. Blegh. Who's idea was it to give out homework during vacation?? Because they SUCK. I'm getting quite tired now. I'm just rambling. Um...I'm trying to think of something to write that isn't about school...having trouble...

Well my entire room is basically the same colors.
   

I'd say they're my favorites. I'm feeling a little extreme now... I have 2 walls of each color, bed spread, curtains (blue), picture frames, white board (blue), and closet bin storage thingys. Or is it thingies? And I just got some green locker shelves from my mom. Oh well. It's pretty. :)

I'm really bored now so I'm gonna sleep. G'night!

Refreshing

It looks like I've been writing less and less. But I'm finally back from Virginia and camp and I can finally relax. I am so glad to just have peace and calm for once. I can finally do nothing! Well...besides stupid summer reading. I will probably start writing more again. There's only one month left and I still have to finish 3 books. D: I have to read A World Lit Only By Fire for AP European history, and The House On Mango Street and The Good Earth for English. I wish I had photographic memory and could read one page per second. I also have to do journal entries for Mango Street and Good Earth. And guided reading questions for the history one. :P I'll probably do some more reading today. I need to make a habit of it. It's really nice out so I want go outside soon.
