Duct Tape

It's spirit week this week! Yesterday was twin day and Kate, Jake and I were triplets. It was pretty great. Today I wasn't feeling it and didn't dress up for opposite sex day, although I realize now that I could have. But I made up for it by participating in the competition between the classes at lunch. Yesterday there was a rap-off but only freshmen and seniors did it. Kate signed up for the one that happened today but the person who was supposed to do it with her bailed. So I joined her! She had to rap me in duct tape with the sticky side out. Some people tossed candy all over the floor. Then I had to roll on the floor and pick up as much candy as I could. It was so fun! It was really hard to turn sometimes because I would stick to the floor. I had to stand up once so she could reapply duct tape. When the time stopped, Holler had to help me up because I couldn't get up. My hands were trapped in front of me and my hair was just all in my face. It took a long time to count all the candy and it was even harder to get the duct tape off. We got some scissors but Officer Maunder had to use his knife to cut me out. At the end, the freshmen got 11 pieces of candy, juniors and seniors both got 44, and we got 45! We got to keep the candy we grabbed. Although a lot of it was squished and some of it broke open. We were so proud! Tomorrow is career day and I'm gonna be a barista. (A person who makes and serves coffee) I have a Starbucks apron and I'll wear my hair in a loose bun-thingy. Thursday is superfan day and Friday is class colors day. We're green. The homecoming assembly and game are then as well. Saturday is homecoming. :) Great week.

Honk

Today I drove to and from church in my mom's car. It's a stick-shift. The last time I drove it I broke down crying in frustration. Today was good. I'm getting better. But on the way back, I came to a stop light and killed the car like 4 times and had to wait for it to turn green 2 or 3 times. The first time wasn't bad because no one was behind me. But the next time, someone came up and honked at me because I wasn't going. My mom turned on the hazard lights and they honked again. My mom opened the window and flipped them off! I got a little agitated when they honked again but it wasn't too bad. It was so funny! 

Zoom Zoom

I pretty much like my schedule a lot. But I have a good day and less good day. Biology, choir, history, and PE. Less fun. Math, open block, Spanish, and English. Fun. Still, times are good. Tomorrow I'm going to a football game. I missed the first one so I'm excited to go to one. There are only 4 home games this year. :( Homecoming is October 2nd. I'm excited for that too because I missed the first dance, which was after the first game. I was in Macminnville with Kate.
Speaking of Kate, since she broker her knee, she got a wheelchair at school and a lot of the time I was pushing her. She would say "Zoom zoom" and I'd take off running. It was really fun and people would dodge out of the way. One time, I zoomed and swerved too fast and Kate almost fell out of the chair! D: It was a bit scary. I didn't zoom zoom since then. But luckily the doctor told her she can walk on it now! Woot!
I have a ton of math homework. I ought to do that now...

Schucks.

Tomorrow is my first day of school. Jake went today for freshmen day. Tomorrow is just starting right up. Not as much fun as freshmen year. It'll probably still be fun though. Seeing who's in my classes. However that could be bad too... I got all my school supplies and stuff ready and now I'm trying to make sure the bus stop is still that same.
I decided not to change my schedule. I talked to a bunch of people about it and I'm guessing that they just decided I didn't need to get an audition. She heard me sing in guitar class last year and said 'It would be great to have you in choir!' And I can do those other classes next year. Besides, I emailed my counselor and the first things that are being changed are classes that are the wrong level. Well schucks. I'll just try and have fun in choir.
I'm really excited for school though. Tomorrow I'll go to biology, choir, ap euro, and PE. I'm glad I have PE d block again. Then I won't be sweaty for any next class and I can just go home.
Owwwww...I just tripped up the stairs.

Spillage

Today I went to Art Walk with Annie and about the time it was getting dark, she, Hannah, Hannah's dad and I went to Soba for dinner. When we sat down and got drinks (I had water), Annie had her phone out and was texting. I waved my hand in front of the screen but she looked at me and continued texting. So I messed around with her fingers and we both laughed. As I pulled my hand back, I accidentally pulled my water glass and it went ALL over me. I just sat there for a moment as it soaked in. I was so shocked. I was laughing a lot. So was Annie. My eyes got all teary from laughter and embarrassment. I tried to make it more like laughter. Then I went to the bathroom to clean myself up. Annie came in and grabbed some paper towels. I was wearing a dress with jeans underneath so I had to take the jeans off. When I got to the bathroom I was just mortified. Why am I such a klutz?!

Mostly good day

Today was the storm starter day. Rae, Kate and I woke up at 6 this morning to get ready to go. We left the house at like 7 and went to Kate's house. Then around 8:30 we left for the school. I was so tired. I saw a bunch of my friends and was generally very happy. I got my schedule and it's really messed up. I'm going to get it fixed as soon as I can.

Semester 1:
Biology 1
Adv. Algebra 2
Women's Vocal Ensemble
AP European History
Spanish 2
PE 2
Lit & Comp 2 Honors

Semester 2:
Biology 1
Adv. Algebra 2
Women's Vocal Ensemble
Americana Project
AP European History
Spanish 2
Intro to Arts
Lit Comp 2 Honors

How it works is every other day you have a different round of classes. There's green days and silver days. I wasn't supposed to be in women's vocal ensemble because I didn't even audition so that's not right and I'm going to get rid of it. Ugh...
In the first semester I have an open block on silver days during B block. However I need to add Health 2 in there. I also want to add Ceramics 2 to the schedule. I'll be quite an artist this year. And I want to change one of my teachers. I really hope I can get it changed soon. I also got my yearbook and locker with Jake. My friends' lockers are all pretty close so I'm glad about that.
Kate left then, and Rae, Jake and I walked all the way from the school to downtown. Like 3 miles. It took about a half hour. My feet were killing me. I was wearing my converse allstars and my heels were totally chaffing and they hurt so frickin' bad. They still do. We had Soba and then walked over to the loft and hung out there for a few hours. I took my shoes off when we got there. Then Jake went home and Rae and I stayed there for a while waiting for her mom. We went and got some hot cocoa and walked to the library. I couldn't put my shoes on because it hurt so bad so I was walking around downtown with one shoe on and holding the other one by the laces for a while. It was pretty funny. I was just surprised her mom didn't say anything about it.
I really hope I can fix my schedule. School starts on the 7th for the freshmen and on the 8th for everyone else. I'm pretty excited.
