Winter Carnival!

January

Hey Everybody! I haven't posted in a while. Not much has been happening here. Today was my mom's birthday so we had chocolate cupcakes and ice cream after dinner. We have been super busy getting ready for the Italian Dinner. I think my fingers are going to fall off if I have to play the second page of Gypsy Serenade one more time! ;) I think it should go okay. Today in AP Lang and Comp we got books that we have to read. We could pick between White Oleander and On Writing. I picked On Writing because I have already read White Oleander. In gym class we are watching Supersize Me. It made me happy because that means we don't have to play pingpong. :) Tomorrow we are in the weight room though...ugh. Oh, well.
Well, I should probably go now, I just wanted to give you guys a quick update on how my life has been going.

We have to plan a weekend when we can go to Iowa. Any suggestions on good weekends, post here! :D

Yay Christmas!

Paula and Me on the way home from Michigan just being weird :-P

Christmas Vacation

We made it to Michigan last night at around 7:30ish their time. Today we woke up to howling winds and a complete white-out of snow! We made it to church and then came home for lunch. Then we went out to the farm where my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins are going to stay. We made the beds and cleaned up for them. Then we decorated their tree and hid rubber snakes and lizards around their bathroom. Driving back to my Grandparent's house was really scary because we couldn't see anything. Later today we are probably going to make Christmas cookies later today.
If I don't blog again until then, MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy New Year! <3

Thanksgiving Break!

I took my Drivers' Test today and guess what?!?!?!

I PASSED! I only got nine points off! And I didn't have to parallel park at all. :) I thought it was a lot easier than I imagined it to be. The only bad part was that we had to spend 2 and 1/2 hours at the DMV since our tests were an hour apart. I was sooooo hungry and crabby when I got home!

We are on break right now for Thanksgiving. We have today, Thursday, and Friday off of school. I am so happy. I have two birthday parties and a get together with some friends I haven't seen in a while. I would like to go and see a couple of movies this weekend also. Tonight I am getting my hair cut. Probably just a trim, though, nothing drastic. Ok, I am going to stop typing now.
Oh btw we went to Copps today but Megan wasn't working...sadness

Yippee Skippee

Wow I haven't posted in a while...
This week I have a lot of quizes/tests. We start bowling in gym...yay (note my sarcasm). Rachel (my partner) can't bowl because her arm is still kinda messed up and she broke her nose over the weekend so she is in a lot of pain. We played ping-pong today and that was fun. This week is the school play which Hannah and Jessica are both in. I think I am going on Friday night but I'm not completely sure. It should be good.
I have my last drive-time on Saturday and my test is looming ever closer!! :-/ I'm really scared!
