Spring Finals

I have finals in my college classes this week. My first final will be in Calculus II later today. My next two will be all day tomorrow: Biology and Humanities II. On Wednesday, I'll be taking my Creative Writing final. My two art classes, Figure Drawing and Drawing II, have final projects due this week, but we have until Friday to turn them in. This week looks to be a breeze ^_^

I've enrolled in Calculus III for the first summer semester. It's an early morning class, five days a week. But it's the last of the series and I want to finish it. That way, I have an additional slot available next Fall. I'm also thinking of taking my GED so that I can enroll full time as a college student. The only HS class that I took this year was Programming and the only reason I took it was because I have to have a HS home room. All my friends and family are encouraging me to go the fast path. And in all honesty, I will. I just like to keep my options open ^_^

Ding Dong!

Finals are over! Well, at least my college finals are done. I have a midterm next week in my high school class. After that, we have a two week winter break. Mom, Granddad, and I are going to visit my Grand Uncle in the ALF and my Aunts and Cousin on the way back. I haven't heard anything about Christmas from my Dad yet. He's been very busy of late. I'm hoping he will be here at a couple of days o.o I want to drive him around ^_^ I miss him so much.

Last night was Pizza and a Movie night. Lee's here of course, snoring, along with Kyle, Hannah, and Yvonne. These nights have become rarer than when we first started. Everyone's life is diverging. Separate life paths. Alice's has gone almost completely. We still talk and such, but we haven't hung out in like forever. That's kind of understandable. We never really had much in common. I think our bond was the familiarness of each other. Once we started finding people that had more in common with ourselves, that bond started dissolving. Life moves on.

BIrthdays, parties, restricted DLs

It was Triple Thursday today ^_^ First of all, I got my restricted Driver's Licence!!!! Freaking AWESOME! LOL ^_^ In my brilliancy, I made the appoint for late in the afternoon, after my tennis class. So all day long, all I could think about was the test o.o Finally, after tennis and getting cleaned up, mom took me to do the driving test. Yes, I had to flash my ID a couple of times especially to the person giving me the test >.< Anyway, needless to say, I got my DL!!! It's a restricted DL though. I can't drive between 11pm and 6am unless I'm accompanied by a licensed driver of 21+ years of age, or I'm driving to or from work. So, what does that mean for me? It means I can borrow the car without having to borrow mom too LOL ^_^ The downside, is that we only have one vehicle o.o Oh well, that's my next step ^_^

Second of the Triple Thursday is that it is Halloween!!! One of my favorite holidays ^_^ This year Yvonne became zombified as was Hannah; Kyle was Lord Death, a variation of his costume last year. As for me, I went as a mad scientist with Lee, my prince, as my monster creation ^_^ Throughout the party, I was randomly checking to make sure my monster's lips worked and he, mine ^_^ Lee and I came to Yvonne's party an hour late because of something important we needed to do...

Lee's birthday. The most important of Triple Thursday. He decided to have just me and his family this year. Amanda and Ryan, his older sister and brother, weren't there. So it was just the five of us: Lee, me, Hannah, and his mom and dad. There were few decorations for his BD. Most of the house was decked out for Halloween. Dinner was yummy, roast chicken and stuffing, green beans, corn on the cob (and on anyone that sat close to Hannah lol), mashed potatoes and gravy ^_^ Afterwards, Lee was forced to put on a birthday hat (I can be rather forceful ^_^) and we sang happy birthday while the candles were lit. He'll get his wish ^_^ Then Lee did presents while we all ate cake and ice cream.

For some reason, I made this day and evening sound kind of ordinary and it was far from that. It was so special to me. o.o I need sleep now or I'll doze off ATK before I post this.

Post canoe trip

Thursday, Aug 15th, 16:38: Rain. Rain. And more rain. Downpour. We expected this.

Well, I'm home. Almost everything I brought with me is soaked or damp. The canoe trip started out okay, but around 4:30pm, the first downpour hit. We took cover to wait it out and once it was over, we continued on. Then about 6:00pm the next downpour hit. Again, we took cover and waited it out. Undeterred, we continued on. 20/20 hindsight suggests that was a mistake >.< We made it to island by the third downpour hit. It didn't last very long and afterwards, the sky was blue and almost clear. It wasn't until after midnight that the storms came back. We weren't ready, none of us. Everything got soaked >.< We were miserable. We were giggling too ^_^ It was freaking fun ^_^ I want to do it again ^_^

Gray day

It's gray. It's humid. It's suffocating. I went running earlier and had to return home because I was worried about the dogs getting sick. I still finished my run, but was soaked from sweating so much. Maybe I'll meet up with my friends later at the beach ^_^

Happy 4th of July!

!!! Happy 4th of July !!!

I just got home about thirty minutes ago and I'm dead tired. Did the cookout with family and friends. But we didn't see the city's fireworks display. The weather was just too wet. Instead, we just shot them up at Yvonne's house. Actually, it was her dad and brothers. The rest of us just watched ^_^

Packing day

I think I've got everything packed for camp now. My backpack probably weighs as much as me. Come to think of it, my backpack probably weighs as much as me empty >.< lol ^_^ I'm going low tech. Only my smartphone is coming. My laptop, iPad, Kindle, etc., stays here. Swamps don't like technology. They seem to go out of their way to kill technology >.<

About my future posts. I'll be gone about a week; so don't expect any. Afterwards, I'm not sure how often I'll be posting. Like I said awhile back, the one post a day thing can be tedious when I have nothing interesting to talk about. Well, nothing interesting to me to talk about. I might switch to a weekly summary post instead of a daily post. But, I'm thinking that those posts can get quite long if I have a lot to say. I don't know. I have about a week to think about it more, if I remember.

Well, I'm going to chill out before I have to leave. Lee's going to be over to come with us when mom takes me to the bus. It'll be over a week before I see any of my friends and family T_T I love them all <3

Friday!

Last day of school! In about four hours, I'll be done for the year and will be officially on Summer holiday ^_^ I hope Lee and my friends get turned loose early. I want to celebrate with them ^_^ Regardless, I'll be waiting for them if they're there for the full day. I need to get dressed now. I think I'm going to dress all summery with lots of neons LOL ^_^

Memorial Day (true day)

Today is when most people officially do Memorial Day. But, since Mom and I are not like most people and had already did Memorial Day, we'll be doing house and yard chores today >.< Maybe I'll be able to con my friends into coming over and helping :P

Friday

One week down and three more to go. Then. SUMMER!!! Yes! Unlike the summers before, this year I leave for the Everglades almost immediately. They're trying to avoid tropical storms and hurricanes this year. So while my friends are running around and celebrating the end of school, I'll be mucking about in a swamp :P LOL ^_^

Chilly day

It's been chilly the past couple of days. Even now, at 3pm, it's like 75F/24C outside. Have our seasons become mixed up? I think this is going to be one weird summer.

Summer camp starts in a month for me. Everglades again ^_^ This year, it'll be a week again. They decided to keep it that length for now. Oh well, it's all good in the end ^_^

High school gets out in about 20 mins, so I'm off to meet my friends ^_^

One class days

From this point on until the end of school, I only have one class a day: American History. All my college courses are done. No classes after AH. All my friends still have classes throughout the day. So, it's just me and the dogs and the kitty until after 3:30pm. Today, I just chilled out after AH. Tomorrow, I'll probably meet up with Lee after school  ^_^

Yesterday was my birthday, sweet sixteen birthday. My dad went out of his way to be there for me. He does as much for me as possible to prove that he loves me. I know deep in my bones that he does <3

OMG!!!

My dad was here for my birthday! Only him and my mom knew he was coming. I was so hyper happy when I saw him. OMG <3 <3 hehehehe I'm still hyper LOL ^_^ I'm also kinda sad cause he had to leave to catch his flight o.o I miss him so much T_T But, I love him even more <3 <3

Last night ^_^

Last night was wonderful and awesome ^_^ I spent most of it dancing with Lee. When I wasn't dancing with Lee, I was dancing with Yvonne :P ^_^ I did dance with Kyle once or twice too ^_^ Alice and Sheila kept to themselves most the evening. But Alice did dance with me when I offered <3. The dance started around 7pm and ended around 9pm. Afterwards, my friends, Lee and I had dinner out. It was yummy ^_^ Around 11pm we went our separate ways, Lee's dad driving me home. Lee would have drove, but it's kinda hard to drive and snuggle with me in the backseat LOL ^_^ <3

Anyway, I need to help mom with getting ready for my birthday party today ^_^ Nothing special really ^_^ Oh, and happy Cinco de Mayo! ^_^

^_^ Happy Easter ^_^

Happy Easter!!! ^_^ Mom and I need to do some quick shopping if the stores are open. But afterwards, we'll be prepping Easter dinner. My granddad will be coming over later to join us. So I need to help straighten out the house before I can meet up with my friends. I also get to bring Lee home with me for dinner ^_^ <3

Day off ^_^

'Twas a lovely day today. I spent it with my Lee and our friends, but mostly with Lee. Oh and Hannah too ^_^ Mostly we just hung out at the skate park, skateboarding or just goofing. We did Taco Bell for lunch and it was nummy ^_^ lol.

Anyway, it's late and the house is chilly and there's a warm Lee nearby to curl up with for the night <3 ^_^

Spring Break!

It's official, today is the first day of Spring break! Yes! It's also chilly out this morning. But, it's still nice enough out to take Tom and Jack running in a little bit ^_^ As for what I'm going to do on this glorious day, no idea. My friends and I are going to meet up later and hang out. Usually if we hang out long enough, when we look up, we find ourselves doing something fun ^_^

Hide away day

It's cold today and gray and drizzly rain. One of those days you just want to hide from the weather. And that's what I'm doing at the moment :P Even my friends are hiding. Heck, even Tom and Jack aren't that thrilled to go outside. It's probably the combination of cold and wet that they don't like. Sooo, I've got my nest on my bed and I'm playing around with my acoustic guitar. It has such a different feel than my electric. It's bigger and I have to hold it differently because of that. I have to strum it relatively loudly; otherwise it sounds out of tune. And, I have to press harder on the frets to get clean notes. But, it's nice in the end because I don't have worry about getting tangled in cords and such ^_^ Don't get me wrong. My electric is my favorite guitar. It's just that right now, I don't want to mess with head phones and cables and such.

Cuddling and snuggling weather

Tonight's going to be chilly and possibly cold. Purrfect weather for snuggling and cuddling with pizza and movies ^_^ I've added the episode 1 of season 1 of Game of Thrones to the list of things to watch tonight. We've heard so much about it that we want to see what all the hype was about.

Change of plans

Well, we didn't go the to Buddhist Temple today. Granddad slipped and fell a couple of days ago and he's still felling stiff and sore. We're going to try to go next Sunday if he's up to it.

So, I guess it's just going to be me and Lee today ^_^ Most of my friends thought we were going to be out of town, so they made plans that didn't include me. No biggie. Oh, and Lee was coming with me today; that's why it'll be me and him ^_^ No idea what we're going to do yet. But, hey, who cares. I'll be with him <3 ^_^
