I got my first job at McDonald's on Saturday, June 25th. And it's going good so far. I'm trying my best but I've still got a ways to go before I learn all of it because I'm still new and trying to get used to everything. So, wish me luck! lol. And if you're ever in the area, come by and see me. :D

Oh, guys! I have the funniest story that happened on Tuesday! I made a complete and total fool out of myself! Okay, so I was doing Act II of the play on Tuesday for a bunch of classes and near the end we do a backwards version of Hamlet. Anyways, I'm walking backwards towards the curtain (which is on the door pretty good) and step on it, causing myself to trip, fall, and take the curtain with me. The curtain came off and the audience burst out laughing.....At me!! I thought it was pretty funny too. And the best part is my friend Michael got it on tape. Maybe when I get a copy of the tape I could figure out how to burn it to a cd and upload it or something. It was so mortifying! And after the play everyone was laughing so hard we were all crying!! Some of you lucky friends out there may have gotten to experience this first hand! If so, thanks for your support! It only takes me to do something as klutzy like that. Go figure. (Take notice, rolling eye smiley Inside joke for my friends and me at DK)

Dude! Last week I had to go to this meeting for guidance or something because my Honors English teacher gave on a few girls in my class a slip of paper for the same appointment, anyhow, I went to it last week and I found out that I've been accepted into this program that is only for females in the top 20% of their junior class. And that's me!! W00t! And alot of my other friends! So, I decided I would go for it. The program is called Tar Heel Girls' State. It's dealing with government and such, even though I'm not that interested in government I'm still going to go because it looks good on college applications, or any application for that matter! It goes on for a week during the summer. I can't remember exactly what date. It's a week in June though. It will be so much fun! I used to feel kind of like I was falling behind, but after I got that I was like, "Oh my gosh!" I am way more ahead than I thought I was!! But anyhow, I guess I'm just special like that. *Shrug*. :D

So, I decided I would make a blog here for once because I had nothing better to do. Well, anyways, every is good so far. I'm doing well in school. I am a junior in high school now. I've got prom in May, hooray. Oh, that rhymed.*fake excitement* And believe it or not, my parents are actually cool with me being asked, if I ever do that is. Which I probably won't. I will go though. I'll go with my girl friends. I think they're having the prom at some hotel, and they like, always have the junior and senior prom at the same time. So, yeah. Last year it was on a boat, on the lake here. So, now I thought I'd tell you my classes this semester, since I don't really know what else to say. Well, anyways, I have: First Period - Honors English III Second Period - Theatre Arts III Third Period - French III Fourth Period - General Psychology And for those of you who don't know, psychology is a college course, but it's offered at my school by a class called, "Information Highway." We watch the teacher lecture on the TV and stuff. Yeah, and it gets kind of boring. Not the psychology part, I think psychology is interesting, but watching a man lecture on TV is just not the most exciting thing in the world. I always feel like I'm going to fall asleep. I got my first psychology test back today, and it was an 88%. Hooray. Although I had hoped to make an 'A'. That's pretty good, though I guess, considering the first test kids don't usually do too well on. An 88% is a 'B' anyways, and that's good for now. Well, it's been fun, but that's it for now. Later.

Merry Christmas everyone! And if you don't celebrate Christmas, Happy Holidays!! I had a good day today for Christmas. I just finished eating the holiday feast, and I'm really full right now. I got a lot of cool stuff. I got a couple shirts, some perfume, a game, a joke book, a purse, a scarf, some money, and a gift card. I still have some other presents when I get back home. I'm in Atlanta, GA right now with my aunt/uncle/cousins and I'm borrowing my cousin's laptop to type this blog. I'm gone for the 24th through the 27th. I've had a good time. It didn't snow on Christmas though :(. Oh well, I still had a good time :). I'm addicted to that new Nintendo DS game Nintendogs, lol. It's my cousin's and I've been playing it off and on since I got here, lol. It's so cute! I wanna buy it now when I get home! Okay, that's about it for right now. Season's Greetings to everybody!! Take care! :D :)

Today I just got my passport back in the mail after about 3 or 4 weeks! I'm able to travel the world now! I'm going to France and Spain in April with school, and my parents aren't going, but my brother is. So it's like I'll be alone in Europe! I'm so excited! :D :D I can't wait!!

This weekend I was gone the whole weekend to go on a church retreat thing and help out because it's for the 8th graders to make their confirmation. If you're a Catholic, you probably know what that is. If you're not, just incase you don't know, it's an initiation into the church, like a baptism when you're older too. Well, maybe that doesn't really explain it that much, but oh well. You get the picture. I had a lot of fun and while I was there I got to talk to all the 8th graders, parents, and high schoolers helping out on the microphone about my experience with my family being here from hurricane Katrina and about my dad going down there with my aunt to assess the damage and what it was like when they got back. There were probably like a hundred or more people there too, lol. I was kind of nervous because after talking for a while I started to feel like I was going to cry or something and it was a little hard for me to talk, lol. But afterwards, everybody clapped for me, so it's all good. I had to sleep in a cabin because the retreat was at a camp and it was nice, we had brand new cabins and stuff. The problem was I woke up at like 3 in the morning freezing. Someone like turned the air conditioner on because it was hot when the other girls went to bed and it got really cold being on that long. Plus it was probably like 40 degrees outside too. Well, anyways, it was so much fun, I had a great time. Oh, and by the way, here's a cool poem thing I heard while I was there: Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is a gift, And that's why we call it the present. :)

Hey, take a look at my new banner that's like, too big. Tell me what you guys think. I know, it looks a little plain, but all I have is paint right now!
