My nose is cold!

Mozart? Tum tum tum tum!
-Mozart quoting German teenager

German class makes me sad. I love the languauge, it's sexy! But my teacher is itsy-bitsy and not very good.

Shannanigan's got a job! It's at the Crown Theater (I know, awesome.) It pays mimimum wage! And the hour's suck, but any money is appreciated at this point!

Doesn't Shannanigan sound cool? Thanks to Joel Johnson, it's my new nickname. :) J'adore Shannanigan et Joel Johnson.

I'm on Fall Break, but it's not going to be very break-y. Tomorrow, my mother and I are going to attend me Great-Aunt's funeral. It's been a long time since the last funeral I went to...I don't even remember who died! I love people-watching at funerals. I love people-watching. That's creepy...watching people, for example, buy bread is so great to me. Why?

I've been reading quite a bit lately...and that's a good thing. I just finished a book where one of the characters always exclaims "Lanky Lizards!" Where did that come from? Lanky...that's just one neat word.

Ok, time to go! Oh I'm watching Conan tonight. I'm so darn excited.

Everybody's got the fever....

I was just reading my friend Emily's blog and I found that all of her titles are lyrics, and I thought how cool is that? So this song is stuck in my head, and I thought I'd borrow her idea just this ONCE. So, there you go. Fever performed by Peggy Lee is a great song.

It's been a while. I know. I've been sort of busy, or maybe I was just making up excuses? I don't know. Our computer is slow. Dreadfully slow. I have not the patience nor the energy to blog anymore. I have mixed feelings about the year so far.... My chemistry teacher is dreadful. He is inconsistent and rude. He's no help, so I end up going to my Algebra II teacher (who's the nicest man I've ever met) for help. Thank God he's the smartest man. Ever. Alright, so that's a downside. Plus, I am bad at Algebra. I just don't get it. Sometimes, I just give up and figure that I will never ever have to touch this stuff again. Eckkkkhhhhh.......There are a few classes I enjoy, creative writing being one of them. It's challenging, but it's not a grade I have to worry about because pretty much anything is accepted. Ah, I love it. I also love my prof de francais. Elle a tres amusante...See, I learned that much from her.

Ok, so...Oh! I saw a play my brother was a player in on Friday, the 16th. The play was called Fuddy Meers (I think I discussed this already?) and it was great. I love visiting him. It's the ONLY thing I have to look forward to in life. This is what I've been reduced too. This, and my television shows. Each night, I have a different show to watch. Oh my goodness.

I'd best study for Algebra II.....large test tomorrow. Who's excited?

I'm confused about Lithium batteries.

My mother will embark on a five day journey to Arizona and she wants to take my digital camera along with her. We buy a battery charger at Radio Shack for a cheap price (the salesman was nice.) I come home, phone my dad, and ask him if these Lithium batteries I have will recharge. They won't; I am angry. Thought you should know.

I suppose I could complain about gas prices right here but I'm not sure if the problem will be resolved..

School is fairly boring this year. I feel wasted there because I know that much of the stuff I am learning won't be used. I think I learn more in the hallways then I do in the classrooms. But, as Linda said in her Blog (lindufus.blogspot.com) I should be happy with my education, and the fact I'm getting one. :) I was considering, again today as every other day, what I should do when I am an adult and I come to the same revelation each time: It's in God's hands and I should give my life to Him. That's one the of hardest things to accomplish.

Well, I hope you have a happy sleep. Or day.

My computer screen is jumping!

I don't know what's wrong....I just clicked on to this page and it won't stop. I'm offically freaked out now (this was an allusion to every Disney movie ever made!)

Well, I just had a fun weekend and I hope you did also. I went with my homeschooled friend to Cedar Point on Friday. I skipped school. This is a painful thing. Cedar Point was pretty exciting except it was hot and I smelled. Bad. And I don't feel bad admitting that becasue I'm sure that you have smelled bad once in your life. On Saturday night, my friend and I spent the night at some ladie's house. They're dog watching the scariest dog. His eyes bore into your soul. Anyway, that was a fun adventure. And tomorrow, I return to school!

Yippy Kai-Yay

I am becoming increasingly lazy with my blogging. I shouldn't feel too bad, though. The less time I spend in the computer, the better.

Youth last night went really well. Every week, I always complain about having to go (although no one is forcing me) I never think about the times I would have hated missing, like last night. I am disappointed Ross missed it. We took him back to school on Sunday. His room is fabulous (Party Monster) and larger than is last. I am happy because he is thrilled that he and his roommate has their own bathroom. No longer does he have to share showers with everyone else on his floor or glance at vomit of some poor drunken soul. We had to take him down earlier than most other people because of his practices. He's in a recently released play entitled Fuddy Meers. He plays Richard, the husband of a woman who has a certain type of amnesia that makes her forget everything after she's gone to sleep. It's a comedy and Ross has the privilege of saying F***! How exciting!

School begins tomorrow. I am not nervous; it's as if I never left. I am just concerned with my schedule. Last year I had to go to classes for a couple of days that I hadn't wanted to take until they were able to change my schedule. That's unpleasant; it takes longer to settle into the schoolyear. Oh well, I will be glad when I get into the swing of things.

Scheduling Changes!

I cannot stand it when my schedule for school is screwed up! This is the second time it's happened, and it's such a hassle when there are 2100 other students wanting to change their schedules. School starts in 8 days. That is depressing.

I'm sleepy.

Trash lining the uneven paths.....

I've not been in a blogging mood. Ever since returning from Tanzania, I've done three things: Eat, read, and the one thing that dominates most of my time, sleep. Not joking; I went to bed at 8:30 last night. I awoke at 8 this morning. Disgusting.

Africa was surreal. I still cannot believe I was there. It was really an amazing experience. It was quite a culture shock though; I've seen things and read things about Tanzania. A few facts: Tanzania is 99% Muslim, though not hard to reach. They are allowed to litter, so garbage is EVERYWHERE. In Swahili, they're first language, candy is "peepee" or "pipi." I'm not entirely confident in those spellings.

I think this trip will be easier to discuss once I am able to include photographs. And even then, it will be hard to elaborate on what happened.

I'm glad to be home.
