Hey!!!

Well...Here I am once again. Except only older and wiser...ok maybe not that last one... but I have graduated now after a very exciting senior year. and now I need a job.. see Dad has really been pushing this job thing and I haven't had much luck, and now it July 7th. soo... yeah Anyways...
We just got back last night from new york. went to the Indy race up there and of course visited, but now we probably won't see everyone up there for awhile... especially me. in 2 weeks we'll see the gardners at new york city. But otherwise, we are very busy and won't get up there again until well after I leave for muhlenberg... which is where I'm going to college. it's unfortunate that I didn't write about the college choosing process on here. but anyhow. dad's going to ca in 3 weeks, and then we are going to mexico at the beginning of August. and then I have a week to pack and then I leave for college. so the month of july for me is empty but who wants to hire someone for only a month. so yep fun fun fun.

Well well well...

Look who decided to update. I have been busy. Everyone has MySpaces now. so I have slacked off on updating this or Xanga. but oh well. now we are in 2nd semester of junior year. ap calc, eff. comm., span. 2, and robotics 1. boring and horrible and fun and interesting. but I wont' go into detail. can't wait to get out of high school. spanish is a ton better now. class is actually worth going to. unfortunately I have classes with many of my friends. Carolyn in eff. comm. and the group in the corner. and also others in other classes that I at least know and talk to. but not a lot. now I am off to update Xanga cyaz!

And again...

Wow it has been a while. getting behind in all this blog stuff. since March i have turned 16. also went to NYC with senate which was fun. and now school is out and i am at home. might think about getting a job sometime soon. also had a bunch of shopping to do but shopping is really my thing since i'm so picky. Dakota is getting big almost 8 months old.

Update

So haven't updated in a LONG time. well this anyway. definitely updated my Xanga a lot more often. like almost everyday. unless I forget. anyway prolly won't update this cause I'm too lazy. so too bad for you people. well maybe I will. but who knows. everything is fun. Aca we are making calendars. History is boring. Bio is kinda interesting. and trig is ok too. senate trip is looking iffy right now. and that's about it. Dakota turned 3 months old on Saturday. yay! so cyaz

Happy Valentine's Day!

Yay! It's Valentine's Day! Kinda sucky when you see everyone else get stuff but oh well. I got flowers from my dad so I'm happy. Let's see haven't updated this lately. Today was ok..ACA was ok we only did 1 activity thing. since the juniors have PSSAs..and tomorrow we'll might not do anything since it's "Senior 'Sick' Day"...so that might be fun..will have to look at more college stuff. yeah so i think we figured that 12 people wouldn't be there. and I'll be very lonely in the back all by myself.:sad: oh well on to Homeroom which was long and kinda boring. it wasn't sunny so there was no 5...and the mysterious lights came on and went off again. and Abby was waiting for her Dad to get her but I guess he didn't come until the beginning of pd. 3. so yeah Abby got her permit...that's weird though... History was ok. finished our notes and found out that she lost my test and bonus stuff so she just gave me full credit...which is cool. biology was ok.. worked on our cell pamphlet things..Penncellvania is very awesome. anywho that's about all we did..lunch was normal. nothing extremely funny. Trig eh finished our tests and went over the new section. and that was my day. we went sledding earlier and now mom just got home with subs so yay! Supper time! gtg cyaz!

Fun Semester!

Wow!  It's already been a week and a couple days of the new semester.  Been busy with tons of trig hw...compared to none last semester.  anywho..  Adv. Comp. Apps. is fun i guess it isn't too hard.  and there is a lot of free time so if there is anything i can do online i can do it other than play games which is dumb.  so usually i just check mygradebook.com and sit there and do nothing.  hr has been ok.  talk about trip and talent show.  i feel like a bum cause i'[m not really in either of those committees..but i thought i was in the t-shirt committee but idk...might not join next year.   anyways   history is ok...started doing stuff monday.  currently we are watching the movie Glory...well half watching.. it's kinda graphic and i don't really like seeing someone getting their head shot off so yeah i didn't watch some parts of it.  good theme though so far.  Biology is fun.  made rice krispie treats today.. it was yummy.  and we had double since there only 2 of us at our table.  so yeah.. lunch was weird but yeah... then Trig.  that class is interesting.  Mr. Firestone has a weird sense of humor.  but you have to think so much and it hurts my head so yeah and none of the other classes require that much thought and it is at the end of the day so yuck.  so that's my new classes.  tonight we are going to the open house so that should be fun. not..  oh well

New Semester!!

Well today was the first day of the second semester.  But I'll start at finals.  on Thursday I got out at 10:45 cause of the final schedule and went home and did nothing.  Friday I got out at 9:05 since we didn't have to be there for gym.  I got mom to take to McDonalds for a breakfast muffin before we went home.  Then she left me at home to go help at Conewago.  So I did nothing some more.  Got my notebook ready for 2nd semester.  Friday we went to new york.  spent the weekend up there.  came back on Sunday though cause dad had something to go to.  so yeah. fun weekend.  Today.  New schedules were handed out first thing in homeroom.  nothing changed so went to Adv. Comp. Apps.  went over syllabus and info sheet and boring stuff and how it was going to be challenging yet we are learning about Word and Excel some more so eh.  hopefully i don't already know the stuff this time.  did some little activity then back to homeroom for a very long period of doing nothing.  definitely should have had a meeting but nooo has to be on Thurs. randomly.  then headed to History where we filled out more info sheets and shared them with the class.  not that anyone cared.  anywho.  then to Biology.  made awesome table groups.  haha Annual Vacation Book Friends with Sisters.  then we did a box thing...guess what is in the box. fun fun fun.  lunch finally.  wasn't as hungry as i thought I would be but oh well.  then trig.  that sounds like a fun class...not.  idk.  it might be ok.  know some people in there...huge class like 29.  which stinks cause the other class only had 12...but now we don't have to do as many oral presentations which is good..  yay!  then i came home.  oh and i was surprised- I only got 1 textbook.  I was definitely expecting at least 2 but nope.  history there is not enough and bio books didn't ever get mentioned so Yay!  kinda weird cause both of my major classes last semester had textbooks.  oh well got to go.

End of Semester..Almost!

Yay!  Only 1 more day of regular first semester classes then 2 days of finals!  WooHoo!  so excited for next semester.  it will (hopefully) be much better than this one.  spanish will be done finally!  and biology is gonna be tons of fun!  and lunch omg i can't wait.  i still don't know anyone in my computer class 1st period though.  oh well i'll find out soon enough.  let's see.  this weekend was ok i guess.  course i don't really remember it.  that is so horrible.  Monday we had off.  oh i was sick and kinda still am.  sore throat and congestion..yeah.  that i of course had to give to mom who is now fighting it.  went to Hershey Bear game Sunday night.  Sat. basketball game that Kris cheered at oh and before that we went to the Winter carnival at Dreamwrights that i helped set up.  tons of fun. well i didn't really do anything.  geared towards kids and i had already seen the games too so anyway.  Sunday nothing other than the hockey game...  felt horrible so yeah..  Monday hung out at home...played with Dakota (see previous post)  studied a little actually should be studying now but i already studied a ton so eh it won't be that bad. anywho the Colbert Report is on so i'm gonna go watch that...

Dakota & Me

It's Dakota!

Aww isn't Dakota soo cute?!?!?! Finally got the picture stuff to work. Yay!

New Look!

Wow finally got around to changing the template thing.  had to mess around with the different colors to get everything like this but it's better than Christmas colors still.  And i couldn't figure out how to change the entry text color so I will have to do it manually.  Let's see not much happened today.  got up late and found out Kristina had a basketball game to cheer at 11:00 so i skipped breakfast.  next week it is at 2:00 so that's better.  but anyway.  went to Debbies for lunch.  then headed to Kohl's and Borders to shop kinda.  Dad went to Kohls to exchange a shower curtain for Oma & Opa and we went to Borders to use Gift cards.  I actually used a bunch of them up.  I got the last 2 books in this series I started reading, The Tillerman series.  pretty interesting.  and i got a book that teaches how to knit.  which looks interesting.  i was gonna get a kit at Kohls but idk.  maybe i still will.  then we went to Lowes for curtains.  recycling center then home.  that was pretty much it.  haven't really been doing much here.  tried peoplepc internet service for like 2 seconds.  and we weren't impressed.  it slowed down our computer and it uses Outlook for e-mail which Dad didn't like cause of viruses.  so prolly will cancel that.  already uninstalled it.  we might try NetZero next but I'm not sure.  hopefully we'll get AIM if we switch from Aol. anywho should get ready for bed.  we prolly are gonna go ice skating tomorrow.  and try to give Dakota a bath which reminds me.  i should load the picture software on this computer again... 

Friday!!!!

Yay! Finally the weekend.  not much going on. starting to prepare for finals.  Got thinking about which one I'm going to exempt.  Probably Spanish cause i exempted last years English and Crafts will hopefully be easy.  And Gym of course has no final.  So that leaves Spanish.  I mean it would probably be very easy anyway but i would rather not take it.  So will have to check on that. 

Today was ok i guess.  nothing much.  we had a weird schedule because of the winter sports pep rally we had.  Span-boring took a vocab quiz and reviewed all of the vocab and grammar.  watched the stupid grammar videos.  HR-didn't have it  Eng-eh not too bad.  talked about Mark Twain most of the time.  and how we are skipping most of this unit cause of recent events.  that's about it oh and we read this short story about a bad little boy named Jim.  by Mark Twain.  that was a wonderful story.  :sarcasm:  Lunch- very quiet mostly.  Becky wasn't there.  kinda reminded me of how Tara said a phone conversation between me and Brittni would be like.  ie very long pauses in between talk.  anyway Becky came towards the end.  Crafts-finally finished my basket.  McBrien said she would grade it "later" so hopefully that means this weekend.  then we talked about our sculpture things that we are doing.  oh my.  anywho.  Gym-very boring.  there was absolutely nothing to do.  the guys took up the big gym and the auxiliary gym with basketball until most of the way through the period.  and the sub kept bugging us to do something.  we wanted to just sit on the bleachers.  then we had the pep rally.  oh my that was exciting.  those pies were not a good idea.  the one ended up all over the floor and someone sweatshirt not to mention Abby's pants.  what a mess!  and then somehow ice got all over the floor.  so we had to clean it up before the cheerleaders went but then they started so we stopped.  i felt like an idiot.  then i heard that Tyler had been telling Abby to wait until after the whole thing so...

oh well i have to take the dog out. buh bye

School after Break

Well we had school today.  unlike many other school districts and many people didn't have to work either.  that's not fair.  oh well it wasn't that bad.  Span. ehh  Nagorny read a statement about Steff to the class.  other than that nothing happened much.  Hr.  voted on money for the Scott family. nothing else watched Abby do a Spanish oral and read the drivers manual.  Eng. was interesting.  6 students went to the viewing so that left 5.  Mrs. Bond also went so we had a study hall type period in the library.  then when Mrs. Bond came back she gave us our final essays back.  Yay!  I got a 96%!!!  I was so proud of myself.  oh and our poetry projects aren't due until Wed. now.  lunch was ok.  next semester will be much better though.  Crafts was ehh we worked on our baskets some more.  we are supposed to get them done around Wed. so I will have to work hard on it.  Gym was fun.. we finally played hockey.  it wasn't as fun as field hockey but it was ok.  and that was my day.  came home and played with Dakota.  that's about it I should prolly go eat and work on my homework some.  oh and i have spanish homework to do too!  Darn!

RIP Steff Scott

Steff Scott 8/5/89 - 12/29/05  Everyone is going to miss her.  Even if I wasn't close friends with her English will be very different without her there.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Yay!  Tomorrow is the last day of this year!  Let's see Sat. morning we headed up to new york and that night we went to the church for the Christmas Eve service.  hardly anybody was there.  people who don't usually come came but the regulars didn't seem to show up so normal amount of people but not normal people.  anywho.  Sunday spent a lot of time w/ family.  people popped in and out all day.  Monday we had a party at the log cabin.  that was fun.  adults exchanged secret santa things and most of the close family was there.  oo and we also played this present trading game like 3 time.   that was fun.  Wed. we went to get a puppy!!! Yay!  He is a bichon frise (little white dog) that we named Dakota.  he is sooo cute.  he is around 8 weeks old.yeah i'll have to put a cute picture on here sometime soon.  came home today. took cats to vet i yi yi.  we tried the crate approach w/ Lovable but neither of them like the car or the vet so it didn't work well.  i think the crate just kept her in one place where we could get to her easier.  Dakota has an appointment next wed. but he seems to do well in the car.  mostly sleeps but that is better than throwing up or howling.  oh my i can't imagine 4 hours in a car with a throwing up dog.  anywho.  got cool stuff for Christmas.  i will elaborate upon question unless i forget which for some reason i tend to.  the puppy and a guitar were the 2 big ones.  oh and oma and opa gave Kristina and I wooden chests.  they're cool too.  oh well it's supper time cya

Christmas Break!!!

yay!  Just got home from an early dismissal from school.  now I am getting snow conditions at Ski roundtop on the website.  Today was fun...and not educational at all.  In Span. we had a party where we had food and drinks.  we pretty much just sat around and talked and listened to spanish music stuff.  In English we had more food and drinks and we watched the rest of Jim Carrey's How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  That was fun.  haha we were gonna be mean and not let Mr. McCollum's (sp?) or Miss Brown's classes in the room.  but then Mr. McCollum's never came so eh.  Oh i skipped hr.  we amended Heather's motion and added $100 more dollars to the money for the Kingsboroughs.  apparently their father died and now their church won't let them stay in their house for more than 6 more months.  that really stinks.  anyway.  Lunch was boring.  I decided that I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat anything.  and Briitni was on the brass ensemble tour thing so she wasn't there and Becky ditched me.  so I had noone to talk to.  Crafts was ok.  worked on our baskets some more today.  no party though.  I will have to show everyone my pretty basket.  And Gym.  not much.  Mrs. McGhee was back today.  haha Abby hugged her.  we played soccer in the auxiliary gym.  poor paige tripped and cut her knees.  and Abby kept "hugging" me in the middle of the game so i couldn't move.  haha then when we were carrying mats to the weight room somehow she got out of carrying anything.  errr...  anyway i said that i would type up this story so here goes...

 

Once there was a snowman, who was rolling down a hill, hit a tree, and died.  Later that day there was a young girl who found a carrot, 2 pieces of coal, a button nose, and a corncob pipe.  She said, "these look like the parts of a snowman, who was rolling down a hill, hit a tree and died."  She took the parts to a snowman specialist and he said, "these look like the parts of a snowman, who was rolling down a hill, hit a tree, and died."  So he put them in a museum and labeled them: Parts of a snowman, who was rolling down a hill, hit a tree and died.  A couple years later a daughter asked her father, "What are those?"  He said, "Those are the parts of a snowman, who was rolling down a hill, hit a tree, and died.  Later...

 

Yay!

Christmas Party!!!

Yay!  Just got home from Abby's Christmas party!  That was fun.  Let's see.  everyone of the pollyanna people were there except Jillian.  and TJ was there last night.    We stayed up til around 1:30-ish.  I think i was half-sleeping most of the night after 11:00 but idk.  i know i was sleeping from 2 til 6:30 when Abby's mom's alarm went off and it was very loud.  didn't do much.  exchanged presents.  i got a stuffed teddy bear that is very soft and some Ghirardelli chocolate squares.  yum!  well not much now.  not sure what we are going to do today.  oh well cya

Snowball Dance...Yawn

Yeah..that was the worst dance that i've been to.  well idk.  prolly only cuz noone was there and I didn't feel like partaking in the dance.  let's see - showed up around 6:30 to find a few senators and the Bonds and Mr. Sipe.  didn't have anything to do so kinda wandered/ listened to conversations.  til about 7:30-ish when Abby finally shows up.  sheesh Abby.  then we kinda sat around and talked a little til 8:00 is when we went for our concession stand shift.  kinda slow 20 minutes.  anyway.  then Abby left and I listened to more conversations.  Ashley introduced herself to me like i didn't who she was.   so kinda talked to her.  then Dad came i came home.  fun.  saw Tara, Courtney, and other people i knew.  more senators showed up than i thought would.  also more people showed up too.  heard we sold around 150 tickets so that's like $450 + concessions.  course we also spent like $500-something on the DJ, which seems to be a lot.  It was the same one as homecoming so idk prolly could have gotten one for a little cheaper.  but i think our goal was to break even so we came pretty close i think. 

 

Ok more about non-boring stuff.  Today- Krissy cheered for her first basketball game.  i think NEYSA won but of course they don't keep score.  Dad got the snowmobile running but i didn't get outside in time to ride so maybe this week sometime.  I was inside working on Christmas card stuff.  mainly labels but we need to work on the actual message on the paper.  Tomorrow is what dad said but we are going to be busy.  going to get our Christmas tree in the morning. and Krissy has a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese to go to at noon.  don't know what we'll do then but i'm sure we'll be very busy.  oh well i'm tired and it's late.  and i have to feed Sidney, fish and tons of other stuff. 'Night

First Snow Day

Yay!  It's our first snow day of this year.  It snowed around 8 inches probably and now we have no school.  Three-day-weekend!!! we will have to decorate some..after going outside of course.  tomorrow is the dreaded Snowball dance i think Abby and I are convinced that it is going to be very boring.  oh and noone is going to be there.  yeah and we are supposed to be there by 6:30.  and stay after 10 to clean up..  err.  definitely not a good idea anymore. oh well i'm sure it won't be that bad.  hopefully.  this weekend is going to be ok other than that.  have to get a tree.  in the snow that will be fun!  probably cold though.  finish decorating inside maybe more Christmas shopping.   went shopping last night.  got a birthday present for Kristi's one friend.. and other stuff for christmas.  oh well think i'm gonna go outside buh bye

It's December!!!

Wow! It definitely doesn't feel like Christmas or December. Lets see. nothing much has been happening. worked at the Craft Show thing at Conewago last night. now I don't want to wrap anymore presents. yea I ended up wrapping kids' gifts for 3 hours. It was crazy. oh and I finally e-mailed that kennel place about Lola (the puppy that I want). Stupid people. They definitely read the e-mail on Wednesday and didn't send me any sort of reply. errr...hopefully I hear from them soon. Nothing is going on this weekend. We probably will clean up/decorate for Christmas. Won't that be fun. I have to work on my rough draft for English. It seems like it is going to be very hard to write. 3-5 pages-a yi yi. next weekend on the other hand is looking to be very busy... maybe. idk. oo and we need to drop off our travel bug too. i'll have to remind ppl...

Err... i just checked petfinder for lola and she isn't listed anymore. :( Darn!! hopefully I can find another cute puppy...
