With the last blog date just under a month ago, I thought I'd fill you all in on why I haven't blogged in so long. Well:



1. School is out. So now I'm home, and there really isn't much to tell about. I sleep a lot. About 11 hours a day. I haven't see anyone in weeks, which is very lonely, but everyone's on holiday right now, and it's sort of hard to see people who are miles away. And also because the most interesting thing I did today was study the minor (but interesting!) differences… Continue

Ally says hello. That's because she's sitting next to me as I write this. So is Claire. Because we are ditching class today. And my class is... quilting, and it's um, about 5 yards away from where I'm sitting right now. Oh, and Ally thinks she's the best person ever, and I agree completly. Can you tell that she's got a knife to my throat right now? Not really. just kidding. Ahhh, cool people. They have so, so much to learn. And occasionally, I really like hanging out with them. Because Ally… Continue

So, I had to give a speech in front of my English class, which I was supposed to write and reherse. Which I did. And I hated it. This wasn't what I wanted to say about school!!

I started talking about my music tastes, which are a little different, mostly… Continue

So, in my history class, there's this British guy, and he was in a Harry Potter movie! I mean, seriously, that's just about the coolest nerdy thing that anyone can do EVER. And we call him London. Because as far as any of us are concerned, that is who he is. He has this picture of him and all the Potter stars, and it's signed by all of then. Freaking awesome. But, see, in the photo he's kind of... fat. He isn't any more, but well, yeah. And everyone was laughing about it, and Ali, whose sitting… Continue

So, today I had to climb up all these stairs, like, 50 of them. And I tried to walk up them normally, because it was kind of a fancy ceremony thing that I was going to, and I couldn't! Like, physically, I could not walk up the stairs that slowly. It HURT to go so slowly, in my legs, like a dull, aching pain. And then I just gave up, and ran up them, two at a time. That's how I've always gone up stairs, and I found out, I can't do it any other way. Tradition can, apparently, lead to so not so… Continue
