School hurts my back...

My bag is heavy... APUSH hurts my back and my head with its heavy hard-to-read book.

But on the plus side I get to take Model UN!
And and and that's going to be fun!

and i have humanities tomorrow and it shall be awesome!

Big brother's watching you...

Wow... I never really thought of grade programs as a way to "spy" and "watch every move" of student in a school... but my school obviously did...

The principal scared me half to death with her speech. She gave no other real information, just that they were watching us...
The middle school presentation was apparently much better... or so my mom says...

But anyways, I got to go and meet my teachers yesterday and it seems, as it does every year, that I am in over my head...

Here's the general gist:

Italian: Usual language teacher, she teaches Italian and Spanish but I don't think she speaks either fluently... but she seems to have a good plan and seems really nice.

APUSH: The man is crazy. 7/30 got 3s and 4s on the exam...only 5 got As in his class... can anyone tell me Perruso's stats?

Psysics: Seems okay...

Chorus: I'm not quite sure about it yet...she seems nice, but it's kinda new to me.

Most everything else is a blur...but AP Language...its gonna be crazy but fun...

I saw this puppy...

We were on a tour today out in town, when I saw the little mutt italian dog I thought he was cute so I was petting him and then the owner tried to give him to me...
too bad i cant have a doggie...
if i go back i shall take a photo of him and call him my puppy away from home.

Speaking of dogs... has anyone heard of the Alaskan Klee Kai... very very adorable mini huskies... not the real thing....but still very cute... and so tiny!

My humanities teacher just saved my butt...

I was walking to the library when I ran into her and asked about the reading list...and the book I couldn't find anywhere. She said...wait a sec, and then asked the office guy if he had a copy... he did... any she saved my butt... that is all.

oh. and i was crazy enough to give up my study hall for chorus when i have two AP classes, physics, pre-calc, bussiness, italian, and humanities.

I slept for 14 hours...

Stupid jet lag.

Well, we are here. Finally. And its, erm, interesting. The environmental club at the high school has got their hands full to say the least...

Everything here is so close, I shall be able to walk to school...and get up later and not catch the bus at 645...thankyouverymuch.

Life is interesting. Everything happens for a reason, I guess, so I might as well make the best of where I'm stuck...
:)
Email me people!

Pretty plants...

Today I got to sleep in (Yay!) and then we went to the mall because we are still stuck here and can't travel far. But anyways, we went to Khols, but we didn't go to Krispy Kreme (which makes me sad), and then we went and looked at the rest of the usual mall stuff (aka Bath and Body Works and Hallmark). But then we went to look at the pet store. They had the cutest puppies... they had a fluffy dog that looked like a black bear and a tiny brown chiwawa that marched like a little horse... I just wanted to sit and hug one all day long...

Then we went to the botanical gardens which were amazing with all of the roses and the little kids park... it was really nice...

And I just found out I have to be out of the hotel room in 20 minutes, so Ciao!

Dark Knight...

...Is possibly the most violent film I have ever watched. I almost left. The Joker was a great actor and I really like Christian Bale... but I was upset that the dialogue was not all that great. They had some fantastic actors there, and they didn't use them really to their full potential.

With all the violence and death and doom, I had hoped for more big explosions in the film... Also, I wanted a happy ending. Why go to a movie to see depressing stuff? If I wanted depressing stuff, I'd watch the news!

I think the US did very well last night in gymnastics and we shouldn't be focusing on that poor girl's fall. China was the favorite and they won. They sure did look a little young though... eh, the Americans looked older. It's everyones' height that messes with my mind. And that they all can do it all so well! Everyone that I saw preform was fantastic. Good job. Stepping up and preforming for your country is what the Olympics are about.

Enjoy life...

I am on my way to Italy... eventually.
Silly plane was delayed...This trip went by so fast, and I saw so much...

It's amazing how the country is alike, and how different...

We went out to eat after Busch Gardens yesterday and it was almost closing time but everyone was extremely polite and friendly. And the teenagers where we got ice cream in Maryland were polite and willing and ready to help. They overheard my dad ask for something and got it for him before he even addressed them...

I guess people here are just more content. They are fine with their jobs and aren't so worried about being ahead of others. I think people should just make the choice to be happy, what good does it do to be upset constantly. Enjoy life.

There are all these challenges that people complain about. But they don't DO anything. DO something.
Be part of a solution. Or at least enjoy what you do.

I'm sitting in a laundrymat...

I am sitting here in a laundrymat. Our stupid flight was delayed 24 hours. I am not a happy duck. I am ready to leave and be done with the hurry up and wait.

Yesterday I went to Busch Gardens and went on two of the five big roller coasters... I was very proud of myself.

4 short days...

Till I wake up and I am in a different country.

So after my grandparents we headed up to Norfolk... taking the long stupid route from Orlando to NJ and then flying backwards on a propeller plane to Norfolk.

We met some friends who came down to meet us to go to the Breaking Dawn release and stayed up to go to that and got 4th place in line... to those who do not care: :P

The next day we went up to the place with the huge president heads and then to Williamsburg where it was hot.

Then we were in DC. We went to the Natural History and Air and Space Museum and the next day we went to monuments, and the day after that we just hung out and then went to great falls and my dad's college roomate's house. Wednesday we went to Arlington and the zoo so I could go and see the very cute pandas...

After the Zoo we drove up further North to visit family and friends. We went swimming and then yesterday went to Oregon Ridge Park and then to the Cow place and the Oriole game! 9-1!
The only run the Rangers got was off of their player who hadn't had a hit until this game... then he hit a single and then a home run... I was happy for him... until the crowd booed... :)

I have yet to see the Olympics. I heard it was neat but I didn't have time to watch because we were talking about world powers for a long time after the game... and once we started talking about snipers, my mom told me I had to go to bed... :P
