Mmm...back from San Antonio.
Today was quite an interesting day...got to church at like 4:15, helped set up, rain rain rain, got REALLY wet, cold cold cold, everyone freaked out, played in South side, volleyballll, jermy spoke good, taco bell, HS band played, jermy spoke good again, volleyball volleyball volleyball!!!! love it.
REALLY sore. REALLY gross (er, I was. I just took a shower so I feel greatly refreshed).
excited about summer. end of story.
I'm not exactly sure what I want to post about, but I feel like I should post. It's been a couple days.
I will not, unfortunately, post about Lost. I've been talking about it/listening to others talk about it so much lately. I'd rather just let everything be up in the air than analyze everything and guess what's going to happen, to be completely honest.
Me and daddy just went to Pappasitos! Mmmmmm. We had some good food and some good conversation. We mostly talked about what we think my future husband is going to be like :) I love thinking about that. It's this huge mystery. A bunch of puzzle pieces in my mind that I want to be able to put together. Of course, I won't know exactly what he's like 'till I meet him. Part of me wants to be surprised; part of me wants to know NOW. But, that's just the girl in me. I suppose all I can do is pray that God is preparing him for me. Of course, if you have an input, you can always comment your opinions ;)
Eh, I've been feeling so "awkward" lately. I don't even really know why. I just haven't been able to feel fully comfortable around any given group of people. Or any singular person. I haven't felt like I can be truly myself around someone in a while. I can only think of one person that I've always felt like I can be myself around (besides family). But, ya know. c'est la vie.
This has been a predominantly pointless post (alliteration!), so I apologize.
Oh. My. Goodness.
I'll probably spill all of my predictions/commentary on the episode later. But I'm still kind of in shock-mode. That episode ROCKED! I don't know why some people don't like it or think that we "haven't gotten any answers". The writers are brilliant. I never in a million years would have guessed what happened at the end of that episode.

Is my new favorite person!
Besides Michael Vartan, of course.
I'm not sure I like the overused phrase "swallow your pride". I'd much rather just throw it up.
I suppose that since it's the end of the year I should do some sort of reflecting.
I'll go by class...
French - Madame Champagne
wow, easiest class I've ever pretty much took. I liked mrs champagne, but I don't think she teaches very well. She doesn't challenge us. I actually made some friends in this class. It took a while, but by the end of the year I mostly talked to Emily and Wyatt. very interesting class. Several were barely ever there, half were borderline failing...I still don't understand why. but anyways, that class was always fun, mostly because my teacher really liked me (I had the highest average, which she reminded us all of often), and so I could do pretty much whatever I wanted. I'm lucky to have this class first period because Andrew's so-called "system" has indeed failed several times and I've been late a few days, but she doesn't really care. And yes, this is the class with that cute boy, but he got decreasingly attractive in about a week when I realized how not intelligent he was. All in all, however, this class was pretty neat. We watched Beauty and the Beast in French, we watched several movies about france, and me and Emily played a few games of checkers. she beat me each time. Mostly, I didn't do anything in that class. I stopped getting embarassed in there about half a year through.
after this class I would always meet up with Taylor and Amalie and walk outside, and then they'd go to WHAP while I'd go back inside toward algebra.
Algebra 2 - 1st sem. Mrs. Morin, 2nd sem. Ms. Gee
This class was really easy. I actually got this certificate thingie for having the highest average. I've always been really good at math. I loooooved mrs. morin. she was so tight. but Ms. Gee....was really like condescending and stuff. She liked me, but she was always like yelling at everyone and making us feel stupid. but yeah. As for friends, I honestly didn't really make many friends in these classes. I had Alyson second semester and Jessica in first, but they aren't like great friends or anything. More like just people that I know better than the others in the class. There were some pretty annoying people in Ms. Gee's class second semester. It got really obnoxious. Basically, they thought they were the bomb.
I then would walk with Nikki, and then she would go to english and I would go to WHAP.
World History AP - Mrs. Lawrence
Ahh, whap. That class was invented by the devil. I really liked my teacher, and the people in the class (I made some friends! Rachel, Sabeena, and Anh mostly), but the actual class...so stressful. Powernotes, really hard tests, the month before the AP test. I honestly don't really want to think about this class right now. hardest class I've ever taken. but it's over! So...sweet. And I ended with a 92 for this semester. And I made my goal of having A's for all of the semesters! I think that I ended up victorious in this class, more or less regardless of the grade I made on the actual AP test. I gave it everything that I could give, and I can honestly say that I tried as hard as I could, so I don't feel like a failure.
A lunch, 1st sem.
I sat with Bree and Andrew (my bro!) and Ryan. It was a good lunch! I always love being able to be with Bree. She's so tight. I enjoyed all of our plotting (our elaborate plans to steal the snack cart, to skip school, to bring a sprinkler to school...love it!), all of our complaining together, spieling, etc. She made my days fun =) The highlight of this year food-wise, I must say, was FRENCH BREAD PIZZA DAYS. I discovered these about 1/4 into the year. Basically, every tuesday and thursday...French Bread Pizza. I can't even start to describe how amazing those things are. they are the reason I got up on tues. and thurs. NOT even kidding.
Chemistry with Mrs. Boulanger (Mrs. B) 1st sem, Health with Coach Jones 2nd sem.
Chemistry 4th period was disgusting. I don't really like thinking about it, haha. I made some friends, namely Josh. and Madi was in that class. That was interesting. As for the actual class, it was really easy. but Mrs. B isn't really a good teacher, at all. She's really nice and stuff if you go up to her and stuff, but like in front of the class, she's just horrible. But anyways. This class was torture a lot of the time because I was like right in the middle of my side of the room and I was pretty much the only one who knew what they were doing over there, and so like I would get bombarded by questions on all sides of me each day. I answered them of course and helped as much as I could, but a lot of the time it really wore me out. and that class is TWO HOURS LONG. bleh. heck-hole....seriously. as for 2nd sem, though, health was eeeasyyyyyyy. And, I'm not even kidding, we probably watched just shy of 20 movies in there. And not even included the health-related movies. Since that class is 2 hours long as well, and our class was always done early and ahead of all the other classes, like all we did was watch movies. I got a lot of homework done in that class. and I made some friends in this class too =) mostly Charis, Kelsey, Taylor, and Yessica. I sat right next to Sam McGuffie's brother! his name's Jacob. he's a freshman. and Coach Jones is reallly tiiight.
2nd sem. D lunch
This one I sat with Taylor and her band friends, and I made friends with these two cute asian girls that sat to my right =) About 10 min before lunch ended, taylor would go back to the band hall, and so I would go sit by Amalie and her orchestra friends, with whom I also became with (Theresa, Nicole, and Audrey). that was exciting. lunch was really fun! I missed having it with Bree, though. And 12:00 is way too late to have lunch. lol. but all in all, I liked it.
Comm. App with Mrs. Long 1st sem, Chemistry with Mrs. B 2nd sem
comm app was verrry interesting. easy class, but it was mostly the people that were interesting. I really didn't like getting up in front of the class, though. But I sat next to Austin O'neal! that was tight. and made friends, Kansas and Goose (the DDR guy that was at Christmas on the Highway). so that was neat. I honestly don't remember much about the class. so, Chemistry. mrs b was even more of an annoyingly bad teacher this sem. she like stopped answering questions two months into this one. but still an easy class, haha. but yeah. I made some friends in this one too! Maggie, Lindsey, and Natalie. OH MY GOSH, and I had this class with Amalie!! love that girl. I got to sit right next to her, which was in the seat I sat in the previous semester. I would have not have enjoyed that class if it weren't for ammie. but really glad chemistry is over. I mean, I have to take it next year (Chemistry 2), but I'll have mrs compton, who actually teaches. so, tiiight!
English with Mrs Rasmussen (Mrs. Raz)
I'm pretty sure that this was my favorite class! and mrs raz was my fave teacher. by far! I don't know what made this class so good. the people were all pretty funny, and we all got along. it was just neat. and it was the end of the day, so it always had that feel to it. Mrs. Raz is just soo coool. she's so funny and such a good teacher. I'm going to miss her next year! but I really hope that I get Mrs. Cogburn. Anyways, Bree was in this class!!! that made it extra-tight. and I made some friends - Will (who is pretty much the most interesting person I've ever met), Nicole, Nihad, and Matt (who I didn't even know was hilarious till like a month ago). such a neat class. I'll miss it!
and then after this class me and bree would stop by my locker sometimes, then walk outside and she would turn and go to where her parents were picking her up after we got by where the parking lot is. I enjoyed soo much those times after school just talking with bree. and then when I got to the parking lot, andrew was always with Daniel and Ryan, so I would join them... and those times were always interesting, hahaa.
All in all, a great year.The hardest year yet (but only because of WHAP), but better than last year. I made a loot more friends than I did last year, though I still didn't even make that many this year. I became increasingly more comfortable at school and less awkward. And I made all A's! I feel very accomplished. With that said, I'm not going to miss school this summer, though. Summer is here. and I am infinitely excited!!!
I'm going to go grab some music, sunglasses, and water and tan in the backyard.
I love summer!
I'll post something worth reading later.
Alrighty, this is my first official post. There is still obvious tweaking that needs to be done to this site, but I'm just tryin' to figure this thing out!
p.s. summer is here
!!!!!!!!!!!!
