Even though it feels like the dead of summer, it is officially autumn! That excites me, only about a month more of unbearable heat!!!!!! By Halloween we will be cooler!
I will first say, this post will be short. Please contain your sadness. My allergies are going bonkers and I cannot sit and stare at the computer for very long. Which happens to stink because all of my homework this evening is on the computer. But, I will manage.
So, yesterday I didn't have to go to school. I , instead, went to pick up my letter of recommendation from Blair. That was an adventure! (Hmph) But it was wonderful to see her and I enjoyed my self nonetheless.
When I got home last night from my visit (home as in where mom and dad live) I was supposed to take Brittany to urgent care but she threw a fit, therefore sparking a war between mom and her. Therefore causing mom to relapse into poor health, therefore my missing class this morning and rehearsal last night. I am all good though, emailed the director/teacher and all is good. I made it back to campus today, thanks to Jill and Haleigh (OMG that was such a fun frigging car ride! NOT). Went to calculus, went and grabbed a bite to eat, and am now about to journey into homework land.
Tomorrow I resume my english class (O I cannot wait).
Glad to have you aboard Lindsey! Hope you feel better, Allison. And Tom, don't forget me when you become famous in 4 years.
Until the sun will set again....
Bon Appetit!

Double Whammy!
OK, So I just had a great weekend! I went down to Tucson to visit with Lindsey and I decided not to tell Allison I was coming. We planned the whole thing out...it was great. When I finally surprised her she screamed so loud, someone probably thought she was getting murdered!
Also, we went to the movies. I HAVE OFFICIALLY REACHED MY GOAL; I HAVE SEEN MAMMA MIA! 10 TIMES! On the way home from the movies we made a wrong turn and ended up 25 miles outside of Tucson....in the middle of the desert....we were fine...it's kind of a really funny story now....BUT....There is a movie A Cry in the Dark about a woman who lives in Australia and, while camping, sees a dingo exit the tent where her baby was sleeping and her baby goes missing. However the court thinks she murdered her baby, and after 3 years in jail finally realize (oops) she didn't do it....It is based on a true story too...but In the movie she screams, "The dingo's got my baby." We were in the middle of the desert and Lindsey said that line, but there are no dingos in AZ so I changed the line to (imagine with a bad Australian accent) The coyote's got my baby". It was funny to us....
We had a great time together...I almost didn't want to come home, except I am seeing Blair tomorrow and am so excited for that....
ALSO:
I was asked this weekend, by my little sister Jessica (actually your sister Tom, but she is mine too) to do her hair and make-up for homecoming next weekend! I am so excited, she is the little sister I never had!
What else...oh...ALlison wins the mad lib contest..But I have decided that if you feel like doing my random mad-libs cool, however, I do not think there will be anymore prizes....they are just too difficult for me to come up with....I am sorry, if that makes you decide to not do them....fine I will find a way to entertain myself.....
As for the person who should not be named (and yes Tom, you were correct..and your falling out had nothing to do with mine....) ... I have a new outlook on life: 1) What's happened has already happened 2) What will happen will happen 3) I have to accept things the way they are and as they come 4) I cannot let what has happened stand in the way of what is to come 5) My time will come, and it will be well worth the wait! 6) I am so blessed and lucky to have 5 amazing friends who will do anything for me and love me unconditionally 7) My family rocks and I am lucky to have such a great family 8) I have my whole life ahead of me, what is happening now will only make me stronger for the future AND 9) My future will be amazing, it will be filled with loving friends and family, a great successful life, and I will be happy...as I am now!
What else.....
Mamma Mia! comes out on DVD on Dec. 16th!!!!!!!!!! I know what I will be doing that day!!!!!
Oh...the double whammy....do I dare explain.....well......lets just say....it will be a chapter in my book (when/if I write it)...dealing with incest lesbians.......
I have to go... I want to straighten my hair before I go to bed...and yes it is early but I have to be up at 6 tomorrow...I am going to see Blair!!!!!
To infinity and _____________ (lets see who decides to do this one)
Bon Appetit!

I'm slipping...I know
Here we go again, I missed a day. I am sorry. I will try to stay on top of things (leave it Tom). Speaking of Tom....I may be obsessed, but I like being obsessed!!!!!!
And the winner, by default, is Tom. Allison didn't enter.
I am sorry you do not like your Canadian medal...I couldn't think of anything else...
Today, you win.......
^ ^
o o
u
\___/ a smiley face (it's better than a Canadian Medal....right?) (It's the thought that counts)
Yesterday, I had that bio exam.....
Easier than I expected, but that could be a bad thing, but I think I did well...I will know tomorrow. I also had the conference with my english teacher. She has no idea what she is doing in my opinion. Basically she told me everything that I learned in high school about how to write is wrong...when I know it isn't....
But whatever...then I had rehearsal, that was fun. I really am excited about this project. I wish we had more rehearsals in a week but, we only have 2.
Today:
I had acting class, I love that class!!!! So Much!!!!
I also had Lab Bio, I cannot wait to get into more interesting stuff...like dissecting squid! I can't wait! But we did a lab about natural selection and evolution (Allison, do you remember in Dole's class doing that lab with the piece of cloth and the little hole punched pieces of colored paper, and we distributed them on the cloth and had to pick 25 of them quickly...and the moral of the lab is the ones that blend in with the environment survive.....that's the lab we did today).....
Then I had calculus....she wants me to sign an honors contract and get honors credits for the class...I love that class because i feel so smart!!! :)
I get to sleep in tomorrow morning!!!!! I don't have english again until next Wed.!!!!!!
I will probably watch a movie online, or the rest of The Dick Van Dyke show season one....then go to sleep, and then wake up late!! I don't have to really get up until at least 9!!!! I am so excited!!!!!!!!!
I want to rant for a second.....
It is over something stupid but I want to share with you all my issue...
It is stupid because it has to do with myspace...but our generation is "run" on websites now, and something said on myspace means something...
Anyway...I had this friend, he was one of my closest friends ever, I could tell him anything, we had a ball together, he was/is great...then he got a girlfriend....this girlfriend had/has him whipped...and e stopped talking to me...I figured she would co off to college and we could piece our friendship back together...but the other day I went on myspace and realized he wasn't on my friends list, so I looked into it and it turns out he deleted me from his friends and blocked his profile...I was so hurt, I am still hurt...and I mean yeah it is just myspace, but our friendship meant a lot to me...and I miss him and I had hope...but by his recent action it makes things more permanent in a negative direction.... I am really hurt...but what is done is done, and what is to come is to come...I have decided to stop trying so hard to make things happen, I am going to let them happen as they are supposed to.... I have my new college life ahead of me and he will be the sorry one...what goes around comes around...it's almost my turn for something great to happen....
I can't say that...I have amazing friends and an amazing family...and I am so blessed for many things! My only concern is what is going to happen on Monday, when I go back to the High School to pick up my letter of recommendation and visit with B, I am bound to see him at some point...but I have a feeling he will just ignore me like he did the last time he saw me.... No biggie...I will just work extra hard to look good, look happy, and look like I don't think about him anymore.....I have moved on, according to him....you all will back me up right? And Tom, this is a subject I really don't want you to mock me about...I am really upset over this...I need your support...not your bull....and don't try to say that is your support....I know you have a better heart than that for me....
Really changing the subject
"You're simply the best!" -Tina Turner (or Jim Carey at AFI Lifetime Achievement Awards for Meryl Streep) (really great clip...look it up on youtube! it's on my favs)
It is still pretty early but I am going to go watch the Dick Van Dyke show to make me feel better, I would love to watch The First Wives Club or Mamma Mia! right now but that isn't an option!
Good Night all, sweet dreams, and if the bed bugs bite-bite 'em back!
Oh...I need a mad-lib.....
If you ever catch on fire, remember: Stop, Drop and _____________ (if you say roll, you are disqualified)

Belated Post
I am so sorry I did not post yesterday. I do not know what came over me.
So I will start with yesterdays doings....
I signed up for my english conference: I got tomorrow. So, I don't have class on Fri or Mon! (Well I don't have english, but I have my other classes). Bio was Bio....More Darwin stuff...I think we get it by now! Rehearsal was cancelled. And the time was returned to 5:30 instead of 7...so, Allison, I will be walking there in daylight, and you don't have to worry.
Yesterday I also watched She Devil it was so bad it was good! The story line and screenplay was horrid but to the point of hilarity. Meryl Streep was hysterical. She is so versatile. But this was one of my favs of her...then again all of her characters are my favs....I'm not obsessed though...there is a difference...she is just my idol...don't judge me....I mean, you can, but it won't change my opinion or anything....
Moving on...to Today!
I had acting, which was amazing! turns out the monologue I thought I needed for today (which I didn't have prepared) isn't due until the 23rd, so I have time...but I will jump on it so I am prepared.... We worked on soft focus which is where you don't make eye contact with any object or person, (it's difficult to explain) you are aware of everything but aren't focused on any one thing....I found it easy because it was like dazing out...you know when you are aware of everything but are like paralyzed, and someone waves their hand in front of your face...I do that all the time, so this came rather naturally.... Then we did Colombian Hypnotism...which is where you have a partner, and one person is A and the other is 1....to start person A holds out their hand (with the palm facing their partner) and you lead your partner...if you are the follower your partner's hand is all that matters to you, it is all you are focused on and you must follow....My partner, as was most of the class, was all giggly and said, "I must look stupid"...when we switched (and i have done this before in HS and I love this) I was 100% focused and into it and when we finished she was in "awe" and was like, "you are so good"...I kind of wanted to say, "duh...I was focused, the whole point of the exercise is to focus...duh" but I didn't.....And I came to a realization (I have thought about it before but ...) And that was... As an actor, people tell me I am good, but I cannot see myself act...when I am on stage I become so into the play that afterwards I don't remember being on stage (for instance, when tandace and I did Your Mother's Butt supposedly someone in the audience made a remark and I don't remember hearing anything...) It's weird....But when I act I try to throw myself into what I am doing, just letting go, sometimes it is more difficult but it just makes it so much more fun to really "become" whatever I am doing...Recently I have heard, on like three different accounts from three different people (some of which weren't even directed to me but I still connect them with myself) that in acting you are where you need to be when you can let yourself go to the point where you become lost in piece...and, jumping back a little, sorry, when people tell me I am good I kind of just look at them , because I am a modest person...I am not egotistical (except when talking about singing at thespian conference...we got an excellent...that's just funny though...right Tom?)...but taking all of this in I feel (I can't explain it right but I will try) I feel like I a on the right track...if I pursue acting, I know I have so much to learn I am not saying I am amazing because I know I'm not and I want to work to that...but I don't know if any of this makes sense or if I am just going on and on....It just makes me feel good knowing I am doing something right....
Anyway... in between Acting and Calculus...I watched an episode of the Dick Van Dyke show...I laughed so hard _______________ (next mad-libber)
I am debating on who should win the last one....I would follow Allison's in a heart beat...but Tom's was really funny....and it really can't be a tie because he commented on Allison's ( I mean I am in charge I could make it tie...but it doesn't feel right)...
I think I will give it to Tom...BUT...in the future....NEW RULE (yes I can do that) You cannot use what the other person has said...it's an unfair advantage...and it is not as much fun for me...
BUT for now I will give this one to Tom...you win.....
(Sorry I am a bit distracted...I am listening to Alvin and the Chipmunks sing the Time Warp)
a joke.....
What is green and grows and has little red wheels (I'm just kidding, that is Kristen's joke)
For those of you who are curious about the joke above....Kristen told us this one...the answer is...the grass...I lied about the little red wheels...(cricket chirps)
I really don't know what your prize shall be Tom! I will continue writing and if I think of something I will go from there....
calculus was easy again, we have an exam next Thurs on the stuff we covered up until today...so what we will do this Thurs and next Tues is beyond me...but I was helping this girl today...it made me feel smart! I like calculus!
So I will start with yesterdays doings....

Here is your prize Tom...it is a Canadian Medal
Oh...I forgot to tell you about my Gym experience....
No, Tom it is not a romance novel in the works...honestly he is not good looking at all (not that I was going for that reason, I really want to get into shape..my eating habits have gone to hell since I moved out and I just feel out of shape) Anyway...I had to do some small assessments to see where I would start out...I had to walk as fast as I could on a treadmill without stopping or slowing down for a mile...I walked 4.3 mph and I wanted to kill myself after the 15 minutes it took to walk a mile....ugh! But like 10 minutes after I was back to my dorm relaxing my legs felt better...today though my gluteous maximus is sore and I don't know why...from walking?? I hopefully will go back to the gym tomorrow or Thurs/Fri and keep it up....wish me to break a leg (I don't really want that to happen I just have an actor's vocabulary)....
I have a huge Bio exam tomorrow...if i fail I am required to attend every class for the rest of the semester, which is not good because on Monday i have to go see Blair and I don't have Eng so I was going to take the day off... So pray for me! I believe it is on the scientific method...but it is more complicated than it sounds....
I also have rehearsal tomorrow...we should finally start working! I am excited for that!
Other than that not too much going on.... I will let you know how all of this goes tomorrow evening!
Allison, keep awaiting for your surprise, it will arrive this weekend...I mailed it out and they assured me it will be there! Sorry to keep you on the edge of your seat but it is a surprise!
Bon Appetit!

"You seem so far away, though you are standing near"
Today, I went to the Arizona Cardinal's game with the Sanchez family. We were in a suite...it was so cool! BUT, something even cooler happened. Johnny Depp was at the same exact game...I really like Johnny Depp.....I would love to have a more interesting story for you (like say...we met him....) but I don't. That's right Tom we lied to you. We did not meet Johnny Depp, we were just in the same building (with like 50,000 other people). I thought it was cool!
Other than that my weekend, went by and is now gone.....
Tomorrow is an action packed day!
I have English! Biology (lecture), where we will be getting ready for exam on Wed! I have a meeting with Dave, my personal trainer! AND...I have rehearsal from 7-9! I am tired already actually! I don't have a problem with any of it...my only tiny issue is having to walk home in the dark after rehearsal....I am working on that...I am going to ask people at rehearsal if they will walk with me or give em a ride....if that fails...Wed I will ride my bike there...so I can ride very quickly home.... Please do not worry about me, I am not worried! Allison.
Also, I have a play report due on Thurs. I am trying to decide which one to read. Tom, your opinion will not be considered here, because I know you hate him...My choices are...
Beyond the Horizon
Anna Christie
The Emperor Jones
The Hairy Ape
All by Eugene O'Neill...don't say anything Tom...skip ahead....
As for Mad-Lib contest number 4....the winner is...Allison....because she went the step further....
She wins.....A surprise which she will get on Friday...or sometime this weekend...as long as I mail it out in time....This is that thing I was talking about in another post about this upcoming weekend...I wish I could share but I don't want to give it away...so once I know she got it I will let you all know!
Tom, thank you for sharing your schedule with me. I appreciate it. Although I didn't know until today that you got into the play! Congrats! Oh...and the only issue i had with you possibly going to London (I actually think it is awesome and hope you can go!) is that Linds and I were going to come and visit you over spring break....But when opportunity comes a knocking...I say let them in! You will always have Lindsey and I, you won't always be able to tour in London with an Improv troupe.....
I saw Mamma Mia! again this weekend, that makes 9. Not only do I really enjoy the movie, but I made a statement that I would see it 10 times and I cannot chicken out....So, only one more time to go! I just hope it stays in theatres....that would suck if I got up to 9 and then it stopped showing...I guess there is always dollar theatres.....
I cannot wait to go check my mailbox tomorrow...I should have a netflix movie....She Devil.... I am excited for that!
Oh, Allison, thank you for the monologue suggestion...I would so totally look into it, because i loved that one too...but the next time I plan on seeing B is on the 22nd... and I need to have one picked and memorized I think by Tuesday....so, I am going with one I already know fairly well just to save myself from hours of torture pulling every follicle of my hair out...one by one...
I have an early day tomorrow and had a busy day today (woke up at 5!)...so I am going to retire...
I close with one thought......

Other than that my weekend, went by and is now gone.....
Tomorrow is an action packed day!
I have English! Biology (lecture), where we will be getting ready for exam on Wed! I have a meeting with Dave, my personal trainer! AND...I have rehearsal from 7-9! I am tired already actually! I don't have a problem with any of it...my only tiny issue is having to walk home in the dark after rehearsal....I am working on that...I am going to ask people at rehearsal if they will walk with me or give em a ride....if that fails...Wed I will ride my bike there...so I can ride very quickly home.... Please do not worry about me, I am not worried! Allison.
Also, I have a play report due on Thurs. I am trying to decide which one to read. Tom, your opinion will not be considered here, because I know you hate him...My choices are...
Beyond the Horizon
Anna Christie
The Emperor Jones
The Hairy Ape
All by Eugene O'Neill...don't say anything Tom...skip ahead....
As for Mad-Lib contest number 4....the winner is...Allison....because she went the step further....
She wins.....A surprise which she will get on Friday...or sometime this weekend...as long as I mail it out in time....This is that thing I was talking about in another post about this upcoming weekend...I wish I could share but I don't want to give it away...so once I know she got it I will let you all know!
Tom, thank you for sharing your schedule with me. I appreciate it. Although I didn't know until today that you got into the play! Congrats! Oh...and the only issue i had with you possibly going to London (I actually think it is awesome and hope you can go!) is that Linds and I were going to come and visit you over spring break....But when opportunity comes a knocking...I say let them in! You will always have Lindsey and I, you won't always be able to tour in London with an Improv troupe.....
I saw Mamma Mia! again this weekend, that makes 9. Not only do I really enjoy the movie, but I made a statement that I would see it 10 times and I cannot chicken out....So, only one more time to go! I just hope it stays in theatres....that would suck if I got up to 9 and then it stopped showing...I guess there is always dollar theatres.....
I cannot wait to go check my mailbox tomorrow...I should have a netflix movie....She Devil.... I am excited for that!
Oh, Allison, thank you for the monologue suggestion...I would so totally look into it, because i loved that one too...but the next time I plan on seeing B is on the 22nd... and I need to have one picked and memorized I think by Tuesday....so, I am going with one I already know fairly well just to save myself from hours of torture pulling every follicle of my hair out...one by one...

Origin if BUB
Actually, although I have heard Allison use it many times, it is a yiddish slang word. It is a short version of Bubeleh, which is a term of endearment. However, I have heard it used in many tones (i.e.: sarcasm, endearment, resentment...etc).
But, yes I use yark from Allison. He he he (Thinks of phone conversation between Lindsey and Allison).....
Oh, I am so terribly sorry I for got to mention the winner of mad-lib contest two. It is Tom, because Allison didn't submit an answer....
You, Tom, win..... a Knock Knock Joke.....(sorry)
Knock Knock...(who's there?)
Con...(Con who?)
Con-gradulations Tom!
As far as contest three goes....I am declaring no winner....We will have a rematch....
Allison: I know you love me more, but that reply was a little mean...
Tom: Your response was not original enough...and then you added economics....
But, it is my fault for giving you one that is overdone.....
As for my day....
I had english (woot woot, so much fun!), although.... We are doing a project right now (A profile of a place...I picked the movie theatre)...what you have to do is show how this place is significant in American culture....yada yada yada.....Starting next wed (so, next wed, fri, and the following mon) We have signed up for one-on-one critique time with our teacher...I signed up for wed...so fri and the following mon I have off from class!!!! Friday I will be sleeping in and Monday I will be going to visit Blair! I miss her oh so terrible. (She is my drama teacher from high school, and is now one of my dearest friends. I watch her one year old twins...they are so cute!!!!) So, that made english a bit less mundane.
Then we move on to Lecture Biology....more happy-go-lucky fun there... We talked about evolution...mind you my professor is a roman catholic.....but is still a scientist..... What ever....
Now normally, I have my "Orientation to the Film/Theatre school" class Friday afternoons but today was different. We are selecting mentors. So if your last name is A-L you go at 2...and if your name is M-Z you go at 2:30...so I didn't have to go to class until 2:30...This was the most dysfunctional system ever....All the faculty is separated, by areas of focus, in different rooms. You have to visit more than one room....however, the teachers were leaving after the first round....they talked to one group and that was that....I started in the writing room (playwriting/screenwriting, which I am interested in)...then I went into the acting room and all the teachers, but one, left...I talked with the one but decided to pick my mentor from the writing group...He is Jeff McMahon..he specializes in Acting/Movement/Playwriting, so I think I have the right guy! Hopefully he is the one I end up with, because one of the other teachers mentioned that we will get assign one...but they were as confused as we were......
Then I came home....then I left...I went to the Sanchez household....Hung out, ate dinner, hung out some more.... Tom your family is a laugh riot! OH...sorry Kristen....we had her on speaker phone and Momma Sanchez thought she sounded drink...so, we listened more carefully and she so totally did! But, as we know Kristen very well, she would never talk about alcohol, so it was just bizzare and hilarious!
What else.....
Football game Sunday with the Sanchez's. Tomorrow I get to shop for dorm food.....
And then the routine begins again!
Happy Birthday to Kristen and Lindsey's mom (tomorrow, the 13th, is their birthday!)
Kris is finally 18!!!!!!!!!!!
If she were home we would ____________________. (#4)
(this should be a good one...remember you get one chance to try this one out...If I feel they are both equally worthy...I will figure out to do then)
I am excited because I get to watch TV!!!! Hopefully something good is on!
Quick little agenda for the upcoming week....
MON: At 1 I have an appointment with a personal trainer at the gym at my school, Dave. I want to get back into shape, get on a healthy diet, and take care of my body...so I set up an appointment to take a few assessments to see where I need to start out and where I need to set my goals....I am excited! Also, I have rehearsal at 7-9.
TUES: Nothing comes to mind...
WED: Last day of eng for the week! Bio Exam! Pray for me! (If I fail I am required to come to every class from then on...if that happens I can't go visit Blair!) Rehearsal again.
THURS: I think I have a math exam (either here or Tues...)
FRI: I want to tell my plans but I cannot...until they happen!!!
Overview of my upcoming projects:
I talked about the one i am doing in Eng.
In acting, we are starting monologues....I have yet to pick one...that will be decided this weekend....
In my "Orientation...." class I have a film critique (one that is currently in theatres)...Guess which one I picked....did you guess Mamma Mia!?...if so GO YOU!
I hope that is all I have to do...that is all that comes to mind right now.....
But I am getting sleepy and want to watch some tv...so I will conclude this entry....
Bon Appetit!

"Lady Luck came and found Me"
(Little Shop Lyrics)
Anyway, I want to take a quick moment to express how I feel right now at this very moment.
I was just brought to tears by one of the greatest people I know. Tom, that comment you left me literally filled my eyes with tears. (As well as Allison and Kristen...I had to share this).
You surprise me. One day you can be a big lovable jerk, then, out of no where, you say something so meaningful that it brings people to tears.
I feel so lucky and blessed to have such amazing friends. Tom, Allison, Lindsey, Kristen, and Nicole are so amazing. No matter how far apart we are I can feel their love. You are lucky if you can find one true friend...I have five. I wouldn't replace them with any others. They mean the world to me and I don't know what I would do without them. It may seem difficult at times because we are all over the place, no where near one-another, but it is our love and memories that keep us going. Also the constant thoughts of what the future will brings us, what amazing memories we have yet to make....
I love all of you so much. Words cannot accurately describe my feelings for you all. You have helped to make me who I am today. I cannot imagine where I would be without you in my life. All I do is think of one of you (or all of you) and a smile appears on my face.
Making new friends is strange, and it is a work in progress...but no one can or will ever replace you...it's like that scene in Devil Wears Prada...
When Emily is finding a replacement for Andrea, she says, "You have some very large shoes to fill. I hope you know that."
Well, if anyone tried they would be in the same predicament, however, there is no possible way anyone can fill your guys' shoes....no matter how hard they tried....
I am now at a loss for words on the topic, and I am getting a bit emotional, no tears or anything like that just sappy and lonely....
So, for my own personal health.....I will change the subject.....
One more thing. Thank you Tom.
Thank you for that note and thank you for putting up with me. Thank all of you for putting up with me, and loving me, continuing to stand by me.
Now I really am changing the subject....
Ok, so I have my acting class this morning and I thought I was going to be late. So I am trying to hurry up, I get there and the teacher isn't there yet. So, we all just sort of hang out, talk, wait....and wait....Finally one kid gets up and says he was leaving. So we all contemplate if we should leave or not.. One other person had her number from the syllabus, so we call her... As it is ringing the kid who left called us and said she left an email saying she wasn't going to be in class...I could have slept in!!!!!!! Oh well...
Oh, and this is my longest day of the week, I only have three classes but I don't like walking back and forth from my dorm all day, so I usually leave at 8:30 and don't return until about 4. BUT, since my whole morning was blown, I had a dilemma. I decided to just hang out in the building, and do some work on my laptop (mind you I don't bring my laptop everyday, but for some reason today I brought it, thank God!). I actually started working on my one-act, The Funeral. I was told by my teacher from last year, to fix certain things and submit it. I kind of procrastinated this summer but I had nothing else to do. Now I am so excited about working on it! I wrote a whole 3 pages today, which when you are the writer is a lot. Then I had Lab Bio (a whole 2 hours later). We did another boring lab....in a few weeks we will start more interesting ones, like dissecting a squid (which will be fun, but not as fun as Allison an My pig, Raphael Hamlet the 17th). After that I grabbed some Burger King, and after another hour, I went to math. the teacher was late again and we got out early as usual. The content covered was also pretty simple...God Bless Mr. Stone!
Back at home base (my dorm)....I have done absolutely nothing. I talked to Kristen, we went on Google maps and located each other's dorms and waved to each other....
Tomorrow is Friday!!!!!!! This weekend I am going home!!!! And am going to the Cardinals Football game with the Sanchez family (minus Tom, sorry bud).....
And I have a big secret up my sleeve that I cannot tell you but if it happens I will let you know all about it, but until then anticipate it! (I know you hate that Allison!)
It is 9. I want to watch another movie tonight but I have some homework that I want to get out of the way....
I believe that is all for now.....
