hai thurr

wow. i've been in school almost a full week! 

already i'm exhausted. 

i have a ton of homework every night, and i usually get distracted by things like

facebook, makemebabies.com, and stuff like that...

but tonight i'm going to do this thing at church

and i won't get back until late, so i have to knock it out before 5:00. 

yeaa. 

beeteedubs, i went to youth group on sunday for like the first time in a few months. 

last time i went, one of the lawyers in our congregation came to talk to us. it turned out that it was this hypocritical asswipe who also happened to be my dad's divorce attorney. yippie. 

needless to say, i kinda freaked out and haven't been back ever since. 

until last sunday. 

so i signed up for this thing every wednesday and we go visit old people or something. i didn't really read the description but it'll look good on any recommendations i may need. 

so whoa. i may have the most eclectic volunteer list ever:

- volunteered at art show

- volunteered at the Texas Planned Parenthood meeting thing

- volunteered to visit old people

cool. paintings, planed parenthood and people. 

ahh yes! my spanish news of the day. 

yesterday, senora lang called on me to answer this question in spanish and, of course, i had no clue how to say it in spanish. so i simply apologized for not speaking spanish and proceeded to answer the question in french. 

the french teacher laughed (she was in the back of the room). 

i doubt senora will call on me anytime soon. ;D

soo that's what's up avec moi. 

yeahh. 

happy of the day: i busted out "mad about you" before dance class and ms. owens liked it. 

wow.

i slept really late today, so i'm feeling very good.

currently i am watching the most random/crappy movie i've ever seen on tv. 

i have no clue what it is, but three people are battling mummies and they randomly kill people 

and blow up stuff and there is this random guy running about. also it has a really shitty script. 

"death... is only the beginning." followed by "gotta go!"

wow. that is profound. 

i am going to not watch this anymore. it's not even funny bad. it's just bad.

yippie

so it's official. i am not going to hate spanish as much as i thought i would. 

i have a new friend. his name is matt. matt is a freshman and he sits beside me and he honestly reminds me of presley. he commented on my awesome coloring skills (i decorated my binder with a picture of hello kitty in a sombrero. it's from my coloring book.) and he liked that i call my notebook my fiesta notebook. 

we also started learning the alphabet (el alfabeto or something). it was funish. 

i took chase with me to the durham bulls game tonight. it was great. i introduced him to TFLN which he thinks is much better than FML now. he's right. 

and then i came home and found this:

Today, My girlfriend and I were discussing how I am happy all the time and she is always complaining about something. Later on I noticed that she is an avid FML reader and I am an avid MLIA reader. Then it all came together. MLIA 

heck yes.

i feel like i have become an MLIAer. 

- i have built a fort

- i don't read FML

- i have a cat

- i have told random people that "my life is average" and "i love you."

- i bond with strangers

- i have had a duel with light sabers in target

the only thing i have left to do is yell "avada kedavra!" at someone. 

i realized today in chemistry that i haven't been sticking with my "i will not say hate" thing and my happy of the day. 

so tomorrow i will restart the "i don't say hate" thing.

and little bit of happy: i found really pretty pictures of me dancing. i may post them on facebook.

first day of school = success?

so today was the first day of my sophomore year

and i'm scared. 

surprisingly, chemistry isn't one of the classes i'm worried about. it's algebra 2/trig honors,

world history honors and spanish 1. 

let's go through each class one by one, shall we? we'll go in order.

english 10 honors: i really liked mrs. burns. she seemed really cool to begin with and i liked her much more once she referred to tyler hansbrough as a tool. 

world history honors: this class seems fun, but it'll be a lot of work. i like history though, but i'm horrid at dates.

dance 3 (now honors): the dance room was re-done!! marley floor, heck yes!!

lunch: i'm so glad that i have a lot of friends in 4th lunch, but it's too early for lunch. normal people don't eat lunch so early.

chemistry: mrs. smith is awesome and seems agreeable. hopefully i won't get sick as much as i did last year.

theology 10: mr. dmytriw (pronounced "duh mi tru." i know. i don't get that either.) seems like a more monotone and religious and certainly straight version of mr. hartman, my 6th grade advisor. we'll see how this class progresses.

spanish 1: well. i don't speak spanish. it is not my choice to take this class. i was the only sophomore in there and i was surrounded by freshman who have been taking spanish since they were in kindergarten. i don't like to get bested by anyone, particularly people younger than me. while in this class, i learned that there was going to be a german class but plans for that failed. if i had known, i totally would have taken german! i know lots of people that i could practice with. and hello! "kindergarten", "dachshund" and "wiener schnitzel." that's all german! 

i had a conversation with mme. smith after school about why i wasn't taking french. she told me that everyone was wondering where i was (since i helped everyone a lot last year) and that they all missed me. she also told me, "je ne peux pas voir que vous disant "hola!" c'est dommage. you are so good at french!"

i miss it. at least some of the words are similar to french. but it sounds so... raw. 

i agree with madame smith. c'est dommage.

algebra 2/trig. honors: our teacher wasn't there and won't be in for like two weeks. party?

i got all my binders. they're all lime green. i also got some notebooks. one has aquaman and batman on it (that's for chemistry) and another has michael scott (steve carrell's character on the office) with 'leadership' under the picture. that is for world history. i also got one to cheer me up in algebra. it's from the HSM3 collection and has zac effron (or zaquisha as he is lovingly known) on it. 

tres mignon. 

hmpf

big set back today.

i slept through two alarms and flipped the fuck out.

i don't do well in situations like that. so i took a shower and calmed down.

and then i flipped out about my hair. i realized that i don't like it too much with the bangs and all. it's hard to take care of and i wanted to grow it out. 

stupid, stupid me. i shouldn't make big decisions when i'm tired and not on my meds. 

seriously.

so i'm back to cleaning my room. the flip out set me back... a lot. 

woot. 

tralala

I was over at my aunt's house for the day so I could babysit for her kids while she did stuff. 

I woke up late, which meant the kids could do whatever unsupervised. D:

BUT THEN I redeemed myself by helping Grace paint her nails, helping Robert build a Lego helicopter (btw, Kathleen, I told them about your Sweet 16th idea and they now think I have really cool friends.) and to finish it off, gave them a super nutritious breakfast of waffles and gingerbread house.

I have officially been declared the coolest cousin in the world and the best babysitter. 

It made my life. 

And then I got paid. And that made my life even more.

So now I am trying to clean my room, which isn't going well. I decided to read MLIA and came across this lovely post:

Today, I realized that since switching from an avid FML reader to an avid MLIA reader, my life has seemed a lot less terrible, and a lot more average. Needless to say, I'm pleased with the trade-off. MLIA. 

And that, small children, is why the lovely, pretty and cool babysitter started this blog and stopped reading FML.

And now. The big mission for tomorrow. (dun dun dunnnn)

Tomorrow I will stop using the word "hate." I will instead use phrases like, "dislike greatly," "don't approve of," and "je n'aime pas qu'a tout."

yehaw. 

ayee

I apologize for the drastic lack of updates the past few days. 

You see, I am at my mom's house and I fixed the wireless approximately four minutes ago because I am a genius. And I couldn't blog from my phone.

Anyways, these past few days have been relatively well, aside from the fact that my great-aunt died and there was a big funeral on Saturday.

I got my nails done today which made me really happy. If any of you (If there are any of you.) follow me on twitter (http://twitter.com/emorganxx), you would know how happy it made me. 

I am in the process of unpacking and cleaning and rearranging my room and all this stuff that has to get done before school starts on Thursday and oh! It's a big mess. 

Oh yes. I remember what I was going to blog about today. For the past few days (since I couldn't blog.) I would tell myself things that I like to do and things I am good at. Kind of like my own version of this song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHTN4Jvi6lg

It helps a lot when I start to think stuff like, "I'm fat."

So today's little bit of happy is: I am a tech-goddess. I was able to fix a problem Dave, Jill and Agnes at Time Warner Cable couldn't. Hah.
