I watch too much television...

I don't have school today. It's, like, a teacher work day or something, so NO SCHOOL! I'm watching re-runs of The Office pretty much all day today. The Office is my favorite show, and the new season started last Thursday. Isn't that EXCITING?! Last nights episode wasn't as good as the premiere, but it was still AWESOME!

NCIS also premiered Tuesday, and that was FANTASTIC! A lot of stuff I didn't see coming happened, so that was good. There should have been more of Ducky and Abby though...that made me sad that they weren't in the episode as much as they should have been. Then NCIS: Los Angeles premiered, and that was also really good. Although, none of my friends watched it, so I couldn't discuss it with anyone, so that was rather sad.

I had a good week this week. Besides the keys trip which I don't really want to discuss at length because of my strong dislike towards it. In short, boat rides are horrifying, I don't want to be a marine biologist, and Finding Nemo is the best movie ever! We watched it on the drive back although I think I was the only one to watch it...

This week was just...good, besides that. I don't know why, it just was. I GOT MY BRACES OFF! That's a reason why this week was good! I went to have popcorn the day I got them off, but I burned it so that was sad. Ummm...I don't know what else to write here, so I think I'll just end this post.

DFTBA!

an agglomeration of stuff you probably don't care about.

Tomorrow I get to wake up at the wonderful hour of 4 in the morning because I have to go on a field trip that I really do not want to go on. We spend 2-3 hours driving down to the Keys to go snorkeling. I don't want to go because I do not enjoy swimming or any other activity that involves getting into a lot of water. Then we drive back after an exhausting trip and arrive back at the school around 9-10 at night. Then we all get to go to school the next day more tired than we usually are. Oh, and I have a Latin test. I think I'll do pretty well on it if I manage to stay awake though.

On the BRIGHT SIDE...um, I can't think of one right now.

Anyway, I memorized some Shakespeare this weekend for fun. Is that weird? Nope, just super nerdy. It's Juliet's lines from Act 2 Scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet. Yeah, I'm so awesome I memorize Shakespeare for FUN.

OOOOOOHHHHH, I forgot, I signed up for NaNoWriMo today. Mostly because I was bored. So, I'm on there now. I somewhat know what I'm writing my novel about, but I'm afraid I'm going to think it's a horrible idea half way through writing it...

This is just a scattered mess of stuff. Sorry.

I gave my ukulele away. My friend, Susanna really wanted one but couldn't find a place to get one, so I gave her mine. I wasn't playing it that much and it was taking up space so I just...gave it away. She's very happy now.

Uhhhhmmmmm, I think I'm going to end this here.

I'm unsocial and don't know the difference between a metaphor and simile

I just got back home from a friend's house. I don't usually go to friends's houses, I really don't like to. I don't know why, I'm just not that social when it comes to hanging out with people outside of school. We went to our school's football game, where I kind of just got shoved aside from the people I was there to hang out with so that was fun. Luckily my best friend, Sara, showed up around half time so I spent the rest of the game with her :)

After the football game we played Catchphrase. That game is SUPER FUN. If you don't know what it is I'll do my best to try to explain it. Okay, I tried to explain it, but I'm not good at explaining, so here's a link to the wikipedia page about it. I was really good at the science category, and totally got EVERYTHING...almost.

Speaking of science, we have to go on a biology trip to the keys. I go on the 21st with most of my friends, others are going on the 14th. I really don't want to go because I'm somewhat terrified of the ocean, which is why I am a Floridian who NEVER EVER EVER goes to the beach. It's weird though because I love the rain, but hate the ocean, and my favorite pokemon are always water pokemon, and Poseidon is my favorite Greek God. So this field trip should be interesting...

On a completely different note about biology, we had to write a 3 paragraph essay on Global Warming. It was really easy, and I wrote an AWESOME conclusion. I used Newton's 3rd Law of Motion as a simile. I know I tweeted saying I used it as a Metaphor, but it was really late at night and I got confused.

I'm going to try to blog at least every weekend now just so I can get back into the habit of blogging. I don't blog enough, and I really should blog more because I love writing. However, more blogging will have to wait because I finally got Catching Fire and my computer is about to die.

Procrastination.

Yep, I'm procrastinating. I probably won't go to bed until early in the morning because of it. There are just so many more things that intrest me right now than my history, algebra, and biology homework!

I SHOULD be answering some history questions. I SHOULD be doing an algebra practice test as a way to study and because if I complete it I get extra credit on the test. I SHOULD be typing up an essay that includes 2 Bible verse and is about global warming. However, I am blogging.

During the time it will take me to write up this blog, I'd probably be able to at least get my history homework done. I'm completely rambling on in this post as a way to procrastinate. THIS is NOT good.

Let me talk about Apologetics since Lytysha wants to know about it and Alex wants to know what it is. Apologetics is the branch of theology that teaches you how to defend your faith. So far, we haven't really talked about much in the class. We did watch a clip of Monty Python and the Holy Grail though. The part where the people try to prove that the girl is a witch. Love that movie. I'll tell you more about the class when there's more to tell about it.

So Glee was on last night. Not really sure if I like it that much, though. I mean, the Journey that they sing is awesome, so that's definitely a positive about it. And they guidance counselor is hysterical. Especially in the scene where she's talking to the girl in her office and the girl says something like, "Have you ever loved someone so much where you just locked yourself in a room and listened to sad songs and cried?" and the guidance counselor replies, "No." and has a flash back to when she's sitting in her car crying listening to "all by myself" That was very well acted and very funny.

Um....I really have no idea what else to write about. I'm rather upset about that because I wanted to procrastinate more! Well, guess I'm going to do some homework now. :(

A rather hectic week in the land of Christy.

I had an interesting week last week.

First on Sunday I had an allergic reaction to some medicine I was taking. Monday we went to the doctor (Sadly, not the time lord doctor from Gallifrey with two hearts) who didn't do anything about it. Tuesday we went to a different doctor (Still, not a time lord) who gave me a shot and then took four viles of blood :( Wednesday I was feeling MUCH better, but still had to stay home from school. Thursday I went to school, which was good because I started to go crazy at home. I mean, second week of school and I'm stuck at home for the first half of it! That's just not right. School was fine that day. It was one of my easy days where I only have Orchestra, Latin II, Apologetics, and Health. However, the next day was definitely NOT an easy day. I have Honors Biology, Honors English, Honors History, and Algebra I. All that in ONE DAY is NOT FUN.

Thursday night and Friday deserve their own paragraphs because of how hectic the were. So here:

Thursday night I had to do a LOT of homework to make up for missing so much all ready. I wanted to do all of the homework because I really did NOT want to fall behind at the very beginning of the school year. So, I was up until 3 am doing homework and studying and all that fun stuff. My bed was covered in books and I didn't feel like moving them so I decided to sleep on our EXTREMELY comfortable house. Seriously, I slept SO GREAT on that couch! The 3 hours of sleep I managed to get were AWESOME.

Friday morning we went to McDonald's to get Iced Coffee. Who would have thought that MCDONALD'S would make SUCH GOOD COFFEE? I love it :) Anyway, when I got to school I had to review for a biology quiz to make sure I remembered everything. WELL, when the quiz came around, I remembered all the hard stuff, but forgot one of the definitions of science! I was VERY mad at myself, and still am. It's FRUSTRATING to stay up that late and forget an easy question! After biology I headed over to english. I had all my homework done and the teacher was very proud of me! I think I do well in english when I, you know, try. Then it was time to lunch, but I went to Alegbra to catch up on the lessons I missed so I would understand the lesson that day. That didn't take up the entire lunch period, so I went to biology to hand in the homework I didn't get a chance to turn in during class. When lunch ended I had to go to history, which is sometimes boring and sometimes very interesting. I don't really know what it was Friday, I just know that it was long. I had ALL my homework done, and when you've done all your history homework for that week in one night, you're going to feel VERY accomplished. I felt accomplished. The teacher was glad to see I had it all done. Then was Algebra I, which I really don't mind except the class. There are these guys who are all annoying and laugh at EVERYTHING and are always talking making the teacher mad. It makes ME mad. I want to LEARN, not to listen to your annoying laughs! After Algebra, I had to go to the doctor's (Still, not the one from Gallifrey! When will these let downs stop?) for a follow up which was quick and they said I was doing fine. Then I went to my dad's house were Alex and I started singing songs from musicals because she's always on about her drama class that I really want to switch into but am afraid it will completely mess up my schedule, and cause lots of trouble for the person who organizes the schedule. Anyway, after that we watched MONK, which is hysterical and sadly in it's last season. Then, after dinner, I pretty much fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. I slept twelve hours which was nice.

Saturday went by pretty fast, and wasn't all to interesting. Sunday I did some more homework so I wouldn't have to do it all today. When I finished my homework I read the first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, The Lightning Theif. Last year my friend, Nicolas, told me to read it before the last in the series came out, but I had just started reading Harry Potter, so that was a useless attempt. Thursday my Latin teacher said I should read it, so I said I would over the weekend since I STILL don't have Catching Fire. I finished Percy Jackson all yesterday, which was very easy to do because it was rather short. If you haven't read it you should, especially if all the Greek gods are interesting to you. It's quite awesome.

Well, that brings us to today. Labor day. I have school off today, which is nice. There's also an NCIS marathon on. Glad I got my homework done so I could watch it!

I hope I ended on a good note, because most of my week probably seems like a total downer. Let's just all think of something happy now so you'll be happy after reading this...Go on, think of something happy!
