so. i had to miss church tonight because i had to go to my little sister's friend's birthday party. it was ok. there was no one between the ages of 13 and 35. how sad. i played video games. so, i watched Diary of a Mad Black Woman with my mom last night. god, i have never laughed so hard. i swear. went to Marble Slab w/ Rebekah and Elizabeth last night. fun times with Shakonk. (Shashank). i really don't even know the guy. i just love his name. and he's my neighbor. i'm uber-excited about monday night. i'm not supposed to know. but i do. so there. i'm a bit worried about the whole Student Council situation. i have no idea what's goin on. and it doesn't help that Mr. McClellan is weird and scary and hasn't contacted me at all this summer. i think i'm supposed to be at Frosh Orientation on the 9th. but i dunno. i guess i'll just go anyways. i'm still not finished with Silas Marner or Fahrenheit 451. and i'm just now finishing the paper on Ethan Frome. ughh....and i have to do all my algebra work. oh boy. i think i have decided that i'm not gonna date until i find my "guy". as in the one that i'm gonna marry. cause i really just don't think it's necessary. and it's not like i'm gonna get any offers anyway. so i think it's best to just wait until God throws someone at me. which is kind of sad. i mean, i guess i won't say i'll never date, cause obviously that's how i'd get to know that person. but i just mean, at least in high school. so yeah. i haven't done anything with my friends all summer. and my birthday is coming up relatively soon. i'm gonna be sixteen, and i'm not sure what i'm gonna do. any ideas? i don't really wanna have a party. but i guess i'll find something to do. also, if any of you guys are good as Algebra, call me. i'm thinkin i'm gonna need some help. well, that's about it for tonight. bye guys.----Cari
