I'm so glad that Spring Break is here.

It seems like we have been in school forever.

Last semester went by so much faster than this one.

Today, was pointless.

World Geography, all we did was watch a dumb movie that was about animals in Africa. Basically no one watched it. We all just slept.

Algebra, we celebrated Pi Day. Pretty lame if you ask me. We just ate desserts. Like pie [of course.] brownies, and a cookie cake. Then we went and played boring games like Math Jeopordy, Twister, Moon Pie eating contest, and a 3 legged race. It was boring. Except for the yummy pies.

Academic Orientation, we went to the Library. It was loads of fun. Let me tell you. More like it was the most pointless thing in the World. They just talked to us, we took notes, and went online to find out some information.

So since we were in the Library, we had fourth lunch. I don't really know any one in fourth lunch. Well I take that back. I know people, but I'm not great friends with them. So it was Alyssa, Rachel, Anna, and me at lunch. Then Samantha came and sat with us for a bit, and so did Erin. But when Rachel and I left, they left too.

Rachel and I went down to the Auditorium/GYM/Band building to find Stephanie. We found her and she's one cool girl. Thomas, your girlfriends cooler than you. =] EDIT: OK SO JUST KIDDING. THOMAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND ISNT COOLER THAN YOU. CAUSE SHE APPERENTLY ISN'T YOUR GIRLFRIEND ANYMORE. BUT SHE IS STILL COOL.

But fourth lunch is like the longest lunch ever. its the regular time, plus the 9 minute break for class change. So fourth lunch is basically like 34 minutes, or something like that.

But so I met Stephanie today. It was cool. We got to see the Hall's Band play. I didn't go find Lisa though. I was going to, but decided not to because the bell rang for class change.

After lunch, we went to Business Principles. All we did was take a test. It was very easy, and then ate snacks and hung out for like 40 minutes.

So basically, most of my day consited of, boring movies, snacks, boring games, library, internet, lunch, test, and more snacks and haning out.

That's about all I did at school today.

It was pretty lame. Since we really didn't do anything important, but take that easy test.

Now I'm at home, bored. Since I can't or I'm not allowed to go to Winter Jam. =[

Everyone is going. Then they are all spending the night at Joy and Gnia's house. Their parents could care less.

But since mine are in California, they won't let me go. I'm not ganna not just because they said I couldn't ,but because I want to show them that I am trustworthy and I do follow their rules.

But yeah, this Spring Break isn't going to be amazing. But it's better than being in school.

I love seeing my friends at school, but that's about all I love.

only TWO more days until spring break! im very excited even though im not doing ne thing. =o/

parents left for cali TODAY! party @ MY HOUSE! haha JUST KIDDING!!! i COULD NOT pull something like that off. haha. just not sneeky enough.

this week has felt like FOREVER! =o(  its ONLY wed.

academic orientation [keystones] is so B.O.r.I.N.g. like OMGAH! i hate it! i would SO rather be in KeYBoARDiNG! plus ms. hill was SO much NICER than ms. lynch. we cant talk, we cant eat, we cant drink, we cant listen to music when we r doing individual work.

gah. its so boring! PLUS we have to give speechs. i DONT do speeches. like no. today 2 guys from IMPROV. came and demenstrated a something something. idr what it was called. its like improv with a topic and u have 4 mins. to make up a speech about it.

it was about POWER TOOLS! how dumb is that? all the GiRLS where like power tools?

then @ lunch me && rachel && alyssa ladd were talking about it. and alyssa goes "is a lawn mower a power tool?" me and rachel were both like "hum. I HAVE NO CLUE! is it?" haha.

so do me a FAVOR. IS A LAWN MOWER A POWER TOOL??? thanks. =]

during 1st block. [since it was late wed.] i forgot to put my fone on vibrate. so i took it out after the bell rang and was putting it on VIBRATE and like i totally pushed the LOCK button instead of the VIBRATE button! && i DONT or DIDNT know the codE! i was like OMGAH! this SUCKS! cause my mom && dad know it. but they were on their way to CALIFORNIA!

so i was like OMGAh they r ganna kill me. haha. but then after class i was talking && talking to kayla and rachel and kayla was liek "DUH! isnt it the last 4 digits of ur NUMBER?" so i tried! && it IS!! =]

so my fone is NO LONGER on LOCK! =]

my spring break is ganna NOT be FUN. =[  call me if u wanna hang out!! =]

btw. what do u think of this outfit?? cute or NO?

thanks. =]

i think i've got the FLU!!!

my brother && sister's (&& isabelle) had it ALL week! now i think ive GOT it!

yuk! i HATE the FLU. eww. ugh. this is ganna SUCK.

i think they got it last weekend when everyone was at the land and i was out shopping with the GiRLs. so i'm getting it AFTER everyone! ugh. this SUCKS.
