Busy Beaver
Another week has come and gone. We are getting further and further into the dark months of winter and I have just one thing to say: NOVEMBER SUCKS. There are fewer and fewer things to do, its cold but there is now snow, and it gets dark way to freaking early. But thorugh it all, its been a very busy week. Get excited folks, Christmas is only six weeks away. And when Xmas comes so does a long break and I get my liscense. Better get to writing a list of things I want. It really isn't that much.
As for the week, it was long. It definently does not seem that I've only been back one week from retreat. Time doesn't always fly by I guess. I guess I took something out of retreat and made more out of each day. Or maybe it was five days of school with lots of make up work to do. I think I have gotten all of it done except one vocab quiz I need to do this week. This week is a four day week followed by a two day week next week for Thanksgiving. I am thankful we can be thankful on Thanksgiving. And the days off of school are a nice bonus.
So, did this long week reveal any exciting happenings for me? Well, yes. Quite a few to be exact. Wednesday was a early dismissal day. Also on Wednesday I brought in tons of can goods for Dare to Care and won some donuts for homeroom on Friday. Mmmm..donuts. And I was really happy on Friday cause I got a 94 on a physics test I thought I knew nothing for.
Luckily for me, the long week was followed by a long weekend. No school today for me. ,maybe I'll do some of those papers I've been putting off for weeks. But for now, I'll give you the Weekend Report. Yeah, I know its not entirely too exciting but its all I got. I keep trying to find other things to write about and I keep coming up empty. By the look of things, it looks like others are at a loss too. I'll attempt to just give you the higlights.
- Friday. 'Cuase November sucks, there wasn't much to do. I had to stay after school and take my second history test of the day which was not too exciting. All week we had been planning on going to see Julie's play which has kept her so budy that many of us thought she had vanished. Don't worry though, she is still surviving. Unfortunately, it was sold out. We decided to go see the Incredibles instead. I thought it was kinda disappointing. It definently did not live up to the standards of the last couple Pixar movies. The worst part was that is wasn't that funny. It was alright, I guess. Nothing too eventful occured on Friday really.
- Saturday. I went to the State Cross Country Meet with Andy and Mary. It was a good time, but the meet still baffles me. First off, why in the world would you want to run competively? Second, why would you want to watch people run? We didn't really watch much of the race because we didn't want to have to keep moving around to see people jsut run. Instead, we jsut hung out with some other people and ate the good food everybody had brought. When I got home from that, I felt a little sickish with a cold and sore thraot. So I didn't bother to find out what was going on and took a nap from 8-10. Really messes up your night if you take a nap at that time.
- Sunday. Sunday. Sunday was Open House @ St. X. I did that from 2- 430 and man was that lame. I stood at the end of the emptiest hallway in the building and directed to few people who came my way. Atleast it got me some service hours. After my shift, I chatted with Mr. Price. That night, I went to Andy's house to play some poker. I came in fourth out of 10, which is not too shabby. Amaznigly, Matt who had over 2000 in ships lost after Kyle came back from the brink of losing wiht only 50 chips. It was a really fun night. This morning when mother picked me up, we headed to the library to get some books from my reaserch paper. I've been to the library twice in the last two weeks. I'm surprised some horrible side effect hasn't occured.
