I'm One of Those...

Well! First post of the Year 2009! I must say, i'm looking forward to starting a new, fresh year. Now that I realize it, I would have much rather gotten those finals done before break, but they went swell last week, so I guess it turned out right. Next week we start the second semester, and i'm ready! Thankfully, this year I won't be switching around some classes for the new semester like last year. I can't wait to get back into the routine of things....

This week back to school, I realized that I forgot what being tired felt like. I had so much sleep over break, it was an unusual feeling once I returned to school. Now, I better get used to it, because my teachers only guaranteed harder work and tougher material. I'm kind of afraid.

The English final was rather hectic the other day. We had to write our essays, (Mine being on the worst book ever, The Tortilla Curtain), pass out our extra credit food, and try to pay attention with all the upperclassmen fooling around the room and doing things that shouldn't be done on a couch at school....Anyways, it was fun, but not really, considering I don't like the subject English. It was interesting to see people bring in their food for the E.C. and figure out how it pertains to the books we read. A particular favorite of mine was a cake of a book burning(From Fahrenheit 451). =] I just liked the decorating, haha.

About two weeks ago, my Mom found a Shih Tzu on Rancho Vista Blvd. Of course, being the dog lover she is, she stopped for him since he was frightened out of his wits on the road. As soon as she opened her door, he jumped in and made himself right at home. It wasn't what we needed at the moment, but we took care of him. One day he did escape from us but came back a half hour later. We posted FOUND posters all along RV Blvd. and only until yesterday did we receive a phone call of the REAL owner. It was almost looking like the dog was going to be ours, but I'm very glad we got the owner.

Well, I didn't make District Honor Band, and I have only myself to blame. I wasn't angry at ANYONE, only embarassed with myself. I guess the accumulation of failure got the best of me that day, but my true friends were there, and really helped me through the day. "A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success." Congrats to everyone who made it, and THANK YOU to all that had a kind word of advice.

I went to my very first school basketball game Friday night. Priscila and I were fortunate enough to visit our friends and enjoy the upbeat game. We watched the Junior Varsity and Varsity girls play, and QH had won both of them against Eastside. I had a lot of fun, and it was a cool experience.

Well, I'm ready to enjoy Martin Luther King Jr. Day tomorrow and the presidential inaguration on tuesday. I hope everyone has a great week, and stays safe.

Are they burning F-451? Haha, that's great. Wait... is that a paradox? I bet you could make it one.

Sorry for the district honor band stuff. I was at a loss for words. I really wanted to say something, but something good. Something that would help you instead of make it worse. I was just too concsious to say anything, I'm sorry.

Nice picture. Seriously. I got confused, like... "Are those black flowers?" Then I saw the people. I laughed out loud. Thanks. Good times. (That day was a paradox...)

I read through that entire list. Haha. Thanks for that. I agree with about every single thing on there.

Dude, I even laughed at the picture as if I was part of it. I like how it portrays the truth of what the scenery was really like. XD

I liked Fahrenheit 451. Good book.

Aww Nice of you guys to keep a dog. I terribly miss mine but I'm satisfied with my cat.

Hope you have a great year Marcea!

Glad to hear you're hanging in there.

That's a pretty accurate representation of the whole mountain falling endeavor, it's missing the freaky tree-humping dude though. Good times. Thanks.
