No fall?

Guess what guys? Wisconsin has officially skipped fall, and has gone straight from summer to winter. I went from wearing a t-shirt to school one day, then the next day, I'm wearing my winter coat. It's SNOWING!!! What's up with that??? It's not supposed to snow in October. It was snowing Monday and Tuesday when we got out of school, and yesterday it was freezing. Today, it's sunny out, but cold.

I think I've broken my pinky again. Hah, that's funny. I broke it on Halloween Day last year, and tomorrow is Halloween, and I think I broke it again. :O I don't think it ever officially healed well, but it's gotten me through a year. I think I'm gonna wear my splint for a few days, possibly. I just remember how annoying that was. And I wore it from October to January. We never had an x-ray done after that... so I don't know. But occasionally it hurts in the spot I broke it, but recently it's been bad. Like right now I can't type with it, or ply the piano with it. 

See, I broke it funny. Let me refresh your memory. I hit my finger on the corner of the science lab. And I hit it so hard, it broke off a chunk of my knuckle bone (which they said will never heal back, lol) and I tore the ligaments and bone that goes from the knuckle in my hand to the second knuckle of my pinky finger. And that's where it hurts now. So I hardly had gym last year :D

Um, otherwise, not much going around here. I'm home alone today. Tomorrow, I have no idea what we are doing, except watching "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown". Haha, when we were handing out candy on Sunday, which was stupid, there was an old fashioned costume. A kid cut 2 holes in a white sheet and threw it over himself. I say "Charlie Brown is coming!!" but luckily he didn't hear me :)  
Kay, one more thing before I go. So white caps went trick - or - treating on Sunday, when everybody knows we have actual Halloween day off. The whole school district has these 2 days off, and I think we should have gone tomorrow. I mean, we went trick or treating a whole WEEK before Halloween. It's not right. Erg. But supposedly there is a place to vote online to change the rules for next year. 

Now it's Later:


GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I am soooo proud of myself. So since I was home alone today, Shelly invited me to go to Subway with her and the kids.  So when I got home, I got to work. I vacuumed, dusted and picked up the downstairs. I vacuumed, dusted, cleaned part of the bathroom made my moms bed, made my bed, made Hannah's bed, picked up my room, made my moms dresser visible again (it was a mess), and... The most amazing- I cleaned Hannah's entire room. It was a MESSSS! It looked like a tornado came through and ripped up her dresser, her drawers, her floor, her bed, her closet. I straightened up her dresser, I took all the clothes out of all her drawers and refolded them and put them back in, I eventually got to her bed, by going through the mountain of toys and clothes on top of it and hanging those up, I picked up her floor. You can see Hannah's room again! :O That's a surprise for even Shelly, she doesn't know I did that yet.... and she knows how messy her room was. Everyone did, haha. My mom has been talking about cleaning it up for weeks now, and I had nothing to do... So I did it :D I can't wait until my mom gets home now. I'm not even gonna tell her, I'm gonna let her see everything as she goes past it.  So I cleaned my whole house, all by myself, on my day off. Yayayay!  I think part of the reason I did it was because I knew that if I didn't, we would be cleaning all day tomorrow, with my mom and Hannah (which isn't fun). My mom gets all stressed and crabby. Also, I wanted to make it up to her. Tuesday night, we got in a big fight, so I feel better now. And also, tonight my mom can chill and hang out with Shelly instead of stressing about the house.

I've made it!

Tomorrow is the last day of first quarter.... amazing right?!  It feels like we just started last week. I have to say, it's gone by alot faster, and better, than expected. I seriously had a bad feeling that this year was going to absolutely suck. But it probably has been my favorite year of middle school.

Today, I got like 200 some points in Social Studies for participating. See, in social studies, you get 3 grades, which average out your grade. Those are your test score, your notes, and participation. And you get points by answering questions, reading, etc... in class. I answered a bunch of questions today, because it was review for our test tomorrow. Our teachers are stressing out trying to get us all caught up, because after tomorrow, missing assignments go to 0 in the grade book. :O uh oh... nah, I have no missing work :)

Eh, that's about it. I'm tired. I'll post sometime this weekend, we got a 4 day weekend. WHOOO.

:)

Ok, so I'm dying to know what people think. What'cha think??? Of the run? Of the weekend? Of Zach??  :)  

I personally thought it went great, except Friday... but that's my issue. I'm sure everybody else thought it was fine. I thought Saturday was alot of fun. Even though it was super cold, it certainly helped us not to take any of it for granted, which was quite possible if the weather was "perfect". 
Those are my thoughts, I have more. But right now, I have a migrane from like 9 this morning and I'm SUPER tired. So bye.

As Usual...

So as you know, tomorrow is Katie Memorial Foundations' first annual fun run through the forest preserve. This past week, I think it's finally hit me. Everyday, it got harder and harder to go to school, school got more and more boring, I began to pay less attention. Then I'd smack myself and say "It's going to be okay!!" Then I could get my head back into it. Monday, wasn't bad. Tuesday, I had a bad morning, so I talked to Mrs. Peterson for an hour er so. I showed her KMF's website, she said she really wanted to come to the run tomorrow, but her daughter has Solo and Ensemble tryouts. I tried telling my 6th grade science teacher this week, but every time I went in her room, she said she was busy. So that didn't get around to her. I told my friends, but they all had tickets to see the premiere of High School Musical 3, LOL!!! I was like "You have fun with all those little kids!" Haha. Eh, I don't think I'm that close yet with them that I'd want them at a big family event like this.... Then Wednesday it was okay because I knew I got out early.... everything was going to be shorter. Then yesterday, was fine. I really wanted to go to English because we are watching "The Sixth Sense" which I LOVE that movie. But how lame is this? She handed out a test on it, and it's our final assessment for 1st quarter. Can we ever just watch a movie and not take notes or have a test on it?!?! Erg, it's frustrating. At least it's a good movie. And so my homework for missing today is to rent the Sixth Sense and finish my test. Ahah. I'm like OKAY! :D That's the best homework ever.
Well, today after Hannah's doctor appointment (>_<) I think we are going to Grandma's. Finally see my cousins after 3 months. :P

Big Bad World

Well, my piano concert went well. My hands were so shaky though. Shelly, Zach and Morgan came, and Grace's grandparents came. I did my 2 songs, then at the end, Grace and I did Colors of the Wind together. She sang and I accompanied her. My mom and Grace's mom were tearing up. Hah, saps. ;P  I got back to my seat and Zach made fun of me because he could see my hands shaking, it was crazy. But funny. Then afterwards, Hannah, Morgan, Zach and I went to Culver's. Yum ^_^ 
Well, this weekend has been good too. I've watched Aladdin probably 5 times, I've got it memorized. I've come to a conclusion too, I love that movie!! Aladdin and Peter Pan are like the best Disney movies. 
Tomorrow, we are going to the pumpkin patch by our house. It's called "Borzinskys" Or something, it's pronounced Bor-Zin-Skies(as in ski, not sky)- so I don't know how you spell it. They have the best caramel apples! They have tubs of like 5 different types of apples, then you can get the apple on a stick or they will core it for you, then its covered in caramel, then they have tubs of toppings. Oreos, M&M's, sprinkles, etc....


*P.S. My title is the first song on my new album by the Plain White T's. I love it, you should definatley buy it!

Ah!

Going to my piano recital, Wish me luck!!! xP

I am talking to Katy.

That was my reply to Mr. Moran today in class. Haha. I was sitting by my friend Katy, and we were quietly talking about something, and Mr. Moran screams "What are you doing?!?!" And I answer in a cheerful voice, like nothing is wrong and say "I am talking to Katy" And smile, then Mr. Moran goes "Oh, okay" Haha. I love it when I answer in a happy voice, then people don't have a response. I did that to my mom today. She comes in the room when I'm on the computer and screams "What are you doing?!" and I say "I am checking my blog. What are you doing?! :)" She couldn't reply. Hah. Well, this week has been pretty good. Monday I had a field trip. We went to the Marcus Theater of Performing Arts and saw 5 20 minute skits. VERY BORING! It was the same 4 actors for all the plays. And the first play was "The Tell-Tale Heart" and so, we saw the guy killing the old man. Then in the last play, he was a cowboy. It was almost impossible to change my perspective of him though, from an insane murderer to a cowboy chewing on straw. It didn't work out right... So it was kind of funny. Then today, nobody felt like doing anything because yesterday we were gone all day, and tomorrow we have half  a day. YAY ^_^  Highschoolers have the whole day off :P  So today, Zach was bragging about it. I threw a huge pile of leaves at him. :) Haha, I just remember something. Yesterday, we went to the new Target Greatland or whatever that just opened by our house with Shelly and Zach. And as we were checking out, Shelly told me to smell the new cologne Zach was buying. But I couldn't smell it, so I sprayed alot of it all over my body. Then I ran a circle around Zach and said "Do I smell good? I smell like you!" Then he said "Do you like it?" and I go "Of Course, thats why I sprayed it all over myself" Haha. 

Well, I'm pretty bored. School is still super easy. OH! But I loved being an OWL. I get to go back to my 6th grade english class. It's funny because the desks are the exact same they were when I was there, so I immediatley see all my friends, I remember good memories, I remember learning. I remember sitting on the floor, because my chair was never comfortable. I wish I could go back to 6th grade, everyone was so innocent, so un-stereotyped. Everyone was still themselves from elementary school. Now I look at everyone, everyone has changed SOO much, it's crazy. I look at friends I used to hang out with, and see how snobby they have become. I see people who were "cool" in elementary school, and now are complete nerds. O_o How do you do that? Uh, I cannot wait until highschool. It's crazy. Thats all I think about anymore.... I just wish I was there. I hate my school so much. It's the school, like I love my friends, I just hate the school. The assistant principal, the teachers, the atmosphere. It's just, ugh.

Anyways, on a happier note.... well, I said my happier note earlier. That's about all the news for now. I'll probably post Friday or Saturday. Bye(:

SO.

It's officially another weekend, here. This week went pretty fast unusually O_o. I think it was cos everybody, the whole week, was in a good mood. That just makes everything better. This coming Monday, we are going on a field trip, so that's a plus. But we have to watch the play "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe, which is really disturbing, as I might have mentioned before. Yuck. It's basically a petty field trip because the teachers feel we need a trip. All it is is seeing a bunch of skits at an opera house or something.... then getting McDonald's for lunch. Whoooo, not very exciting. But oh well, it's a day less of learning ;) Then also, Monday I start OWLing. Haha. I'm an owl :D It's an Older Wiser Learner. There's like 30 8th graders that got picked to be them, it's tutoring 6th and 7th graders. I got assigned to the house I was in in 6th grade, so I get to see all my old teachers :) 

Last night, I went to the Bradford homecoming football game with Zach, then when we got there, we met up with Bryan and his girlfriend. I have to say, it was more fun than I expected... except I forgot my contacts. xP How pathetic is that!?! Bryan was making fun of me saying "Oh I can't see, but I don't remember my contacts" laughing. :P He wears contacts too, that's why I think it was funnier to him. But Bradford won :) Like 46 to 24 or something. Hehe. I was so tired thoughh. Oh well. I had fun. 

Now, we are practically giving the house a makeover, we are cleaning EVERYTHING. Right now, it's 11:30, we've been cleaning since 9:30, straight, no breaks. But my cleaning is done.! YAY! But then after lunch, we are going to Gurnee Mills with Shelly Zach and Morgan. Then going to Outback for dinner. :)

Umm....... I'm gonna go. Adios.

My Weekend.

This weekend was pretty good :) So I figured I would write about it. So Friday, I got home, and my mom and Shelly were working the garage sale we had this weekend. I guess it was fine? Haha, this time, we didn't make much money... oh well. Then they closed up when me and Zach got home, and we went out to dinner with them. Then we went to their house afterwards.  Then Saturday we all worked the garage sale.   Haha, well actually me and Zach stayed inside the whole time watching movies while our moms worked the garage sale... But we helped a little. ;) Then around 3, me, my mom, dad and Hannah left for the playoffs at Miller Park. They won!! :DD Unfortunatley, I think that's the only game they will win. I'm watching the game right now, and its 6 to 1, Brauns batting with Cameron on 3rd. Brewer's losing. Eh. Atleast we saw their winning game :)  OOHHH!!! AND CAMERON JUST SCORED!!! WHOOOO. Haha, Braun hit it deep left field. Yay ^_^  Then I got a new t-shirt. I got... of course, Ryan Braun. :) I have a Hardy shirt, but Brauns just too darn good, and good looking ;) to not have his shirt. And we also got a baseball with Brauns signature on it, and his picture. And my mom got a Wildcard shirt. And we got Zach a Brewer's WildCard Pennat.  Hm, that was my Saturday. Today, we went out to breakfast, and around 3:30 me and Zach are going to see Eagle Eye. :O It looks really good. It's with Shia LeBoufe or however you spell his name, hah. Supposedly he gets mysterious phone calls from somebody threatening the lives of him and his family and friends. I'll tell my review when I get back.  Today's a pretty crappy day. Grey and rainy, and I have a headache. Oh well.





Kay, now it's later, I just don't wanna make a new post. So I went to see the movie Eagle Eye. I found it pretty good. It was very intense. And there was alot of the "S" word. Anyways, within the first 10 minutes of the movie, I was tearing up.... I won't give anything away, just that. The reviews gave it an average 3 out of 5 stars. That's probably what I would give it too. I only jumped once too :D That's shocking for me, in an intense movie. It was a part that wasn't expected, and I jumped and grabbed Zach's arm. And I think I almost fell asleep a few times. I was sooo tired, I still am. But some noise would always grab my attention. I thought that the movie was so different than what I thought Shia LaBeouf would do, but I like variety. Some parts of it were like duh! But literally, there was like no laughing. It was so serious. Occasionally a guy would make a joke, you would laugh once, then it would be serious again.  But I liked it. :)


Oh my gosh guys. Emma is too funny. I mean... Santa is. He says elve's would beat a wrestler and the Easter bunny in a fight because they are all jacked up on maple syrup. I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING.

New quote.

I think I found my new favorite quote:

"Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile."

I love it. :)
