First Day of Summer! (Technically)

Well, it's just past midnight here in America-land, and I'm tired. I'M ACTUALLY TIRED. And it's midnight. I must be getting old. I've been writing in my book like crazy lately. That's good, I think. I just hope I don't write myself into a corner. That would be...oof.

Anyway, today was my last day of school, I had the Math and American History exam. Math was very hard, but I finished History in about 20 minutes. So, one easy one hard. We played Mafia the rest of the time.

Well, I took another nap in the park by the sea today. It was very relaxing. Anyway, much love.

Oof, one week later.

Sorry I haven't posted, there was just nothing to talk about. But, guess what?! TOMORROW IS MY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! HURRAH. Then, I hafta go back again in August...but that's ok. I'm happy for summer.

Well, I went to a local park today, brought a lounge chair, studied for my last two exams, and fell asleep. Until Tori texted me with a song that we're gonna sing tomorrow to our favorite teacher (his first name is Daryl [we're not supposed to call him that, but who cares?], but we call him a pregnant Yeti. Long story):

[sung to the Frosted Flakes theme]
"Hey Daryl!
I like the things you do!
Hey Daryl!
If I could, I would be you!
You're the one and only Yeti,
with the one and only taste!
You know how to make a pregnancy...
GREAT!
Pregnant yeeetiiiis...
They're more than good,
they're GREAT!"

Lol. I'm wonderful, no? Well, see ya later.

Edit to earlier post.

Sorry, my table diagram didn't quite work out. Oh well. Anyway, Taylor's group sits to the far left, there's some blank spots inbetween, then my group.

Varsity Sports Awards Assembly today.

Yep. There was. It was boring, although I sat with Taylor, whom I have no classes with, so it was nice to catch up. Yeah, so lots of people I don't care about got an award for their sports. Which I also don't care about. Most anyway.

So, during the assembly, it was rather frightening. Taylor is sort of the leader of his little group of 'friends' (minions), and I'm the leader of my little group. So, when we picked a spot (we got there lateish), his little minions followed (we sat on the edge of a row, so they all sat on the stairs. ON THE STAIRS. TO BE NEXT TO HIM. Except one- Adam- who sat in front of us.

Of course, we don't follow the rules and talk and joke and make fun of stuff the entire assembly, so, everytime we broke out laughing, Adam would whip around and be like, "What? What? Whatcha laughing at?", so he could be in on it too. Taylor just ignored him (nice guy, lol. YES. I SAY LOL A LOT, JIBS, LOL), but being the kind person I am (yeah, huh?), I just respond, "Your mom." Lol. That got him to turn around again...but five seconds later..."Huh? What? What's so funny?"

Then, at lunch...well, actually, let me lay out our lunchroom for you. It's a HUGE room, filled with dozens of tables, connected into tens of rows. Our row looks like this.

Taylors crew..................................Blank space......................My crew.....................................
_________________________________________________________________




_________________________________________________________________


Well, he decided to move down to my crew's spot, to hang out me, and his little posse followed. That was expected. But, when I'm talking to him, facing him and his posse, and I look behind him, and see one of his minions leaning so far towards him, that he could probably see Taylor's arm hair, and another just lovingly staring at him, I was a bit creeped out. Can't blame me, really. Well, whatever.

Had my Bible and Spanish exam today. Easy. Did real well, I assume.

Well, much love.

Pick a number!

That is what I said endlessly to my friends at school today. Why? Because I only accomplished burning ONE video last night. Ugh. Well, I'll try and do more today. Lol, MiKayla won it. When I told her about the guessing game she's like, "Tonight's the only time I'll get to watch it! Please give it to me!" So, I decided to give her hints on the number (they had to guess 1-50), so first I told her it was below 30 (the number was 9), then she finally guessed '14'. I'm like, 'Oookay...' And she's like, "Wait, was that wrong!? Should I guess again?!" I told her she should. She guessed 10. I'm a horrible person, lol. But she watched it during Drama, in an empty room. She said it was good. So, I'm happy.

Lol, I gave my yearbook to my Speech/History teacher to sign, then I left the room for, like, 5 minutes, and came back to get my yearbook. He stood up, and was like, "I couldn't think of anything, so..." and he pointed in one of the margins where he had written. It said, "Casey, I'm not gonna be your friend anymore until you pay me the $15 you owe me." I was like, "WHHAAAT?! I don't remember oweing you any money!" and he said, "Well, if it wasn't important enough for you to remember, then, I'm not telling you anything."

I was soooo confused! I mean, I pretended to be mad at him, etc., when finally, he called Jamie over to his desk, and told her something secretly. She came back across the room to me, laughing. I asked what he said, and she's like, "He told me how you owe him $15." And I'm begging her for info, and she said she's to keep mum. Argh.

So, then we were leaving the school, walking to our cars together, and I made one last plea for what was going on. I asked WHEN about did it happen. She said, "Like, February sometime." And, as I walk past, she whispers, 'Case...' I turn around, she's grinning. 'It's nothing. Look at the back of your yearbook.' And she drove off. I got in my car, pulled out the yearbook, and flipped to the back. There was this long note, that started with, 'Wonder how long it'll take you to find this, and realize you DON'T owe me $15 dollars.' Wonderful joke, lol. He sure got me bad.

Anyway, it was a lovely day. See you around!

So...hmm...ok...

Well, we got our yearbooks! They were pretty fly. We always have nice yearbooks. Kudos to the yearbook team.

As for the video, I had finished editting it. It was wonderful. Then, my computer crashed!!!! And I hadn't saved!! *weeps* I hate that! I had to do it all over. It's wonderful now. I put the time into it. Now I just gotta burn it on to a DVD. That takes my computer 2 hrs. Can't wait.

What else....

My niece's second birthday was a few days ago. That's why I wasn't blogging. I flew up to South Carolina for the party (a party for a 2-year-old, lol) and it was fun. Mmm...brownies. Anyway, good times, good times.

Well, that's all for now!

OOZ!

This picture is of the my Science classroom. If you can't read all that's written on it, let me explain. It was written by Tori, and a couple other girls, and it says 'I love salty icecream'. Today, in Science, we made icecream. With milk, mix, ice, and rolling coffeecans, the icecream was wrought upon the Earth, and it was good. The reasoning behind all this talk of salt though, is that when we put the ice in the coffee can, to freeze the icecream, we put rock salt in too, to lower the freezing point. Lovely.

Anyway, before Science, in Small Groups (a bit of a 12-person devotional held every Wednesday morn), we went to Starbucks today! Hurrah for non-coffee drinks. Can't stand coffee, personally.

Anyway, skipping to the end of the day. Today in Drama, me, MiKayla, and Jamie (with Kit at the camera), had an assignment to do. The assignment for the class was to think of a situation, then in your groups of three, pick a different emotion for each. Our odd group, of course, chose to non-English-speaking Russians, landing in America, thinking it was Africa, then asking for a zoo. And, since MiKayla insisted that Russians say everything backwards, we should say 'ooz!'. So, MiKayla was the angry one, Jamie was confused, and I was happy-go-lucky. We paraded around the room, harrassing our classmates with animal noises and motions. It was funny.

P.S. The videos going well.

Mile Mondays

Yes, I have officially made EVERY Monday, 'Mile Monday'. I am going to run a mile every Monday. Hurrah for in shape!

Ah, and yes, yesterday was Mother's Day! Hurrah for adult female figures everywhere. Belatedly, of course. Speaking of mothers, my mother deserted us with my brother and his family to go to Puerto Rico for the week. Whatever. Love you Mom!

Also, my video is going well thanks for asking. I've some footage of MiKayla...

[In Health class, where teacher is a mean, pathetic pushover which words cannot describe. We're learning about Global Warming. She has just handed us a 4 page worksheet with random articles about greenhouse gases etc, and with an infinite amount of dumb questions. On the worksheet there is a question] "What would the world be like without greenhouse gases?" Mikayla puts, "It'd get real hot, and [in all caps] THERE'D BE NO GRAAAAAVITY!! WOODLE!"

Amazing, huh? It's gonna be funny stuff, funny stuff. Anyway, that's all for now, friends. Much love.

And you should check out my YouTube vids if you haven't yet...

Student Awards...suck.

So, I've already started taping the last 3 weeks of school. I have a great how-to with JAMIE (for further reference, check my post two days ago) on slitting throats...with a gift card. It will be BRILLIANT, my friends. Brilliant. And I also have a shot of Tori, writing on Gail's science homework: 'GAIL EATS PANTS' all over it. It's great. It really is.

Anyway, as for the title, we had a student awards ceremony today. They hand out awards for every class: math, english, social studies, etc. Each teacher gives 3 awards: Outstanding Student [Read: Teacher's Pet] to a boy and girl, then Highest Grade in the Class. Lol. That's not really what it's called, but I forget. Well, I won nothing. Except for mucho recognition for the Nerd Bee and A-B Honor Roll. Meh. You see, I make too much trouble to be Teacher's Pet, and I don't spend 6 hours a day studying, I'm just NATURALLY smart (lol, cocky). Well, whatevs.

Well, not much else today. 'Cept MiKayla, taking a test on a book (of the Bible, no less), had the book open in front of her, reading while taking it. It was rather funny. Anyway, much love.

Plans.

Yes. I have plans. Or, plan, rather. I plan to either...

A. Videotape my summer.
B. Videotape my last 3 weeks of school, then my summer.
C. Tape them seperately.

I'll prolly pick B. or C. I like my videocamera, and I wish to use it. Sounds like fun.

Well, I saw Sweeney Todd at the Mahaffey last night. Great show. Different from the movie, surely, but nonetheless awesome. And, to top it all off, my cousins/grandmother/cousin's screaming infants from Puerto Rico came to my house that night. I didn't fall asleep til past midnight. Oof.

Not much else to write. My mom is going to Puerto Rico with my brother on Mother's Day, so we also celebrated that last night. My dad might be going to South Carolina to visit his mom etc., so I'll either be there or at Kit's this weekend.

Much love.

Absence.

Sorry about mine. I've had a busy week. Sickness, then school, then party, then school, then blogging! Sorry about it, once again. I'll try and be more faithful.

Well, as for the party, it was my friend Kit's birthday. HUZZAH. Anyhoo, it was good times. She had me, Jamie, Laurel, and Tierney over. I've got to have a section dedicated to explaining my friends one day. Meh, I'll get to it. It was fun. We went put-putting, and I got an absolutely miserable score. I got last, lol.

Then, when they all left her house, I stayed an extra day. Because we friends like dat. I played a lot of GTA3 during this time, and unlocked Staunton Island. Yes, be proud of me. Then I went home, and watched 27 Dresses with Katherine Heigl (what a funny name!). It wasn't as bad as I expected it would be.

Today, I went to school, blablabla. Nothing exciting. I got home, ran a mile, and got on the computer for the first time in a week. How eventful.

Well, Kit's parents are going to their cabin for tomorrow, so she gets to hang out here. That's pretty cool. Me, my parents, and her are going to Sweeney Todd at the Mahaffey Theatre tomorrow! I can't wait!

We also celebrated Cinco de Mayo in Spanish Class today. We had a foodies-filled fiesta. Hurrah.

That's all for now. Well, actually (what better time than the present?)...
