We Interupt this Broadcast

Yello everybod-ay!

I am soooooo glad it's finally Saturday X). I still have a lot of work to do, but it's nice to have some free time. ^^ Here are the random updates:

I FINALLY CAUGHT A LIGHTNING BUG!!!! Since it was so hot, they weren't out for the longest and I was getting depressed thinking they didn't come to my area. Eventually though, I began to see one or two sparingly. The problem is they are super smart!!! D: I mean, really smart. As soon as I would run after one, it'd fly too high. Normally, lightning bugs never flew higher than over fence level, but here they go above roofs! Unfair. But finally, just a couple of days ago, I caught one :) I'm so happy X).

Drama: Well I decided I wanted another schedule change. (I'm so indecisive ><') This time it was because I realized that National AP Scholar requires fours on 8 AP test, and with my current schedule I'll have a total of 7 classes. I figured, what's one more? (Yes, that's not a rational thought but oh well.) However, that means I have to score at LEAST a 4 on ALL my tests this year. .-. Fun, fun, fun. So I wanted to switch my Gov class to AP. The problem was though, that I would have to switch my Biology class. In case you don't remember, that's one of the few classes I actually have friends in, so I didn't want to. It's taken a few days, but I [think I] finally got to switch English instead. Ironically, in the time it's taken to switch, I've made friends in both English and regular Government. So now I'll have to leave them. :(

Speaking of AP tests, I found something out. (If you read my google status, then you know what I'm about to say :P). First off, I was happy when I found out AP tests are FREE here in AR (compared to $60 a pop in TX) but the other day I found out that you also get PAID $100 for every test you pass! SERIOUSLY?! Tell me that's not insane. .-.

Now for the sad news: my strawberry is dying T-T. At first I thought it was the intense sun. Mom tried blaming me for not watering it enough (even though I hadn't changed my watering schedule). Dad tried saying I didn't transplant it correctly. Then, just now, he said he realized what the problem was. The soil we used in the transplant is basically mulch and the strawberry is so sensitive to the decomposition of the wood chips it can't take it. Right after I had opened the bag, but before the transplant began, I read that the soil was "not for potted plants." So I freaked out, ran to Mum and told her. She said it'd be fine, but I warned her I'd be super angry if it died. She said sure, whatever, it won't die. Now she's mad that I'm mad at her.

Hopefully, I can transplant it again with REAL soil and it'll survive. <3 We also got a baby cabbage plant today at the farmer's market :D. But now I can't transplant it :/. Mum told me just to go plant it outside in the ground, but the soil is not too great and I refuse to plant it until we have some way of protecting it from Kiko (he pees on all of our plants ><'''). Therefore, we need soil ASAP for the baby cabbage. :)

School has been ok. I've been talking to the people around me. My friends though are still kinda iffy. Ting is still my closest friend. I've gotten closer to Matilde, Uniquea (I think that's how you spell it...), and Mallory. But still. Mom's already like, "You should invite your friends to go to the movies or to lunch on your b-day!" ".....what friends Mom?" We'll see. :P

On a completely random note: I looked HOT on Friday! I've made Friday dress-up day. So I wear fancy-ish clothes. Friday's outfit was this sleeveless black zipper dress. Literally, you zip it on ;). I also had black and white striped tights and boots. (I was gonna wear sandals then remembered I had a lab....) Boy did I look fine! ......and still no guys. :( Ah well.

That's all I can think of right now. I gotta go do some chem and bio homework. TELL ME HOW THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL WAS YOU GUYS!!! And Tut: I may take you up on that offer next semester ;).

We return you to your original broadcast,

Out and About

Phew! I'm pooped :P lol not completely but I AM tired. Today was basically a day about the town!!! :) We hit hobby lobby to buy some paint. Stopped by the farmer's market. Then to the mall to check out glasses (I'm getting a new pair on mon!). Then Walmart for our all around shopping needs XP (That's actually where I'm getting my glasses ><'''').

But in the Walmart parking lot, we saw a lost pup! As soon as we saw, my mum of COURSE stopped the car and was like, "We must save it!" I was a little hesitant because it had its tail between its legs which of course means it was scared (and when dogs are scared they either bolt (which might result in her getting run over) or charge at us (and all we needed was a dog attack)). But when my mom called her, she perked up instantly. She was SO CUTE <3 and mega sweet. She was a pit bull mix, but she'd come running over and roll onto her back in a submitting position so you could rub her belly. While we were waiting for animal control she was all over me and trying to lie on my lab. :D (Only bad part was she had fleas ><'). Before the cops could come, however, her owner (who apparently was shopping in the store) came a claimed her.X)

Other than our temporary puppy, I made a painting! It's pretty cool. I was going to do the whole pop balloons filled with paint thing........until I realized I have TERRIBLE aim XD. So I just did splatter >=D. Me and my mom ran around the canvas squirting paint out of the bottles. ^^ It looks pretty cool! I'll take a pic of it once it's on my wall :D

But that's about all folks. -_-' Life sure feels busy though so what more can I really ask for ^-^

Ta Ta,

I can't feel my [insert random body part here]

Omg it's so late T-T (for me anyway, bed time's literally in like 5 so I'll prob just go to bed late) and I've only just NOW really gotten to sit down and do NOTHING. (well I am typing this, but that's dif :P)

Yesterday night was EXTREMELY stressful. To put it simply, yesterday was a bad day for business.

Today was a bit better. Despite me killing the dog the night before (I swear, he was just running one second, limping the next!), we still woke up this morn to drive him all the way out to this lake because it's the only leash free trail that we know of. .......Sadly, the road was closed..........which we found out when we got all the way out there. Plus side: we ended up stopping by the farmer's market and this organic food place. Down side: I hadn't gotten to take a shower yet cuz we were supposedly "just walking", was in a terrible outfit (meant for a trail not for town square), and we had no money (cuz who needs money at a trail?) Then we came home, got presentable and all, before getting us some BRUNCH! Followed by chaos at Walmart for Tax-Free school supplies.

Really though, things didn't go crazy til I started THE TASK. What is THE TASK you ask? THE TASK was to unpack all of my boxes today. THE TASK seemed possible when I started. THE TASK seemed finishable when I continued. I even (basically) completed THE TASK. .........but it all came at a very great price. T0T My whole body is KILLING me and I'm just so exhausted. Didn't help that we went on an extra long walk with Kiko tonight too. Even the yummy dinner with some of the cucumbers from the market and frozen yogurt from the organic place didn't ease the pain.

And tom? OFF TO ANOTHER LAKE! YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY! (That's actually not totally sarcastic, I quite like exploring........s'long as I'm prepared :P)

As for the runway poll...........................

I STILL DON'T HAVE MY MIRROR AND THE STUPID BATTERIES I BOUGHT FOR MY CAMERA DIDN'T WORK!!!!!!!!!! (Once I'm trying to put them in, mom comes in and NOW chooses to say "Oh that camera only takes special batteries".........even though she was there with me when I bought THESE batteries today and after I SPECIFICALLY said THIS is what the batteries were for ><'''')

So hopefully by the latest, pics will be up on Mon. (which is the latest cuz sched pickup is weds, YIKES!)

Missing slacking in Texas,
