Summin' it up...

It's been a pretty busy week.

Sunday was the "Back to School Bash" at my church where I had to supervise the small children as they ran around and hit each other.. Yeah, I'm not too good with kids. Later that day, Rebekah was going to come over, but she went to the movies with Aaron instead (whatevs, Rebekah). Mom's friend Kim came over and brought her son and her son's girlfriend. It was really super awkward so I got Will to walk over to me (his dorm is like seven feet from my house) and we hung out for a little bit before he had to go to a meeting for being a resident at UPike.

Monday. Mom left for NC that morning when Abby and I went to school. Terreasa's husband, Laymon, works one week, and then has another week off, etc, so when he's working, Terreasa needs someone to take her to her cancer therapy (radiation every day, chemo once a week). Mom helped this week with her. Around sixish, I picked up Will and drove around with him a little before I had piano at seven. All the moving in and craziness at the college was really stressing him out so I guess he just needed to talk a little and he was fine. Everything is really hard on him lately. I guess it's a pretty substantial change to get used to. Everything's okay now, though ♥

Tuesday. School, babysitting, blah. Except no babysitting. I was supposed to babysit. When I got there, Kelli was already home. I don't think I have enough fingers to count on my hands how many times she's forgotten to tell me that she didn't need me. I guess it's not the end of the world when it happens, but it is really frustrating. Later that night, I went to see Conan with Rebekah. It was pretty good, but also sort of strange and it had tons of nudity... So it made for an uncomfortable time. Rebekah thought it was hilarious. A bunch of confusing stuff happened with Will that night, but everything's alright.

Wednesday. Was. Amazing!! It made ten months for Will and I. So we talked and hung out from 4:30 to 9:30 that night. We went to youth group, to eat, and to WalMart. Haha ;). We're so lucky to have a relationship like we do. That day when I got out of school, I walked to my car, and there was a card in it waiting for me, from him. It was so freaking cute, too. I love that he just randomly broke into my car to give me a card xD! Though, it was the sweetest card ever ♥♥

Thursday, yesterday. In the morning, around 7:00am, Will randomly came to my house and dropped off mocha coffee to me! It was pretty awesome ♥. Later, I had to give my first speech for my public speaking class. I was SOOO nervous. Everything went well, though, and I got a 20/20 on the assignment :D! I seriously thought I was going to freak out and shake and stumble over my words.. or worse.. get a B. Haha. Just kidding. Sort of.

Today's Friday. School, blah. Another pep rally today. I hate them! After school, I babysat Daniel until around 4:30, when his dad picked him up for football practice. Then I went on over to the church since I had voice at 5:15. ...though it ended up being a little after six before I even got started. Afterward, Mom, Will, and I went to the movies to see Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. It was creepy! We took a random fruit and cheese plate to snack on. Best movie snack ever. Seriously.

AND I FOUND OUT THAT HARRY POTTER IS GOING TO BE IN A SCARY MOVIE OMGGGGGGGGGGG

Tomorrow's when Pikeville plays in the Pike County Bowl. We play at 8:30pm and I have to be there for band. Afterward, Felicia's staying the night here and Sunday morning, she, Abby, Will, and I are heading to Louisville to see Train and Maroon 5! Woo :)!

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

AMY LEE WAS LIKE TWO FEET FROM ME

It's Friday. Yay sleeping in late tomorrow ♥

This week has been akfjafojwifav. But Wednesday was AMAZING. Mom picked me up from school around 12:40 and we drove to Nashville, TN to see EVANESCENCE!!! AJDKFJAIFDJ! It took us around five hours. At first, Mom got reeeeally confused because she didn't realize that we had gone into a different time zone xD! We ate at this super fancy schmancy restaraunt called Morton's. They pulled out and pushed in my chair for me, put my napkin on my lap, and cleaned off the crumbs from our table in between courses. It was amazing. Mom and I both got iceburg wedge salads, filets with lobster tail and asparagus, and we shared a chocolate souffle. I'd never had a souffle before.. It was amazing. After dinner, we headed over to the War Memorial Auditorium to see Evanescence! They were FANTASTIC! I don't even have words to describe them and how they sounded. Amy Lee. I'm going to marry her one day, just you wait and see.

Thursday was pretty miserable, though. The concert ended around 12am CST, so we got home around 6am EST. And then I had to wake up at 6:45am. Yes. 45 minutes after we got back home. School was absolutely crazy. After school, I came home and napped, and then I had to go to my public speaking class at Big Sandy. Now I have to give a speech this upcoming Thursday. Great. It was just a really tiring day, but going to that concert was SOOO worth it.

Today. Super tired again. I have a cold :(. I went to school, played at a pep rally, babysat, had a voice lesson, and had to go back to school to play at the football game. The band played the banner in an arc for the pregame show. It's the most we've done like that in a while, so it was pretty exciting. Except Will the Goober didn't watch us at all. He was too busy talking to pedo Marcum... But ya know, no big deal, if he doesn't wanna watch me, then.. Then he's mean :(. We won the game- wooo. After the game, Will was a goober again and followed me all the way back to my house. I hugged him for a bit and he went home. Then I worked on my art folder project thingy wingy for a little bit and played some WoW.

And now I'm really extremely tired and I'm goin' to bed. And I'm going to stay there for a long, long time. :D

Pottermore needs to welcome me. Now.

Later on Sunday, Rachel went home. I'm really sad they're moving to Michigan.. but I'm hopeful about opportunities to see Sean now! Michigan and Wisconsin are like... really close! Sorta! But they're super close compared to here! :D! Anywayyy. After they left, I was super tired and I played WoW a bit. Then I found energy to go see Planet of the Apes with Will. It was really good. Parts of it were really sad, though.. I really hate the lead character's neighbor.. I wish he had been mauled to death by one of the chimps.

Yesterday, I went to school, blah blah. Got lots of homework.. An essay, two take-home tests, and a chapter of reading. I finished it all while babysitting after school, though, which was good. I came home and read my book for a bit, and then went to piano at 7. I'm working on this really cool piece called La O'rage, which means "the storm." It's really creepy/pretty. After piano, I picked up Will at WalMart, drove back to town, and we walked around the park/downtown for about an hour or so. It was a nice night out, and our cat friend followed us again! (I don't remember if I wrote about our cat friend.. One day while we were walking to the park, a cat followed us the WHOLE time we were out, and even followed us back to Will's :D!)

Okay.. Today. School. Blah. But good news! I am now in AP Psychology! Revised schedule:

1. AP Psychology
2. Art 1
3. AP Language / English 111
4. Chorus SATB
5. College Algebra
6. Musical Theater
7. Band

Yay! I'm so excited. I'm gonna graduate with 24 hours now! I'm reeeeally happy about that. So, other than that (yay!), this morning, anyone enrolled in dual credit courses had to go over to UPike for a tour, paperwork, and an ID card. It took forever, it seemed, but it was nice to get some fresh air. But it was killin' me that Will's was essentially across the street from where I was. After school, I didn't have to babysit, so I came straight home and played WoW for a while xD. Then, around 5:15, Will picked me up and we drove to Rebekkah's to pick up Abby. She was there working on a project with Rachel, Rebekkah's little sister. Rachel and Abby are friends. Then we dropped Abby off at home and drove to GoodWill, but they told us they weren't taking any more donations for the day :(. So we ate at Pig in a Poke. It was my first time eating at the one in Pikeville. It was pretty nice to sit out on the deck and look over on the river. After we ate, Will dropped me off here and now here I am!

Now it's time for bed ♥

Oh yeah.. and I am DESPERATELY waiting for my Pottermore welcome letter, trying to be patient and not let it consume my whole life. My progress in that... Not so good. Goodnight!

Toys for Tots and concerts, too

So. Friday. Went over to Big Sandy to register. A huge mass of people showed up to register- it was a mad house and I had to wait for FOREVER to see an advisor to register for my class. Then there were computer issues and they couldn't find my test scores on the computer. So I had to wait in line to see ANOTHER lady. It was craziness. Eventually, though, I registered. I am now offically a "student" at Big Sandy. And at UPike.. And PHS.. xD. This is retarded. I hate school. After school on Friday, I babysat Daniel until around five, and then came home, absolutely exhausted. I was going to go to the movies with Will but I was SO tired. I literally fell asleep in mid-conversation with Mom. I woke up around 9:30 or 10pm that night feeling really energized. So Will and I played WoW until like 2:30am.. hehe.

Saturday. Yesterday. I woke up around 11. Nanna, Kari, Rachel, and Keegan came over just a few minutes after I woke up. And Abby had her friend Megan over. At 2, we all went to the movies. Rachel and I saw Glee, and Abby, Megan, and Keegan saw The Smurfs Movie. Glee made me cry like eight times and it wasn't even sad.. It was just really good. It gave me chills throughout. After our movie, Will picked Rachel and I up and we drove to Elkhorn to go to a concert that was sponsoring Toys for Tots. We stopped at the dollar store there to buy some toys. We got a police gun playset, a bubble blowing kit, a lipgloss set that had a different color for every day of the week (super adorable), and a giant My Little Pony. Then we drove on over to the concert. It was raining, not too badly, so there weren't very many people there at the concert.. But it was still pretty fun. The guy we gave our toys to seemed really excited that we were donating. After the concert, we drove on up to the Breaks and ate at the lodge there. It was really pretty. Everything Will and Rachel was doing kept making me laugh so hard I was snorting. Even some of the stuff I was doing was cracking me up xD! It was a really good day. We drove home from Elkhorn blasting music. We took the long way home, and then Will dropped Rachel and I off, and he had to go home :(. Once Rachel and I were inside, I grabbed a seat at the table with Keegan, Abby, and Megan. I watched Keegan build some Lego witch doctor thing and occasionally would shout out answers to Abby and Megan playing Harry Potter SceneIt.. :). I don't even know what time I went to bed.

Now today. So far, haven't really done anything except for eating breakfast and sitting around with Rachel and Keegan while Keegan plays Super Mario Galaxy. I'm gonna go and see what adventures await me today. Rebekkah might be coming over later. I'm not sure. It depends on what time everyone else leaves.

I'm a senior now.. But I'm more excited to be a "freshman" again

So.. yesterday was my last first day of high school. I like saying that. All this college talk is stressing Mom out since we've not really gotten started. As of now, I'm just excited about it. Later, though, I'm sure I'll be stressing about deadlines and all that other readiness stuff right along with Mom. Anyway. I've had a stress-filled first two days of school. Stuff with my schedule was just completely wrong. I didn't even HAVE a third period. So I just hung out with Mr. Houston. However (though I'm not going into the details because that would be extremely complicated and long and really not worth it..), I finally have a schedule worked out:

1. AP English Language / English 111
2. Art 1
3. Psychology
4. Chorus SATB
5. College Algebra
6. Musical Theater
7. Band

I really would have liked to have been in AP Psychology.. but it just couldn't happen. Full slots and teachers not wanting big classes and just really stupid stuff. So I'm taking regular psychology. Last year it was a bit of a flop.. But this year, Mr. Asbury is teaching it and he's promised to make it a challenge. Good. I need for my brain not to be rotted out right before I start college, thank you.

Tomorrow morning, I'm going to Big Sandy (community college) before school to register for my evening class there. It's a class called Communications- a public speaking class. It will give me three college credit hours. It's really a good opportunity, since I'll be getting one of my prerequisites out of the way for whatever major I decide to persue. I'm making myself sound really nerdy, so I'm just going to talk about something else.

I wish I could remember everything that happened between going to Phelps with Will (last post) and yesterday. I'm finding it difficult. Sunday, we went to Jenny Wiley to see the Frog Prince. It was cute. Monday, I started piano, and Will and I went to the movies and saw Harry Potter again :D. Tuesday, I babysat from 7:30am to 4:30pm. Then Will and I went to Peking. I can't really remember what happened on what day or really what happened at all... Grr.. I'm sorry. I'm sure that everything that happened was really very important to me, but

I'm just so tired and I think my brain has decided to quit for tonight. THAT is why I need to update regularly.. hehe. And I'm really excited.. because I think I have a new reader!

Goodnight!

Adventures in Phelps!

This computer's homepage is yahoo. On yahoo's main page, there's a sidebar on the left with the most popular searches. Number one was "10 yr old Vogue model." At first I thought, "that's cool!" and I clicked. But it definitely is not cool. They've got this ten-yr-old little girl named Thylane Loubry Blondeau pouting her lips, showing off her hips, and doing other sexy poses for the French Vogue. It's disgusting. Yeah, she's a pretty little girl. But it's gross. She's laying on tigers and putting on lipstick and ajdkfjalkfdljewfoawfsdc. They're exploiting this little girl, in simpler terms. It's really disturbing.. Imagine what kind of work she'll be doing when she's 13.. Ew. I hope her parents get some sense knocked into them between now and then.

Annnnnnnnyway! I had a pretty good day. I woke up, Will called me, and we talked for a while. Then Mom called and told me she wanted me to take Abby and go wash and vacuum the car out. Blah. But we did. After we came home, I played WoW for about an hour and then Will picked me up. First we went to the UPike bookstore and I got a tee shirt. Then, we drove to this restaruant in Phelps called Hornets or something and got pizza and krazy bread. We got to the restaraunt after getting lost a few times, true, but we eventually made it there. After we ate, we made our way home. On the way, I saw a sign for the oldest cemetery in the area, so we stopped to look at it. It was reeeeally cool. There were people there that had been buried in the 1700s! After we looked around for 10 minutes or so, we drove home. Once we got to Pikeville, we drove to Page 3 to see if it was still open.. It wasn't :(. We were passing the football field. UPike was practicing so we decided to stop for a second to see if we could pick out Will's new roommate, since he's on the football team. We couldn't figure out which one he was, so we just went home. Will dropped me off, and now here I am. It was a good day ♥

I'm gonna go take a shower and maybe read my book a little. I'm rereading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for the 438092802859240804 time, rounded down. xD!

Later! :)

Another nerdy day 8)

This morning, I woke up and decided to go through my clothes that I never wear anymore and give them away to Goodwill. It was a really random decision, yeah, but I guess a good one? Two benefits: needy people get some semicute clothes and I get my closet/drawers organized! It's a win-win. After that, I sat around some with Mom watching tv. Mom made dinner, and then she, Abby, and I went walking up at the cross country trail again for about forty minutes. From there we drove to youth group at 6 and I met Will there. Vacation Bible School (VBS) at my church is this Friday and Saturday. Will and I are doing registration for when kids first come in, and we're leading the singing and dancing, also. Then school starts on the tenth :/... I am NOT excited. But, on the bright side, I get to see Evanescence on the 17th!!!!! AMY LEE! AH! Great things are happening to me lately, I tell ya! After youth, Will and I drove back to my house and played D&D for a bit, but we got very confused very early into it. We've decided we need to find someone that knows how to play to Dungeon Master for us so we can get a better feel for it. I'm surprised the Big Bang Theory characters don't play! Hehe. After that we just kind of watched some YouTube videos, and he had to go home. Then we played WoW for a bit, and now here I am. My trial WoW account is almost used up :(.... It makes me sad. I'm gettin' sleepy... Goodnight!

Disney & DnD

Today is Tuesday, August 2nd. I got back from Disney on July 31st (Harry's birthday!). Early that morning, I woke up and was one of the first people in the whole entire world to gain early entry into Pottermore! My clue: "How many breeds of owl are featured on the Eeylops Owl Emporium sign? Multiply this number by 49." There are five breeds of owl featured X 49 = 245. So I had to type in www.quill.pottermore.com/245 and it led me to the Magic Quill!! There I entered personal information to find out if I am considered magical. Guess what!? I AM! I'm down in the book of magical people! My name was listed right above Harry's! I'm SOOO excited. It's a REALLY big deal for me that I got in. Only ONE MILLION people in the WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD are allowed in early over the span of ONE WEEK. And I'M ONE IN A MILLION! OMG! I'm going crazy. I'm not sure really what it IS yet, because I've yet to receive my welcome email that lets me have full access to the site. The only email I've received so far is my verification email that lets me log in, but not fully access it. I'm not worried, though. Pottermore said that it was normal to have to wait for up to two weeks to get your welcome email, where the beta is being overloaded or something like that. Annnnnnyway.. 

My week at Disney. Well.. It was.. Umm.. Unique. I spent it with Kathy (mom's friend/coworker/whatever), Payton (turning 10), and Layken (turning 5). Let's just say that I'm very tired from that trip.

On July 31st (Sunday), after I gained early entry into Pottermore (!!!), our flight to Washington DC left from Orlando at 9:05am. We arrived in DC around 11:15am. Then, our flight from DC to Charleston, WV was at 12:36pm, though we had a bit of a late departure due to waiting for other planes or something. We landed in Charleston around 2pm. Will, Mom, and Abby were there to pick me up. Will immediately ran at me and hugged me ♥. From the airport, my crew and I went to the Charleston Mall and shopped around a bit. We ate at Buffalo Wild Wings, went to Shoe Carnival, and then drove home. It was a good day.

Yesterday, I went to registration at school around 1:30. I got everything done that I could before I had to go to the dentist's at 2:30. After I got my teeth cleaned there, we had to go back to the school. I had scheduling conflicts, though, so I had to wait until today to "officially" turn my stuff in. After that, we came back home and Will came over around 6:30ish. Around 8, we went for a walk on the cross country path. It was nice.

Today. Abby and I went to Subway with Dad around 1:00. Then we went to the high school to turn in my stuff. My schedule:
   1. AP Psychology
   2. Art 1
   3. AP Language / English 101 and 102
   4. Chorus SATB
   5. College Algebra
   6. Musical Theater

   7. Band

My scheduling problems were that some classes were only offered one period, and I had conflicting periods. So I'm taking more "flop" classes than I would have liked. To make up for it, I'm taking a communications (public speaking) class at Big Sandy (community college) every Thursday from 6:00pm-8:30pm. I'm glad I get to go ahead and get that class out of the way, since it's a prerec for any major.

After we left the school, Dad dropped Abby and I back off at home. Mom got home around 3, and we went to Maurices for MORE shopping... Argh. I got a neat top, though. So it wasn't too bad. Then we went to Peking for sushi, but I wasn't too hungry so I just ate rice. After Peking, Mom and Abby went on home after Mom dropped me off at Will's car around 6ish. Will and I drove around some so I could hear his new stereo he got for his birthday. It was installed while I was gone to Disney so I didn't get to hear it first thing :(. But it was awesome! We went back to Will's to get the gelato he made me while I was gone, and then we went back to my house around 8. Once we got there, we ate some of the gelato (yum!) and started learning how to play Dungeons and Dragons, or DnD for short. It's SO fun! It's like WoW on paper! We spent three hours just developing the characteristics for our characters. Will is a rogue halfling and I'm a wizard halfling. It's gonna be super fun once we get all the beginning stuff out of the way. It's hilarious, though, because we have to keep the fact that we're playing from his mom because she thinks it's "the devil." Will left to go home around 11. Now here I am.

And here I go! Goodnight :)
