Beginning of Spring Break

----- Monday ----

Monday was my last day of P.E. Thinking back on it now, I kinda miss it. I miss the stupidity, and the laziness in the class--Not everyone is stupid. Let me just say, life moves a little slower in J39. There is always that group of girls who you have to wait for because they walk soo slow-- I don't miss them. Anyway, I took the final and I had the second highest grade in all of the classes who took the final. So I felt really good about that.

---Tuesday---

Day of the Concert!!!
To start the day off, I had a new class to replace my Personal Fitness class. I'm in contemporary literature now. People actually can formulate correct sentences..instead of "Ay girl, Ay girl wit the blue jacket you wanna gimme the ball?" But I really like my new class. Although, I feel so stupid in it. Everyone knows all these dates, and events!! So it was the night of the concert, and I started to get nervous as I was waiting to play. It has never really happened to that extent. I was scared that I would forget the beginning, but I didn't. So we ended the night at Chilli's --that was fun. I got to sit with the Bobby, Mandy and their friend. I somehow got kicked out of my other table because the sophomores couldn't handle being with other people, and had to be at the table with a special person.


WEDNESDAY!!
It was moving day in piano! We had to move all the books, keyboards, and desks to the white box. So.... the next day was...

THURSDAY!
We had pizza in 3rd and that was fun. After.. which kinda killed the day, my third period teacher kinda dropped a bomb on us. She said we didn't do that great of a job. I thought I did a fine job. She specified the problem as saying that we didn't get our stuff together fast enough. But.... that was my last concert.. so I don't care, but I didn't like that there are still people that have concerts and have that weighing on their shoulders. I also had a Psych test that day.

FRIDAY!!!
NO one was at school today, and that kinda sucked. BUT!! we found out some really juicy stuff about Piano romances. Friday night was really fun tho. Sassy, J-baby, Kathryn, and I went to Lakeside... Macaroni Grill to be specific, and we just hung out later.

And today is Saturday!
I played tennis with "Angle" and it was fun. We got smoothies after.

Friday !*!*!*!

Well, today was pretty uneventful, but it was VERY fulfilling.

In first period,
I was freaking OUT about my 1 mile run today.. we have to cut our times down every time.. 1st time I had 17 something.. next time I had 16 something.. this time I had 13 something.. I was SO proud of myself a whole 3 Mins!! It was cool, but after my ankles really hurt. I think I probably run/ walk funny now, because my ankles never hurt before this year.

Next 2nd P. Well I wanted to get ahead in Psyc, so I started outlining chapter 9. Come to found out, we are skipping chapter 9, and moving onto 10..but we will still read 9 (so all that work wasn't for nothing)

3rd P!! Ok, Piano!! I have a lot of good friends in here.. mostly freshies, but they are nice, and clever.. not like those idiot sophomores.. So anyway, Bobby and I made the best character quiz for Evelyn Waugh's Vile Bodies. It is totally clever and unique, but still faithful to the characters. Oh and BTW, if you are one of my good friends you have heard me mention one of my all time favorite movies/ book...Bright Young Things or Vile Bodies.. it is SO good.
But the most important part today.. I got two gold stars.. roughly converting them into "a job well down" on my piano playing today for the upcoming concert.. It is true.. slacking till the last minute does pay off..Jk.

4th was kinda lame.. took a test, it was easy.
Then onto after school. After school was fun. I got to do the Indian dance.. it gets major laughs, and puts smiles on faces.
There is always something in the air on a Friday towards the end of the year. Pure nostalgia. I keep having all these feelings on leaving and how I it will never be the same.
This is a list of things I will miss when I leave highschool:

1). Wake up at 6:00 a.m. for school - I won't miss this, but it is a good starting point.
2). Inside jokes, these are the best.
3). Those days in class when there is a substitute and you know it is gonna be a goof off day. - I love those days
4). Wishing I had tried harder, but I live my life for fun. Not for work- that sounded so red cup party-ish
5). Lastly, the friends I made.

And Another thing...

More Comments guys.... I need more.. I feel I'm not being listened to. :(

Thursday the 20th of March

Today is Thursday! I love Thursdays...they are those days where you know its Friday, and you know Friday will be fun. Well.. today I had a match, I lost - but don't care-- its was tough. Anywho,... just workin on AP shiz.. Art History and Psyc.. Oh yeah, and I guess I've missed a lot of days in 1st Period... so the "Pam" character at my school was like " you've missed a lot of days" and i was like...well, i never said anything, but I thought it. "Are you serious?? What do you expect.. A senior, ... last semester.. who's first period is P.E. ... I damn well know I have the highest --GIPA aka G.P.A. --shout out to Hastings.. and I practically am the only one who doesn't need the book to pass the quizzes. Sorry, but "Nah" isn't an answer to "List 3 things that you can do to improve your fitness level" these rookies in my class... guh, well next 9 weeks I'll be in a class where people can read.. Contemporary Literature. That will be fun.. I hope it isn't just American Literature though, I like British Lit. more, and was displeased by my English IV Hon. curriculum this year.

Another good thing that happened today- I aced my Oral Quiz for AP Art History- it was on Non European Art. Not a fan, but its 2-5 % of the Test (that was one of the answers)

I just want to say.. THANKS Sabby for the Candy today, and yesterday. They make me so happy. Although I feel a bit like Kiki, when I accept it - but I guess I don't ask for it.. so that is different.
AND!! Lil Angel or Tinkerbell, thanks for the print out on Jason Schwartzman, even though he looks "ugly" in Sabby's eyes. I still like him.. for his talent, and humor, sans the mustache.
Ohhhh!! and, just a plug... Piano Concert!! March 25, 2008 @ 7:30!!! yeah, I'll be playing a Mendy piece. Hope to see you there!

Decent Days and Nights

Well... I haven't blogged since day 1 of FCAT, and I must tell about day 2.

On day 2-----

I had a LOVELY breakfast w/ the bots @ Panera, caught up, and I had a really great time. I love spending time with them. They really make my days turn out better than expected. Ok, onward. I was told by my piano/school teacher to come to school after 10:30. I, like a good little student showed up at around 11. I didn't know if they would still be testing and all that. So i was there, and then I ran into Paris and Tinkerbell. They told me the teacher wasn't there, and then i went to the jazz room. I brought 2 sleeves of oreo cookies for the piano class, and since practically 7/8 of them were not there I gave them to some very hungry orch kids. After lunch, everybody ditched me (piano people) except Vanessa Carlton aka James... he then started playing popular music, and then other kids started to join in, Billy Joel's Piano Man was even hummed. We played Guitar Hero too, and of course I rocked the Strokes' Reptillia - which was on easy, I should def. change it up and play it on medium next time.

So after that kinda mild crappy day, I went to school kinda late..whoops, but I don't care. Uh nothing interesting. I lost my doubles match cause I played w/ someone who REALLY pisses me off.. she is just really immature, and I'd rather play w/ some who is in my league. But I really dont want to sound cocky, but there are some younger people who are very mature, others are just not.

FRIDAY!!!!

ok Performance class... drag, i kinda screwed the pooch on that, but I'll get it together.. hopefully.
Later on, I got my senior portraits done.. uh unfortunately I will not be in the year book, but its ok...
After that, I caught up with the tennis crowd, and we had dinner at Black and Brew. After that we walked around, jumped on the rubber squishy mulch, hung out with the gold people..from behind...eesh, and then ended the night watching Devil Wears Prada at Nikki's. BTW, the Christian character...totally U-G-L-Y, and everyone thought the same thing that night.

So Saturday... Prob the BEST day this weekend..
First I had to stay up late on Sat. to make a cake for a party, and I was REALLY stupid, I bought the writer's icing but not the frosting...Guh, I get so caught up in the moment, and forget things all the time. Anyway, I had to set up for HAC Prom, and that was semi fun- actually it wasn't, but it was for community service.

After that!!! Was the best part.... OFFICE PARTY!! I heart the show the Office, and we dressed up as characters, ate food that was mentioned on the office, mainly celebrated Michael GARY Scott's B-day and Eva Longria, and finally played the Diversity Day Game. I was Jan, Grace was Kelly, Julie was Angela, Geary was Karen, Kathryn was a very believable Pam, Dwight was Alex, and Paige was Stanley- that was funny. Sadly no Michael, I couldn't love or abuse anyone like Jan..just kidding. Thereafter, we played a game with index cards with people's names or races, and asked questions about them.

So after that it was Prom. Prom was ok, I heard some rumors where people thought I was having a little bit more fun than everyone else... but I was straight, and just acting crazy. That was fun. Oh, and someone most likely got toed that night.. that was the highlight. It was this red haired kid..i felt bad, he looked like he would have a really bright future... this might spoil him.

There was an after Prom party that I went to, but I was really tired, and can't remember much.
And on Sunday, I played tennis with my sister, it was hot, and I won our game.

FCAT-FREE DAY 1

So today was an ok/ fun/ stressful day. But only because someone made it that way...


Alright, so no FCAT-- for me!!! That made today really great. I love driving around when other people are at school. I'm always so surprised that there are people not at work or school or how many people are on the road.. And i always like it that I'm at neither of those places, but I don't work, but I sadly go to school. Well, I went to breakfast with a few friends at Lakeside today. And another thing... they play the best 80s music during the day!! i heard like two great songs that i downloaded asap when I came home.
Next, I went to get a book. I remembered this one book I read when I was little (9 or 10), and I forgot how it ended. The book was the Westing Game - i like group murder mysteries.. the kind where its a big group, and someone dies, and NO one seems sad about it.. well, I guess it's a light hearted mystery...
Anyway, the fun part was when I picked my sister up (and friends) and went to tennis practice. We had a game today, and we W-O-N!! And the stressful part was when my coach was like "Annie, do you want to play a (fun) match?" Inside thoughts (OH YEAH). BUT!!! my sister wanted to go home....what a tease (as Michael G. Scott would say) and I couldn't. I was SO perturbed. GUH, just thinking about it...

After that.. I had to do an Oral Quiz for FLVS (my online school, its where you have to call the teacher and take a test over the phone) my class is AP Art History, and I really enjoy it.
So thats it.. and again an FCAT free day... BUT i have to go to school to play piano, but I DO really want to see all my friends in piano.
... guh oh those concerts.. you baffle me..

Hello!!! My name is Annie and this is my first blog. First and foremost, this is a blog describing the meanderings of my life, and certain conversations that strike my fancy throughout the day that I think I should share with my fellow friends. So Anyway, let me explain day one of my blog day.


Well a wonderful start of the day, I woke up slightly, and surprisingly early -- at around 7:45..eesh. I was kind of excited, today was my tennis game in Sarasota and I was excited about being with my friends for a complete day of tennis and Saturday fun. But!! first I went to the Beacon Starbucks and had coffee with my meem (Mom). I've never really liked the starbucks on Beacon, the parking SUCKS and so does the service. So i'm trying to enter the lane into Starbucks, and this STUPID SUV is in the way, and there is a whole line of cars in the drive-through, and I was COMPLETELY baffled and worried about the Bucks police that was going to cite me for my horrible driving, but don't worry. I shimmied my self into a safe parking place....


OK, for the real stuff!!! So found out after 6 missed calls, and 4 voicemails.... the game was canceled, and there was an impromptu tennis practice at the courts. Anyway, after the wind got to our heads... we decided a picnic was in order. We picnicked at Barnett Park, and brought blankets, and our sandwiches for the matches. And of course we took pictures with the "gold people"... probably inappropriate pictures that will be used against us when we become notable. After that, we probably knocked about 10 years off of our ages and played on the playground with the other children. After that, we went to my friend's house and watched the office. Some wonder episodes....the last snippet of Gay Witch Hunt -301, Grief Counseling , and the ever wonderful Product Recall with an extra special watermark.

My day fully ended with drinkin the night away.. literally, but we left early so... the night ended at about 8:30. Anyway, I really want to better myself and introduce myself into new things, mainly I just want to possess knowledge in a cornucopia of topics... Wine was tonight's learning experience. Now, typically I NEVER drink, but as I said before... aficionado... so I'd let my hair down (not literally, my hair is only pretty down) and taste the wine. So, i found not only do i loathe alcoholic beverages, they mainly taste like cough syrup, but i like the more mild to dry white wines. My mom kept thinking i was "buzzed" but I didnt know what that felt like.. so w/e if i was. i wasnt driving. Alls I know.. my skin was HOT, like burning.. but that probably had to so with the main afternoon fun outside.

So there you go, my first of (maybe) many more blogs.

Goodbye my fair-weathered friend.
