Mello Cello. Wooo. I have no clue what that is. Oh well. :) Today Heather picked me up around 6:45 before bringing her brother to school since we both had an Algebra test this morning at 8 am..... Yeah, well about that.... Our teacher canceled class. So neither of us had class until 12:45 (physics). So most of the time we sat, talked, did some homework and repeated that process. In physics we took some notes, did some examples of our new subject and then completed our quest for homework. I was suppose to have my cello lesson today but our water heater decided to malfunction and flood our basement so my mom had to go home immediately, taking my cello with her. Heather said she could take me home so we're in the library right now as she types her English paper and I worked on my English project. And yeah. :) Tonight I really have to catch up on NaNoWriMo because I've fallen behind.... NOOOO!!! And I need to eat because all I've had a was a bagel this morning ...

Hey guys! :) Today I was on campus at 10 AM because I needed a laptop for my 3:10 class but our secretary was going to leave at noon so I had to come before. Which was fine because I ended up just hanging out with Heather in the library until I had to eat lunch at 1. In English at 1:45, we met in the library to work on our Astrology Grendel project. And in Government, we finished our Electoral Collage notes and had a propaganda commercial assignment. After class, I walked with Heather to the Marks because she had to tutor this kid. Then at 5:30, we went to the library to work on our Physics lab report and Algebra quiz. We ended up sitting in the library until about 8 PM... Then, we stopped by the shell gas station to get slushies, she came over to my house to eat dinner and SHE HELPED ME DYE MY HAIR. MWUAHAHAHAHA. Yep, that happened. So yeah :)

Hey friends!! I DYED MY HAIR GREEN. WOOOO SURPRISE! I'll get to that later, but first ...... This morning I had a doctor's appointment on post at 8 am so I had to wake up at 6 in order to leave by 7:15. The appointment went well though and then I went grocery shopping with my mom at the Commissary and we grabbed a few things, mainly stuff for me, you know, fruit, veggies, and snack since I'm basically full vegetarian now. We swung by the house to put everything away and eat a quick lunch before going onpost. I had Senior Seminar at 12:20 where we had three guest speakers: UT Martin, some bank, and a lady for the honors program at Austin Peay. In English we were put into discussion groups for chapters 6-10, given projects to do (Brittany, Gabby, Emilia and I are doing Astrology) and then homework is to read chapters 11-12. My last class, Government, we just took notes the entire time over Political Parties and such. Afterwards, I had a battle of the books meeti...

Hello my fellow people. I'm trying to come up with different ways to say "hey" to guys, so if you have suggestions, comment them down below! Anyway, today was a really uneventful day. So I intended to wake up around 8 this morning but instead, my alarm ended up going off a million times and I didn't get out of bed until 10:30. Which, on the plus side, just means I got a good amount of sleep this weekend. I made myself some breakfast and watched my recorded episode of The Vampire Diaries , which is still amazing without Elena (Nina Dobrev) and that sort of surprised me. Anyway, then I began my very tedious work of homework. Ugh. So I realized I had 5 chapters of Grendel  by John Gardner to read, 4 chapters of E=mc2  by David Bodanis to read, and notes to write on Chapter 6 in my Psychology text book. Oh and I had scholarships and other applications to fill out. Yep. I'm a genius, aren't I? So that's what my day has consisted of and I'm sti...

Helllllllllooooo guyssss! :) This morning, my mom dropped me off at Austin Peay around 9:45 so I could work on the Government project with Heather. I ate lunch around 11:30 before going to my Senior Seminar class. We just presented our projects before being dismissed and then I went to the UC with Emilia and Gabby to hang out with Heather before going to English. In English, we had a quiz over chapters 1-5 and then when we finished we were dismissed. But I finished last and 2 minutes after class. So yeah. Then in Government, we presented our group projects and at 4:15, Heather, Emilia and I left class so we could go volunteer at Glenellen on time. Heather drove me there and we were a few minutes late but Emilia was almost 15 because of the crazy traffic. Heather and I were at some lame station called Plinko so we pretty much just talked the whole time so that was cool. On our way home, we stopped by the shell gas station to get Coca Cola Slushies, which were amazing! Heather ...

Today was picture day. Woo. Woo. Yeah so Heather waited on me today to go get pictures done, which was cool. Then we sat in Einstein's until I had to go to English. In class, we had a discussion on chapters 1-3 and had an activity. Which was it. She assigned us chapters 4-5 for homework. Then in Government, we met in the library and we were suppose to work on our group project but instead, Emilia, Channel, Heather and I sort of just played on our laptops the entire time. Then because I didn't feel well, I didn't go to dance, and we all went to Einstein's so they could all get food. It was fun. We chit chatted and stuff. At 7:00, Heather and I went to the OcTuba Fest where they sold food and we heard music and had a great conversation about like life and social issues. It was awesome. She brought me home around 9:00 and now I'm doing some homework. :)

Wooo. Back. To. School. :) This morning, since it was chilly, I decided to wear jeans, a turtle neck, and my green converse. I made myself breakfast while watching some YouTube videos and scrolling through Pinterest before having my French lesson with my mom. It went well, but I realized I really need to practice more so I've made myself a more rigid study schedule, so I can actually get everything I need to get done, done. Anyway, then I ate lunch with my parents before going to Austin Peay around noon. I dropped some stuff off in my locker and then sat outside of the Clement building with Taylor, Emily, Cara, and Emilia before English. In class we started reading Grendel  by John Gardner, which is so freaking good! I loved Beowulf and I loved the first chapter of Grendel. Actually, one my new favorite quotes will have to be... "The tender grasses peek up, innocent yellow, through the ground: the children of the dead."  (Gardner 7) LIKE OMG WHAT. THAT WAS SO P...
