I am conducting a survey for my English class, and would really appreciate it if everyone could give me their opinions. I will screen all comments so that no one can see your answers. Please answer honestly, and thank you to all who take it! I love you to death.
PS - if you've taken it already, it's changed slightly, so you could take it again if you feel like a survey!
Okay, this time I'm really leaving. Sometime around eight, I think. I still have to pack toothbrush/toothpaste and stuff, but that can only happen after I've brushed my teeth this morning.
I won't be back until late Saturday night, so most likely you won't hear from me until Sunday (Unless, in some miraculous circumstance, I don't feel like immediately crashing when I get home).
So today is my last day before Pine Ridge. I'm going to post some Pine Ridge facts here later, just to let everyone know what I'll be doing and where I'll be going. Plus, it's really important that people understand this because it's a national problem that tends to get ignored.
Right now I'm basically killing time before going to church (they want to introduce the Pine Ridge group to the congregation - I'm going through a church, though conversion is not our goal, our goal is to help the people and learn about their way of life). Why is it that church always seems to make the day so short? Probably because I get back from church and it's noon already.
Okay, now my mom's looking like she's ready to go.
I won't be updating for a while yet; I'm going to be gone at state forensics all weekend. All weekend meaning tomorrow and Friday. Then on Saturday I have the ACT and Grease to go to. And Sunday will be frantic studying over my German for Frau's final. So that's it in a nutshell.
I have to go study for the English final, pack, and write my questions for German. I should probably reread "Ein Tisch ist ein Tisch" as well, but that was so incredibly confusing ... and sad ... I don't know if my brain could handle it.
I'm going to be spending the rest of tonight doing homework; gosh, I'm really looking forward to the three day weekend. And! I get to work, therefore I make more money and will feel less bad about spending money on Saturday. Might buy myself a cell phone ... big news there.
Probably won't, though. And I'll most likely just shop sales, not find much but hopefully I'll get some really cute tops for summer. Or just some basic tanks. Or something. I've been going through my wardrobe lately and digging out all the crap that I never wear. Let me tell you, it's going to be one hell of a garage sale this year.
So right now I'm just doing after school things, like checking email, updating lj, checking myspace, that sort of thing. I have to go directly into my 6-second-snapshot after this; I honestly have so far to go on that it's not even funny. I tear apart my writing before I let other people see it these days. Then I have a ton of homework to do for German and Western Civ.
Forensics meet: Got fourth in Prose ... didn't expect any better. Attempted to flirt with an amazingly cute German foreign exchange student. Saw a friend of mine from Elementary school. It was interesting. Jeanna got double firsts! Yay!
I did manage to find myself some seriously hot capris/pants. I have a dark brown pair and a tan one, and they're both amazing and comfortable. I've actually been needing pants too, which is the best part. Not just random buying! Oh no!
Next I need to get some flip-flops. My last pair died over the summer and are too disgusting to wear.
Tonight I've got to finish reading for English and I'm going to start clearing out my drawers of stuff I just want to get rid of. It's getting really bad. I have too many clothes. Oh well.
At least I've accomplished some serious plot-planning this weekend for NaNo. I'm just overflowing with ideas and a project that won't require too much research, but just enough to keep me busy with research over the summer. I think this is actually a plot that could get published, too. Which is very promising.
But now, I'm off to go make myself feel slightly better about my lack of beautiful new sweater.
