The week before break...
The week before break is going to drag on even though it's already 3rd period on Tuesday. We had a 2-hour delay yesterday but the day seemed longer than shorter just because it's so close to Winter Break! You know what i hate the most about the last week before break? There is SO much stuff to do in all of my classes it's very overwhelming. They are all trying to get projects turned in this week and tests done before the break. I know it's a lot better for during the break because then there's no stress but it makes this week a lot worse.
One good thing about this week is that I don't have to work until Thursday this week so I have a lot of time to do the projects and studying I need to do, along with the naps that always make my life that much better! The bad thing is this nasty weather, not because it's so cold or the snow... I've already told you how I feel about that but for my car, Kermit (yes i named my car, shush). Kermit is usually spotless inside and out because he likes to stay clean. Well, this is very hard to keep up on because all the salt and dirt from the snow gets all over the outside of him. Also yesterday, I ran out of windshield whipper fluid and let's just say my windshield looks horrible! Good thing my dad is getting some today when he gets off work :) Now to the inside, I still get all the trash out of my car because I can't stand trash being in my car but it's pretty hard to motivate myself to vacuum the floors and seats and clean the interior when it's freezing outside. It makes me wish that I could take my car inside my house sometimes because it would be a lot more clean right now. I know I'm going to have to man up eventually because of my tidiness but it won't be at it's best until spring rolls around.
I hope everyone is excited about winter break. Happy Holidays to everyone and just enjoy that we won't have to be at this school at 7:35 A.M. for an entire two weeks. Wooohooo!

Snow....
I really can't stand the winter, the snow, or the cold because it isn't good for anything. It just makes us have to wear more clothes, be a lot more lazy, and sometimes i swear I'm just not as happy in the wintertime because of the weather. It's snowing like crazy outside right now and the roads are terrible... but please, nobody get your hopes up because we will have school tomorrow whether you like it or not and i am actually very glad for that!
I went through the scariest thing last week that's never happened to me before! I was admitted into the hospital for my asthma for the first time. I went to urgent care at children's and they decided I wasn't leaving that I had to be transferred to the ER. I don't like hospitals lets keep this in mind, they are just so depressing sometimes. I hate seeing people who are hurt, sick, or who could possibly not make it out alive. I ended up having to stay overnight, and at first I thought it was going to be a horrible thing but it didn't end up as bad as i thought it would.
The coolest thing about it is that I had room service to where i could order anything I wanted off the menu. I mean yeah, it's hospital food it's not the greatest but come on. Room Service? Sweet! I had cable and pretty much laid in a bed the entire time, it was very relaxing. Except for the part where they came to check my vitals every hour, got very annoying especially when I was trying to sleep! The other thing that I couldn't stand is that they wouldn't let me walk to the bathroom (it was literally 10 steps away) instead, they put me in a wheelchair. Must say I was living the life for a little bit except for the fact I felt horrible!
Being in the hospital made me think about what I want to do when I get older. People ask me day in and day out what I want to do when I get older and honestly I still couldn't tell you because there is just so many options out there! One thing I do know is being in the hospital and realizing how thankful I was for the people there to help make me get better that I just might go into a field that involves helping others, especially children. Kids are the one people who no matter what is going on, how tough things are, they always have a precious little smile on their face and it's so heartwarming. I would love to help make others get better and save lives, what more can you ask for?
I just want to let you know one more time how much I hate the snow. I have to drive 5 mph, leave earlier for everything, and everything else! One good thing about snow is it looks gorgeous on the trees that have lost all their leaves and it's just glistening in the sun, beautiful! Geesh, I can't make up my mind about this snow right now so I'm just going to act like it's not snowing and go to bed. And one more time, don't get your hopes up we will be at school bright and early on time. See you all there :)

Communication
Have you realized how much communication has changed since we've been born? I can't imagine back in the day when I had to send a letter or maybe get ahold of them on their home phone anymore. We haven't even had a home phone for about 5 years because the only people who call is telemarketers. The only time I can't stand not having a home phone is when I lose my cell phone at home because I have no way of calling it, if I'm home alone.
Another thing is texting, I can't imagine what I'd do without texting. That sounds horrible but that's honestly how it is for a lot of people now. The longest conversations I will hold on the phone now days is 10 minutes if i have a lot to say but I can text the same person all day because you can build on the conversation. I also love texting because if someone who texts me that I don't want to talk to it's as simple as I don't respond. When someone calls, they expect a call back so if i don't call them back they get offended or something. Texting is also so much more convenient because if i'm working or at school I can text people if i need to talk to them but i can't call them in the middle because it's not aloud.
I can admit there is pros and cons of texting but where is there not pros and cons of anything? The pros are a faster way of communication, short and to the point, and you don't have to always respond to someone if you don't really want to. Cons are you can't always tell exactly what they mean by their text with all the sarcasm these days. You never know someone's mood when your texting them because it's the easiest thing to lie through a text and that's definitely a con.
I sometimes wonder what it would be like to go back to the days where there wasn't even a telephone. Where the only things you knew were from letters and from when you talked to people face to face. Not as much drama would get started from people making things up and telling others about "what they thought they heard". I think life would be easier to live not always knowing exactly what was going on with everyone at the exact moment that it's going on.
So build me a time machine and take me back to those days. Take me back to when life was more simple and leave me there! I don't know about you but I know i couldn't live without my cell phone now but I would do anything to make them all disappear so it wasn't one of the main ways of communication even though i love texting, it is extremely overrated.
People shouldn't break up over text messaging or lose a friendship from one text that someone read the wrong way. They should talk things out face to face and then misconceptions like that wouldn't happen. You might not think that not having texting would solve a lot of social issues but I really think that it would.
Don't you agree?

Ghostly Holidays
For the past three nights I’ve jumped out of bed, wide awake, at 2:30 A.M. I stayed in bed each night after waking up because I think staying in my room is always the safest thing to do, like my door is some amazing shield or something. Every time I wake up I never hear sounds that would cause me any restlessness because my house makes a lot of different noises; having five animals, the house not being the newest, and with myself just being paranoid. On the fourth night, I decided to set my alarm for 2:25 A.M. to see if I could catch what kept keeping me awake, alarms aren’t the easiest thing to wake me up so we’ll see how this goes.
It was around 10:30 P.M, on the fourth night, when I set my alarm for 2:30 A.M to see if I could figure out what was freaking me out every night for too many nights. I screamed, “Night Mom, Love you,” back to her room before I shut my door to go to sleep.
I procrastinated, like always, because I was a little anxious to see what I was going to find if I woke up to my alarm when it was time. I sat on Facebook for probably an hour, watched the best show ever called The Defenders, and got a big glass of milk. With all this I most likely went to bed around midnight which is pretty normal for me. I woke up not to a loud, annoying beeping of an alarm but to my mom saying, “Lindsey, it’s time to get up for school!”
I responded half dead, “What time is it?”
“It’s 6:45 A.M, get up!” She shouted back.
I responded half dead, “What time is it?”
“It’s 6:45 A.M, get up!” She shouted back.
I was very confused that I didn’t wake up a) to my alarm at 2:25 A.M and b) at 2:30 A.M from the randomness that’s been waking me up for the past couple days. I didn’t think much of it because I figured hey, maybe the stupid sound interrupting my precious sleeping stopped, YIPPY!
By the time I got to school the entire thing had slipped my mind because I’m not one to worry. Then Tracy just had to bring it up saying, “Lindsey, did you figure out what’s messing with you at night?”
In annoyance I said, “Tracy shut up! You would bring that up just for the simple fact I just forgot about it.”
We talked about my night before while sitting in Ms. Bridges English 11 class because we never do much of anything in there. She then brings up, “Oh, have you seen the commercials for the new Paranormal Activity, the third one?”
I replied, “Really, you would scare me with that wouldn’t you?”
She laughed and said, “Well in the previews it shows this family where it’s just a mother and a daughter, like you and your mom, the ghost is messing with only the daughter at first. Has your mom said anything to you about anything weird?”
I replied astonished, “Umm are you kidding me? But no she hasn’t said anything so I doubt she really has. Dude, do you think we are really being haunted?”
Tracy started laughing hysterically and said, “There isn’t even a Paranormal Activity 3 out yet stupid but I have to admit I got you good. Hahaha!”
I didn’t think it was all that funny because obviously now stuck in the back of my head is that I’m going to be the next victim from those movies. I don’t want watch movies or shows like Paranormal Activity or Ghost Hunters because let’s face it, that stuff scares me just a little bit too much. I have seen the commercials for both the Paranormal Activity movies’ previews and it never looked like it ended up in a very pleasant way.

I have seen the commercials for both the Paranormal Activity movies’ previews and it never looked like it ended up in a very pleasant way.
After school that day I didn’t go home at all because I didn’t want to be home by myself. I went tanning and then went and hung out with a few friends because that’s just what I do when I don’t have to work. They all thought I was crazy because “those movies are so fake,” and “those movies aren’t even scary anyways!”
Well all I know is they might not be scared when they are watching things like that but what if it was happening to you? I’m pretty sure you would be shaking in your moccasins just a little bit.
I went home a little after 7 P.M when my mom called and told me she was on her way home from Curves. Let’s face it, I’m not one of those people who thinks my house is haunted or do I believe in evil ghosts but man was this freaky, or well I thought. My mom and I ate dinner, watched Burnt Notice and a couple other shows while sitting around lazily on the cough for a little while. I know I know, we have a very exciting life. Do you think I should put up video cameras? See I thought this too because that’s what they did in Paranormal Activity but I think whatever it is knew I set my alarm clock and was waiting to see it, and that’s exactly why nothing mysteriously woke me up in the middle of the night.
It was about that time to go to bed because stressing about being haunted takes a lot of energy, let me tell you! It was tough for a couple minutes to get myself to sleep but since I was so exhausted it didn’t take but 10 minutes to be peacefully sleeping. Once again, terrifyingly I suddenly woke up at 2:30 A.M exactly… Ironic right? I didn’t set my alarm and this time I wake up again. This time will be different than last because my door will not be the key guard on my cell phone because this time I’m walking out of my room to see what might be happening.
Little did I know I would find my mom up and wide awake in the kitchen feeding this odd man milk and cookies.
It makes sense that I didn’t get woken up by weird noises, on the fourth night, since I told my mom I was going to set my alarm at 2:25 A.M because I thought something was suspicious. I got closer and said, “Mom, what are you really doing at 2:30 in the morning with some random dude?”
She replied, “Lindsey honey, this guy isn’t random,” as he turns around so I could see his face…
She replied, “Lindsey honey, this guy isn’t random,” as he turns around so I could see his face…
It’s Santa Clause!
“I caught you flirting with Santa Clause? Mom what are you thinking? What about dad?” Not really giving her time to respond because I’m a really fast thinker I chuckled and continued, “Oh yeah, that’s right you and dad are divorced. I’m going back to bed, night!”
I decided my mom having a little thing with Santa Clause wasn’t that bad because I wasn’t being haunted, which lifted a huge weight of my shoulders. And hey, Christmas is right around the corner so might as well let my mom help me out a little this holiday season!

Ohio State Fans!
I thought this title would be appropriate for the week because of the Ohio state vs. Michigan game coming up and everything, and with me being a Michigan fan and everything I thought most of you would enjoy this.
The only thing i hate about OSU fans is they talk so much trash about Michigan and their fans for no reason at all. I understand the rivalry and everything, and i can't deny i do as well talk trash sometimes but OSU fans take it to the next level. Sometimes they take it too far. I understand you guys have beat Michigan State, Indiana, and Iowa.... and i know Michigan didn't, you don't have to tell me. I do know what goes on in the football world. You always act like Michigan is so horrible when look at reality. Michigan lost to Iowa by 7 more points than you did, do you really think it's that big of a difference?
I do give Ohio State their props for the season, for sure though. I'm not saying I don't because Ohio State has had a very good season minus the Wisconsin game and I respect them for that. Why is that I respect your guys' record but you guys act like Michigan is 1-10 for the season and if you didn't know, they aren't.
All I think is Ohio State is going to think they are going into the game with a definite win and I honestly don't think that is the case. If you look at the differences of the scores, from the same teams OSU and UofM have played, they aren't really that much different. Michigan i admit doesn't have the best defensive team this year but they are not one of those teams you're going to beat without a fight.
I guess time will tell and Saturday we will know where this rivalry is going this year because Michigan is going to win. And if they don't pull it off this year, which there is no questions about because they will, we will for sure get you next year so you know:) Good day!

USMC.
The only reason my title is USMC is because that's what the shirt i'm wearing says. No i'm not joining the military or any of that good stuff because honestly I'm probably too much of a baby for any of that. I know I could get through all that training and stuff but when I would actually have to be in war or anything like that I think i would panic and go A-wall.
I've decided I don't like this whole 'indian summer' thing because even though it is nice outside, it's not helping me getting sick at all. I've had strep, the flu, and was getting the first stage to pneumonia all in like a month. Keep in mind i've never had the flu or anything close to pneumonia so it's been pretty overwhelming. I just need the weather to get cold and stay cold so my body is confusing itself. My mom is also going to buy me gummie vitamins so i can build up my immune system, and since I don't drink orange juice that much she's going to get me Vitamin C pills too. I'm pretty excited I'm not going to lie.
It's really hard to drag myself to school each morning, on top of being sick. I'm graduating half-year which makes it even harder because right now it's like you being in 4th quarter dreading coming to school. I have only 32 days, which is 768 hours which is equivilant to 46080 minutes. If you think about it that's not that much time at all. This actually makes it harder to come to school, not easier so don't let it fool you. When you are in the 4th quarter and just can't wait for summer, let me know how easy it is for you to come to school. You might think it's gonna be pretty easy but who are you kidding? Not me because I'm going through it right now.... hardest thing ever!!!
Well, that's all.

Carmex: Moisturizing Lip Balm
I'm a little late on my blog this week, for some reason if i don't get it done before the weekend it just doesn't get done on time. That's usually why i try to get them done by thursday because then it is already in the clear. Hince, the reason i still think these blogs should be due on monday.
You are probably wondering why my title is about Carmex. For all of you who don't know what carmex is it's pretty much the best lip balm ever made. It works wonders or as they say, "It Soothes. It Heals. It Protects." If you use any other kind of lip balm you are just really missing out on real chap stick because carmex is the only one that works this good. You could wake up with lips dryer than a desssert and by the end of the day they will look and feel like the ocean, just not blue. The only other chap stick I think might be even close to carmex is that aquafina chapstick. Has anyone tried it? If so, does it work wonders also? I just thought I should let everyone know my opinion of the best lip balm because it is getting colder and I've had to use chap stick more often so thought i'd share my ways with you!
Classes are so short today and it makes me actually not hate my monday. I think we should have shortened mondays every monday because mondays wouldn't be so bad. There are so many schools I've heard of that have early release or late arrival once a week, I don't understand why we don't do the same. That would probably make the entire week start of better if you ask me. Have you ever realized that if the first day of your week starts off bad the rest of the week is probably just going to follow that same routine? Well, if we had short days on mondays the entire week would run more smoothly. Maybe not but it's a thought.
I'm very excited for this weekend coming up because I'm going to Akron on friday. I haven't been out of Columbus in a while and it's time for a change. I get so sick of all the same people all the time, change for a night should be great. Especially because it is just going to be too much fun... a little mini road trip and the night out of columbus, what more can i ask for?
I don't like that the time changed saturday night because now it gets dark out at 6 p.m. It makes me want to go to bed because it's so dark by 7 but I usually work until 10 or 11 anyways so that's never going to work out. Sometimes I just think we should not spring forward or fall back ever. Is it really going to be that much of a difference? I don't really think it would but what do i know.
Ms. Bridges english class is watching the Crucible Movie and i loved this movie last year so i'm going to watch the movie too because it's just a lot more interesting then me telling you about my life.

That would probably make the entire week start of better if you ask me. Have you ever realized that if the first day of your week starts off bad the rest of the week is probably just going to follow that same routine? Well, if we had short days on mondays the entire week would run more smoothly. Maybe not but it's a thought.
I'm very excited for this weekend coming up because I'm going to Akron on friday. I haven't been out of Columbus in a while and it's time for a change. I get so sick of all the same people all the time, change for a night should be great. Especially because it is just going to be too much fun... a little mini road trip and the night out of columbus, what more can i ask for?
I don't like that the time changed saturday night because now it gets dark out at 6 p.m. It makes me want to go to bed because it's so dark by 7 but I usually work until 10 or 11 anyways so that's never going to work out. Sometimes I just think we should not spring forward or fall back ever. Is it really going to be that much of a difference? I don't really think it would but what do i know.
Ms. Bridges english class is watching the Crucible Movie and i loved this movie last year so i'm going to watch the movie too because it's just a lot more interesting then me telling you about my life.

Terrific Tuesday... I Mean Tracy.
Today is tuesday and there is a high wind warning until 8:00 p.m so beware that you hair will be flying everywhere... it might be a little tangly by the end of the day. Tuesdays are never that amazing because there is never anything good about tuesdays. Right now i'm just tired, hungry, and bored listening to this english class read the crucible. I read it last year so it is far from interesting. The only good thing that is going to happen today is that i FINALLY get to see my senior pictures, yes i know i took them like a month ago... about time right?
You are probably wondering why my title of my blog is just so confusing, well i am going to explain that to you right now so don't sweat. Tracy is always complaining that when she writes her blogs no one ever comments on them because only like 4 people are following her. You guys have to get on this WONDERFUL blog at least twice a week so you might as well take the time to follow her. It's not that difficult. I know it would be easier if we went to the library, like we did to set up our blog, just to follow Tracy. Unfortunately, we are not that lucky. So as Tracy writes her amazing blogs you are missing out, do you really want to miss out? I didn't think so, when you finish reading my blog you shall go to Mr. Potter's blog and find where we all posted our URL and follow her. Very much appreciated.
This weekend I am going to toledo for my first college visit to the University of Toledo. This will be pretty interesting because i'm going with my mom. My mom isn't the best driver in the world which is why my dad taught me how to drive. That sounds horrible because when i was younger she would drive me everywhere, i should of second guessed that. Now that i drive my own car and put my life in my own hands, I don't want to let anyone else have that oppurtunity. My padre is the only exception because he taught me how to drive so I trust him, but my mom no. I will probably end up driving all the way to toledo myself, I will keep you posted forsure.
... Oh, the only good thing about tuesdays is that Teen Mom is usually on, but that's over now so tuesdays are not good, at all. I do have two shows to look forward to still. 'Bad Girls Club' and 'Melissa and Joey'. The first one is just a bunch of stupid drama that happens when you put a bunch of party girls in one house together... it's on oxygen if you want to watch it!
DONT FORGET TO FOLLOW TRACY --
have a good day now :)

Never Cry, Always Smile.
Everyone knows the famous author of little kid books, Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss was not just an author for children but someone who knew how to live life with the right state of mind. People are always worried about what’s going wrong and how to make it better. People become devastated over the littlest situations but we can’t do that. We have to be positive with every curve that’s thrown at us, or we won’t ever overcome it. “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened,” were the famous words of Dr. Seuss and that's what I believe.
Isn’t it ironic that people cry when they are happy, excited, or overwhelmed with joy? That makes no sense, if I’m happy about something I’m going to want to scream it to the world, not cry. Don’t get me wrong I have cried from joy but it doesn’t make any sense. We cry at moments that are huge milestones in our lives: graduation, marriage, having a kid, and so on. When people are happy I picture smiles, not tears.
Everything happens for a reason! Sometimes you can’t explain why something is happening but it is happening for a reason. If you get laid off from your just, it happened for a reason. You may never figure out what that reason is because you are so worried about what you are going to do but that’s life. Life takes its turns and spins and we can’t do anything about it, no matter how crazy that sounds. Look back on the experience you were lucky enough to endure and stop crying over something you have no control of.
You know something I never understood? How someone can hurt you so much but yet you will forgive them a day later. Suddenly, when things change, you cry because they’re gone but why? Because of all the things they did to hurt you? Stop crying because they are gone and be happy that they were ever a part of your life to begin with. Yes I know, easier said than done. I’ve been there, done that with friends and boyfriends. Yet it never fails I look back and think, “Wow, what was I thinking?”
At this point, I know I sound like some heartless person but the things I’ve been through in life have made me realize that crying never makes anything better. This is going to sound really stupid but when I had to move to Gahanna, in 8th grade, I was devastated. I cried even before we moved just because I didn’t want to leave what I knew of home, thought maybe it would better off my chances of my mom not moving. Well since I’m here, we all know that didn’t work out very well. I also look back and realize moving to Gahanna was what was best. I shouldn’t have been crying because I was leaving where I was comfortable, I should have been smiling because I had the chance to try something new.
Every person, experience, loss, or gain that happens in life came or went to better off you! Life is all about seeing how much you can take, and to see how strong you really are. It’s not going to be some walk in the park so enjoy what you have while you have it. When it’s gone, remember how great it was. Stop complaining about every little thing that goes wrong, like traffic or a bad hair day, and just sit back and enjoy it.
Who knew you could get this much from a 9 word quote written by a guy who writes about green eggs and ham. Well I did so take a second, look back and remember a time when you whined and complained over something pretty worthless. Now moving forward just go with the flow and always remember, “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” You’ll be surprised what the quote will do for you. You’ll be as surprised, as you would be confused when wondering why you’d even want to eat green eggs and ham "in a boat, with a goat". I guess it’s just one of those things. Don’t question it just go with it. People do say you learn everything you need to know about life by kindergarten, well weren’t we reading Dr. Seuss right around then?

'Boo You .....'
I think almost everyone knows exactly where my title is coming from. Pretty random but i turned on the tv, and Mean Girls was on so i thought i might as well watch the rest of it. I don't think high school is anything like this movie but i mean hey, what movie is like real life anymore? Mean Girls is one of those movies where it's such a stupid movie but anytime it's on I'm probably going to watch it over anything else that's on.... keep in mind i've probably already seen this movie about 44564852 times.
This long weekend was well needed for me! Got a lot of well needed sleep, had time to just relax, and had no homework to worry about... and then sunday came and YAY blogger.com time. I was pretty excited to write my blog tonight because everyone knows how much we have to tell the world about our amazing lives. I don't know about you but my life pretty much consists of a lot of nothing sometimes so i don't really have much to tell you about. Mr. Potter just likes torturing us and we all know that.
Cookie Dough is pretty much the most amazing thing in the world. I don't ever buy cookie dough to actually make the cookies I just like eating it not cooked. Tollhouse Mini Chocolate Chip is definately the best so if you like cookie dough, get this kind. Oh, and if you don't like cookie dough, try it, and you will fall in love :) I remember when everyone used to say how bad it was for you because of the eggs and blah blah blah but I've been doing this for years. Just want everyone to know I've never got sick from eating it.... not even once. So all of those who tell you how bad it is, just let it go in one ear and out the other.
Well it's getting late and now that the ONLY homework I actually had over the long weekend is done, i'm going to go to bed! I wouldn't want to be too tired in first period tomorrow because we are always so hyped up in there and everything... It takes a lot for Mr. Potter to actually get us to quiet down in that class.
Weekly Question: Do you think smartwater is the best water ever?

Chips Ahoy!
For all of those people out there who don't know what Chips Ahoy are they are the best chocolate chip cookie in the world! They come in a blue package that has the "New" resealable packaging. It still says new on it even though in reality they have been in packaging like this for over a year, I think that it's time for a new marketing tactic to get people to buy their cookies. Chips Mate are also a close second to Chips Ahoy, the packaging looks quite similar, with it both being in blue, so try them both! Update me on which one you think is better Ahoy or Mate?
See what i'm talking about? They even have pictures that still say "New! Resealable packaging," definitely not that new anymore if they have pictures of the packaging, you know?
So I'm going to totally change the subject and talk about Mr. Potter for a second. In my last blog i asked Mr. Potter what he thought about last week's episode of Teen Mom and yes, indeed I believe he watched it. He claims MTV wasted their time on that show but yet he knew every one of the girls names and exactly how to spell it! If you don't believe it look at the comment on my last blog. It's pretty funny to me, who agrees?
I know it is monday so we all feel like life is horrible at this point but don't worry this week should fly by. Weather isn't too great right now but it's supposed to pick up by thursday, and for all of you who are going to homecoming it's supposed to be sunny and high 60's.. the perfect weather. Also next week we have 3 days of school and one of the days is late arrival. Talk about easiest week ever! Knowing next week is going to be that short is going to be what gets me through this week.
Well my room has started getting a little messy, well really messy, the past couple days so i think i'm going to go do that. I also have this paper due for this personal finance book 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' that i have yet to start. I feel bad for anyone else in that class because i know it's going to be horrible! So tootles :)

The Day Before...
The day before friday is always a drag. First i woke up late and was ashamed that i couldn't make it to my favorite class of the day. I then had a test to take 2nd period but once i finished i decided that i aced it because I think i did amazingly. Now i'm just sitting in 3rd period which is study hall with Ms. Bridges, her class, and the INTERESTING Tracy. It gets pretty boring in here and I just wanted you all to know that's how i felt about it.
Later today will probably get better as long as the weather clears up, we're not busy at work, and once again if Snooki beats Angelina. There has only been one good weather day but for the rest of the week it's just been blah. It's been one of those weeks where you just don't even want to get out of bed in the morning because you know it's going to look gross outside. You know what I mean?
Does anyone watch that new show on ABC family "Melissa and Joey" because I must say i absolutely love it so far because it is just hillarious. I have yet to watch the Teen Mom for this week, has anyone watched it yet? Mr. Potter how did you feel about the episode on tuesday?
The one good thing about the day before friday is just that, it's the day before friday! You only have to make it through today and then you have made it to the weekend! This weekend should be a very good one. I am getting my senior pictures done tomorrow, only have to work 12-3, and then get to watch Michigan murder Indiana.
I think that was enough for this wonderful blog.... I hope you enjoyed it, really i do.

This Writing Lab....
First of all i'd like to tell everyone that this weather lately isn't helping me get up in the morning. It's cold, humid, and gross outside what is my motivation to get out bed in the morning? First period isn't that exciting because it's Mr. Potter's horrible, boring english class! He likes to make us smell disgusting condiments and doesn't take my opinion in the class votes anymore.. that is extremely rude of him.
Today is tuesday but it feels like a thursday. I really wish it was thursday because Jersey shore comes on this thursday, and Snooki is going to just murder Angelina. At least I hope she does because I really don't like Angelina and I think she should just leave the show because no one ever liked her. Tonight i'm SO excited to go to work and do nothing; Afterwards, I will be going home to watch bad girls club and teen mom.
I would now like to discuss this writing lab that is in A building, Room 161. I don't think you should actually call it a room because it is a very confined space. There is 6 computers and about 8 chairs but i think that if that many people were in here it would be very crowded; the school really cares about people's comfort and how well their writing is. Come on now, the math lab is even bigger than this room.
This will soon be the end of my blog because I don't feel very comfortable sharing my entire life story with you right now. If you would like to know more tune it for more on thursday... it will be a very juicy update!

Woooohooo Blue
Well here goes my first blog for this amazing senior comp class. I thought everyone should know that michigan is doing amazing so far this year! It is only the beginning of the season but it's better to start off doing fantastic than not at all so that's pretty exciting. The only thing that upset me was against Notre Dame when they had a 14 point lead and gave it away, almost lost the game too. The only thing that counts is that they won and that i'm very glad because all the Ohio State fans just get so upset when they say Michigan sucks so bad but yet are probably just going to beat OSU this year. I'm very excited to see what happens in November :) Well I don't really have anything else to say about this so stay tuned until next week!
