The World According to Miss B

One down, Three to go....

Yep.  Only three weeks left of summer school. Not too shabby.  I'm actually semi-enjoying myself.  I just try to remember that it's better that sitting at home all day watching soapnet and wasting the day away. Because usually after summers like those, I feel a deep sense of regret that I didn't do anything more productive. 

Besides, in Mr. Ho's class (no really, that's his name), we've been watching House and wrapping each other in tape.  I think sports medicine was a fine choice.  And health isn't too bad either.  We have some pretty good discussions.  I'm just not feelin the homework :/   

Oh well.  It will all be over soon enough.  If only those annoying freshmen would stop being so.....annoying. 

Sorry :)

I know.  It's been a while since I have posted.  I've just been taking as much advantage as I can of summer. It's so nice not to have homework, or be forced to wake up early (though that will change on monday), or have to sit in a classroom for 7 hours (though that also will change on monday). 

"What's on monday?", you may ask?  Well I am so lucky that I get to start summer school.  I mean, I admit, it's better than sitting home all day longing to go out and do something with my time, because that's how I felt last summer after about a month of doing nada.  So it isn't that much of a bad thing. 

Another plus?  I'm taking the easiest classes you could ever imagine.  Sports medicine (i.e.:  watching the show House and walking around with the school's official sports trainer).  And health?  Well I have a teacher that I had first semester and his class was super easy.  So not a lot to worry about. Also, two of my closest friends I know for a fact are actually going to be in my health class, as well as some other friends that will be on campus for various other reasons.  

And I'm secretly excited about driving my self and being the second oldest in the school.  I will finally be dubbed an "upperclassman."  Sweetness.  

Before I sign off (considering it's 1: 30 am and I am still awake) here are a few things I did this week, as well as what's happening this weekend:

1. Cleaned out my room (anyone who has seen it must know how desperately it needed a good cleaning)

2. Cleaned out my bathroom (see above)

3. Saw Up (so adorable I'm asking mama B to get me a stuffed little old man like the one in the movie)

4. Finished my first article for the local teen newspaper I have recently joined (a book review on The Chosen One......be sure to check it out, an awesome read!)

5. Went to lunch with a friend that I used to volunteer with (though she was paid). Grandma came along.

6. Had the precious car taken from me two times in a week (I have decided our family's cars have a vendetta against me since they all want to break......leaving me carless)

7. Read two books in less than 24 hours, after driving to the library by myself.

8. Watched three movies with one of my closest school friends: Charlie Bartlett, Hard Candy, and Ten Things I Hate About You (soon to be an ABC Family show) In between we made some kick-butt personalized sugar cookies.

9. Updated my collection of magazine clippings, and put them into their according binders.

10. And for the weekend sadly I must dye part of my hair back to its natural state in order to look suitable for summer school (bleh).  Then hopefully I will get to spend some time with my friends tomorrow night by actually going out (something I rarely do, since I am so lazy)

That about raps it up, so I shall say nighty night :)

Get Off The Road!

Because I have a license.  That's right. I went on Friday to take my test, which was extremely nerve-racking.

I had to do a three point turn, parking, reversing, and I had to drive through a parking lot. Let me tell you, I thought I failed from the start.  Turns out we were parked in the wrong section.  Then, when I was driving through the parking lot with the guy in the car, he screamed at me to slow down while I was going through puddles.  Then when I parked I could have sworn that I hit one of the poles.  My three point turn was more like a five point turn.  And driving through the parking lot was no slice of pie either. 

Oh well. It's done and I have that thin little piece of plastic that grants me almost ultimate freedom (a little exaggerated, yes, but that's how I feel.) 

In other news, I now have a streak of bright pink going through my hair.  Sadly, mama B was not so pleased.  I actually felt like she didn't want to even look at me.  But I think she's grown to it. 

Of course, though, going to the mailbox when I got home resulted in a letter describing the regulations for summer school.  Last on the list?  NO MULTI-COLORED HAIR.  So that was just perfect.  I'm still angry.  My plan is to enjoy the pink for the week I have until S.S. starts and then dye MOST of it brown.  I'm definitely leaving a bit.  I can't completely let $25 go down the drain! 

Before I depart, I ask you to wish me luck on my first "alone" driving trip tomorrow...on my way to volunteering. 

Freedom at Last

So guess what? School is out.  That's right.  For three months, except for summmer school, I will be free from textbooks, notebooks, homework, everything relating to school.  I am so excited!  So what do I plan on doing this summer?  Here's a preview:

1.  Overhaul my room

2.  Take a sewing class

3.  Get my license (hopefully tomorrow)

4.  Chill with my best friends

5.  Take millions of pictures

6.  Read as many fun books as possible

7.  Getting school credits out of the way

8.  Work on my journalism "skills"

9.  And a million other things that I either can't think of at the moment or haven't thought of yet

So yes, tomorrow I am scheduled to get my driver's license (cringe).  I am so nervous right now I don't even know what to say.  AAAAAHH!!!!  Say a prayer for me :)  I am planning on making this summer uber-amazing and getting my license would be the cherry on top.  So I shall update tomorrow with the results.  Summer '09 here I come!!!!!
