yeah

I really don't have much to say. I'm supposed to be practicing French horn right now. Oh well. I have a new layout! It looks really different. Maybe I'll change it again later. I will watch American Idol now. Bye.

Today was an AMAZING day! I loved it. I woke up yeah and stuff. I went to school. Band was really fun. We had Mrs. Jorgensen as a sub and we just hung out and talked and MASHed people. Then we got really confoozled. First she told us that 2nd, 3rd, and 6th were on the bus together. Then she told us that 2nd, 3rd, and 4th were on a bus together. When we got back outside we were told something else. I know that 2nd and 3rd were together and 4th wasn't on our bus, but I don't know what other hour was on our bus. Oh well. It doesn't really matter. All that matters is that it's clear that the whole which bus to go on thing was confoozling. Anyway, we went on the bus and I ended up sitting in a seat with Nate L. and Kyle N.. They're great people I guess, but I really didn't want to be crammed next to them in a bus. I passed notes to Michaela, Preeti and Sarah. Michaela wrote notes back. Her hand writing was hard to read because we were on a bus, but I did it! Okay. So we got to the movies and got popcorn and pop. I sat next to Liz and Clare. I think that's how you spell her name. We saw Everest. It was about this group of people who climbed mount everest. People died. It was very hard. The avalanche was very loud. One guy climbed to the top without an oxygen tank! It felt like I was really there. It was very interesting. I spilled a lot of my popcorn on the floor but I saved the rest of it from falling. Even with the help of the spill, I didn't finish my popcorn. When the movie was over, I rode with Liz and Elena. We were all wearing our track sweat shirts and jeans. When we got to the mall, I didn't know what restaurant I wanted to go to. I started at Charley's and then went to A&W. They didn't have what Summer and I wanted, so we went to sbarro's to get pizza. We talked to the lady behind us in line. Yeah. We told her allllllllllll about our school. She said that we were lucky that there are no bullies at our school and everyone pretty much gets along. Meaning no fights in the hallways and stuff. We're not perfect. By the time we got to the front of the line, we found out that there was no more cheese or pepperoni pizza! The lady working there said it would be about 10 minutes. I decided that was too long and we would have to wait in more of a line once we got our food to pay so I decided to go to Cajun Cafe next door (or whatever) since there was nooooooo line. I got Bourbon chicken and fried rice because Erin told me to get it. She and Gabrielle got it too. So we ate our food and left. Vivian ate a lot of fries. On the ride back to school, I sat with Natalie and Jamie. We were sad when we got back to school. It was almost fifth hour. We played outside until it was time to go to fifth hour. In fifth hour, we switched seats and then played a game. One team sits on one side of the table and the other team sits on the other side. You have to hold hands with the people next to you. The person at the head of the table would hold a stuffed peep. GOOOOOOO peeps! sorry. ANyway, Ms. Wild would throw a coin in the air (I was careful not to say throw up) and she would show the people at her end of the table. If it was head side up, the people would squeeze the person's hand next to them and the squeeze would go down until the people at the other end of the table got it. When they did, they would try and grab the peep before the person sitting across from them. They won if they got it first. If people spread the squeeze and it was tails, the other team would win. If you won you would move down a seat. The game was over when one of the original people was at the end of the table. That team would win. After our team won, Summer showed me a card trick with some UNO cards. I was frustrated when I couldn't figure out how she did it. Then Summer, Jamie, Geethika and I played UNO. Gym was easy. We only had to run to the second back-stop and back. Then we went inside and practiced serving on the deck. I don't know why we did it on the deck, but okay. In Social Studies we played games. Yay games! Mrs. DeKatch got to pick them, but oh well. They were still fun. First we played charades. Some of them were very hard to do like eagle, traffic light, merry go round, Great Wall of China, rocking chair and nap. Some people had a hard time. But our team won. For the merry go round one, the other team got it in like two seconds! It was truly amazing.Then we went back to Mrs. DeKatch's room and played pass the pen. She gives us a topic and then we have a little bit of time to write down examples of it. You take turns. For colors, you can write gold, purple, orange and yeah, you get it. My group was Morgan, Neha and Kelly. We won candy! I got a smarties sucker. In track we only had to run 1800 meters lightly. I guess my light is faster than other people's lights because I lapped a lot of people. I should have went slower. I was the third girl done. If I went slower I would be less sore. But it really did feel light to me. I didn't feel fast at all. I was so so so happy that track was easy today and we went home after that. It was so easy. I had so much energy that I ran most of the way back to Kinawa. Bad idea. I got changed and walked home. Ernie really wanted to go out so I took him for a long walk. Then I got home and went to my grandparents' house to celebrate my dad's birthday. We had carrots, cottage cheese, potatoes, and meat. For dessert, we had my dad's favorite lemon meringue pie. After dessert, I hurried over to soccer practice on my bike. I was just in time to see Summer biking down my street after an unsuccessful trip to my house and biked the rest of the way with her. Soccer practice was pretty normal except my legs were really sore from running so much in the past two days. When we were scrimmaging, I accidently screamed, "Go yellow, go go go! Wait. What am I saying?!?" I wasn't on the yellow team! Michaela kept on yelling at me to run this way and that but I couldn't go as fast as she wanted me to. Oh well. It's not her fault she couldn't feel the extreme pain in my legs. If she could, she probably wouldn't be yelling at me. I don't even know why they're sore. I didn't run that much in the past two days. I've done more before. Maybe because I didn't go to practice on Thursday because I didn't have my gym shoes, I didn't have practice on Friday, I only had a soccer game on Saturday and I didn't do any running on Sunday so my muscles all died. Then when I did track again, I wasn't used to it, so my muscles had to get bigger. So them I went home and did stuff on the computer and practiced. I guess I will have to take a shower tomorrow since there is no time today. If you actually made it all the way down here, wow. If you just skipped all the way to the bottom without reading anything above, I don't blame you. This post was really long today. I'll try to make them shorter but it's so fun to write about every detail!

oops.

I forgot to finish my blog entry yesterday. So yesterday I went to track and it was very tiring. We ran to Chippewa like we always do. Then we went to the track, something us distance/middle distance runners never do. Usually we run on the tennis courts. Anyway, we had to run 400 meters then rested, 400 meters then rested, 800 meters then rested, 800 meters then rested, 400 meters then rested, and 400 meters again. This all had to be as fast as we could go. Not sprinting, because then you would die, but very fast jogging. In case you don't know, that's two miles. We were timed and when we did the 400 ones, we tried to make the second one within five seconds of the first one both times. When we were resting (us 800 meter runners) the 400 runners would go and then the mile/two mile runners. okay so when track was over, I went home and did stuff. Like eat dinner. Then my family and I went a very long walk. We walked in the woods between the two middle schools. We came out near the track. I showed my sisterhow to do the long jump. She wasn't very good, but she's only five. I have plenty of time to teach her before she's in middle school. Then the two of us ran 400 meters (one lap). She's a pretty fast runner for such a little kid. She didn't even have to stop. Okay so then we went back home and did stuff. Like practicing. And reading New Moon (awesome!). I know this is really random but I have got to read the 4th Maximum Ride book! I neeeeeeeeeed to! The End.

-Melissa

blah, blah, blah. That's what I will call this post I guess.

Well. I guess I'm going to be blahing for this email. For those of you who don't understand, blahing just meaning talking about random stuffs. In art I did the potter's wheel for the very first time! Yay! It was very, very, hard but I made something that doesn't look completely horrible for my first try. In Language Arts I did some research. My topic is Chinese inventions. During lunch, I had Déjà vu. There was a bird in the lunch room just like about a year ago! Someone (I think it was Paul) picked it up and threw it into the lunchroom air. It landed a few yards away. Summer was pulling on Andrew's shirt because he wanted to hit the bird with his binder. Summer is a big-time animal lover. It was kind of funny to see her pulling on his shirt. I felt bad for the bird. When I went to go look at it, it was so cute. It was brown and grey I think and it was just staring out the window, probably paralyzed with fear. Then a janitor guy came in and picked up the bird with a towel. He probably took the bird outside. In math I got lucky. The person who used the same graphing calculator as me in 3rd hour didn't clear the memory. I didn't have to enter any of the data (74 numbers!) and I didn't have to make the scatter plot. Thank you 3rd hour person with calculator 411! I want to know who that is! In fifth hour we just worked on our mammoth thingy. In sixth hour we went outside and played tennis. It was really cold. Actually we didn't really play tennis. We just practiced forehands and backhands. While we were waiting in line. I got to hear about Bridget's date with this 15 year old named Seth. Joy. They went to see Prom Night. Seth drove her there because he can drive. She was so happy. She said that Prom Night wasn't actually very scary. Maybe I'll watch it. In seventh hour we did research. Sean, Bobbie and Morgan were making this really annoying noises and Mrs. DeKatch asked them to stop and if she heard them doing it again, she would sign their stats sheets. They said they were making up a song. Speaking of stats sheets, once I had a dream that I was singing Sensual Seduction in Science and I got my stats sheet signed because of it. Then in Social Studies, I bragged about it. Very strange. Speaking of dreams, I had a dream last night that I was walking to Hiawatha with a big group of people in seventh grade. Maybe we weren't seventh grade in the dream though since we were walking to Hiawatha. Anway, suddenly, Summer rode by on her bike. I shouted, "Kourtney! Kourtney!" and I wondered why she didn't answer. When the dream was over, I realized that I shouldn't shout Kourtney if I want Summer. I don't even know why I was calling her Kourtney! I have one more dream. Just one more! Then I'll be done until I get another one. I got this dream on the day when the eighth grade band and orchestra played for us during base. I was really surprised to see that this eighth grader in my gym hour was in orchestra. This was before he got his haircut and before I even knew that his name was Zach Bellaire. In the dream I was talking to him and I said, "I can't believe you're in orchestra!" he said, "I can't believe that you, my friend are in band!". I don't know how he knew that, but hey, it was a dream. I said, "Umm, you're not my friend." Zach said, "But we could be friends. Do you want to be?" I said,"sure, why not?". So i guess we became friends. weird huh?

Hiawatha Happening

Today I went to the Hiawatha happening with Summer and her sister. We rode our bikes. It was a lot of fun, but it didn't seem as much fun as it usually is. A lot of people from Kinawa were there. Even if they didn't go to Hiawatha. It was fun to say hi to people and if they weren't in our grade and didn't know us, they would say How do you know my name? It was fun. Especially when we were leaving and there were some high schoolers by the bike rack. Summer said, "I think that boy's name is Alex." and I said, "Alex?" and then he looked at me and said, "How do you know my name?" I didn't even know that that was the boy she was talking about! Summer explained that she knew him from karate or something. I played the cupcake walk game a million times but I never won! Summer won once and Maddie said she won like 6 times. It was fun to see my old teachers. My fifth grade teacher's son Saano had the same shirt as me! It was red and said Soccer Zone. Haha!

Just Some stuff

I didn't get to go to the Wardcliff play yesterday. Boo hoo. Today was National Silence Day. I started not talking at about 11 this morning because that's when I found out it. I guess I wasn't weirded out enough by Robbie's note that said: We need to move down. in band to ask him why he wrote it down instead of telling me. Anyway, National Silence Day is when we respect all the people who died in hate-crimes and didn't get a chance to tell anybody about it before they died by not talking. That's what I heard anyway. So I found out about it around 11 and then I started using a notepad to talk to people. When the sub in math called my name, I raised my hand instead of saying here. When Ms. Wild had us repeat the numbers out loud that she pointed at us with, i just held up four fingers instead of saying four. You get the picture. But in gym I didn't have my notepad (I couldn't run with it in the mile and anyway it would be weird to talk to a teacher on a notepad) so I had to tell Mrs. Marks my mile time outloud. It was my very best! I'm so proud of myself. At my school, for a lot of people, 7:42 is really bad, but for me, it was really good. A lot of other people got their best time also. For me it was either because of track or that new running form that the Playmakers people showed us. Grace was dehydrated so she had to walk twice, but she still got the same time as me. Oh well. Another time when I wasn't silent (I'm not sure if this counts) was when in gym, a volleyball almost hit my head and I screamed. In Social Studies, I told Mrs. DeKatch thank you because I couldn't just not say anything after she gave me a really good book for my China project. My subject is inventions. I hope it's really easy. I do not care at all if it's boring. I just want it to be easy. I don't know if it's boring yet. Probably not. And after school, a girl's dogs were barking at Ernie and she said sorry so I had to say, "That's okay". And then Summer called and so I just decided to give up on this no talking thing. We are going to the Hiawatha Happening. Yay! It was really annoying when someone would say thank you or something like that and I couldn't answer and when someone would ask me a question and I would be anwering it on my notepad and then they would ask me another question! Hello! Does it look like I can answer two questions at once? Maybe if they both had the answer yes, but that's not the case if the answers were something like, What was your mile time? and Why aren't you talking? at the same time. Those questions were asked to me by Summer on the walk home. Katie, Eddie, Eric, Sarah, Robert, Robbie and some other people did it. Sarah forgot and spoke. I think everyone except Katie and I just stopped. Anyway, moving on. Yesterday in Language Arts, Kai said something funny. He said that the day before that, in Foods, He and his group were making something and Kai was testing the stove with his hand. He touched the burner and it wasn't ready. He tried a couple more times and then he found out that it was ready. He burned his hand! Pooor Kai. It was kind of dumb of him to touch the burner to see if it was ready though. Don't tell him I said that.



-Melissa

P.S. Sarah: I don't think that Sean wasn't talking because every time I saw him except once he was talking.

:(

Today was a bad day. Since my days are usually great, it doesn't take much to make my day bad. Today I spilled the milk three times when I was pouring it into my cereal bowl. In science we watched this boring movie and had to answer questions. In gym, I forgot my gym shoes so I had to sit out and just watch everyone. That's also why I'm not in track right now. I guess today wasn't that bad of a day. It just was a little worse than usual. Really the only good things were that I got good cookies in lunch, didn't get any bad grades, got the answers right when Mrs. DeKatch called on me so I didn't have to stay after class, and I got to walk home with Summer. But someone did come running up and yelling, "Summer, Melissa wait!" so that kind of ruined it. Those good things are just tiny good things though. Actually I have another one. I have hardly any homework today. Yay!

Apples on a Stick

Apples on a stick. Makes me sick. Makes my heart beat two forty-six. Not because you're dirty, not because you're clean, just because you kissed a boy behind a magizine. Girls, girls, wanna have fun. Here comes Sarah with the blue jeans on. She can do the wibble-wobble, she can do the splits, betcha 5 bucks she can't do this. Close you eyes and count to ten, if you mess up you're a big fat hen.

Last year we did that all the time! I'm surprised I still remember the lyrics. I don't remember the hand-clapping motions though. I tryed it with grace a few days ago, but neither of us could remember how.

Ernie

This is my cute little doggie. His name is Ernie. Be warned that I will put up another picture of him it I find a better one. He looks kind of evil in this one and he usually doesn't look that way.

Me Talking About the Weather Again

I can't believe it snowed last night and this morning! It's the middle of April! I want to wear flip-flops and shorts and T-shirts and not FREEZE TO DEATH! Today I took my dog for a walk (it was snowing) and I was wearing a t-shirt, a sweatshirt, my down really warm winter coat, jeans, and tennis shoes and I was really cold. It was below freezing with the wind chill. Why does it have to be this way? Flowers bloomed, but they closed back up because it was so cold! When I get older, I swear, I'm going to move to a warmer state.

sea horse

Isn't that sea horse cute? I always forget about sea horses. But they're so cute! And small! And innocent!

weird dreams

Vivian was in my dreams three times last week. In the first dream, the seventh grade band and choir students had a performance together. We took a train to the place where we were performing and Vivian snuck on with us. She's not in band or choir. The train wasn't actually in my dream, but you just know that kind of stuff in dreams. Another thing that I just knew was that Tanner and I had snuck out of the place where everyone was performing and met Vivian in a street. Tanner had his binder and a weird hat. Vivian and I went into a store. There were these baby clothes and Vivian took a shirt that had brown and yellow stripes on it. There were three eighth notes on it that made the shape of an L. Vivian took the shirt and put it on her head. The sleeves turned into those braidy things that are on some hats except the braids were on the top instead of the bottom of the hat. It was now a shirt/hat. Anyway, Vivian put the shirt on her head, it became a shirt/hat, she did a little dance and the dream was over.

Another night, I had a dream that we were at camp. Our school brought all the seventh and eighth graders to this one camp that was like an indoor amusement park. We went on a train ride. I must have forgotten something or something because my mom came to camp, gave me something. and followed me around for the rest of the day. Vivian's mom was there too. My mom and Vivian's mom talked while I watched Vivian buy something from a little stand. I think it was a disposable camera. No one else's mom was there. Later (my mom wasn't there) I went on a ride that was kind of like the Kali River Rapids Ride (or whatever it's called) in Disney World. You get on a circular boat with some other people (I sat next to my friend Reychell and the rest were eighth graders) and you go down a river-like thing (except it was inside and really dark) and you bump off the walls and turn around and around. Before we knew it, there was a giant waterfall (way bigger than the one at Disney) and we were falling down it. Before that, we were all laughing but when we got to the waterfall we all screamed. The dream ened right before we fell.

Another night I had a dream that my dad and I rented a house near an amusement park. It was a big house. One morning, I couldn't find my dad so I walked down the dusty road to the amusement park. This one was inside too. I went on a ride where you go on it and see different stuff. It wasn't a thrill ride. It was very slow. I was the only one on it. When I got into one room, I saw Eddie peeking through a hole in the wall. Then my dad look in, saw me, and said, "Melissa! With your irrodescent hair, someone could take you! Put some sunscreen on!" and I said something like, "I'm fine dad." Eddie watched this. Then I went back to school and for some reason I was in advanced math. So was Vivian and Jessica and a bunch of eighth graders. Then the dream was over.

doo dee doo dee doo.

Why isn't it warm yet? It's driving me crazy! Well, actually it isn't since I spent the last few days in Florida, but I wish it was warmer. Yesterday it was pretty nice. After 7:30 which was when I got home. Florida was either burning up or pouring rain, so the weather wasn't the best, but we still had a blast in Disney World. You go there. It's fun. Unless you don't want to. Nevermind.
