So my computer's been on the fritz, aol-wise, the past few days...It finally started working, so a week later I get to update...For those who haven't heard my news, Mon, Wed, and Fri of first semester I don't have class until noon...Oh yes, it's nice...lol...But I need to get ready to go--I'm going to the softball game tonight, but first-----I GET TO GO BUY A TRUMPET!!!...lol...And I saw Mr. Gore today at UU, too...I had to go pay my $125 deposit for the room and turn in medical information to the nurse...But I'll talk to you all later...Love ya, and God bless.

Not really much to say today...Woke up at 11, took a shower, babysat, and sat around here all day...I'm getting ready to go to the church's softball game now...So much fun...But I now have a myspace (mainly so I can keep in touch with those who used to have xangas and got rid of them *cough, cough, Brad*)...same username as on xanga...So yeah, if any of you have a myspace, add me to buddies there, too...I think I might switch on and off on which one I update...Or I'll copy and paste to where it's the same in both...Undecided as of now...lol...But I better get going...I'll talk to you all later...Love ya, and God bless.

Hmmm, haven't updated since Thursday, so I'll go through each day and try and keep it short for those of you who keep complaining that my posts are too long to read.....

Friday, of course, no school (yay seniors)...Hoke picked me up at noon to go to his grandma's, but first we had to pick up Sarah and Laura and go to the store for supplies for the party...It was the four of us for the longest time, then Hess and Amy Snavely showed up, followed by (though probably not in this order) Travis, Trux, Mike, Amy, both Amanda Collins, Herbie, Ashley, and Nick (I don't think I'm missing anyone)...Stayed there until about 9:40 or so, then went to the Outlet and met up with Chad...Got hit in the head with a basketball (side of my head still hurts from that one--thanks, Chad)...Got home about---2?...Maybe?...I don't really remember...It was late, to say the least.

Saturday, last parade in high school ...And there was a dead cat in the middle of the road that the middle people in each row stepped on (from what I heard)...Then Amanda, Ashley, and I went to Chad's to go swimming, ordered pizza, and then Joe and Dan stopped by...Then at 4 Chad and I went to my aunt's for a cookout, left at about 5-ish (he had to go to work and I needed to start on laundry...Ended up watching a movie (Bad News Bears, which I'd seen before, but an amusing movie nonetheless)...Got home at about 1:30, asleep by 3.

Sunday Chad picked me up at 8 to go to visit with his family at Shawnee State Park...It took 3 hours to get there, and Chad stopped to get directions 3 times, though he claims it was only twice...That was an amusing day...I was a bit spacey due to meds, but oh well...I love his family...lol...We left at 11, got home at 2, and sat in the truck until 3:30-ish.

Today I went with Chad to Amanda's grandparents' for a cookout, and I felt so bad because the food was really good, but I have like no appetite due to a mixture of medication and heat...Came home at 4:15, sat in front of the fan in my room, and took a nap from 7-9 when Mom woke me up and told me to babysit the twins...Ended up taking them for a walk because it was a lot cooler outside than it was in here...Came home and Chad was out front talking to my brother...So he was here until about 10:30, and now I'm getting ready to make dinner for myself (everyone else had Lee's).

Yeah, that wasn't really all that short, and I'm sorry...But I'd better get going...I'll talk to you all later...Love you, and God bless.

P.S. If you didn't get an invitation Friday (blame it on Chad), the party is June 3 (Saturday) at 1228 Klose Ave (in Park Layne, off of Styer), from 2 until whenever everyone leaves...Hope to see you there

Well, school's over and done with...Still not sure whether to cry or throw a party...lol...Yesterday was interesting, to say the least...I went to french class first period with Chad because I had let Philip borrow my calculator for his math class and needed it by 3rd period...Then 2nd period I bombed my music theory exam (77/122, not good)...The stupid music history is what got me big time...3rd period was the calculus exam, which I think I did ok on...Then I had my spanish exam (96/100)...Physics was after that, which was supposedly going to take 2 periods--I had it done in one...I ended up skipping lunch, but oh well...Then 6th period I sat with Chad in guidance...Then of course was band, and I was the only senior in there...It was amusing...Then I went home, washed bottles, ate, and took a nap...Then 6:10 or so I woke up and Chad picked me up at 6:30 to go to church...After the service we stayed around talking to the McGraners, and then went to Allan's house because Megan left her cell phone at the church...Left there at about 10:30, then sat in my driveway for a bit--Chad left at about 11...Came inside and went to my room and watched tv until about 12:30.

Then I woke up this morning at about 10:30...It was nice...I found out that Sarah and Philip went at it yesterday while I was gone...And, of course, father stuck up for Philip (I swear, if he doesn't know what's going on he should just stay out of it)...But yeah, I'm currently waiting for the tub to drain (from last night) so that I can get a shower...I don't know what's wrong with the stupid drain, but it's driving me nuts...They need to get it fixed, because no shower with 11 people is not a good thing...But I'd better get going...I'll talk to you all later...Love ya, and God bless.
