The Writing Test . . .

 Alright, well since the only interesting thing that happened was the writing test, that is all I will talk about.

 At 8:10 today, the bell for homeroom rang. Then came an announcement;

Cchhtt "Teachers and students, please pardon the interuption. Teachers, it is now time for your students to transition to their 4'th period class. Eighth graders please go to your fourth period, seventh graders please go to your second period. Thank you."

 And that was our cue to go to fourth period. {Which just so happened to be science!} I grabbed my belongings and walked into science class. Sat down, and waited. In the begining of class, J {this kid who was talking a lot} got moved to sit next to me. He is right handed, whereas I am left. Which made the entire test extremely difficult.
 Anyway, my promt {this was not the real test, just a practice one} was about role models. I had to write an expository essay to a younger person explaining them. I had 90 minutes to do everything. When I started my brainstorming, I finished pretty quick. So quick, that on the back of the sheet, I began my rough draft! Realizing that we, in fact, could start our rough draft {by now I was 2.5 paragraphs in} I quickly grabbed my next paper and began to write. When I finished that, I grabbed my white paper {final copy paper} and began quickly doing my letters. Unfortunatly, the entire time I ended up messing up. But, only on one word! That was good.
 When the test was over, J moved back to his seat and I could stretch both my arm and legs. {Speaking of leg, I must have slept on it wrong, because it kinda hurts to walk. The pain is coming from under my knee...}

 The rest of the day was pretty boring. Except fit club. That has a story!

 Today in fit club, S and I were going to be staying for fit club, and it turns out that one of my friends {E} was also staying! I was excited, but bummed because I forgot my shoes and instead wore boots! Luckily the coach had an extra pair, but they were, like, 3 sizes too small! I dealt, but my toes were literally curled over. Ouch. And now, I have blisters and cuts on my feet!
 Part of the fit club is running around the school. One part of the school is where youu half to run down this long hill next to the field where the football team {my mom hates when I say footballers. She remindes me that it isn't correct.} practices. Well, S, E and I were all walking and decided to jog past the football team, right? So we go bolting down this hill and all we here is ''Woo! Woo! Run faster! Faster! Go E! Go S! WHOO!" {I didn't hear my name being called at all, which kinda stunk.} It turns out that the team was right at the edge of the field, and close to where we were running. Luckily, we stopped and the voices faded as we walked. All we could say was ''Woah." Strangely enough, that team took a lot of breaks as we ran by, they were always right there, or close by. Later on, I even had one of the guys tell me, "Did you hear me yelling at you guys to run?" It was crazy!


That was it, but I hope you enjoyed what little there was ! :) Trust me, more will come soon!

Earlier This Was A Cool Title.... Then I forgot it.

 Tomorrow I have to take the prep writing test for 8'th grade. {The test isn't even until next year!} So that means I have to get a good sleep and eat a good breakfast tomorrow.
But since I am in a rush, I will have to speed up things.

 Speaking of breakfast, earlier today my brother came in my room and said, ''It's 6:35." and walked away. For some reason, my brain didn't comprehend that is was 6:35 until I saw the clock. Oh, crap! I thought, and I threw my covers off, grabbed my clothes and glasses and ran to the bathroom. Now, I know it sounds silly but I didn't want to wear my glasses to school, so I put on my contacts first. I mean, I don't want to look weird at school! {I haven't worn my glasses at all to school, so nobody really knows what I look like with glasses except the people from my classes last year.} Then I only had 0 minutes to get ready, so I asked my brother to see if my dad could drive us to the bus stop. Thankfully, he did! Which gave me and extra 5 minutes.
 Once at school, I went to my locker, and back to class. {After walking around a bit with my friends.} And when I went back to class, K {girl who sits next to me in homeroom} read my essay for drama and said, ''Your talking about J aren't you?" And I was confused, so I asked what and she said, ''J made the Captain Louie play and she didn't try out. She was talking about it." Then she looked around, making sure that B wasn't in homeroom yet. {J and B are friends in drama class.} I was shocked. Make that 3 people who didn't try out for the play, yet made it! Another thing that happened in homeroom was this:

Teach: ''Ok, class. I have some exciting news!"
Kim: "Are we taking a field trip?"
Teach: "Kim! You just interrupted me! I have something important and you interrupted me! Apologize, please!"
Kim: "I, uh, am sorry that I interrupted you for something I was excited about."
Teach: "Ok, I am signing us up for a social network!"

 The funny thing was, she was so excited about this. We, completely shocked, could only laugh. So we laughed, and laughed. Finally she said,
"This is revolutionary! I'm only doing this with this class!"
{Add more laughing.}
 In drama I quickly walked in to find that the teacher sent around a girl, S, to pick up our essays. I handed her my 1,000 word essay {more like little under 100!} and all S did was look at it. Then move on. {LOL!!} Then the teacher sent another girl around, A, to go get the Crucible essays. I gave A mine and she walked off. Later on, I was with L and M, {the 3 of us are getting everyones costumes} and we were talking about costumes, when the teacher kept yelling for everybody to be quiet. {Since a lot of the same people from yesterday were talking!} Then she compared the class to a dog, and threatened to give us another 500 words. {Then she added that she could make it a regular thing!} Ha. Not likely. I should show you guys my essay, I bet you would laugh (;
Health class was bor-ing. I will sum it up: I took a test and was one of the only 2 people to spell pneumonia right.
 Science was ok also, I did some coloring about molecules. And, of all things, the teacher moved K to sit in front of me. Now it is me, A and K {these are all just their first initial..}
 Math was hard. I had to take a test and I didn't know the answers to 2 questions. {That makes me sound like a nerd. But there was 9 questions on the test, so it made it hard!} Also, one kid opened the window in the back of the class and a bunch of kids were looking outside! Then, one kid threw his notebook outside! When the kid was about to climb out to get it, the sub caught him! Oh, he was lucky it wasn't our normal teacher!
 Langauge Arts. Oh, language arts. My teacher always gives my class life lessons. But, since I have to take a mock-writing test tomorrow, she mainly explained all about that. The test starts at 8:15 and ends at 10. Uggh. And, to make things a bit worse, it is in 4'th period. Which is always cold. And, its science. Nothing wrong with the teacher, its just...Science.
 Social studies was cool! We had an activity with M'n'M's and I, unfortunatly ended up getting only 1.

Sorry for some crappy explinations of my day, but I need to get some rest!

I Must Be Crazy . . . But . . .

 I sware, I must have had more homework then a college student tonight.

 On my previous post, I made school sound... Easier then usual. But this is how my day went:
 In homeroom the class read for 10 minutes. That part was OK because I am reading Pretty Little Liars book 3 and cannot wait for the TV show to come back! Then the class helpers passed out the Walk Two Moons books and we read a few chapters in that, too! {Which was super boring!} Afterword the school bell rang which issued us to 2'nd period.
 In drama my teacher told us to finish our essays for the movie ''The Crucible" which was basicly a movie about the Salem Witch Trails. For my essay I had to write a review over the entire movie. And apparently 5 paragraphs was enough to fit the bill. While in the middle of typing mine {I couldn't think of anything on paper, so I got my inspiration while typing!} some students decided it would be wise to talk. {Now, I am all for talking. And I admit I was talking! But when a teacher tells me to stop, I stop.} The teacher then said no talking. Talking continued. Once again, she said no talking. Finally I guess she had enough because she then said,
 "Alright! 500 word essay all of you and it will be due tomorrow."
{Insert moans}
 "Wanna keep talking? Make it 1,000! Due tomorrow!" She practicly hissed. {Ok, she didnt hiss, just emphasized the word tomorrow}
 Then, because some IDIOT didn't get the hint, she loudly said, ''C! Do you want to up it to 1,500 for the whole class? Then they can blame YOU!" He said no, but boy, if he said yes. He would have gotton so many dirty looks, his head would have shrank so far back that people would have started calling him Turtle. Thankfully, class was dismissed by the bell. But, according to school rules, the teacher dismisses you. Not the bell. ''I didn't dismiss any of you. Sit back down." As she said this, most students sat back down. However, her class pets walked right up and over to the door. Man, those people make me mad. "Due tomorrow. Dismissed.'' Was all she said.
 Health is probably my least-favorite and most-boring class ever. I mean, I don't think there is a way to make health fun. It's probably a proven fact. But, since I have no life {JUST KIDDING!} I will try to explain in full detail what happened. Every day I come in, sit down and start my warm up. Warm up consists of an Essential Question and a vocab word or two. Once done with the warm up and vocab, we start notes. Every. Day. Literally, every day for the past 9 weeks we have taken notes! *Cough! Cough! Paper waster! Cough!* And since we also had a project, we tryed to finish them up today, too! Thankfully the group I am in did their part and didn't have me do all the work!
 Science class was a review day. I had to turn in those *dreaded* projects. {All 6 of them} and finish my Periodic Table of elements notes. Once done with that, I sat and talked to a girl at my table, A, who made me laugh so hard I almost cried.
 Math is definatly a change, since my teacher will be leaving the 1'st.The new one who will be taking over had actually come in today and didn't talk much. But I have a feeling she will be a mean one. She just has that ora. And, as if the science projects weren't bad enough, tomorrow I have a math test! But I have gotton zero prep time in, so.. Like I always say, "I dont study, I pass." Ha :)
 Language arts was an alright day. My teacher always gives us life-lessons {for some reason} and today that lesson was about a swan song. Which is a beautiful song a swan sings when it is about to die. Also, for some reason the guy behind me {who looks like the pokemon-card-battler-yet-still-fits-in-time-for-math- kind of guy. Basicly the guy is kind of a nerd. And I hate saying that because I know people probably call me that, but he just looks it} starts singing ''I'm Sexy and I Know It" by LMFAO . He can be weird.
 Social Studies was hilarious. We learned about the Revolutionary War and A {same girl from science, we have ever class together. She sits by me in science and social studies} and I were cracking up at guerilla warfare. This was how it went:
A: I didnt know guerilla was spelt like that! I thought it has an O!
{insert my laughter}
random kid in class: It does have an O, but that was how they talked back then!"
{insert me laughing so hard and my teacher just gazing at the sky}


Yep, so that was it!

Set My Alarm Clock..

 Well, after 7 days off from school, it is safe to say I am looking forward to school. I mean dont get me wrong, I dont like school! However, after sitting around home and being out of school for 7 days, well... It's nice that I get to go see my friends and (unfortunatly) wake up early so I can see them. :)

 Now that Thanksgiving Break is officially over, people can (officially) start the holiday music and focusing on, what else? Christmas Break! Last year I got 3 weeks off of school for Christmas break. This year, I dont know how many weeks! About the music, see right after Halloween this one radio station played nothing but Christmas music! And only stopped it for a football game!! I mean, how retarded is that? I put the radio on for music not, ''And there goes so-and-so tackling so-and-so...OH! Touchdown! Wait, no it was a foul. " Sigh. Oh well. On a holiday note, 29 days till Christmas! If you cant tell, I am excited!!
 So, on a school note, guess what? I am gonna dish it all out so get ready...

 Homeroom. Ugg probably one of my least favorite classes. I have one of the laziest classes and a book that is so hard to follow along with. It is called Walk Two Moons. And you know what is funny? The **slow, and by slow I dont mean challenged I just mean the populars who fake blonde-ness** kids follow along but they couldn't when reading a 5'th grade book?
 Drama and Health. Drama is getting boring and boring by the day. I cant stand all this favoritism! I like the class, but it's getting to be a popularity thing and I cant, no, wont compete with some of them. Health? It's health, not really a fun class.
 Science is, well, science. Not only do I have 3 projects due tomorrow but since the teacher gave me extra-credit, I now have 6 due tomorrow. (She said the 3 extra could be brought in any day but I will bring them in tomorrow)
 Math is alright, but over the break I have most likely forgotten a lot. :)
 Language Arts is by far the easiest. But, thanks to the tornado, I will have to make up (along with everyone else) a writing pre-test for the big writing test at the end of the year. I think..
 Now, dont get me wrong, GA Studies is great.. But with the 7 days off... Well, I have a blank in my mind right now.


So, that's it! Have a GREAT day and, thank you for reading :)
{It sounds so formal!(: }

I Cant Think of A Title ...

 Today was an OK day.

 I woke up early today, and my teeth were chattering. I literally woke up with my teeth chattering! And not because I was sleeping on top of the covers, but because of how cold it was! I was under my somewhat-thick covers and sleepily grabbed my fleece (Is it fleece? I don't know..) blanket and threw it over me. Then fell back to sleep.
 Soon after that I woke up again because I wanted to go with my mom when if she went to drive my dad to work! I shouted my brothers name a couple times, but I guess he didn't hear me. I waited for my dad to go into the kitchen before I shouted his name. (Keep in mind I was still in my bed) I said ''Dad!" and waited. When he replied, I asked if I my mom would be driving him. The answer was no. After a few minutes he came to both my brother's room, and mine, and told us that he was going to work. So what did I do after that? Go back to sleep.
 Waking up after that I lazily dragged myself out of bed and grabbed my glasses. (I wear contacts during the day and at night I put on glasses) I then went to the bathroom to put in my contacts and clean my retainer. Speaking of retainer, do you know how hard it is to clean them? It isn't. It is instead the whole- no eat thing and no drink thing. (I cant eat food with it in and I cant drink anything with it in, either. Water is fine, but anything with sugar can give me cavities.) And the breath? Ew! I cant stand not brushing my teeth after I clean my retainer, it is just gross! By this time I had gone to the bathroom and walked into my mom's room. I felt how cold the room was and decided to go eat instead. (Which makes zero sense since I just cleaned my retainer and brushed my teeth!) Afterword I went to my mom's room and sat down on her bed. I pulled a blanket over me and sat. But, it wasn't very cold anymore since I piled on my HARVARD sweatshirt (I got it when in Boston over the summer. I LOVED it there!) and elf socks. The funny thing was, I didn't feel like changing into pants, I was still in my sleeping shorts! I sat with my mom for about 1-2 hours and then, now at 11:00 got up and out.
 But, like I said earlier today wasn't one of those rush-out-the-door days. Since I put so much detail into the first half of the day, let me sum up the next-half..
 At lunch time the stupid Mario theme song was stuck in my head (and is now!) because my brother, Declan, continually plays that ridiculous Wii game! He says he is trying to unlock a new ghost racer, but in doing so, the TV is being hogged.
 Then, at lunch I decided I would eat left-over pizza. I had claimed one plate which consisted of 3 good-sized slices. I leave and when I come back, BAM!, guess what happened? Aidan ate my pizza! This is the second time he has eaten my lunch, second! First it was my taquitos, now my pizza!?! C'mon! So, I yelled at him about how he should have not eaten them and was then told, ''Well they didn't have your name on them!" But, I have heard this one before so I responded with, "Well, they didn't have yours on them, either!" And that was that.
 Another thing that happend was Spy's. It is a game me and my sister, Maeve, play. But since Aidan found out, he has been a spy, too! Today the 3 of us came up with signals, ''handshake'', calls, and a plan of action. Our target? Declan. There was only one flaw, my mom was at the computer, so how could we capture the enemy? By going through with our plan, of course! So, we stealthily (more like loudly) go out to the living room and attack. Aidan, then me, and finally Maeve. Declan, just shouted, ''Get outa my way, I am playing here!" Which resulted in mom telling us to leave him alone. But, that didnt stop us! So we, for the second time, casually sit next to him and bug him. (This was our different plan.)
 And really? That was my day. Goofin' off, hanging out, and...Oh yeah! Making two music videos, which resulted in us running inside because of the yellow jackets. Urg.

Spread the Gobble !

 Thanksgiving today was a BIG success! So much happened and I will be glad to tell you it all!

 My first words of the day were ''Uggggh.'' Literally! I was woken up at 7:30 (ish) and not because of my alarm, but because of my mom! You see, today was the day my mom, brother and I would go to help the homeless! Every year we go down to a church near us and serve food to those homeless in the area! We have done this for the past 3 years, and each year I look forward to this even more! Usually my Nana and Papa come help us, but this year we wanted a quiet holiday with just my family instead of having company! 
 While serving food, I saw my old 3'rd grade teacher, and one of my friends. Brittany! I laughed so hard when I saw her, because I hadn't seen her since school! (Which was a week ago!) This year was even more packed then usual, and thankfully this place doesnt turn down volunteers, because if they did we might have been told to leave! We had to stop serving around 11:30, because the kitchen ran out of ham and turkey! But, thankfully we couldn't turn anybody down because there was still vegies, potatos, and cranberries, pineapples, stuffing, pie, and bagels! Afterword we cleaned up and got ready to leave. My mom, brother, and I then said goodbye to my past teacher and left.
 Quickly we went over to my mom's friends home to pick up our turkey. (Which had been frying while we were serving.) We socialized for about 20 minutes and then left.
When we arrived home we quickly cooked our food and dug in around 3:00! When my dad was cutting the turkey, guess what we found? It turned out the people who fried our turkey only took out one bag! (I dont know what was in the bag so..) And they left the 2'nd one in! So we took it out and continued cutting, but making sure that there wasnt a third bag of unknown stuff! At 3:30, I was stuffed! I had so much food! But, I saved room for the cake, which was delicious!
 I am thankful for so much right now!

Have a great day, and a very happy Thanksgiving!

Pre Turkey Stress ...

 For those of you readers who live in forgein countries, that don't know what ''Turkey Day'' is, listen up!
 Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! And my family has a lot of cooking to do! We are going to be frying a turkey this year, add stuffing, cranberry sauce, veggies, sweet potato souffle; and cake, and you have a meal fit for a king! (Or in our case, a king a queen, two princesses and 2 princes!) Usually we have a regular turkey, but my mom really likes fried turkeys, so this year we will have a fried turkey! Cranberry sauce is so good , and we really only have it on this day! Stuffing is also a favorite, and so is the souffle. Veggies aren't new, but we still enjoy them. Cake is for dessert, and it is a scrumptious butterscotch cake, drizzled with a delectible topping/frosting. (Mmmm..) And that concludes our meal :)
 Tomorrow I also have to wake up early so I can go with my mom and brother to the soup kitchen to volunteer. We do this every year, and I have a lot of fun doing this!
 Other then that nothing else will be going on tomorrow!

 But what is a Thanksgiving without saying what you are thankful for?

I am thankful for my family, food, clothes, a roof over my head, healthy-ness, friends, a good education, and most of all : God.


Have A Happy Thanksgiving Tomorrow!

A Weekend's Tasks...

 Ok, this blog post will be a sorry excuse for one, since I dont have a lot to say!

Ok, so in all honesty I dont have a lot to say about the past few days, so...

The reason I even posted this was to remind you that I have not forgotten about posting, but that I am still going to post! I just need to find time to!

Tornado WARNING!

 Yesterday, Georgia got a big wake up call.


 In 6'th period, which is Language Arts, the announcer from the main office buzzed throughout the school.

 Cchhtt ''Attention teachers and students. Attention teachers and students, this is a brief announcement. Right now we are currently on a tornado warning. Teachers, please do not let your students leave the classroom. Thank you.''

 Instantly the class is buzzing with ''Tornado warning?' and 'Oh my gosh, were gonna die.' I look around. To my left is Brittany, who turns and faces me.

''Did you hear that?'' She askes me
''Yeah.'' I reply
''That was a tornado warning!''
''So?" Was all I could say (I get the two tornado signs mixed up)
''That means it is coming right to us!" She says, and turns away.
I shake my head, and look to the right, where Jaqcueline sits.
''So, Brittany just said the tornado is coming right at us.''
''No it isnt. A watch just means that one is spotted nearby.'' Replys Jaqcueline
''Oh, ok.'' I say.

 I turn forward again and wait. My teacher then gets up to the front of the class and starts to tell us the difference between a watch and a warning. As she speaks, we quietly listen. Noticing the pitter patter of rain begining to turn into thuds. She tells us to open our books and to begin to read aloud. While one kid reads, the lights flicker. Then turn off completely. Surprisingly, no screams came from my classroom. Instantly the lights flick back on, and the announcement comes on once again.

Cchhtt '' Attention teachers and students. Attention teachers and students, this is a brief announcement. Teachers, we are now in a tornado warning, please go to your safety zones immediatly. Thank you.''

 Instantly everybody jumps up, grabbing nothing. I, noticing one girl holding a purse, reaches down and grabs mine. (I'm not leaving my phone!) I also lean over and grab the thickest book ever and hold on to it. (It was one of those humongous literature books used for school) We go out into the hall, and the teachers around us are all saying the same thing,
''Get down, now!''
 We each get down onto the floor in that uncomfortable postition (the one where we have our backs to the sky and our knees to our face. Not to mention our head against the wall and a book on our head!) To my left is Jacqueline, Brittany and Trevon. Trevon then looks at the 3 of us (Jacqueline, Brittany, and me) and says, ''See you in Heaven!" To my right is a girl named Karmen. Next to Karmen is a girl from my 6'th grade class, Hannah. She was crying, for like, 10 minutes straight. The hall soon got quiet, very quiet. And over the speaker comes announcements like,

''Teachers, if you have not been assigned a class, please get in a safety zone!"

 One thing that was sad was this one kid, his name is Dillon, (Dillon is special needs) his mom came up to the school with his little sister and they had to wait with us for 3 hours! His little sister was ok, but I heard that she was crying at one point.
 For 3 hours we sat. Then, little by little, the teachers began to let us sit up. Finally we were all facing the people in front of us and waiting. Then, one announcement said,

''We need so-and-so, they're leaving.''

This caused some confusion. Our parents could get us? We could leave? As soon as the announcement was issued for that kid to leave, more and more were leaving. Soon, a good chunk of my hall was gone.

''Teachers, you are now all aloud to go back into your classrooms. Thank you for your cooperation.''

 When we went back into our classrooms, we waited. This whole time I had been texting my Dad, and my battery went from 50% to 10% in less then 30 minutes. Then, my phone died. All my communication back home, dead. Great, I thought. Finally, at 5:00 PM(!!!) The buses are ready to take us home. As I am walk to my bus, I dont know what to expect. So many people left, that for all I know, I could be alone! But we had to go to the high school first. So, I get on and there is about 12 middle schoolers. (Probably less!) On the bus. Thankfully, one of my friends Alexis is on, and Panashe gets on after me. Going to the high school was fun. We were looking all around for signs of the tornado. And the tornado was literally right up the street. Tree's were snapped in half, roof's torn off homes and buildings. Leaves and branches floated around, and right in front of the high school were 2 trees twisted in the power lines. The bottom of some trailer-classrooms were torn, revealing a not-so-attractive hole. The roof of the gym was ripped off, showing twisted metal bars and yellow insulation everywhere. The football field and baseball field were gone. The fences were mangled and 96% of cars were a mess. Peices of tire, window, and basic car were everywhere. I even heard that one of the halls inside the school was gone. Because of all this mess, the high school, my school, and every other school in my county are off. So now I can rest, but thankfull that nobody got hurt. Be thankful for what you have, because one day you might not have anything.

Why is Drama Class So Absurd?

 Yesterday were play auditions. For a play called Captain Louey. I really wanted to be in the play, so I went and auditioned. It was a lot of fun, and I couldn't wait for the call back list to be posted. My drama teacher said to us that she wouldnt be picking who would stay, but the 3 helpers (singing, dancing, and acting coaches) would pick who and her and the other school's drama teacher would put in their input. My teacher also told us it would be posted last night, but since we are doing this show with another school, it could take a couple hours. So I checked, and checked. And checked some more. But the list had yet to be posted online.
 Today on my way to school, I decided to check online to see if it was posted! It was! So as I skim through the names, I see the name Abbey and my last name! It was strange, but since all the teachers yesterday who helped with auditions got my name wrong, I figured it was a typo. At school I am very confident. I made the call backs, which meant all the plays I have tried out for, I have made! Well, in Drama class, my teacher told us that even though we are on the call back list we are in the play, but the call backs would be for a bigger part. If you didnt get a big part, you would be ensemble. On the list it said I had to learn 2 songs for tomorrows call back audition. Which would be OK. After class, I go up to my teacher and say,
''Do you mind burning me a CD of the songs I need to learn?"
Her response was, ''Sure! Come back later and I will give it to you."
So during lunch I go to her and, unfortunatly, she didn't have my CD yet. After that I decided to wait until 7'th period to go again.
 In 7'th period I run up and ask my teacher if I can go to the Drama room. She said 'Yes, but you need to hurry!' So I went.
 Finally when I arrive, I knock on the door. The teacher ushers me over and says this:
Her: "Um, I dont see you name on the list.."
Me: "Uh, I saw the name Abbey (my last name) and figured it was typo?"
Her: "Oh, no. I think that is a student from the other school.''
Me: ''Ok."
Then she said something about shuffling papers and how she must have not seen mine. (Or something like that.) I said OK and smiled. Then I left. When I left, my eye was starting to tear up. I really wanted this. And, once again, the favorites got the part. Go figure. I wanted this. And didn't get it. And once I got to thinking, I realized; How many people live in the same place as me with the same last name and just so happen to be on the play call back list? That's right. None. And if that name was mine, tomorrow I would be crazily unprepared. It's just so unfair. How am I supposed to get better if she keeps putting in the same people!?
Anyway,

God Bless

My Braces Are OFF!

 I will admit, I was so nervous. I was scared that getting braces off would hurt. Of course, I was scared to get them on (I heard they did..) but they didnt. But at 9:10 AM I should have expected what would happen..

 I am sitting in a chair. Nothing special about it, it is one of those movable chairs. I am waiting for the Dr. to come in. While I am waiting, one of his assistants, who is super nice, comes and began to tell me what would happen.
''He is going to use this to apply preasure to the bracket and then they will pop right off! It wont hurt, either!"
I nodded. Even though I was thinking about the pain I would be in. Then the doctor came is and said he would look at my teeth. So I opened my mouth and POP, POP, POP! my braces were being poped off! I jumped a few times, but I think it was because I didnt want it to clip me. After, he pulled out my braces! It came off quick, and then the tops came off! After that, he told me to brush. When I came back, he told me he was going to polish the glue off. My jaw got tired of being open, but I lived :) After that, I went in for an X-Ray and more molds for my retainer. (I am getting 3) The Dr. then filed down some ridges in my teeth and glued in my permanent retainer on my bottom teeth. Right now, it is in and it feels weird!! Lastly I signed his wall! After his patients get their braces off, you sign his wall with whatever you half to say!! Once I left, I went straight to the car and held up my Peeps from Easter! I ate half of one before my Mom told me to stop since I was going to see my Dad at his work. When we arrived at my Dad's work, we talked for a bit and I showed him my mouth. It feels so different! On the 30 min drive to school, I ate 12 Peeps.
After school, I went back to the orthodontist to get my other retainer, this one is clear and feels different! Next month I will get my other retainer! Oh boy, :)


God BLESS

I Am So Upset...

 Yesterday were class auditions for the class play in drama. ''Everybody would get a part'' said the teacher. But what she failed to mention was the importance.

 In drama I was excited. I was happy because I was very confident about my performence yesterday and thought I had the role I wanted in the bag. HA! Wrong. One by one parts are gone. And all that's left are soldiers. Soldiers!!! Quickly she rattles off the unlucky kids. The leftover kids. And I was one of them. A leftover. Great, just great! I wanted to be in a lead role but guess who got one? You can guess because I dont feel like typing her name. Also, Julie and Elizabeth werent able to audition yesterday but STILL GOT BIG PARTS. How is that fair?! Julie couldnt even keep up today! And, oh boy, guess what else? After the squealing from Madison and Alivia died down (they repeatedly said, ''I love Creativly Yours!'') I could hear the rest of what my teacher was saying,
"The costumes will be picked out by Lordynn, Aislinn, and Morgan. Which means you will have to meet up and try on clothes that you feel is appropriate for the play and once you guys do that we will meet up for a fitting."
 After reading through my script, I found out one thing, I have no lines. None. 0. No lines at all. The only good thing that came of this was the perk of trying on clothes.
 The rest of the school was bland. Tastless. Boring.


God Bless,
