He was definitely there (and stoned).

My WONDERFUL friends have recently gotten very paranoid and have decided that the school prez stares at me because he "likes me". Jack is very happy about this because that means one of his "boyfriends" will have been taken away. Today, he was at the SNHS meeting and he looked kinda stoned...
Joseph, Katelyn and Anna are playing Canon in D, and the piano part isn't good until about the end besides the fact that it starts alone.
My permit card thing came in the mail yesterday!
I'm really bored. I have nothing interesting to say and ____ talking to me is NOT like "day and night". Unfortunately, he DID notice me. O.O
In Pre-Calc, I told Ryan that his head was good where it was because it blocked the 900 building balcony (allusion to Romeo and Juliet) so he lowered his head very far. Jack is now in love with Chris Kessling, who is in three of my classes and sits in front of Jack in Pre-Calc. Typing of Pre-Calc, we are probably getting our tests back tomorrow. She said she graded the first page for everyone and no one got a 100%. This was very disappointing. I still have an 85.7% in English and she only uploads our grades every two weeks. If I do perfectly until 9/18 (interim reports), I SHOULD have an A but you never know. Thankfully, I don't think we're individually presenting our projects tomorrow, but there will be a "gallery" sort of showing. There is a test in Spanish, quiz in Euro and test in Stat tomorrow. All in a row starting in first period. I am going to be very, very nervous.

Day Three

After lunch, my dad sat in the car as we made circles at Meadow Ridge and Preservation again. Then, my parents and brother and I left the house to go to Home Depot. My dad stopped in Walgreens and I took over from there until that place across from Suntrust. I parked (where there weren't cars) correctly, which was very lucky. Then, as we drove home, my dad went into the BAM! parking lot. I drove home from there and on Bannerman for the second time since yesterday. Driving 50mph on Bannerman is awesome. Jack finished his Drug/Alcohol Course today!!! He still has to patiently wait for his certificate, though. I wish my mom drove to work in the smaller car... Then, I could scare Lisa every morning. I'm so excited!
I'm not so excited about my grades, though...

El segundo dia cuando conduzco.

This very late morning around 1:30pmish, my father let me drive on Ronds Pointe, Preservation, Conservancy, Summerbrooke Drive, and Meadow Ridge. He backed out of our driveway for me, though. We probably went around and around for about an hour. Later today in the 3pmish time frame, my brother was being very feverish so my mom and I went to Publix to buy ice cream and other food-related objects. She drove outside Chiles but instead of going to the parking lot, I got on the car, turned to Thomasville, changed to the right lane successfully-ish. I looked in the mirrors but turned too quickly- there were double white lines for a while until I could turn to the right lane. Bannerman was a little scary because it was so narrow, but it was okay. I'm so glad my mom isn't scared of me driving. My dad didn't want me to go on Bannerman today. He said I was too wobbly. I can't wait to drive to school every day, but it will be in the van so I probably can't for a while. My dad's work place is farther away so he takes the smaller car.
Katelyn's having party but Jack, Chanyang and I have academic issues... cough cough Euro test Tuesday cough cough.

::EDIT:: Went driving in Summerbrooke and Ox Bottom again.

From Chiles to Deerlake

My mom took me to the CHS parking lot, and amazingly, the gates were open! I went in circles for a long time. Later, I went onto Lawton Chiles Lane, passed the Broken Egg Cafe, and ended up passing Golden Eagle west. I later passed DMS and went past Journey's End and Winter's Run, where I finally met a dead end. On the way back, I stopped by the side of the road so my mom could get the car back. She got really scared when she realized that I was driving about 35mph even though previously, she'd told me to do that. I was too much of a novice to go on Bannerman, and she taught me how to add oil to the car by paying with a credit card. And just so you law-obsessed people know, it wasn't actually DARK when I was driving before my mom drove again. The sun had not set until after she started driving.
The only thing I "crashed" into was the curb when my mom was making me park at CHS and I didn't know she wanted me to so I kept going forward because she was talking to me and it was really distracting. Yay!!!!!

Today, Appalachian State beat Michigan State 34-32. Jack, Ryan and I pretty much love Appalachian State now. It wasn't even a Division I team or something, so this was awesome! And WI obviously beat WSU.

While everyone was at the football game...

I couldn't go because I had a piano lesson at 8:15pm. It rained a lot, but I'm sure it was very, very fun. On the way home, right after we'd left the teacher's house, it wasn't really raining. There was a straight part of the road, and in the DARK, my mom let me drive for the first time and I didn't actually have my temporary permit(piece of paper used before they mail you the card) with me. The car lurched quite a bit because I didn't know how easily it would move. 0.0
Chanyang called me around 9:30pm and I answered her back at about 10:00pm when I arrived at home. She was calling from a restaurant place where a lot of CHS band people were, and I asked her if I knew anyone else there. It just so happened that the student body president, John Moran was there, and he scares me ridiculously. Today during Pre-Calc (6th period), I could see the 900 building balcony and I got very scared because someone could be spying on us. Ryan and Jack didn't help. Later, while waiting for the bus, Joseph kept pointing and indicating locations behind me and saying "Who's there? It's John Moran!"

This is Not Meant to Scare You

I know where you live. I know where you sleep. I know with whom you sleep. I know why you sleep with them. I know where they live. I know where they sleep. I know they sleep with you. I know why they sleep with you. I know where you live...

I GOT INTO JAZZ BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2007-2008 Chiles Jazz Ensemble
I'm not typing all of it, though.
William's 1st trumpet!
I'm excited! I'm excited! I'm excited!

Diana convinced Ryan and me to join JCL. I think he's doing History. I might draw something? I don't know... I would like to contribute to the club, though. Hopefully, this year will be more fun than last year.

I haven't started my homework yet.

My entire biological family forgot my birthday.

This would be really funny if it weren't actually true. This morning, my mom wondered why I was "dressed up" (not really), and I was like, "It's my birthday." Then, she was like, "Oh. I forgot. -silence-", and added a not-very-happy "Happy Birthday!". I feel really special that my friends remembered, and how I went home with seven textbooks because Jack was returning the Spanish 2 textbook I gave him to study over the summer. My bus driver told me to wait outside the bus because I switched to another one to get home a little earlier today. Most of the people on the bus saw me with five large textbooks in my arms. Some looked at me like I was mental, and others actually felt sorry for me. This wasn't a very special birthday, but I'm hoping to get some piano sheet music in the near future!!!
Connie sent me a card and a 2-D timberwolf that you can cut and glue into a 3-d one. 0.0

::EDIT:: I forgot to mention this amazing act of chivalry!!! Ryan and Jack helped me carry my very abundant textbooks after lunch to Pre-Calc and after Pre-Calc to English!!! THANKS, ANTONIN AND NARCISSA!!!!!

El Cuarto.

This day was much better. The classes were even more dull than usual, but my dad installed our Embarq modem, and we now have DSL!!!!!! Finally! After a year of FSU dial-up, this is absolutely amazing. He even said he might get a wireless router! I'm so excited about this! People who never get high-speed are thankful for it. =]
I'm really worried about AP Euro because I'm the only one in the class who's never done a DBQ because I wasn't at Deerlake so I didn't get a certain class (Logic and Semantics) last year. "Really worried" is an enormous understatement.
Stats is so boring! Nooo!!!!! And we had to do measurement in Bio!!!!!! Even worse!

El tecero es el mas horible de los tres.

Nothing really significant happened to make me plunge into a horribly depressing mood, but my chest is weighing me down as though I've cried for hours, but of course, my eyes aren't watery or anything. In Spanish, the teacher pronounces her words really well, but we're not elementary schoolers. In Euro, the only thing that really happens is like David predicted- Omar flirting with the teacher. In Stats, basically, we're covering my second least favorite topic in math (after measurement). It's so dull. Chem isn't much better. Even though the entire company except Diana is there, everyone just sits there the whole time. On the bright side, we took a Math Pre-Test and it was really nice to just solve easy math problems as quickly as possible. Bio was really disappointing. We'd finished our concept map yesterday, and as it turned out, we weren't supposed to make it like the second example in the book (which was still a concept map). I'd already started to feel irritated at everything for some odd reason, so I just vented my anger inside my amygdala during the class. At lunch, I went to Mrs. Chason for the Anchor stuff but I'll have to go back tomorrow because she didn't have all the papers. Lunch... June and Chanyang love stealing each others' seats so much that they always end up stealing MY seat. Pre-Calc was very boring as usual. I haven't learned anything yet, but I never seem to learn anything in math classes at Chiles. Hopefully, this year will be a bit better. English was incredibly vapid, but we read an excerpt from a book about a Japanese woman who was put into a camp in the US when she was young. I believe the teacher misinterpreted an important part, but it doesn't really matter. This day doesn't really seem very terrible, does it? I don't know what's wrong with me. I just feel so empty. My mind is on autopilot and it doesn't want me to have any feelings. Funny... this is how I felt when I first moved here. A relapse, perhaps? Probably not. Enough people have flat-out lied to me to bring me into the real world and notice more the weirdest occurrences.
