| Ugh, so about this hw thing...it needs to be optional. Seriously. I am getting so stretched thin over this whole full IB/hospital/science olympiad thing. Plus I reverted back to my old addiction to futurama, which is on at 11:30 at night. So now I'm not getting enough sleep either, because nooo I have to stay up and watch futurama.  I swear, not showing up tomorrow would be so ideal. I should have made a doctors appt conveniently for 2nd period...that happens to overlap into 4th. >.>;
I did a backhandspring today (well hoyt spotted me...but he way overspotted and his knee was in the way of my spring. gr) and it didnt hurt my back at all. Soo yeah. After I get a ton of physical therapy I might start going back to once a week at gyminny kids. Because gymnastics is addicting. I need an outlet. XD
*snap*
| | |
| Winter formal. woah, that was fun . Brett drove us around base and made the guy at the guard shack salute the car..fun fun. Hoyt and I actually danced quite a bit, and Joseph finally gave me the dance he's owed me (plus a few) for over 2 years. So much fun. Then Brett Olivia Hoyt and I went out to Denny's at midnight and we were all super tired and laughing at everything. So much fun.
| | |
| Yay! Finals are over! ^.^ So far I think my grades are as follows:
English - B
French- A
Calc- B
History- B
Bio- B
Physics- A
whooo! not bad for being a total slacker and not understanding math or physics. Thanks to you rockin people that help me all the time
