school time

Woops. I didn't notice that the one year-mark for this blog was on August 8th. So.. Happy three-weeks-late birthday, Gosh's Erblog! >.< Yeah. In other news, school started nearly a week ago, and so I have the duty to post my schedule and comments about it, etc, etc. Luckily I already did that for le tumblr so behold!

Period 1 - Language arts with Mr. Lankford. SOOOOO AWESOME. And I’ve got several of my friends in there. Yeah, definitely one of my favorite classes.

Period 2 - Multimedia II with Mr. Black. I’m one of the only 3 girls in there.. but one of the other girls is one of my friends, who I haven’t had any classes with since third grade. Not bad. Plus the class is cool.

Period 3 - US History with Mrs. Moore. She’s okay, I guess, but the best thing about that class is that all my best friends are in it. Sweet!

Period 4 - Science with Mrs. Negrito. Ugh, she is soooo strict, and annoying too. I have a couple friends in this class, but her seating arrangement places me far from them.

Period 5 - Health with Coach Philen for half a year, and for the second half, PE. I’ll get .5 of a high school credit, which is all I’ll need for Health. And I’ve got friends in this class. Not bad!

Period 6 - Lunch. All my friends and I have the same lunch period. Nothing else to be said, really.

Period 7 - Advisory with Mr. Lankford. Advisory is basically a 20-minute study hall, but the cool thing is I have a bunch of my friends in my advisory (plus, you know, cool teacher.) Only thing is.. there are also a bunch of snooty “popular” girls in there. At least we have open seating!

Period 8 - Art I with Mrs. Benoit. It’s a high school class, so if I pass (which I’m fairly confident about) I’ll get another high school credit - this time a fine arts one. Also, I’ve got some friends in here. Nice.

Period 9 - Geometry with Mr. Carine. Annoying. First off, from the few lessons we’ve had, I can already tell that I don’t like geometry and Mr. Carine isn’t very interesting either. I’ve got a friend or two in this class, but.. ugh. At least it’s another high school credit class - so if I pass this, Health, and Art, then I’ll have 3.5 high school credits without even going to high school. (I already got one in seventh grade for algebra.)

Right, so.. I guess it’s time to work on geometry homework. WHY was I somewhat excited for eighth grade?! .-.

clumsiness troubles

Alright, so there's this one restaurant we go to a lot. They have a fountain outside that we always throw pennies into (for silly wish purposes). I step up on the ledge every time to try to get the coin to fall into the highest tier of the fountain. Except this time I tripped and fell into the fountain. Isn't that brilliant.

In other news, I'm back at home, and school starts next Tuesday for me. I'm kinda excited to see more of my friends again tomorrow at textbook pickup, and I can't wait to find out my schedule (we get our schedules + first day packets first period on the first day of school.)

Annnnndddd... I'm getting a bit obsessed with the Total Drama Island series, especially this season, Total Drama World Tour. It's probably not helped by the fact that this one user is releasing one episode a day, and they're on like episode 17, whereas only 10 have aired in the US. I especially love the music c:

I've gotta go now, apparently the approaching start of school means earlier betimes. Good night!

stormy alabama

Right, so I'm in Alabama right now, visiting my grandma. The trip to [undisclosed waterpark] was very fun, I'd definitely recommend it. I am... actually rather bored at the moment, but I felt compelled to blog and stay active while the internet is alive. By the way, I've been checking out this other blogging service called Posterous. It's pretty cool, I'd say, but also pretty small in the blog world. Also, I'm pretty miffed because it's been 10 days since the last OOTS strip. Maybe tomorrow will be my lucky day.

Alright, it's about to storm, so I'll just go ahead and post this d:

civilization

Well, it turns out that for my brother's birthday I, my dad, and my siblings went to one of those jumpy-thing places (you know, with the inflatable bounce-houses? hopefully someone understands what I am saying) while my mom went out to get presents and wrap them. Yeah, my parents are procrastinators too. And we'll go to that unnamed water park next week, before we go to Alabama again.

So.. September 21st! Civilization 5 is finally coming out on September 21st! Whee! I've been playing various Civ games since I was like 5, so I'm quite excited. I'll have to buy it straightaway c: For those that don't know, Civilization is an amazing build-an-empire turn-based-strategy game. Although people who would be interested in that sort of thing have probably already heard of Civ, but I digress.

Ah well.. gonna go play aramii now! *poofs*

titles are boring

So tomorrow's my brother's sixth birthday, and to celebrate this our family is going to this awesome waterpark. That will be fun, especially because I haven't gone to go anywhere decent in terms of amusement parks since third grade, seeing as around third grade my little brother was born and prevented us from doing that kinda thing. (Admittedly, had I taken orchestra, band, or choir in the past 2 years, I would've gotten an opportunity to.. but that's not the point.) So, that'll definitely be cool.

So, uh.. I'm listening to my whole music collection, shuffled, which I don't usually do (I tend to stick to playlists.) Yeah. Oh, and on Friday I hosted a sleepover that consisted of me and my 4 best friends. I hadn't seen any of them but one all summer, so that was fun. 'Course, a couple of them left stuff, but I'll be able to return said stuff at one of the friends' birthday part on the 7th.

So, uh.. yeah. I'm tempted to ramble on about some changes in one of my favorite sites, but no one would know what the heck I'd be talking about, so I'll shut it.
