shopping and then the doctor*

*the title refers to a doctor's appointment, not dr. who. but dr. who is cool too c:

alright so on Saturday and Sunday my mom and i went shopping AGAIN, because i needed more evening wear for the cruise. i also got two more order of the stick books, yippee! like the five other books i got last Sunday, i'm not allowed to open them until i get on the plane. and i got some nice little black dress shoes. ugh. well, anyways. exams this week, but they'll be pretty easy, i think. school gets out on friday, and on saturday i fly to london! well, i'll fly to (undisclosed city) and meet my grandma and cousin, and from there we'll fly to some city up north, and from there to london. it's like a 12 hour flight, which is why i have lots of books!

oh yeah and today my sister and i got out of school early because we had to get physicals for summer camp. my brother went too because he needed shots for kindergarten, but he didn't get to miss school cause he got out of school last week. c: i had to get two shots, which still kind of hurt. my brother had to get four, and he was crying. my sister didn't get any, which was good, because.. well, i LIKE my ears, okay?

back to talking about preparation for my trip. i think we're done with all the shopping now, but packing.. well, i've packed some card games! heh heh.. heh. well, i have four days to pack. i think i'm good.

cruise

lright, so first off: I got a 92 on my end-of-course algebra exam! I'm pretty happy about this, to tell the truth. It was a pretty difficult exam (well, difficult when you compare it to my other exams :D)

Alright, um, some info on my upcoming trip!
My grandma has paid for herself, my cousin, and I to go on this cruise in Europe! It's the northern part of Europe, so not Greece, Italy, France, or Spain. However, I am going to England, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Finland, and back to Sweden. The cruise starts on June 2nd and ends on June 16th, but we're leaving the day after my school gets out, which is a few days before that, just in case there are flight issues. So hopefully I'll get a few extra days in London! I do hope that that Iceland volcano doesn't provide any problems.

Then I come back for two days just in time to see Toy Story 3 (SQUEE!!) but then I go to summer camp for two weeks, during which time I will not blog and will not have internet access. But that's okay.

I might compile a blog post that has pictures from inside my epic 36-foot tall tree (I used myself to measure how tall it was) and pictures of the mysterious pale yellow tabby that hangs around my house but is scared of humans.

oh darn. i've got the hiccups :c

Well, I got the iTouch alright (of course.) I also got Sketchbook Pro, an art program I can use my tablet on, and a ticket to a 14-day European cruise. It was pretty sweet. I've also been reveling in the fact that I can check my email and read the latest webcomics without getting out of bed. (Wow, that sounds nerdy).

I've also done a full-time switch to Google Chrome, as the security stuff my mom installed was making Firefox too annoying. The bookmarks thing will take some getting used to, but I do like Google Chrome.

My family went to see Avatar in 3D a couple days ago, and it was pretty sweet. It was reminiscent of Princess Mononoke somewhat and Fern Gully especially, but I have to say it was great. It was a little sad when some of the characters died, but man, the imagery was amazing. I mean, some things didn't make much sense (floating mountains?) but the nature was beautiful. I definitely recommend it.

I'll post sometime later with something I've drawn with Sketchbook Pro. Cheers!
