8:55 Tuesday Night   Pretend Caring I wish I had as good of taste in music as Amy. Wow. So today was Tuesday. I woke up at 7, because I forgot to set my alarm to 6:30. So I had to rush into the bathroom to shower before Chelsea could. (I'm mean like that.) I took the bus to school and got there around 8:10. I looked into Prayer meetings but no one was there so I went to Peerswick room and hung out with Owen. We had a couple other people arrive, and then Caleb finally came with the scone and cookie dough mix stuff. woohoo. Yay for study! We baked ...cookies and...scones (go figure). They were pretty good, but I was really hyper most of the rest of the day. Worked on that self portrait thing (SPT) in Art class. I realised I left my staedtler eraser at home and was sort of sad because it's the best eraser evar. I've named her Jane because it seems like a good eraser name. by the way, I just found her. Yay! Hi, Jane! I took my Vis.Diary with me (again) and worked on the SPT through Interval. some of my friends thought it was cool. They were like "WHOA" and i felt pretty awesome, but then they watched me for a little while and that was weird. More differentiation in maths, but it was cool because we got to play with trigonometric functions and a few basic proofs. Yay for being a little bit used to the trigonometric functions! Oh goodness, I just said maths was cool... At lunch I was talking to Arina and Kerry and Geniesa and this little junior student came up to us and asked us where "Zeal" was and I was like "Omigosh! It's Tuesday!" and I went with her to Zeal. I hope she thought it was cool. in Zeal we played Charades and 20 questions and then we got into a "discussion" of what defines a christian. We "studied" some passages and did roleplays! Yay roleplays! But my group was the only one that really got into it and that was sort of a bummer. Eh. Oh well. I got to read lots of lines as Desdemona in English. Reading shakespeare for long blocks is harder than some people make it seem. and Hyun Woo really really sucks at it...and he's reading Othello's part. Holy ! But before class, I said something to Hyun Woo (I don't remember what) and he was freaking out (I don't remember why) and the teacher thought it was just so classic. I totally love her. She's just so into English and she's passionate and that just really helps me. YAY. in Photo I bought film and that reminds me i need to get reimbursement from Daddy. That's about the only thing of significance I did in photo. I scribbled on scrap pieces of paper and called it modern art. Then I found Caleb (it took a while, but i did it!) and followed him home. I followed him into the Peerswick because he had cleaning room but there wasn't much to do. I would have washed dishes but the girl washing dishes didn't want help. then as we were leaving I said, "If i followed you home would you keep me?" After a moment's though, he decided, sure, if I followed him home, he would keep me. I am keptz0r! On our way out of campus, we saw English Teacher! and she said something about me keeping Hyun Woo on his toes or something and scared to be in the same room as me?. And I had no idea what she was talking about and then i remembered I said something that made her laugh before class today and I was like "yeah I actually have no idea what's with him..." which made her laugh? I smiled and pretended to know what she was talking about. We hung around at his house. I discovered that my salad had rotted and leaked all over the change of clothes I had. I was pissed. AAAAAH. But yeah. We also went to Bush Inne and to the $2 shop and got a chess set for photo. Woohoo. I need to go in tomorrow study to see if she's willing to let me do some set up with studio lighting. Then Caleb and I talked about us, and kissed with our eyelashes, and pretended Caleb was sleazy, and I got butterflies in my stomach and I taught him some French. "Je t'adore," and "J'ai une Teresa." Then I went home. When I walked in, Dad asked me what Caleb's plans were over the 2 week holiday between terms one and two. I said probably soccer. He said that we might go to Queenstown and maybe Caleb could come with us if he wanted to and it was okay with his folks. I think that would rock so hardcore. I love that he loves caleb. It makes life so nice and funfilled. Then we watched Friends. Chandler asked Monica to marry him and Dad was like "My way was so much more romantic." and Mum was like "Do you even remember what happened?" "Uhhhhhh..." "You didn't even ask me to marry you." "I didn't?" "We talked about marriage and kids and one day you said, 'My mom says I should get you a ring.'" "Well that's TONS more romantic than a room full of candles." And I shuddered and hoped that someday the man of my dreams would actually pop the question in question form. Maybe I'm just a romantic, but that's how I want it to be. My poor mummy :( and my dumb daddy. They said that they had talked to each other about marriage and their long-term plans before they even started going out, but about marrying eachother about 6 months into the relationship. Hahahaha. So we're not ENTIRELY crazy. Wow, nearly 6 months of continuous dating. Almost 6 months since I gave him his first kiss.. and hardly a dull moment since. He's only ever made me cry twice. Once when we had a slapfight for kicks at a thing and the pain brought tears to my eyes (and then he promised he'd never slap me ever again), and then when he wrote a cheesy poem that I could hardly read but it was sweet enough to jerk a few tears. Mostly because I missed him though, he'd been gone for a long time (ten days! egad!). I'm quite pathetic. We had random conversations while sitting on the couch in his bedroom, like about relaxing our eyes on the keyboard and seeing how many keys across we could "combine." I ate tea, and lazed around, watched tv. I also put the film into my camera. Woohoo for me. But now the exchange rate is more than 74 us cents to the nz dollar. when we got here it was 61. Dad's really stressed. And all I can remember about walking home is all the clinks of dinner dishes I heard coming from the open windows in the quiet suburban culdesac streets. ----------------- 9:36 p.m. Oh yeah: Last night Caleb came around at about 9ish. We giggled and wore daisy chain crowns. :) I told him about coming to visit in December, and we could throw a party and i could run down the stairs everymorning and hop in his bed and tickle him and say "WAKE UP let's make waffles!" and then he could wack me with a pillow and I could sulk off and eat a bowl of cereal because i don't know how to make waffles and doesn't that sound fun? and he said it really did sound fun. I want him to visit really bad.
