As always, reality outweighed my denial. But... Things are going good? You bet. --- I GOT A CELL PHONE! We've been keeping the late summer nights going even though school started. My goodbye's with my friends weren't a tear-fest like a thought it would be. The goodbye's were more like appreciative hugs for such a great summer, and guaruntees to come party at dorms throughout the schoolyear. =) Ahhh, the perks of having older friends. And older sisters-- Renee just moved into her kickass apartment and she's turning 21 in a month. The first day of school was hilarious. Chuck rode me, krista, and stace into school. Let's just say: hahahaha. Senior year is crazy. I feel old, something I've never known before. My classes are all awesome. During the beginning of high school, I would go into class and only know like one or two people. But this year, I'm familiar with almost everyone in my classes. Everyone seems more friendly this year. Maybe, everyone has just learned to grow up and not be so terrible to eachother anymore. Some of us anyhow.I think it's gonna be a sweet year. The only homework I've been getting is in Calculus. I have this Indian teacher who pronounces 'third' as 'turd' (and my immaturity cannot handle it). Tennis season rocks. I love the people. I'm playing fourth singles on varsity. I can't complain. --- Freaking good first weekend. Here's the play-by-play. Friday: Tennis. Chilled at Noob's with Stace and Tuesday. Picked up some stuff from Williams. Met up with Bill. Went to the Alderson's. Gave Rache's ferret a little experience. Laughed a whole lot. Choked on some chips. Drove to Katies rocking out to John Lennon- Give peace a chance? Passed out at her house. Saturday: Chilled at Katies. Worked the lacrosse booth at Community Day. No one was coming to ours. So I put up a sign 'Fortune Telling: 50 cents.' I started bringing in the money with my mad skills of palm reading. Chilled at home. Watched 'The Jacket.' Soooo good. Got picked up by a random car full of Liz, Phil, Williams, and Tom. Drove around and yelled stuff at people. Picked up some runaway clothing. Chilled at Phils. It was a real good time. Those are some entertaining guys. I was laughing the whole time. Smoked vanilla cigars. Tom drove me home. Saturday Night: I had my first flying dream ever. I flapped my arms and I would just go all over the place. I didn't want to wake up. Sunday: Read the biography of Jimi Hendrix. Swam at Katies house. Picnic at South Park with my family. Listened to Lindsay tell jokes and my Grandma laugh. Covered my desk in 70's shroom wallpaper. I dig it. Worked on my painting. Did homework.
