Hey Audra, Well your badminton game was fun! I hope you liked my signs:). It's strange to think that as a child I hated using Sharpies, but now I can actually draw fairly decently in them. It’s a lot easier writing to you than to a diary…so I’m glad we’re doing this…haha. I guess it’s a lot easier than writing long notes by hand (and makes teachers less mad). Sorry you had to run at badminton yesterday…well you won today. Well it’s their problem that they didn’t come to the game I guess (they probably didn’t have anything better to do because Diego was sleeping…oh well). I hope that there is some descent movie playing on Saturday. You have to remind me again to call them tomorrow (Friday). Thanks for reminding me today to call tomorrow…but I don’t think I’ll remember between now and then. I did put it in my agenda book though. Oh, btw…I have a funny story to tell you. Last night Trevor called (and we had a totally lame conversation like the last few times). But it was kinda funny though because I asked him about Kate (just to make small talk of course). I wanted to know if he’d seen her since they started school (cuz she goes to NAU), and he’s like “Why do you want to know? What are you trying to get at?”…it was just kinda funny because I don’t think he gets it that I’m now over him. Oh well…he can keep being jealous of Diego for all I care (which is also pretty funny). I talked to your brother today. He seems okay now (so I guess he fared okay yesterday). He wanted me to make a “badminton groupie” sign. He’s funny. I didn’t know he is in cross-country. I’m sorry about your dad. I don’t really know what to do either. Just keep doing what you’ve been doing for the past 17 years (ignoring him). I guess you can’t just ignore problems though…I’m sorry. :( It’s kinda annoying that this site is so hard to bring up. I hope that you get a chance to respond to this (maybe while you're at teen lifeline tomorow). Oh well…I guess we’ll just have to figure it out. I have a HUGE Chemistry test tomorrow. I think I might die before then. Mr. Brandt didn’t teach us about Hydrolysis and Electrolysis (except the one example of Electrolysis that he gave today, which actually didn’t help), but it’s going to be on the test anyway. Pretty much the test is ALL chemical reactions…like every kind possible. It was funny though, cuz Matt thought that he knew about Hydrolysis, so I walked with him to his 4th hour so he could explain it to me, but then it turned out that he didn’t even get the concept. I ended up figuring it out and explaining it to him.(I thought you might find that funny too.) I’m glad you got into a “good group” in English (btw you’re in English IV not III…haha). Does that mean that W*** is in it? He’s funny. And then you get to go right from English to Spanish and see Stephen. (La la la la la la Bomba…haha). We really should have done that thing in the parking lot today. That would have been funny…I would have liked to see his reaction. It’s kinda strange that you guys have now become friends, and I pretty much only say ‘hi’ to him like once a week. He’s probably going to think that you like him since now I don’t since you call him at least once a week because of Spanish. It’s kinda funny that there is only one guy left that I like. I must be picky. Is that bad? I hope your sisters like the water bottles, cuz I sure don’t…haha (and I know you just LOVE those BEAUTIFUL water bottles…:) ) Well this is getting quite long (you were right that it probably would be…hehe), and I should really study Chemistry. I’ll see you soon! ~Sarah (P.S. You better start thinking of this “plan” because I am fresh out of ideas)
