Super MEGA Exciting Update on MY Super MEGA Exciting Life

(Anna {Since Heather seems to have forgotten about this blog.})
Okay, so maybe my life isn't super MEGA exciting, maybe not even super. Okay so it's not exciting at all, so what? So here's my update:

1. We got yearbooks today
2. I mangaged to write not only one, but two meaningful messages in said yearbooks. one of which thanking my best friend for getting new shoes (long story)
3. I found out from the bubble quiz on 'What Color Are You?' that I am indeed Yellow.
4. Nick is at Cadets in case you haven't heard
5. We rearranged nicks room completely
6. Nick hasn't texted me for two days
7. We are moving all stuff from my room to Nick and Heather's room
8. Why Nick's room too? There's just not enough room in heather's room to hold both our stuff.
9. Heather is packing stuff up for collage
10. I'm the only one still in school
11. Heather graduauted early with Sarah
12. I took WEST Tests last week, at least i think it was last week
13. School field trip to Kenny Wood is next week. I'm with Soofia and Courtney, and some kid who I don't know

And that is my update. I want cookies.......

It's Called "Walking Fast"

I usually walk fast down the hall to get to class because I have two classes that couldn't be farther apart. So I'm walking quickly down the hall passing everyone who is going slower than a snail and all of a sudden Mrs. Frank appears! She likes to yell at us students, it like a hobby of hers. She once almost gave me a 2 minute lecture about the dangers of skipping down an empty hallway and how I might injure others.

She singled me out and pulled me out of the mass of 7th graders who were rushing away in fright. "What do you think you're doing?"

I could have pretended not to have any idea what she was talking about, but me being a good student decided to tell the truth.

"Walking fast."

"That was not walking fast! That was running as fast as you can!!!!!"

Apparently she's never seen me run, I go way faster than that. She went on and on about the dangers of running in the hall and how I can injure myself and others and when she was done I had a minute to go halfway across the building to my next class.

How did I make it in time?

I walked. Quickly.

Bert is Annoying Me

So I'm walking up the stairs and I see a piece of the ladder I had just made for my social studies project. My first thought was that someone threw my display down the stairs (sorry family, but you would do that in my mind.) When I looked down I did notice the ladder I had taken an hour to hot glue and cut together. I went into the room where I had left the display and saw only the ladder and the rabbit's foot missing (my project is on superstitions.) I had hung the rabbit's foot on the ladder. I went down the stairs to investigate (for the first time) and I see my ladder broken and the rabbit's foot was broken to pieces and covered with nothing other than cat slobber (it really was drenched, I'm using a hair dryer to dry it right now!) Bert comes up to me purring his life away thinking that nothing in the world is wrong and lays down beside me. He was the one who did it I know this because he's obsessed with rabbit's feet and Angel is scared of them. Now all I have to do is find the last piece of the rabbit's foot that wasn't with the others, find the chain that the rabbit's foot was hanging by, dry the foot which is taking FOREVER!!!!!! Oh did I mention that the rabbit's foot isn't even mine? It's my partner's (well my best friend's who I'm doing the project with's sister, but that isn't the point!) Maybe I should just get a new rabbit's foot and not tell her.........

An Update on my SUPER Exciting Life

This is an Update on my Super (not) Exciting (Still not) Life:

1.) My name is still Anna (if it's not then I've been putting the wrong name on all my papers)

9.) I'm 1st part/chair in both Jazz Band and Regular Band

School

Things I learned/ Noticed so far in 7th Grade:

1.) My science teacher is crazy
2.) Desks are unsanitary
3.) If you chew your tongue the teacher thinks your chewing gum (this happened to someone else)
4.) You go deaf for a while if the vice principal yells in your ear (this DID happen to me)
5.) The rule book says no knives that are under 3 1/2 inches are aloud at school (there's another rule saying no weapons, but I just thought that rule was funny)
6.) There's a typo in the rule book that's been there forever
7.) Band is loud
8.) If you're the only trombone in the class you get picked to solo a lot if your teacher also plays trombone
9.) Nouns are your friend
10.) There's a monster that runs around and steals your pencils
11.) If your smart you end up doing all the work in groups

And that's all I have learned so far (so things I relearned)

Okay.........

Tweedledum

Today I did something I never do, put in my contacts. My social studies teacher goes berserk when I wear them so I don't enjoy wearing them. That and the fact that they're really uncomfortable to put in.
Anyway, today during AA (the school claims it stands for Advisor/Advisee, but it really stands for Alcoholics Anonymous) the teacher had us play Quiet Ball. The game where nobody talks and the ball gets beemed at the people no one likes (luckily I'm not in that catogory.) When I got out (I didn't throw the ball far enough) this boy who is really annoying kept saying things like, "Anna, you look really rot without your glasses!", "Anna, will you marry me?", "Will you consider it?", "If I give you this mask will you marry me?" The mask was a mask he made in art, and it was really beat up and had holes. During all that time he was saying this I was ignoring him, because, well he's an idiot and he was said a bad word last week...... I don't think I'll wear my contacts again anythime soon.

Rain, rain, stay all day...

If you've read my mom's blog you know that we got off school today because of rain. We get out of school for everything. Snow, no snow, too cold, too hot, blocked parking lot, rain, if the superintendant is having a bad hair day, or even if they don't have enough subs. We get out a lot. Today when we woke up it was raining hard. Immediately, every student in the county's mind went to the same question "Is school cancelled yet?" There's a creek behind our school, and if the creek gets over the bridge, we can't have school. We went to seminary; when we came back it was still raining. In the parking lot at school, there was an alarminly small number of cars there. Today was Senior Skip Day. For those of you who don't know, this is a day when seniors skip. It is not sanctioned by the school. They announced it several times. Regardless, three pages of seniors were absent. We only had half our class in physics. In trig, we had mostly everyone. Our teacher was aware of the distraction, in the form of rain, that held the attention of the class. She told us to just accept that they would not cancel school and to just pay attention and learn our trig equations. Someone asked if they had ever made the student body stay after classes ended because they couldn't get out because of flooding. She laughed and said that they couldn't keep her, she was leaving. The interstate would have to close to keep her from getting home. Throughout the class, students that parking in the far back lot were called to move their cars. This has happened in years past. The bridge floods and no one can get out. Luckily, the seniors were gone, leaving their parking spots. Last year when this happened, some were not so lucky. They had to move their cars to the elementary school lot and ride a bus back to school. One kid's car actually started to float away. They didn't cancel school for that incident. Fifteen minutes before the end of second block, we were all starting to lose hope. They have to announce early dismissals before lunch. Then it came, the much anticipated announcement: Three hour early dismissal! Our trig teacher apologized for dashing our hopes. She was as excited as the rest of us. We went to lunch, and at the end of first lunch, the assistant principal announced that those who had cars could go ahead and leave. I found Nick, Sarah, and the two boys we take home and we were out of there. My feet did get wet though. I had to walk through three inches of water to get to the car. But, oh, it was worth it!
