Hey everybody! I am going to be out of town this weekend because I am going to Fresno for a wedding reception. It was my cousin who gat married. I will be back on Sunday or Monday. Just wanted to inform you bloggers and other viewers.
I have some more fantastic news. I just found out that some family friends from Denmark are spending 3 weeks living in my house. My old babysitter from when I was a baby is returning to sunny Southern California on vacation. It will be fun, and I want to learn about life over there. My father said she used to love rollercoasters, so I hope we make a few trips to Six Flags while she is here. She is married and has a 6 year old son who will be turning 7 while he is over here, and he said the only thing he was for his birthday is pizza. That is a good thing, we have 7 or more places to choose from where I live. We'll have to share my room, but thats ok.
GMAS!

Thursday.
Not really much to say. I'll just describe today with you. Hope you viewers out there don't mind.
5:25- my usual starting time. Nowadays, I always wake up before my alarm sounds. I don't know how I do it, I wake up 5-10 minutes before the buzzer goes off. I think it is because I hate the sound of that buzzer on my alarm clock so damn much, I think my body clock adapted for 5 days of the week.
5:35- Got out of bed, immediately noticed how hungry I was, and had a typical breakfast of toast with butter and garlic salt on top (Po' boy's garlic bread) and an orange. I wish I had something more, but there was nothing interesting to eat in the pantry.
6:oh- Hopped in the shower, I always shower in the morning and at night so I don't get my sheets dirty and so my hair looks good in the morning. I wish I could find my comb, though.
6:35- clothes on and ready to go. Watching an episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus before I go out to school.
6:45- In the car going to school. It is really cold and the but-warmers in my moms seats are kicking in. Bless you whoever thought of that invention.
7:00- 0 period starts. Spanish class. We did some more crap that I already know. Identifying when to use ser or estar. How or feel or where you are, be sure to use the verb estar. Also did other stuff that relates to health. Estoy enfermo= I am sick.
7:50- Spanish class out. I went to the outdoor stage thingy, sat on the bench and read for a while, then went to Mr. Pickett's class.
8:40- Mr. Pickett's class starts. A girl in my class explained before class how she is on house arrest for getting drunk and hitting a cop. She is only allowed at home or at school, and even has the ankle thingy. Well, that is Agoura for you. We had a lecture about WWII and discussed the atomic bomb, Japanese internment camps, the holocaust, turning points in the war (ex. El Alamein, Iwo Jima) and the devastation the atomic bomb caused. It turns out the atomic bomb at that point in time was not that powerful compared to the ones today. The ones dropped on Japan only had a 2-3 mile radius of total destruction. But the part that was bad about the bomb was the radioactive fallout that was flung into the air after it had exploded. Radiation from the bomb can still be detected in Japanese people today. I feel really bad about that, but if you look at America's options in historical context at that point in the war, it was a good idea to drop the atomic bombs in my opinion. Not only did we save an estimated 1 million American lives, but also up to 5 million Japanese lives because we chose not to invade Japan. My teacher told us that in schools, they were training 7 year old boys how to kill Americans if we were to invade. That would have been terrible. I know, I know, you may be saying something like, "well we shouldn't have dropped the atomic bomb," and what I have to say to that is the following: It would have been a freakin' disaster having to invade Japan (or otherwise). It would be like having another D-Day invasion. Our president had to pick the lesser of two evils.
10:20- Nutrition. Didn't really do much, had a bagel.
10:40- P.E., We played hockey today. In our first game on the first play, the puck was passed to me on the face-off and I scored a goal on my first shot. It wasa pretty sweet, and I was kindly cheered on by my team mates. That was really fun. We won that game 1-0, lost the next game in a shoot out, 2-1 and then we won our last game 3-0. Goooood times.
12:30 ish- Lunch. Had some vitamin water and pizza. Allen and I discussed Friday, we were going to stock up on Dr. Pepper, Cadbury Creme Eggs and some burgers from Carl's. Perhaps a movie rent from Blockbuster. But I have to tell you a story about this pervert we saw while going to stock up two weeks ago. The week before my friend was walking home, and he saw this guy sitting by a tree. He said something like hello, the meadow is beautiful isn't it? My friend replied with a yeah, I have to go. And the guy said to stay and talk with him in a perverse manner and then my friend walked away. The week after, we saw the same guy going to rite-aid. He was staring at me with a wry pedophile grin on his face, and after we passed him I looked back and he was staring at me. Creepy. The next time I walk by him and I see him "eye-molesting me" or something otherwise perverse, I am calling the cops for sexual harassment. This guy has issues, and probably has a thing for boys.
1:30 ish- I have home study, so my dad picked me up to go home. When I got home, I watched some college basketball which was nice. I just sat around for a while.
7:45- Had dinner of pork, bean and spanish rice burritos. Yum.
8:15- Writing this post on my blog. Also chatting with friends.
Well, that is my typical day. I must go do some homework now. Give me a shout!

No snow...
It diddin't snow like the weatherman said it would. It was not quite cold enough, about 37 or so degrees. It did hail very hard this morning though. I went outside and it was pretty big, a little bigger than the size of a pea. It lasted for about a quarter of an hour and it looked like it had snowed. Good enough for me.
Bad news, I got my mom sick with what I had during the week. I hope she feels better soon.
GMaS!

Flu. Yuck.
I got the flu yesterday. Today was one of, if not the most, crappy day of my life. It took my 5 mins. to get up the stars just to make this post. I havn't had anything to eat for over 2 days, I just can't keep it down. On top of that, I have a fever of around 102 farenheight. It lookslike I am missing another day of school... crap. Now I have to make up work. Oh well. I hope your day was much better than mine. GMAS

Back
I'm back from my non-blogging state, sorry folks. I was rather busy with school work. This week went smooth, and it rained a lot. I love the rain because it seems like every day is 85 degrees and rain is a nice welcomed change of pace. I would rather have extreme cold than extreme heat. Heat makes me dehydrated and gives me headaches.
I guess that's why I want to go to an art school outside the U.S. (U.K. in particular, where it is nice and cloudy). I looked at the berklee college of music in Boston and saw they have a huge recording school but only take in about 200 students for the recording school each year so it seems like a long shot for me to get in. It is based on merit, and now I have good grades so maybe I am not far off after all. We'll have to wait and see. I don't know of many colleges in the U.K., so feel free ,my fine blogers over across the pond, or anyone else, to give me suggestions.
And about the Rickenbacker, it is supposed to come in early to mid april. I can't wait.
GMAS!
