I've been looking at plane tickets online for when (not if) I go back to Germany next summer. I was looking before and it was like like $1,200 for the trip I wanted to make. But now I'm planning on doing Health and Driver's Ed. over the sumer, so I will be able to go at the end of August. So I said probably from August 20ish to September 3ish and ( Read more... )

I really like extended weekends. I just started to do gaypush today. Well I plan to. So I've been enjoying sitting around without feeling guilty. And also - driving is very fun. Inspired by Kristen's last entry, today my dad took me to Mendon Ponds to drive. Would've been fine if there hadn't been a CROSS COUNTRY MEET at 10:30 this sunday morning. ( Read more... )

"I think it's important to bring somebody from outside the system, the judicial system, somebody that hasn't been on the bench and, therefore, there's not a lot of opinions for people to look at." -George W. Bush, on the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, Washington, D.C., October 4, 2005

Woo! Isn't he great?
Anyway, I took my permit ( Read more... )

"I can't say goodbye forever, but I'll say goodbye for now."

I can't believe they are actually gone. I also can't wait to get my pictures back. Laura left me a birthday present (my first beside that really expensive new flute...)! It was a mug with writing that translates: "For you the sun should always shine." And the really good German gummi ( Read more... )

They leave tomorrow. And then my life goes "back to normal." Except this will never happen again and was the coolest thing that has ever happened to me. Before Laura arrived I was doubting that I really wanted to save all that money to go back to Germany. But now I know for sure I will be going back. I think exchanges were created for those sick ( Read more... )

So I just got home from stage band and ate dinner with my family. I personally do not like a lot of pasta and I don't like to eat that much anyway. But my bowl was full so when I didn't eat all of it, and put it on the counter, my mother seriously yelled at me. And then she wouldn't let me have a Bite Size candy bar. And my dad and brother joined ( Read more... )

So. When Laura got here, she gave me a cd with all the pictures she took while I was in Germany staying with her. And I of course uploaded them on to my computer because I love them all. Today we didn't have to go to school, besides first block, and we went to the Eastman house and the Rochester Museum and Science Center instead. I also had an eye ( Read more... )

So. Monday, the Germans arrived. I was going to bring my camera to the airport. But I forgot. I don't think I would've been able to take pictures, though, because it was crazy when they walked through the glass doors. Everyone just jumbled and it was so good to see them all again. It's weird getting used to having them here all the time. But it's ( Read more... )
