You know, I was SO happy when the coach let me swim with the girls.  And I had fun at practice today.  Afterwards, though, I had to work, then go to international club.  I JUST got back home, and I feel like crap.  I kinda enjoyed dinner with Austin, Lindsey, Kirby, and Caitlin, but when they were going somewhere afterwards, I just made an excuse ( Read more... )

Okay...  Where do I start?    A lot has happened in the past week ( Read more... )

OMG, I GOT MY IB DIPLOMA!!!!  :D:D:D  I totally thought I wouldn't get it, especially since it's so late.  But I got it, AND I'm getting tons of credit from all of my scores!  :D  Visual arts minor, here I come!

Yay photobar!  :D

My roommate is feeling much better this morning, though he is kinda quiet.  Well, off to celebrate my dad's birthday!

EDIT: Awww poop.  It didn't work.  :(  Well, you can visit me at ph.otogra.ph/er/maeniel

So I come to my dorm and my friends are here, and we're having a good (if slightly boring) time.  Then suddenly my roommate and his friends get back, and three of the five are drunk.  So my friends leave (one wanted to, and I told the other two not to feel obligated to stay and that I'd be fine.  I knew they probably felt awkward.) and my roommate ( Read more... )

In every class, I've been waiting until the first day of class before I buy supplies.  In the past, I've bought like, 14 notebooks and only used 2, so I'm a little more careful now.  Unfortunately, this meant that I had to take notes in Chemistry using an entire post-it pad.  D:  Post-it notes are awesome.  Post-it chemistry isn't quite as awesome ( Read more... )

Today was the first day of classes.  All of my teachers are crazy--but fun!  They're like Crafty crazy.  My art teacher kept the class in near-total darkness and took pictures of us for attendance.  She wants us to collect junk to use in our projects--she caught a cicada she thought was dead, and it started buzzing around inside the bag later on.  ( Read more... )

So today, we had this PlayFair thing, which was just one huge pep rally where you met a lot of people.  I absolutely LOVED it.  I also talked to the swim coach, and swimming should be instated for men in two weeks.  He also wants me to train with the women to motivate them ( Read more... )

Well, I was going to start off tonight's ramble about how I've met a lot of people, but I haven't really made good friends with anybody.  Several times today, I caught myself walking alone to wherever I needed to be; looking around, I'd always see people at least paired up.  My roommate already has a bunch of friends, but I think they're mostly ( Read more... )

Well, my move in was awesome!  I met my roommate and his family, and he and his family really like mine.  He's pretty nice, but I think we spent a bit too much time together cos at the end of the day he was trying to hang out with other people.  I met the other guys in the unit, and they all seem pretty cool.  I'm certain that two other guys are ( Read more... )
