My pen pal Amanda and I just got off the phone. We talk a lot, but I talk to a lot of my pen pals lately. She read me her poems from when she was around thirteen. She says she hasn't let anyone read them in about five years, so I feel special. Heh. :) Some of them were pretty good ( Read more... )

STRESS!Tonight I have to revise my research outline, create a works cited page, finish my bib-cards, scan and copy some pages from the novel about which I researched, and I have to scrounge up $2 from the change in my room for tomorrow's pizza party ( Read more... )

The season finale of Gilmore Girls is tonight. It feels weird, because next year I can't watch the show with my mom because I'll be at college ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is awards day at school. That means I have to wear my cap and gown to school. I also have to wear the shoes I altered to where they fit the idiotic rules for what we can wear with our gowns.

I got a really cool phone call last night, and then wrote letters until about 2:00 AM. I also wrote a couple of them this morning. Letters shall be mailed tomorrow, methinks ( Read more... )

Today, we're going to my grandma's house. That should be good, I hope. My grandpa called and had me look up a phone number of a friend or relative (not sure which) from Massachusetts. I have a whole part of my family there who I've never met. I've only even talked to two of them. My parents and I were going to visit them for a week this summer, but ( Read more... )
