Am I Always Doing Everything Wrong?

  "You should have left the Christmas tree out for a day and then have straightened it out."
  "No, your finger goes here on the fingerboard (on the violin)."
  "Didn't you memorize the lines for the play?"
  "Now you ruined it! I have to start all over again!"
  "You should have gotten the DayQuil, not the NiQuil."
  "It looks like someone walked up to it and puked on it! I hate it!"
  "Why don't you just do it my way? It's way better than your stupid idea."
  "WHY DON'T YOU EVER LISTEN TO ME?"

A Kind of Average Thursday

   Today has been in between average and a little special. But luckily, I still have something to type about. I haven't gotten any comments from anyone in awhile, but I need your feedback! Please comment!
    Thursday is the day that I usually have drama club after school, but I skipped it. The drama teacher (I won't mention who because that would be mean) is horrible! All we do are warm ups and games. We need to actually do some acting! We were working on a script earlier in the year, but I bet that she threw them out. And that's basically all that we worked on for the first 5 weeks! So I'm going to have one of my best friends (Krystal Fedie) tell the drama teacher that I have officially quit. I've had enough of this crap!
    A good thing about today is that we have our 6th grade band concert tonight. We had a an hour and a half long rehearsal yesterday in the band room that was 75 degrees. Waaay too warm for most people's liking, like me. My lips were so sore that it hurt to talk after, but I did anyways. By the way, if you haven't read my profile, I'm the first oboe in our band. We have five total, and the person in last chair (Isabella, not Polaske) has just started this year. Our band is pretty average, but we have a LOT of room for improvement.
   For the flute countdown, today is day four! If you don't know what that is, read the post titled "Yet Another (almost) Average Tuesday." It'll tell you all about it. Tune in soon to read my next post!

End of Line.

The Inbetween Friday

  I've got some bad news and some good news. More good than bad today, so that's good. :) At least it was a Friday.
   So I just got home from the dance. I just took my shoes off and got a glass (not a plastic) of juice and settled down to type. But it was pretty fun! People watching is pretty entertaining! You can learn a lot, like this juicy tidbit; Vaughn (my immature and highly annoying still yet popular cousin) got hugged by a GIRL! You'd think that having a popular cousin would have benefits, but almost no one knows that we're cousins because we look exactly the opposite, except for that we're taller than most people our age and we're both 11. But anyways, it's official. Vaughn is going out with a girl and I have no idea what her name is.
  Another thing about the dance; if you've ever been to a Girl Scout father-daughter dance, you have the basic idea of what this dance was like. Except there was no dads, the refreshments cost money, and the music was louder. But I actually danced! I just copied what everyone else did, and they were dancing, so I was too. My feet still hurt! I wore my aqua green low top Converse.
   On to the bad news; all the wrapping paper and bows got ripped off my friend's locker! So now it's just like all of the other ones. *dramatic sigh* We worked so hard on that locker! And now it just looks like all of the other grey and boring lockers. So much for posting a picture. I should've right after we finished! Good things don't last very long unless it's an unbreakable marriage, huh?
   So like I told you, I had mostly good and some bad news to tell. I hope that tomorrow will shape up because my friend Aubrey and I are making a Yule Log Cake for her french class. I hope it tastes good!

End of Line.

Lots and Lots of Bad News :(

   If you read the title of this post, you will have a pretty good idea of what is happening currently in my life. I'll go from okay to horrible.
   Remember when I said that I would post a picture of my friend's locker because we decorated it? If you don't, then you should read my last post. But I won't post a picture because the whole top half fell off! All of the pink wrapping paper, bows and "Happy Birthday" sign just vanished. Gone! Like it never existed! And we have no idea where it could have gone. We checked almost all of the garbage cans in the hallway. The only part left is the bottom half of the locker. That looks like it was never even touched.
   Next on the bad news agenda, I stayed home from school today. At least I could get my homework done, thanks to our student resources page, aka Moodle. I have to do a journal page for literacy and a worksheet for math. And I have a test tomorrow in math! It covers all of chapter three, which includes "everything with two-step equations," "solving for x" and "applying geometric formulas to find the area and perimeter of a figure." At least I tried to study.
   Last and certainly the worst, the house that's across the street got burned on Tuesday. Bad. The whole roof and garage door roof caved in! Nobody is sure how it started, but the fire trucks got there at about 3 o'clock in the morning and stayed until 7 o'clock. Most of the basement and main floor is fine, but the second floor and attic is completely trashed.On the left side (looking from the street), the peak is see-through because the siding burned off, and most of the back of the house is black and falling off. Luckily, they (the two grandparents that used to live there) got out safely. Now they are staying at one of their son's house. I really hope that they can move back into their house. We'll all be praying for them.
    On the last good note, the Candyland dance is tomorrow! I'll try to remember to try to update you tomorrow or Saturday to say how it goes.

End of Line.
