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!

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!

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.

Yet Another (almost) Average Tuesaday
Note that I put almost in parenthesis in the title. If it were just another average Tuesday, I wouldn't have anything to type about. But I do.
My Aunt Sue is willing to let me have her daughter's (AKA cousin's for me) flute if I want it. And yessire! I sure do! It basically has the same fingerings as an oboe, so that shouldn't be the difficult part. It will be the different mouth position. I forgot the fancy word for it. BRAIN FART! I've started a count down on my mini whiteboard in my locker and today is 11 days before I can have it. We are going to her house for my Grandpa's birthday, which is on December 12th.
Another interesting tidbit about my day is that the dance is in 3 DAYS! Including today. And the last day to buy a ticket is tomorrow. I still haven't gotten one yet. I can be very forgetful, especially on my way to the cafeteria. Did you know that the word "cafeteria" is Spanish for "dining hall"? Anyways, the theme of the dance is Candyland, like the board game. It should be super fun, and it's casual. That means that you should wear shorts and a t-shirt because it's really warm in the gym. So if you wore a dress, you would really stand out. Should I wear my casual sundress or shorts and a t-shirt? Please comment your answer. They made this really clear on the announcements;DO NOT BRING A DATE! So I'm not going to.
Last thing about my day worth telling; my friend Rashelle and I decorated my other friend's Aubrey's locker for her birthday tomorrow. And the teachers and even the principal didn't mind when they walked by. The principal (Mrs. Polzinski) just asked if we had a ride home, which we both did. The locker looked really great when we were done! Rashelle brought the wrapping paper and I brought the sign, bows, and tape. Luckily the wrapping paper had a sticky back so it was like contact paper. I'll take a picture tomorrow and post it so you can see how awesome it looks. At least, I'll try to.
So stay posted! This time, it hasn't taken me a month to post again. ;) that's a winking smiley face

I Have a lot to be Thankful For!
Okay, I'm starting on a clean slate. If I had posted tomorrow, then it would have been a month since my last post. But that's all in the past. Gone. Forever. But you can still read it if you want to.
I'm going to start out with one of the many things that I'm thankful for. And that is that I got accepted into the MYSO ensemble program! Only 100 people a season get accepted from all of the orchestras! I hope that I get into the string quartet I requested to be in. I turned in the sheet about a month earlier than the due date, so I have a pretty good chance of getting into the string quartet.
Another thing that I'm thankful for is Templeton Middle School. In my honest opinion, it's waaaay better than elementary school. The teachers don't treat you like babies anymore! I love all the classes I'm in except for Intro Computers, but it's only for a quarter. So that's good. One of the classes that's too easy for me is band. I'm playing 7th grade band material, and I'm working on oboe vibrato. Most people don't learn that until 8th grade! Mr. Neubauer, the band teacher, the expression on his face said that I'm pretty far on vibrato since I just started yesterday. But for most people, it takes years to learn.
I needed to go to another paragraph, but this is still about TMS (Templeton Middle School). I'm on high honor roll, have received a Principal's Pen Award, and am on the student council (TMSSC). So I'm very proud of my achievements! A Principal's Pen Award is an actual pen that the principal, not the assistant principal, hands out each quarter. Each teacher in the school can nominate two students each quarter, but a student can't be nominated another quarter. "We want to spread it around," Mr. Shurilla says. He's my science teacher.
I have a bazillion other things to be thankful for, but I would be typing all day if I typed them all. But maybe in my other posts I can say what I'm thankful for, so I you can hear other interesting stuff about me. And I promise that giant break in posts will not happen again.

I'm Sorry I've Been Slacking
I really love my blog and all, it's just that I keep putting it off. Not that anybody that I don't know reads this, but I know that my readers need a piece of my life to stay connected. Sorry!
On Saturday, my best friend (Cassidy) finally came down from Oshkosh/Appleton to sleepover. We carved pumpkins, took 2 long walks, made and ate pizzas, stayed up late and talked, and watched Harry Potter 5, aka the Order of the Phoenix. It was one of the best days I have ever had in my life! When it was about 6:00 pm we met Sonny Ciardo on the corner of Trapp Trail and Clover Drive, and he actually came! When we were about to head home, he turned around and said something (I can't remeber what) and looked right at me. So I flung my moccasin at him! And it hit him square in the chest! He fell down like someone had shot him with an arrow. Cassidy and I both fell down laughing. It was aboslutely hirlarious!
What else happened this past week... Oh yeah! Nothing at all. At least tomorrow is crazy sock day at school. I can't wait because I have several pairs of crazy knee-high socks! Whoopee! I'll try to remeber to post tomorrow to tell you how it goes. And if I even remeber to wear crazy socks at all.
I promise that I will try to post more. *crosses toes*
