Last Day!

You can't see it very well but that's a picture I drew in my algebra class. (Anyone else see a trend here?) It's of an igloo with a sign that says Mobile Unit 2 and then a picture of my teacher is in an eskimo outfit writing on the board with his warm breath creating steam in the crazy cold air. Feel free to applaud or send money.

Today was good and I'm glad that I haven't had a bad day yet. I'm always tired by 2:15 but, hey, I'd rather be tired and happy then unhappy and full of energy any day. Anyways, today after school Mariah drove us over to Caitlin's and we hung out with her and Savannah. We ate and did homework and listened to music and watched 17 Again. It was nice and girly and high schooly and what not. I also had fun playing with Cait's Mac. I really really would enjoy a Mac laptop. Birthday? Christmas? Think about it.



Wow, no more mandatory blogging. How weird. I'm half happy and yet there is a bitter tang to this. What will I read? (Saying this, knowing I forgot to take Caitlin's Sarah Dessen books home.) So, yall better post or I will just miss it waaayyyy too much.

Say Mariah, maybe we can go have some fun at that thrift store then pick up the books one day? Sounds great to me.

I'm tired-surprise surprise so I need to go do my devotionals and wash my face and then get some sleep! I love you all!

Obligatorily yours,
Mikaella

Beauty, Blogging

Those are just a few pictures I took this afternoon because the sun looked enchanting and glorious. I love nature :D


Speaking of pictures-I was thinking about how our BEDA endeavor ends in 2 days and how even when it does I'll probably want to blog anyway. It crossed my mind that maybe we could try something else. I was thinking something along the lines of only blogging when we want but each blog must have a correlating picture? Any other ideas? Hope so.

Uhm, so, today mostly some chillaxing and chick flick watching. Church tomorrow! Love you!

What could you do with a...

empty blog post and nothing in your head? I'll give you pictures!


Hey! Look! It's me! Today!



This is the fall play being performed at the high school that I get more and more excited about the more I read it. It seems really dynamic and fun. I have dibs on Brenda. She's a lady who works at the main character, Iuean's, work.It's the Documentation Department Office. She's very loud, and sarcastic, and she answers phones. Sounds magnificent. An example:

Brenda: Half of it is no dang good! I need the whole thing. What a moron. I don't care if you've only been there three days just fix it.

Brenda: (Without looking up) What?!? (Sees Iuean) Oh. Hi Iuean.

Magical,neh? I'd really like it. So, finger's crossed for auditions.


This little gem here is something I drew in algebra as I was out of my mind bored. It signifies how in that class 12 o'clock always seems to be late coming and always seems to be the most important thing to us. Getting out of there and getting lunch. So, I thought it was pretty and a good representation of our pain. Haha.

I meant to post this up last night but was so knackered by 11 that I just had to cave in. I feel so old.

Today I woke up and cleaned some and now I'm just lazily doing homework and reading and stuff. Fun fun. It really is lovely to be able to relax. Like really.



Added Bonus! Pig auditions are Sept 2 from 2:30-5. Yikes!

Joy, I has it

Today was a pretty great day! I'm not sure why; maybe because we did more in classes. Or it could be because I got good sleep or liked my hair or that the moons were aligned! For whatever reason, I was in a good mood and it just made everything better. :D

We did our dance things in theatre and though I am not extremely great, I did have an extremely great time. I really love that class and spending time with people in there. Bethany and Lole are both quiet but both fun to be around. Also it's nice to mingle with some older people just so I don't feel like the plague. I know how uncool I am, and I probably will stay that way, but hey, that's not because I'm a freshman. That's just me. Haha, and I'll probably always be a spazz in there because it's right after lunch and I am like literally buzzing with energy.

Some random teacher lady told me she liked my hair today as we were walking out. That was nice. Not nice enough to overcome the death that is walking with a heavy bookbag down to the parking lot and getting into the steaming hot car that I seriously think may kill me one day. It just zaps all your energy, like-KASHAM! I'm glad I didn't nap this afternoon though so right now I'm still moderately tired and I'll be able to go to bed at a reasonable time.

School really has stuck me in schedule mode. For the most part I like it and I'm like, "Thanks brain for working that out for me so that I get everything done. I would pat you on the back if you weren't in my head." but I'm also like, "Wow, my life is one dull routine of this, then that, then do that other thing. What am I living for?" Then I remember my awesome friends and family and the cool stuff I do in my down time-so no worries.

Pray for a friend of mine going through a real transition in her life. That's all I have for now. Love ya!

Corie, Barefoot in the Park -"You will not go to sleep. You will stay here and fight for our marriage!"

-whispers- "I have opinions."

Today in Theatre we had to do a name learning actvity where we had to say our name then make up a little dance move. Then everyone else had to say our name and do our little dance move.We went around the circle and added people on and did all their moves and stuff.

This one guy, who I believe is called Donelle, but likes Jay better, tried to get us to do this one move and I think it's called the jerk. If you watch the video it's the part where it looks like they are skipping backwards. It looks cool and like Chessa can do it and she's extremely white but she is also a dancer and extremely great at everything. I attempted it, and had a bit of fail going on. Haha.

Chessa did the train ( it's like, you take your arms and bend them by your sides and then move your arms and body in a sort of circle as to signify the movement of a train. Yeah, I know, you've seen it done or done it yourself before.) with her name and this guy Daniel has fun with that. Making it far more sexual than necessary. I have the feeling he will continue with that sort of humor.

But by and large (what does that even mean?), I love theatre because even though it isn't going to be all about goofing off it is very free and open and we can spread our wings a bit.

Also, recently after starting school, and hey, most of my life, I've dealt with/been under authority figures. One little piece of advice that I cannot stress enough is that if you expect respect you must reflect respect! (Say it, 5x fast, c'mon, you know you want to.) If you come in ripping and roaring and telling the people under you exactly what they are going to do because you said so, half the people there will either roll they're eyes, make that little pft noise, or start to despise you-if not openly, or out loud, in their heads at least. You need to show them that even though they are under you and you have a small amount of control over their lives that doesn't make them less important, or less of a person.

Also, teachers, parents, principles, and others who are in charge of pupils/ or anyone in charge of people younger than you: Most of us should or do know we are not as smart as you! (There is an occasional exception but even if you have a person with an amazing IQ they are probably not as smart when it comes to- common sense, life lesson, and life experience. And of course those kids who do believe they know everything, but that is quickly dis-proven.) There is no need to enforce this idea. We know. BUT, you shouldn't hold it against us that we are young, that we don't know everything, that we may not have that much common sense, and we don't have an abundance of experience. "Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe."1 Timonthy 4: 12

So, we may need discipline, we may need pointers, but in no way are we not people, or not important, or unintelligent. Just so you know.

Well then, high school.

The reason I got up this morning was because I couldn't get my text messages unless I disabled my alarm. So I was awoken at 5:30 on the dot and got up and pulled on my robe and got some coffee and then started to get ready. Mariah came into the bathroom while I was washing my face with my "Wake Up" playlist on speakers. "I'm a high schooler." I think I said, or something like that. "Yep." or "I know." she said.

I like listening to music because it really does wake me up. It was good this morning because my dad had turned on the hall and living room and kitchen lights so it seemed like day time. Sometimes when I wake up and haven't gotten enough sleep my stomach quivers like I might just throw up. I had none of that this morning. Hopefully I will be able to get enough sleep to where I don't have to deal with that.

I was done getting all ready around 6:30 and spent the rest of time on the computer. I got a Farmville. (Don't judge.) So I messed around with that a bit for the fun of it. We headed out around 6:45, which we should do every morning and got there early enough for me to mill around with some other freshies.

I don't feel like a freshman. I don't feel like anything really.

Anyways,
Homeroom: Deal
Mrs/Ms. Deal seemed nice and she was a pretty lady. A nice voice and not abrasive. It was death quiet in there part tiredness and part first week no talk-ism. She handed out things to be signed and helped people out who needed to know how to get to classes they weren't sure about the location of. So, nice. I knew most people in there.
First period: Andersen
Mrs. Andersen teaches Honors World History. She seems a bit eccentric and is a very hyperish person. She reminds me of Mrs. Hardin, the Bible teacher. She divided the room where girls were on one side and boys were on the other to make an example of how women used to not have equal rights. She also passed out papers and such to them first. Overall I think I'll like her but I also think I'll find myself rolling my eyes at her antics and ways of doing things.It's also really cold in her room.
Second period: Hubbared
Mr.Hubbared was not there today for my P.E. class so we got the spiel from a man who I can only remember as Mr.VK. I figured out that I know a few people in my class and I get to have Health first. I am relived at this because it means I can experience P.E. after it gets a little chillier. I don't like health or p.e. Bleh.
Third Period: Karrants
Mr.Karrants in Eeyore. He said so himself. He is my algebra teacher. If that man has emotions I sure can't find them. He never smiles and his smilie faces are circles with dots and a straight line. He has a very dry sense of humor. He says he isn't a great teacher. He talked about himself the most out of all my teachers. He said he started off as an engineer because that's what a test told him to do but he didn't really like it. Then he became a teacher, he doesn't really like that either. I have a feeling I may struggle in that class as it takes people who are interested in what they teach to make me interested in what they teach. It's cold in that class too, and he talks to quiet, and I think it might be haunted because today the power cut out two times and then came back on. For the most boring teacher I think I may ever have, he sure is interesting.
Fourth period: Rasslert
I kind of feel inclined to call her "The Rasst" I wonder if she'd mind. Fourth period is by far my favorite class of the day and will probably continue to be so. My classmates seem like an interesting mix and I have the class with Chessa,Christina, Lole, and Bethany. I also have it with a senior named Josie who Mariah knows. She looks like a 6th grader. =p At the beginning of the class we did a roll call thing where we stood up, said our name, and our favorite color. Then the class copied us, clapped, and we sat back down. (Mikaella, dark purple. Mikaella, dark purple. -clap-) Then we wrote in our journal/reflection thinger majig. We were supposed to write about the quote "Just say the lines and don't trip over the furniture." by Noel Coward. She was very open minded about what we could write. Or we could just draw pictures. It just had to somehow correlate to the quote. It was fun. Then we played 'get ta know ya' games.

After school I talked to Cody and Nick for a bit then I told Mariah about my day in the car. So it was a lot of the same with rules and things to be signed but it wasn't terrible. I hope for the best for tomorrow as well.
