Wait. So you're a senior now?
I know what you mean, that's how the school year always is.
Well, since most of our books were lost, sometimes I could fit my backpack on there. But other times, no.
What about the afternoons?
lol, that's weird. I'm not in any club. I mean, a club would be good for me... but is it in the club's best interest to have me?

I'm back after a long absense due to holidays. I finally went to my beloved Italy. Naples disappointed me, but Rome and Florence are lovely. You kinda lose yourself in Rome, it's monuments everywhere. The tour bus guide kept saying "look right, look left, look right, look left"... I quit following her instructions after a while, it was to exhaustive, always turning your neck. It's a wonderful, wonderful city. The thing is, Italy didn't have that impact on me I thought it would have. It's beautiful, yes, but.. I don't know, I guess I need more time on each city to actually grow to like, love it. Because nothing has replaced Salzburg yet. And I'm going back there for New Year's Eve, I believe (Salzburg) My dream of a Winter with snow in a city that looks like a Christmas postcard will finally come true. And lots of Apfel Strüdel.
I don't have that many thing to say, really. Just stopped by to make sure I wasn't leaving for good again, it was all a matter of holidays. I'm going away this weekend again, though I don't want to, but well

Ah holidays! You know, towards the end of mine, I wanted to start school... But I want my holidays back now. I mean, school is more interesting than it was before, and they're taking us to cool places like the book fair and the theater (this wednesday!) and stuff, but today's Sunday, and of course I haven't done any homework and of course it's all for tomorrow. So of course I want it to be holidays. And one of my friends is going on an exchange to Winnipeg (!!) and they start until September! So he can still have fun on Sunday afternoons without feeling guilty about procrastinating and having a lot of math and english homework and not doing it. Oh, and I think I have to read for history too... Besides, the english homework is bad, we have to change song lyrics to reflect American Culture, and no matter how much I complained about why didn't we study Ireland or Canada or New Zealand, we're doing the states. Mean people who make me do that. Like we don't live near the border, we need to study them.

If any teacher told me to do a project on Spanish Culture I would refuse to do it. I swear, I could get bad marks for it and make my overall mark go down a few points, but I'd refuse. I've seen enough of them and of their behaviour this weekend. I'm not generalizing, I'm just saying the ones I saw during my holidays (900) weren't my ideal of nice people. And it's amazing how they're hated in Italy and Portugal and still walk around like its none of their business, arrogant-like. I really didn't like that group. But of course, I've met seriously exceptional Spanish people... and I'm not saying my people is good too. In fact, we're worse when it comes to dumbness. Enough.
Lol. That's so true. But the joys of not having Math anymore! I don't do equations for what, two years and a half now ;D Equations were the only thing I liked in Maths. Functions was hell. Anyway, I hardly ever do my homework (the teachers hardly ever pass any) but last year they were all warning us that this year would be no joke (though they all say the same thing every year). But this time I do believe it's true. It's the last highschool year, we're.. I mean, I really have to work hard if I want to go to a decent place in university.
English homework was heaven to me. I did it in like, half an hour, and it was the only thing I enjoyed doing. Unfortunately, I won't have English anymore either.
SIRIUS IS EATING MY SIRIUS POSTER.

Meh, I have to do it. This is what we're studying in this IB thing, and I guess they'll tell me if I don't like it I could just go back to the normal program, but I couldn't. Not after what I've seen so far. I actuallylike school. I have some cool classes, and a lot of my friends are on it, and I'm taking art... how could I ever go back? I just couldn't, so I'll shut up and do my homework. Though I am also procrastinating today. Math's not bad. Well, I actually like school now, so I can't complain much. I still don't really like my classes being so long, but there's nothing I can do about it. Besides, me and my friends are starting to get along really weel with this group of guys... an actual group, you know? Not each of us having a lot of friends everywhere but no groups. So that's also nice. I still don't really like the school bus though.
THAT SOUNDED SOOO FUNNY!

But it wasn't funny at all I saved Sirius from Sirius's jaws in the nick of time. Thank... something.
I'm going away again this weekend, tomorrow actually. But this time, I really don't want to go. If I just could stay home, I would, but I don't think my parents would agree. Specially with Sirius around, I refuse to clean his dirt.
Anyway... I'm going to begin my driving lessons next week. Can't say I'm not nervous..
I lost all the will to type.

In the past 2 weeks I have learned the meaning of 'time flies.' It's like, tomorrow's Friday, but yesterday was only Monday! Something like that. And I haven't even done all my homework! I have done most of it, and I am only able to by doing things like reading on the bus because I prcrastinate too much. And I went to the theater yesterday, and I loved it. I should go again. Soon, I mean. ;D I can't wait til The Village comes out over here. Really, I hope it's tomorrow. But driving is fun!! Really! I like driving! Except sometimes when people are stupid and try to crash. And anyway, I like driving better than walking around the school dodging the cars. Of course, I'm probably the only stupid girl that walks when the cars are just about to move, but I'm in a hurry, and I run, so it's not like I'm getting run over. It's still more fun to drive, though. Holidays!

Time does fly. I start school in two and a half weeks. Summer's gone.
I have mixed feelings about school, this year. Senior year.
Good luck with your driving lessons Rita. I remember my first time driving wasn't that bad. It was with my Dad. I was terrified when I got the actual lessons though. Don't know why really.....
Hurrah for procrastination. I haven't procrastinated much recently but that could be because I don't have much to do. *rolls eyes*
I’m finally going to see The Village tomorrow. Well if I can convince my friends.....
I had a question to ask but it slipped my mind.
Au revoir.

That movie isn't even out here yet! I'm so mad, I wanna watch it like a crazy person and it's not out!
I was terrified my first time, also with my dad... lessons were alright, really, but the teacher was quite tired of when the course was over.
Yeah, that's probably why... I can't procrastinate much next week, I have to turn in a bunch of principal evaluations... I'm staying after school to work on group projects every day! And not even with the same people! I'm going to go mad because I have to write a comic book on the cold war for history, and I'm not good at drawing. I'm actually good at history though... I got myself a 100 on the quiz. Mean english teacher sent me to the corner again today.
ah, well, you can always ask later.
Adieu.

Yeah so I didn't get to see The Village. I guess it'll have to wait until next week.
I have a week and a half left of freedom.
Writing a comic book sounds like fun, even if it is about history.

*joins Sands*
I have a week and a half of freedom And my hopes of this year being good are going down the drain, since the subjects I cose aren't available unless I change class or change school... or change my choices, but I'm not going to do that. I'm going there today to see what can be done. The thing is that I don't want to spend a whole year with subjects I don't like. They didn't have English, I chose Sociology. They don't have Sociology - I don't know what to do. We'll see.
At least I found some course that interests me - Oriental Studies, focused on Japanese and Chinese history, culture, society, everything. It sounded really appealing to me, though I don't know exactly what I would do with such a thing. Plus, once it's finished, you're obliged to take 2 semesters in either Japan or China, and I don't have the stomach for that. I'm gonna keep looking for more courses though.
Lunch time.

Hey guys! Can I join you?
I have less than a month to go and I still haven't finished these 2 projects I have to do. I'm gonna go mad I swear!
Oriental Studies seem interesting Rita. Too bad we don't have anything like that here. Just those old boring subjects. My younger brother is starting a new school this year, and on Thursday they have lessons till 12:00PM, then until 3:00PM they have extracurricular activities. I wish we had stuff like that here. The only good stuff we had were Literature, Music and Art. Literature sucked, because we were always writing, and learning stuff like those old old boring storied. During music we were always doing the stuff about Mozart, and Beethoven, and we actually had to do a project! I liked art best. My and a couple of friends used to stay on a table, draw and talk during the whole double lesson. Yeah, it was fun.

I like my art class. I really, really do. But it tends to put me into identity crisis mode. It's just, I like it. I like art. I like to draw. I just can't do it. And I get extremely frustrated. Oh well. C'est la Vie And I barely have any homework for tomorrow. ;D Which is good. Of course, I have 2 exams, but english is easy, and math is... math. It's not hard, and as long as I do the lab I should be more than fine. Boring subjects suck... You know, I was online yesterday until 10:30 or so doing my physics report with David, and the physics teacher didn't show up today... Isn't that bad? I mean, all that work for nothing!! Anyway... ;D

I joined Drama Club! ;D I'm really excited about it. I went to the first meeting last year with a friend for the Drama Club but it was totally unorganized there were probaly seven other people there and you could tell they were all sucks up and all we did was go through these little book lets saying what some plays were about because the teacher hadn't even decided on what play we were going to do. And it was already half-way through the school year! So me and my friend just didn't really come back after that but this year we've got a newer younger drama teacher who seems really cool and the club is alot bigger this year with like 40 kids or something like that. We're going to do all of these really fun things this year like go and see the play Dracula and go see this high school that specializes in performing arts play and we're going to do this fundraiser and we're going to have t-shirts an you can submit designs because the drama club is going to vote on hat our shirt is going to look like and it just sounds really fun and I can't wait till the next meeting. Of course that probally won't be for a while because of Hurricnae Frances and last time school was closed for like a week and that was only for Hurricane Charlie and this one is going to be alot worse so I'm not sure for when the next meeting will actually happen.
