School Insanity

Well, my grades have basically gone back to sucking. I need to start actually doing my homework, that might help just a little bit.

Today I have to spend basically all day doing a huge history project that is due on Friday. I have to teach for 20ish minutes about a subject that she gave me. Of course I am on the second day possible. I could be in May sometime, but no, of course not.

If I manage to finish that, or get enough done that I could finish tomorrow, I have to read about a hundred fifty pages in my English book to get completely caught up. But I think the project that is worth 400 points is slightly more important than reading Huck Finn.

In other news, I am so excited for tomorrow! I am going to Daughtry's concert with my friends! It is going to be soooo fun! I love Daughtry, it is great music. Yaaayy!

I also either randomly developed allergies, or (much more likely) I have a cold (again). It really sucks how often I get colds. I think the last one I got I had about a month ago, or maybe less. So, today I get to sit here, trying and failing to breath through my nose, suppressing coughs, sounding like a bulldog when I breath, and sound like a man when I talk because of my deepened voice. Joy.

Weekend of Insanity

This last weekend was by far the most crazy weekend I have had in a long time. I was planning to catch up on homework on Saturday, but I never expected to have absolutely no free time.

At 8:30, I had to get up for my ward's service project. We went to some old people's house in my ward and did a ton of yard work. Digging up superfluous grass and weeds out of flower-beds, mowing the lawn, etc. Even with all our like 15ish mia maids and 10ish teachers, plus all our leaders, it took most of the morning. After that we went back to one of the leader's house for chips and salsa. Then I went home and took a tiny break.

Then I remembered that I had to write a movie review for Journalism. I checked the paper, and found that the only show I could possibly go to started in about ten minutes. My dad took me to the movie. We barely made it on time. I am just glad there are previews for so long!

Then I had to go get my hair cut, and went straight from the person's house who did my hair to my friends house for her birthday party.

We were on a "cruise ship" and someone had stolen my friend's 2 million dollar necklace. We had all been given fake identities, and I was Gretel something-or-other. I was from Germany, I was 35, single, no kids, I was a mountain guide, and my talent was juggling. No, I cannot actually juggle. But after a long time trying to figure out who had stolen it, we found that it was another guy there, and he had hidden it in a pineapple.

Then we went to a stake dance that was by my friend's house, and it was pretty fun.

And that was pretty much a summary of my Saturday. Crazy, huh?

Spring break... Again.

Well, last week was spring break, if you couldn't figure that out by my last post. It was pretty awesome.

On Monday I went up to Ephriam during like the worst rainstorm of all time. We managed to get there in one piece, so we proceeded to my brothers' art show. They both had something in it. Shawn had a few colored pencil drawings of various creatures from horror movies and whatnot, and they were pretty awesome. He also had a video in. In the video, he danced around campus for 15 minutes. He danced around people, sometimes pretty close to them. It was pretty funny to watch them look at him, kind of laugh, and then try very very hard to ignore him, no matter what he was doing. His video won best in show, and he got $100 for it. Lucky!

Ryan also had in a video. His was very... Interesting. It was cool, but it grossed me out just a little bit. For 22 minutes he didn't blink, wipe his nose, or swallow. He just stared into the camera. Of course it was sped up, and it was kind of cool to watch all the people zooming by behind him, and him just sitting there, drooling, eyes watering, nose running, staring into the camera.

The next day I went up to my grandparent's house and my grandpa finally helped me finish the tree frog I have been making up there. Just for those of you who don't know my grandpa, he is an awesome woodworker. That is what we were making the frog out of. Maybe I will put a picture of it or something on here someday. If I remember.

On Wednesday, I hung out with my friends and watched Sky Dancers. I was Slam. He is one of the two guys on the show. Well, one of the two Sky Dancers anyway. Just don't ask.

On Thursday, I hung out with one of my friends that I haven't seen in years, but used to be my best friend. It was really fun.

On Friday I didn't do much. It was awesome.

On Saturday, I hung out with my friends again, and got gored by her bunny. Who knew bunnies both growled and got vicious when near their cages?

On Sunday, I went up to my grandparent's house again, to see them get set apart for their mission. They are going to Heber Valley Camp for their mission. It is a girls camp.

Then Spring Break was over. :.(

Spring Break

I am so tired. I have had a crazy week. I had a math test on Wednesday, a Chemistry test yesterday (I still need to go in and finish it), and I have a history test today. Bleh. This is so uncool. I have also gotten less and less sleep every night this week trying to catch up on homework, mostly for history. I did get to do some cool things, like interview my grandpa about WWII, and whatnot. But I would rather have gone and talked to him in person. I didn't have any time that I could go and someone could drive me there.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ready for spring break, you have no idea. I am not going anywhere (as usual) but I do have some plans with one of my friends that I literally haven't seen in years. We used to be like pretty much best friends, then she moved up to Elk Ridge, and I used to hang out with her more, but not this time. I don't think I have seen her since 7th or 8th grade. It is pretty awesome, and we have been making plans....

So, the thought of spring break is basically the only thing keeping me alive this week. One more day! :D

Insanity Times 20,058

So, my life is insane at the moment. One person should only have so much insanity in their lives at once.

For one, Chuck is insane. You ma y have heard me raving about it before. There is a reason. That reason is that it is the greatest and most addicting show on earth. And the season/series is starting to draw to a close. Needless to say, it is starting to get more and more crazy. Loose ends from even the first season are starting to be tied in new and shocking ways. At the moment one of my least favorite "good guys" has taken the real good girl because she unknowingly killed his wife in her red test (one of the tests to become a spy - the killing test). The Ring (the bad guys) showed him the video of that night, and he has pretty much gone crazy. The last episode showed her and him driving away, and she is like, "Where are we going?" And he is like, "To settle an old score." The episode ends with a shot of his hand on the steering wheel, wedding ring right on top. I just about died. I recommend this show to anyone.

Another intense thing is the most recent Maximum Ride book. I read the whole 300+ book in just over an hour. My favorite character randomly left at the end and I don't know if he is coming back. All I have to say is: He'd better.

Then I had to stay up super late doing homework, and it is still not completely done. I have no idea what I am going to do. My head just might explode right in the middle of Drivers Ed. That would be attractive.

I just hope I can make it these three more days. Then, blessed relief. Spring Break will be here. *sigh*

Youth Conference

So, I went to youth conference this weekend. It was way fun. First we met at the church after school on Friday and drove up to Aspen Grove. That place is nice! They had said it was like a hotel, but they have a habit of exaggerating to make us want to come. I was expecting like girl's camp-type cabins with maybe electricity and a group shower facility or something. But each room had a nice bathroom with hot water for the shower, heating, queen-sized beds, room keys and everything!

After we got there we had a couple hours of free time. I wasn't expecting this, it doesn't usually happen at these type of things. So I had nothing to do. I just sat and talked to my roommates, Annie Fitt and Kristen Wheelhouse. But whatever. Then we ate dinner and went to the game room. That place was awesome. It had two foosball tables, two air hockey tables (even though one was broken), three pool tables, and two ping pong tables. I never got the chance to play pool, but I played air hockey with Annie (she totally dominated, but only because she has one at her house and I don't) and foosball (I won most of the time) and extreme ping pong. You might think I mean like around the world or something, but I don't. Extreme ping pong is when it doesn't matter how many bounces there are, if it is off the table, off the walls, off the face, etc. You can always hit the ball. It is a very intense game. I recommend it to anyone who doesn't like normal ping pong, and even those who do.

After that we heard Brad Wilcox speak to us. It was pretty hilarious. Then we went to a dance. I tried to get my friend Nicole to dance with this guy, but she avoided dancing with anyone. The only person she danced with was her brother, Andy. I danced with a few people, but no one specifically worth mentioning. Let it only be said that I cannot dance. One of the guys I danced with was in ballroom, and I have never taken dance in my life. I kept tripping, stepping on his feet and almost killing myself. I didn't know the guy, but my dancing skills are pretty much a guarantee that I never will.

The next day I went snowshoeing and did a bunch of other things, then we packed up and went home. Later I went to the General Young Women's Broadcast, after which I went home and changed, then came back to the stake center where the boys served us a lovely dessert. After that there was a magician. They always make me feel like I am missing something huge.

The next day we went to Music and the Spoken Word. Pres. Monson was there, and it was pretty awesome. Then we had our own little youth sacrament meeting, where there was more than an hour of youth testimonies (they even went overtime) and it was really cool.

After that I went home and took a long nap.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors

Last weekend me and my brothers filmed a movie about an old video game called Zombies Ate My Neighbors. It is a pretty intense little 80's/90's video game that was apparently pretty high tech back then, but it is just a little ghetto for nowadays.

I am not entirely sure why my brothers decided to make a video about this game, but they did, and they bribed me by taking me to Nickel City and letting me play games, and also paying for laser tagging as well. Twice. And they also left me the Wii this week.

In the above picture, I am player right and my brother Shawn is player left. He even dyed his hair blonde and got some old 3D glasses. We also got air-soft guns and spray painted them blue and red. He made the outfits too. The only thing you can't see in the picture is the lovely red shorts (I wore red sweats since I didn't have red shorts) and the red anti-sign thing. You know, the one that is over a cigarette when you say no smoking, or no pets, or whatever. It is on the back of the purple jacket. Their names are Zeke and Julie.

So, for all of you that ditched out on us on Saturday, just so you know, we had to find something else to do for it. But don't worry, it should work even without you. We had other people willing to be zombies for us.

Well, the movie will be pretty amazing. I will post the link for it soon (We will put it on youtube) and you can watch it if you have five or so minutes. Have a wonderful day!
