so i think you’re going to have to wait for the weekend for the posts about the past weekend. sorry about that.

i have decided that i’m not going to post every day anymore. basically, i’m trying to get ready for college life by starting good habits (i actually make my bed now, it’s crazy). having “posting on my blog” on my priorities list isn’t very beneficial for me, so i’m chucking that. i’ll post often though, but only when i have something to say. but who knows, i might keep posting every day anyway : )

i’m almost done with my multi-lit project. i just have to do a rewrite/proofwrite of my critical lens essay, and do the “creative portion.” tomorrow i’m going to ask my teacher if making a website would be an acceptable project for this section, because i’m having problems thinking of something i can do for it that i’m actually good at.

ETA: LOLBOTS!

so my mom’s going to boston wednesday morning, which means i get to drive the car for the rest of the week. which reminds me, i need to get a parking permit. anyway, i’ll be driving to school and work, and then after work i swing by GWC to pick up liz from practice. so that’ll be cool.

as for the car stereo situation, i’ve given up. buying a stereo with a built in USB hub like the one i saw on ebay and the one at walmart ($89.95 and $116.98, respectively) is too much money for something i’ll use for three months and then will never see again when i go to college. the dad ixnayed the speakers set up i had, so it’s back to square one. square one being listening to the radio.

check out this cat macro my dad did. HILARIOUS.

oh, and did i mention that my opt-out form is nil? mrs. o’brien gave it to my gym teacher, and my gym teacher said she couldn’t do anything until the athletic director signed it. i went to see him and explained what was going on, and do you know what he said? “no way would i ever allow that.” turns out the old athletic director, who had allowed stuff like this before, retired at the end of last year. the new director is trying to eliminate the program completely, ergo i cannot opt out. but i’m not upset, i’m actually kind of glad. but this means i won’t be able to help out at the listening post like i hoped i’d be able to.

and today i hung out with kate (it’s been awhile). when i went to go pick her up from another person’s house, i forgot the house number that she had told me when i got on the street. so i drove around looking for a pay phone, and found one on the sidewalk in front of rite aid. so i got out of the car in the parking lot and ran across the snow-covered grass to the payphone. i’d like to mention at this point in the story that i had just taken a shower and my hair was wet, and i didn’t have a coat on, and i forgot to wear socks, and i was wearing pj pants (and not the flannel kind). and then i couldn’t remember kate’s cell phone number, so i called the wrong number once, but luckily it just said the number wasn’t in service. oh, did i mention that i was using a calling card number that requires me to enter 24 digits before it connects? believe it or not, this still doesn’t make me want to get a cell phone, i love when this happens. i’m not even being sarcastic. for realz.

oh, and i got to ring a gong at the japanese resturant we went to for liz’s birthday. it was awesome.

dear everyone that has sent me an email recently,
i am sorry that i haven’t written back. i always have time to check my email, but when it comes to actually answering them i never seem to have the time. the stress of college apps/essays last week were the main reason for that, but the increasing amount of homework isn’t helping either. so yeah, i apologize, i plan on reading and responding to them all by tuesday (hopefully).

this is also the reason i haven’t responded to your comments as quickly as i usually do. anyway, thank you for listening.

sincerely,
lanni.

whoa, totally forgot to post yesterday (it’s saturday). i’ll backdate this.

so yeah, nothing really special happened today. i didn’t have work, because the kids had half-days (sooo jealous). the highlight of my day though was phys ed because my group was missing many people, so we didn’t have to play continous kickball (read more about it in the archives). we instead got to play multiball again, which we dominated at, pro’ly because we played it last time. multiball is like the best gym game in existence. it may even be better than regular kickball (my former favorite gym game).

well, i got a job. kind of. i’ll be doing the after school program (asp) at brighton rec. once or twice a week. so that should be good. a minimum wage job for two hours once a week. i’m going to be rolling in the dough

(this is the same after school program that i went to as a kid, and i’m excited, i loved working this summer).

my mom and i made fourty bucks today moving furniture. it was supposed to take 5 minutes to move one loveseat down a flight of stairs. it turned out taking 2 hours to move two loveseats up a flight of stairs, a bed down a flight of stairs (which we had to take apart piece by piece: one mattress, one box spring, one day bed frame, and that slidey thing that goes underneath), and some other miscellaneous stuff.

and i mowed the lawn.

and i walked the dogs next-door (this is not a saturday thing though, it’s a tuesday thing that sometimes occurs on other days when required).

some current info. that you may want to know.

• i passed my econ test with a nice 84
• i may perhaps be allergic to ranch dressing
• i finished the mile in 12 minutes and some seconds
• i have a cold
• i think i actually finally figured out my lj
• i’m doing the tug-o-war again for the pep rally
• i already have season pass for “the office”
• i just now managed to cut my lip on a hair clip
• i have a crapload of homework to do this weekend
• i had a pretty good day

today
good: i had periods 6, 7, and 8 free today, so dine drove me plus michaela and debbie to wendy’s for lunch.
bad: i had a buttload of homework tonight. mostly law and government. ugh.

tomorrow
good: tomorrow is freshmen friday and i finally have made my senior girls shirt.
bad: tomorrow is my first economic test—that means 20 multiple choice, 10 short answer, and 2 essays in 45 minutes.

next thursday
good: office premire!
bad: it’s an even day.

so dinah and i are walking down the hallway…
dinah: man lan, they should have put a “best hair” category on the superlatives sheet.
and jay hamme walks past the crossing hallway…
jay hamme (has a jewfro): yeah, i know!

mkay, school starts tomorrow. i’ve come to terms with it, and i’m not as annoyed. goodbye summer, it was nice knowing you.

in other news, martz left today, curls got a new job (in syracuse), and i spent the day doing nothing important, like watching “the office” and working on my lj. which is pretty much all i did all summer anyways (with some slight variation). but i liked it. this was my last summer to slack off, and i think i did an excellent job.

my afternoons are pretty full these days. i have so much to do. think about school. work on my lj reboot. watch movies (like shaun of the dead, hilarious). attempt my t-shirt quilt. work on my other new project: a kool-aid jammers purse. et cetera.

this is all so exhausting, i need to go watch some episodes of the office on my ‘pod and drink a dp.
