it still doesn't feel like summer.

It's cold and rainy today and it feels like I should be doing homework (well, technically I should be; silly APUSH). But I'm not, because I am writing this post. And because it is cold and rainy, it doesn't feel like summer.

(Why is it that, if it's not unbearably hot in Curlyfryland, it's cold and grey and raining nonstop? Ugh. I would love a nice, sunny, pleasantly warm day that is supposed to occur between the months of April and June that we got maybe two or three of this year. :|)

Anyway.

Unlike Virgil and Momo and probably most of the other Curly Fries, I shall be staying solidly at home this summer. I would love to go to Europe or China*, but I don't think it's going to happen, which is unfortunate. So I'll get to enjoy more of Curlyfryland's bipolar weather (at least we're not getting tornadoes, which is definitely a plus). Whee.


I keep talking about the weather. This must be boring you. I shall stop.


Do you know how many days are left until HPDH part II? 35. THIRTY-FIVE DAYS. /flail.
I just watched the part II trailer yesterday (because a) I didn't know there was a separate trailer until a few weeks ago silly me; and b) I wanted to save the sudden spike of anticipation resulting from trailer-viewing for a later, more manageable date) and AHHHHHH. /flails some more.


I think that's pretty much it for today. Goodbye.

*So I got my Greencard stuff sorted out (finally; it's been ~six years), and so now I can go to other places with slightly less hassle. And my mother wants me to go to China to take etiquette lessons. (Well, I mean, there's the whole visit-the-relatives-and-go-sightseeing thing, but etiquette classes or whatever is what stuck out.) Gee, thanks, Mom. Glad you think that's a priority. >.>"

Are You Sure It's Summer?

Today is the last day of school for the elementary-middle school students. It seems as if it's been an eternity since our last final on Monday, but it still doesn't quite feel like summer.

 Yes, it's hot. 

Yes, it's unbearably muggy. 

Yes, I've eaten an unusual amount of ice cream. 

But no, it does not feel like summer yet. Odd. 

I'm sad. 

I was supposed to go to work with my daddy today. I was very excited. 

I packed some books (APUSH eeeewww) and laid out some clothes, set my alarm and went to bed.

Then, when I woke up at 8:45 this morning instead of 6:15, I became very upset.
Shortly after, my dad called home to see if I was awake. He said I was sleeping, so he didn't wake me up. 

My stupid alarm clock slows itself down and ends off being a few hours off by the time it's supposed to go off. Grrr.

So, the 6LCF have some new plans for this weekend. There's a cool parade where we live next Saturday. We're all going to Carrie's house and then we'll take the train to the parade. When that's over, we'll train back over to my house where we will hang out until it's dark and then play flash-light tag. 

Also, yesterday we QWOPed but Carrie wasn't there which sort of caused tension but it's all good now.

I'm trying to fit as many activities with other human beans into my day as possible before I go to Germanland. I want to have fun before I go to school again. 

Speaking of which! I don't know if I even formally explained my Germanland trip. On the 18th (a week and 2 days from today) I will be shipped off to Germanland to live with some friends for about 5 1/2 weeks. I'll go to school for a few of those weeks and then take a train up north for my uncle's 60th birthday party. I will probably still be able to post. I think. 

To everyone else: What are your plans for the summer (if any)? Don't say doing homework/studying. That doesn't count.

I can't wait until Saturday!!! Woot!

Love,

Momo

P.S. Have any of you looked through your old posts? I just looked at the ones from around this time last year. It is so weird to see how our style has/hasn't changed and reminisce on the olden days.
P. P. S. I just had an idea!!!! What if we each wrote letters to ourselves in the future and had them be posted on a certain day in the future? Yes, no?

First Day of Summer Vacation!!!

School's out!!! Our last final exam was yesterday afternoon (I DIED) but now we're all alive and we're FREEE!!! Summer has been quite nice so far. It has included pizza, frozen yogurt, and then more pizza. Today was the Latin Club picnic. I ate lots of pretzels. Yumm. But now I have a bit of a tummy ache. *sadface*

Oh, theme song time! 

La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! Virgil loves the summer, and pretzels too! That's Virgil's worrrlllddd!!! 

So yeah, summertime. Yippee! It's nice to have no homework, but I actually have a big long list of things that I want to get accomplished this summer. I shall share this list with you, since that's basically all that's on my mind right now.

Things Virgil Wants to Accomplish This Summer

1. Do summer reading for APUSH & English (this one's kind of obvious, but I figured it should be here)

2. Complete at least 3 (high-quality) projects for Convention 2012. 

3. Finish the book that I'm working on (which is like 1/4 of the way done at the moment).  

4. Get in-shape. RUN, VIRGIL, RUN!! (In the absence of ever taking gym again.)

5. Do the independent study Health course (because I don't have time for it in my schedule)

6. Go to Reading Camp & have lots of fun!! :)

7. GET PUMPED FOR HPDH2!!!

8. GO SEE HPDH2!!!

9. Repeat #8 as many times as deemed necessary.

10. Go to Kentucky & have lots of fun!! :)

11. Go to the UK & have lots of fun!! :)

12. Band camp yayyyy. 

So, uh, yeah. That's twelve things I have to accomplish. I think I'm going to try to accomplish a least three things each day this summer. So for example, my schedule for today looks like:

1. Host Latin Club picnic. (ACCOMPLISHED!!)

2. Practice flute. (NOT YET ACCOMPLISHED!!)

3. Go to flute lesson. (NOT YET ACCOMPLISHED!!) 

*sigh* you guys probably don't care about all these things I want to accomplish, but uh, I don't feel like coming up with anything different to post about. (That's why this post isn't listed as one of the accomplishments for the day.) 

I shall leave you with this wonderful graphic for your visual pleasure:

Eugepae!

Best wishes!

Virgil

SCHOOL. IS. OVER!!!!!

Today was the last day* of school!

YAY!!!!

Today was also the day of the math final >.< That was bad. It was also history final, but that's so easy, we'll just skip it, eh?

The math final started off with true and false which was okay, and then to formulas, and then to geometry questions. Last part was algebra. It took me 2 hours, and 40 minutes to do the whole final. Anyways, I was fine 'til the geometry part. That part was like mud. I slogged through it, and then I saw the algebra, and I was like, "LAND HO!!!" After that, I checked it over, but guess who's luck is horrible??? ME!

I'm checking through it, and then my phone rings. I usually have it on silent, but it's RINGING! So I go and jab at the phone through my backpack (cuz pulling it out would mean acknowledging that it's my phone ringing...) until it stops. Then, seconds later, it rings again. It does this, like, 10 times before it FINALLY stops. Oh my gosh, I was so worried that a proctor would come over and take my test and rip it into tiny shreds while screaming, "CHEATER!" ahh...nightmares we get sometimes...

So I don't have much to write about besides that I HAVE NOTHING TO DO! Like, there's no homework! That's just so cool! I HAVE NO HOMEWORK!!!!! 

Ooh, I forgot, I'm volunteering at our Botanical Garden, and I'm working in the Garden Store part of it. It kinda makes me feel awkward, cuz I like, think plants are pretty (the ones with the flowers), but have no idea what is what...and now I have the most un-plant-related job at the Botanical Garden, ever. Seriously though, it just kinda makes me feel bad. And then Virgil mentioned today that she felt that volunteering at a check-in station is not exactly giving back to the community...and I'm working at a check-out station...so...yeah. Hmm. Well, someone has to work there, and it might as well be me! :)

I changed the cursor to sunglasses...you know, for the upcoming sunny days of SUMMER BREAK!!!!!!!!!!

Yup. That means I'll finally get around to writing that Siri-poo fanfiction of mine, and then re-writing my whole NaNoWriMo in time for the June 30th expiration date on my free proof copy...after I catch up on my sleep.

Luv,

Lynda

*except House, cuz she still has Chinese Finals tomorrow *points and laughs*

Heat exhaustion is no fun...

Hello. 

So as some of you may know, where the curly fries live, it hit 93 degrees today. ninety. three. degrees. Cheese-its. that is waaaaaayyyy too hot. Especially for Carrie who has a very very very very very low tolerance to heat. My fingers start getting swollen, I get all dizzy, my stomach is achy. Luckily, I was at my (new - that story later) boyfriend's (let's call him eggr) house. And because of the fact that he is one of the sweetest things on this whole planet, he let me lay on his bed in front of his fan so I didn't die. :) He's so nice to me.  Oh yeah, by the way, Eggr and I totally watched Monty Python today. It made me think of the 6LCFs. :) ♥

Oh my gosh, Carrie has a new boyfriend!?!?!?!? no way! Yes, my dear reader, the rumors you are hearing are indeed true. I do in fact have a new boyfriend. ;D We shall call him eggr. The funny part about that is that me and my other non-6LCF friend refer to him as eggr sometimes. :P He is sooo sweet and funny. And all of the 6LCFs (I think) approve of him. My own mother approves of him! This makes me very happy. :) which is always a good thing. Happy Carrie is something you want to see. :) 

In the world of school we are currently living the dream known as "The last days of our Freshman year" but unfortunately that also means that we are in a nightmare known as "Finals". But on the upside, we only have one more day (but two more finals) until.... *drumroll please*...........S U M M E R ! ♥ ♫"I'm so excited that I just can't hide it..."♪ Wanna know how I'm celebrating the first day of summer break? ... PANIC! AT THE DISCO CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Sorry, I'm reaaaaaaaaally excited. ^_^ Like, really really excited. :D 
Anyway, these past few days have just been faaaaantastic! 

okay. BYE! 
DFTBA! ♥ 

Smiles, hugs, and lots of love, 
Carrie

I Always Forget to Add a Title

Hiiiiiiiii.

I'm really bored. House, Momo, Lynda, and I are going to help out at our old elementary school's annual end-of-school carnival thing tonight, which should be really fun and stuff, but right now I'm bored. English/French finals were okay (I kind of messed up on the English because I am dumb and didn't read teh directionz, but it doesn't really matter, since I've an A in that class anyway). I never was very worried about them.

It's the weekend, woot. Hooray for summer and warmth and sun and nice breezes and watermelon (lots and lots and lots of watermelon) and ice cream and flowers and birds and blue skies and white clouds and green grass and no more school! Hooray for HPDH Part Two! Hooray for Virgil's birthday and my birthday! Happy summer; I hope yours is beautiful. ♥ 

So I found this song called Forevermore, and it's quite pretty and cutesy and even a little sad. And listening to that song sort of inspired me to draw, and so I did.


(It took a while, but I procrastinated on studying for finals in order to draw it, so it didn't really take that long.)

. . . and we'll be jolly friends forevermore!

Um, yeah. I hope you like.

Giant Squid of Angerness

I. F*CKING. HATE. OUR.* SCIENCE TEACHER.

I just drew above picture to calmly express my deep feelings of rage towards her.

Today, we took our science final.

It started out okay.

I arrived at multiple choice question 136 and almost died. 

You see, all the other science classes are one chapter ahead of ours. Our teacher told us quite plainly that the chapter that we haven't done wouldn't be on our final. 

Guess what questions 136-145 were about?

I politely raised my hand to ask her if, maybe, she would just take those off the final. She came over and I said, "You told us that these weren't going to be on the final."

She picked up the final, probably for the first time, and said, "I told you yesterday to learn this."

I shook my head, "No, you didn't," I responded coolly, "You never told us that."

"Yes, I did!"

"You really didn't, though."

"I did. You should know this." She moved on to the next person with his hand raised.

"Ms. Tin Rabbit," he asked calmly, pointing to questions 136-141, "We never learned this."

"I TOLD YOU ALL TO LEARN ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!"

Everyone else: *Shaking heads* No, you didn't. Maybe the other class. Not this one.

She storms off to Google it. 

A few minutes later she tells us that we should just know the answers. She tells us one of the answers and then leaves. 

RRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I despise her. 

Those weren't the only questions we never learned, though. I hope I get my B so I can keep my A in the class.  :/

Anyway.

On a happier note: I got my temporary license!!!!!!!! I got to drive places yesterday and Tuesday, which was fun.Can any of you drive with a licensed guardian over the age of 21? Noooo. Well,unless you can...
I'll be able to get my license before any of the other 6LCF can even get their temps (except Carrie, I guess). LOL. :D

Also, I have this amazing new song stuck in my head from Kevjumba/Nigahiga/Chestersee. Go listen to it now. So good.

I am going to go study for tomorrow's finals. Whhhhhheeeeee. 

I like chocolate ice cream.

-Momo

*Lynda, House, and I all have her. Poor, poor, poor us.
