So I woke up this morning and it was totally cloudy outside and sprinkling a little, and that RULED. I walked to school in the rain and it was awesome.

When I got to school and waited int he gym for the bell to ring, Tatiana came by, gave me a hug, and asked how things were going. When I told her I went back to dance she said SO genuinely "I'm so HAPPY for you, sweetie!" And I gotta tell you, you have no idea what impact it has on a person so just stop, say hi, and be interested in the person's life. I floated around school for the rest of the day just because of her.

We played Volleyball in P.E. and I'm happy to say the people on my team are actually NICE. When you miss the ball or a serve, they go "that was good!" and we had a lot of fun this morning.

Mrs. G, mah English teacher had a case of the crab-apple McNasties today, but when doesn't she? So I didn't care about her much. We had a fun talk in Government about foreign policy, and I love that our class only has 7 people, it made for a fun discussion. At lunch my ravioli spilled on mah lunchbox a bit, but not as bad as I thought it would, so no big deal. We continued watching Bruce Almighty and then went to 5th period.

We learned about viruses in 5th (AP Biology) today... Not fun pictures. We saw measels ad chicken pox and junk, and we thought THOSE were bad... until he changed the slide to smallpox. YOU EVER SEEN SMALLPOX??! If you haven't, don't try to google it. I almost puked, along with many of my classmates. But it was a fairly short period.

I got out of Trig, mercifully, half an hour early. And thus, I was spared from the world's most boring class ever. I watched Dr. Phil when we got home; kids that throw tantrums and crazy moms who whine that their baby took their life away; the works. I got the house ALL to myself tonight while Mom and Dad went to Happy Hour with their friends. They got me McDonalds and a McFlurry for dinner, WOO!

I saw High School Musical and finally realized what all the fuss was about. The music is so amazingly good, there ARE no words to describe it. The story was adorable, and it was an overall awesome first-time viewing. Now I must work my butt off to get the soundtrack. Miss M from dance class said we may do the play sometime soon, and I already know half of "We're All in This Together" and "Breaking Free" and a BIT of "Bop to the Top". I hope we do it.

BTW Mom, if you make me sit through Splash, you gotta sit through High School Musical. 'Nuff said.

And now I'm sittin with a coke, talkin to Squish, and smacking the French and Americans with wet beavers in my civilization game. (Um, basically that just means I'm kicking their butts.)

Life is good.
