I can't believe break is almost over, I planned to do so much and I accomplished just about nothing. Since most of my other days of break are boring to write about I"ll talk about Thanksgiving. Every year we go to my mom's older brother's house. Usually we go by the day before to chop up all the stuff that goes in the stuffing but this year my aunt told us not to come for some unknown reason. Even though I was kind of mad at her for breaking our tradition the stuffing did taste better when you didn't see the eighteen eggs put into stuffing of already pretty gross stuff. Anyway Thanksgiving was eventful and uneventful at the same time. It was uneventful because we didn't have a giant game of spoons like we normally do (never play spoons with knives, even plastic ones, we learned the hard way two years ago). It was eventful because almost everyone in my family talks forever and there was a lot of family gossip, one of my cousins had mono, another one was grounded indefinitely for a reason that I do not know and my cousin's grandpa had the flu and couldn't come. The food was delicious, I had two full plates of turkey, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, stuffing and bread biscuits. Now two plates might not seem like a lot but I loaded my plate to the fullest. I couldn't and didn't move for about an hour. Oh, I almost forgot, in the morning me and my dad watched the Bozo, Gar and Ray special on WGN, we watch it every year. I was surprised to learn that none of the friends that I talked to watch it or even heard of it. So I was wondering if anybody watched it or if you all think I'm crazy. To add on to the crazy I decided to share the following picture of a shirt I found on wanelo. It doesn't apply to me but I thought some of the boys might like it.
Since Jackie wanted to hear more I thought I would share some more stories from my adventure almost two weeks ago. What I first promised was that I would tell you about how I ended up in a gym locker. Now to us this sounds crazy because our gym lockers are so small I can barely fit my shoes in them. The ones at my friends school are HUGE! So anyway after I said this my friend's friend is really short and says "One time I went into one of these lockers to scare my friend" and I was thinking that maybe I could fit too. I did and my friend took a picture as proof, its on Instagram I think. After gym we were walking to study hall with another girl and we told her how I went into the locker, she is really funny and sarcastic and thought that the dean would have the sense of humor to think that it was funny to say that my friend put me in the locker. He was shocked and didn't catch the sarcasm, I had to step in and say I went in voluntarily. He is kind of a scary guy and I wouldn't have talked to him if I didn't think my friend might get in trouble. Since I started talking to him he decided to start a conversation with me. He asked me what other schools I was considering and I said the school where I'm actually going or here. He totally bought it but it was so scary! That haunted me for the rest of the day but was soon forgotten by my friend because she was so nervous for the musical audition after school. Her school was auditioning that day for Beauty and the Beast and all of her friends were trying out too. The day before almost 100 people tried out and were at school until five thirty so we wanted to get to the auditorium right after school. Even though it was one minute after the bell rang there was a huge line but her friend saved her a spot near the beginning. Her friend wanted to be a fork in Be My Guest but even though she made it she can't be a fork. Both my friend and her friend made it and are in ensemble which means they are townspeople and enchanted objects. Enchanted objects are the food or cooking utensils besides forks, spoons, knives or plates. I can't wait to go see the play! (It will probably become one of my posts!)
Last Tuesday we all had no school for election day. Whether you slept in, played minecraft all day or hung out with your friends you probably had a relaxing day. I on the other hand did not. I stated my morning a little before six to take a shower and get ready to shadow my friend at her high school. Now don't freak out I am going to the high school that most of you are going to, my friend just wanted to show me her school. It was such a fun day. It seems like it might be boring sitting through classes but I found it pretty interesting, I tried really hard to understand what the teachers were talking about. This was very difficult because first of all my friend is a junior and second of all some of the teachers were making it very hard to pay attention. The math teacher had like a lisp and wrote his fives like backwards sevens. The Spanish teacher held on the s at the end of words really long. The English teacher was good but not as good as you Mrs DLP, they were reading Hamlet and I thought it was supposed to be like the Lion King but I didn't really think so. By the end of the day I had learned barely anything, met all of my friend's friends and read a lot of my book. (Thank you Maura and Emily for having me read the Uglies, I would have been so bored without it.) I have already written so much but I have more to say so if you want to hear my encounter with the dean (the principal) or how I ended up in a gym locker leave a comment and that will be my next blog.
Friends is my favorite show ever. I was never much of a t.v. person but about a year and a half ago my cousins showed us Friends for the first time. Since then Laina and I have watched the entire ten seasons from the DVD set we bought two times, we started on our third over the weekend. We record Friends every time its on, on three different channels, its on TBS, WGN, and Nike at Nite. We can not go a day without watching an episode which I guess qualifies this as an addiction. Its such a great show because for the most part its just life but funnier and at times more dramatic. My mom thinks we are crazy because Laina and I say lines before they come because we know them so well. Its so much fun to start the series over again because you see how they set up for future events, how they change names of minor characters and the actors who play them. Laina and I are also always finding people form other shows on Friends because they have so many guest stars. All in all Friends is a great show so if you are ever channel flipping or just waiting for Doctor Who to start again watch a couple episodes of Friends and you will be hooked.
