College is Almost Exactly How I Imagined High School Must Be Like

Everyone talks about sex.



All. The. Time.

One more reason for me to chill with my electric kettle. It's never spoken in non-subtle innuendos in my vicinity, and it never will. A true friend.

Vhere....is theh Nazi goollt!"

HEY AMY! Hows college going? I'm watching crabstickz videos, if you can't tell by the title. I heard your first day was great, which is totes cool. I haven't done anything since I saw you except me and Joseph and Angela went to Cowboys and Aliens. It was cool but I'm pretty sure I would have liked it 50% less if it hadn't had Sam Rockwell, even though he had a kind of small part. I guess Daniel Craig is awesome even when he's going for a girl that looks like she could prooobably be his daughter. And Harrison Ford is old. Thats all I have to say.

Oh and the aliens were weird. I would probably rather have seen Apes movie or the Glee movie again. But whateves.

Another thing that happened was I mentioned both Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez to Joseph and he didn't say one bad thing or make on annoying noise concerning them. It was amazing. He must have been in a really good mood.

When Abduction comes out I'm hitch hiking to warrensburg to see it with you. Or I'll just hitch hike to a theater and watch it by myself.

We started school today and we're doing planning and stuff.

That is all.

Oh, hey there.

Yeah as far as blogging goes I've kind of...not been doing it.
Usually I don't blog unless Amy isn't near, so I can tell her all the happenings, but since Amy moved back for the summer I've just told her everything to her face, but that doesn't mean that I've got plenty of things to tell YOU.

Lets see, last time I blogged was the middle of may? Lots of things have happened since then.

Like, swim team started. I have mixed feelings about it, still. You'd think that by three weeks in I would have decided weather or not I hate getting up at five and freezing/working really hard for two hours, but I haven't.

Things I like about swim team:
1. swimming?
2. winning.
3. Coach Kyle
4. the people. They're all cool.
5. Getting totally ripped.
6. Getting totally tan.
7. Boasting about how I'm still alive even though I get up at five every morning.

Things I don't like about swim team:
1. Getting up at five.
The first ten minutes are like the worst thing that ever happened, literally, and then you wake up and its OK. Its really not the tiredness that I hate about it all, its the coldness, which is my second point.
2. The coldness.
Swimming in a pool that is less than 80 degrees is like swimming by an ice burg with a wet suit on. Except there are no ice burgs and there are no wet suits.
On monday the water was 76 degrees, which is like six degrees away from being the exact opposite of a volcano. Meaning if it were 70 degrees we would have frozen where we stood.
3. There are a couple other small things I don't like, such as some of the other pools that we go to, but I've told myself I wouldn't complain about those because I never want to feel the wrath of Kyle again.

In other news, I'm, like, driving. Its crazy. I'm 15 and now I'm driving. I can hardly believe it. But what is even more ridiculous is that mom is letting me drive to swim team at five thirty in the morning. I totally have it under control but I still feel like it should be illegal or something.

I'm also playing the drums again. I watched a video of like seven-year-old Justin Bieber playing the drums and it was preeettty inspiring, but not inspiring enough for me to actually do anything about it. So then I watched some Nick Jonas playing the drums and then I listened to some Muse and I've played the drums like an hour every day since then.

Beside all that I'm really doing nothing but sleeping. When I get home from swim team I eat like a boy and then I fall asleep for like three hours. Its the kind of sleep where you wake up and you feel like you've become one with the bed, and then you get up, and you sit down somewhere else, just so you can wake up the rest of the way without falling down, and you end up falling asleep there, too, and then your groggy for the rest of the day.

Stay Classy

Binary.

This morning I got up at six thirty and drew binary for two hours.

It was for Josephs Birthday sign which is totally awesome. When you come home you will be stunned by its awesomeness.

Yeah Angela should read City of Ember but she must be warned, the first book was totally awesome, the second book was pretty alright. The third book was horrible. The fourth book was unsatisfactory and horrible.


Yeah.

Today I cleaned off my desk and it took me a really long time. Like fifteen minutes. Which is a long time to clean three square feet.

Yesterday I did four math lessons. Then today I did four more. Yeah its crazy!
I'm learning about graphs in math. Its just about the most interesting thing I've learned all year, which isn't really saying anything. Math doesn't interest me in the least.

Heres what interests me: Summer and swimming.

Today I got up at six thirty and I was like a totally zombie for five or ten minutes, then I snapped out of it, but they were still like the worst five or ten minutes of my existence. Mainly because my breath was absolutely horrible.

But as a sat there, on the floor, unable to keep my eyes open without it hurting, I thought, "welcome to your next two months, Michelle." and then I was like, "except you'll be waking up an hour earlier than this and swimming in freezing cold water for two hours." and then I was like, "No you'll be waking up an hour and a HALF earlier than this and swimming in freezing cold water for two hours."

Yeap, thats right. Instead of getting up at 5:20 every morning and stumbling around the house before we leave at 5:35, I'm going to get up at 5:00 so I can be fresh and happy and awake by the time I get to freeze to death.
It was Angela's idea.

Nothing else interesting happened except last night I was on the computer and mom said, "Michelle, are you ever going to read a real book?" And I had to sit there for a second to try and remember how many times I had talked to her about my summer reading list, and then I had to try and remember how many days it had taken me to read The Lightening Thief and the Sea of Monsters (like 9) and then I had to try and remember what happened in both of them, because I always forget when I read the books too fast.
And then I responded with, "I've read two whole books in lest than two weeks!"
And she was like, "...Only two?"
Well, I don't know about you, but two is a lot, considering all the other things that are going on in my life right now. Like school.

But as of today I only have like fifty-six days to read the last three books of Percy Jackson and all seven of the huge harry potter books if I want to get them all finished before Deathly Hallows part 2 comes out.

Peace out, homie.

To tea or not to tea?

That is the question. I'm at school, the weather's horrid, I have an hour and a half to wait for my next final (Western civ, will invariably be torture), and the temptation to purchase a hot drink in strong. I have no idea why I didn't think to just bring a car cup with me, and now I'm living with the consequences.

I'm in the computer lab as of this moment. The computer lab is a soulless place, filled with lame equipment, unnatural lighting, and sleep-deprived zombie students pressing keys aimlessly in the hopes that it will better prepare them for the inevitable Final Exam. Not only that, I sat down to this computer about a half-hour ago, only to realize that the computer next to me is evidently the only computer in the entire lab that has Windows 7 on it, with the shmancy graphics and the slick-looking desktop. While I'm over here typing away on what is probably Vista but seems more like Windows 2000, with the bad resolution and the stretched screen and the infinitesimally slow processing skills.

I'm an ungrateful hag!

Yesterday Angela and I went to see Hanna. It was interesting but I'm not completely sure how I feel about it. I certainly enjoyed all the cinematography and the details and a few of the lesser characters, but the premise was really odd and I felt like a bad person for enjoying a film about a 14-year-old murderer. Saoirse Ronan was pretty incredible though. It makes me want to see City of Ember again. Can you believe that Angela hasn't seen that movie? She hasn't even heard of the book. I think we need to make this a priority, don't you?

Today is my last final day. Since I will not return to JCCC at all in the foreseeable future, I think that I will treat myself to that tea. I am excited to be done with school. It's lasted a long time.

You're a Superstar!

Thanks for doing that song thing. I had it on my to-do list but it kept on getting pushed down by other things (that I still haven't done).

Anyway, if I'm not made completely broke by fixing my oxygen sensor on my car, I'm thinking about buying a flip camera. As corny as this sounds, I've actually wanted to record myself doing some piano things because I'm one of those lamers who uses YouTube to watch piano-playing vids to help me learn songs, only a lot of the songs I want to learn are missing from there. So I learn them anyway (the hard way) and now I want to upload them to help other people.

That was sort of long and didn't make much sense. Sorry. In any case, I'm going to buy a flip camera eventually. It's probably going to be sort of cheap. Then we can sing covers to our hearts' content. But we can't sing any lame ones.

You're right, cars are cool. Now that I spend so much time driving around, I notice them a lot more. I still don't know anything about how any cars actually work on the inside, but they don't all look the same to me any more. Pretty much all I can do is notice that there are three brand-new Camaros I see on a regular basis at school. One of them is black (awesome), one of them is yellow with black racing stripes (pretty cool), and one is bright, bright neon green (awesome to the power of ten). I figured you'd like the last one.

There's also a black Mustang I pass every day on my way to Personal Communication that is made more awesome by the fact that it belongs to a handicapped person. If I had a handicap I, too, would compensate by 1) wearing awesome shoes, and 2) driving awesome cars.

DID YOU KNOW:
When you're on the "Edit Html" tab on the post (it's on the top right corner), if you try to put pictures in, yes, they will come up in code. But they'll still show up as the pictures when you post it. And, this way, it's much easier to move the picture around in the post.
NOW YOU KNOW

"....it was only a corvette..."

Cars. Are. Cool.

You know, I didn't use to be one of those kind of people.

I tried to upload some pictures of some awesome cars, but it all turned up in code, so that plan failed.

So this summer is going to be all busy busy busy.
I'm doing so much awesome stuff.

Speaking of awesome things that we'll be doing this summer, we have to make that one show awesome by showing our faces and singing our song.

Sydney told me that we should do covers on youtube. I gree.

ANYWHO that fleetfoxes song. Whell, I figured it out because you didn't.

YOU SING THIS VERSE.
Wanderers this morning came by
Where did they go
Graceful in the morning light
To banner fair
To follow you softly
In the cold mountain air

I SING THIS VERSE.
Through the forest
Down to your grave
Where the birds wait
And the tall grasses wave
They do not
know you any (both of us do the "more" thing)more

BOTH OF US SING THIS VERSE.
Dear shadow alive and well
How can the body die
You tell me everything
Anything true

BOTH OF US THING THIS VERSE.
In the town one morning I went
Staggering through premonitions of my death
I don't see anybody that dear to me

WE BOTH SING THIS VERSE.
Dear shadow alive and well
How can the body die
You tell me everything
Anything true

WE BOTH SING THIS
Jesse
YOU SING THIS
I don't know what I have done
I'm turning myself to a demon
WE BOTH THING THIS
I don't know what I have done
I'm turning myself to a demon
THEN COME THE LA-LA-LAS


GOT IT? YUP!
