You never know whats coming for you

This is my "hmm, that sure is nice" face

This quote is from the popular film Benjamin Button. It was a very beautiful movie in my opinion and although I really could not connect with any of the characters in much of any sense at all, I do have quite a few stories that could go along with that quote about not knowing whats going to happen.

Like today for example:

SOL week has granted me a strange and wonderful opportunity! I do not have to be at school until noon all week.

With this said, I slept in until about nine today, awoke wonderfully refreshed and ready to conquer the day. Given that today was the day that the President was said to be announcing his choice for the vacant Supreme Justice position, my parents schedule was a toss up and race around the block type of situation. My mother works for a non-profit organization where the competition is everyone and anyone who might get there press release out faster than her organization might be able to. She tends to be pretty good at what she does:

Washington Post

Associated Press

AUL!

What a fun day rushing about in downtown DC!


And! It was the last day of crew!!! I can hear the Hallelujah chorus...
All in all I learned a lot this season, I dropped about 20 seconds off my 2k time (!) and can sit happy and proud on a 7:39.2 time! Yes this year had its ups and downs, but it was probably one of the bests I've ever had.
For our last day at the boathouse we put away boats and through our coxswains in the water and took pictures. That was about it. I bought my friends ice cream and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. I was not elected to be our class representative but I figure you can't have everything. Next year I will be the vice president of our class, hopefully make it onto first eight again, and be taking a good number of art classes.

the crazy mixed-up island of Dr. moreau

that is the title of the play our drama class just finished, i was the wealthy Mrs. Van Dazzle (great name) my part was to run across the stage screaming bloody murder and wake everyone up. the cast also had to run around the entire auditorium when we get chased by the Thing From the Forest, some ominous music would have been great, plus that required more screaming. i was completely hoarse by the end and have a very bad cough now. just an update for my friends up north!

HONK! part 2

Honk was a hit!! yay! tomorrow we get to perform it all over again! but kudos all around, the play was really great and everyones hair looked even better!

HONK!

the corniest theatre production known to man (and duck) is being performed at our school tonight, were my fabulous hair styles and make up artistry will be put to work along side with a true genius and one of the best artists i know, JiJi (said Gee Gee) (i hope she likes that screen name i'll change it later if she doesn't) who is basically makeup supervisor. the play is alot like the ugly duckling with more about the swans and a bullfrog (who's hair is done up in the most wreched style, yet still tastefully done, by JiJi)

BREAK THROUGH!!!

the drama class i'm taking finally made some head way w/the melodrama!! we got all the way throught the play it was wonderful! so we had a different sub today since the original sub had har car towed or something and this new sub didn't know how to block so one of the students had to run the play for the day, and we all actually cooperated !!!
