2 and a half hours until break. I WILL make it!!! And then I will go home and then go to work and then go to a Christmas party. Exciting! And then I get to go home and sleep. YES!!!!!!! This has been an incredibly stressful and busy week and I cannot wait to relax...at least for a couple days before Christmas and then the band trip. I'm super excited for the band trip though!!!! It should be a good time--Disney World for New Years with my bandee friends and no parents. Well, technically there are chaperones, but not my parents! And then it's KICKOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the most exciting days of the whole entire YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Second only to competition days. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, it's my life--ROBOTICS!!!!!! And I am SO PUMPED for the season to get started and find out what the GAME is this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While I am very sleep deprived right now and that can probably account for some of the exclamation marks and capitalizations in the previous paragrah, the robotics stuff was not an exageration. I pretty muh live for robotics. It is what gets me up in the morning. Ok, that might be just a little much, but it's basically awesome. Clearly since that's pretty much all I'm talking about now...But we got our GAME HINT this week which is SUPER EXCITING!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEE ROBOTICS <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Now there are two hours and 15 minutes left until break. Yippee!!!!!

Happy holidays to all!

So I have to blog again goday, despite the fact that I really have nothing to say. Oh joy. Well I hope my blog post last night made sense as I was constantly being distracted by my friends. We were supposed to be studying AP Euro at Panera, but we were really just goofing off and blogging! Woot. But then we got bored, so we went to Target. That was fun. But I don't really feel like talking about it. So I won't.

Omg Sadies was on Friday and I am proud to say that I did not go! Instead, I stayed home with Emma and we watched Ghost Whisperer and then Titanic and then the last 4 minutes of the Late Show with David Letterman (which was really just the credits) and then half of the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (I hope I spelled his name right) and ate pizza and chips and brownies. And then stayed up until 2:30 in the morning talking. *Sigh* Good times. But I hope everyone who went to the dance had fun!

Hopefully this will suffice for my second blog post of the week. I have nothing more to say. Other than the fact that I have about four million hours of flute recording to do in the next two days. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd better go get started. ONE WEEK TO WINTER BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL make it!!

Ok, so I know I read two chapters of my book in class on Wednesday, but I have no idea what the chapters were about, so...yeah. They were good though. I just have a really bad memory. Oh no wait! I remember! I had just reached the part where Mattie was accepted into college. EXCITING!!!! But she doesn't think she's going to be able to go because her dad won't let her. I also met Royal in these chapters. I don't like him. He seems like he's just interested in Mattie for her land and not for her, and he doesn't really understand her. Mattie really wants to go to college and become a writer, and Royal wants her to fit into the norm for society--becoming a wife and fulfilling a wife's duties on the farm. Mattie seems to like him though, so that should be interesting.

On another note, I just realized this week that the author of A Northern Light, Jennifer Donnely, commented on my first post about this book. So if you're still reading this, thank you very much for taking the time to read my blog, I hope you like my comments! I'm really liking your book so far. And if you're not reading this, then I guess I'm writing this paragraph for no one in particular. But oh well...

Another blog post to come soon!

Well, I haven't really read much this week. I had to return As Simple As Snow to the library before I could finish it, so that was unfortunate. I did read some more of A Northern Light though in class on Wednesday. I like how the book is kind of in two parts--one part being the present and the other is the past--that alternate. So one chapter will be in the past, and the next in the present. It gives the reader an interesting perspective on the events that are happening and also the characters because you find out bits and pieces of their lives out of order which can make it easier to see how it all ties together. However it can also be confusing as it usually takes me a few sentences before I realize that I've switched times. Overall the book is proving to be an interesting story and also very interestingly written.

Sigh...another blog to write today. Oh well. I suppose I'll talk about my life first and my book second. Although the order doesn't really matter since I still don't think anyone actually reads this stuff.

I went laser tagging last night, which was...interesting. I didn't really like it. Everyone else I went with did, but I don't honestly see why you'd like it. I mean, you're surrounded by people chasing you around with laser guns trying to shoot you. Where is the fun in that? But then we played mini-golf which I don't completely suck at, and I even managed to get a hole in one! So that was fun.

I also went to the GTCYS symphony concert on Friday which was AMAZING! If you didn't go, you missed out. It was really good.

What else happened this week...Oh yeah, I went to the doctor and got two shots. That was fun. Yeah right. Oh my gosh! MN Splash was yesterday! It was spectacular! For those of you actally reading this who don't know what MN Splash is, it was an off-season event that the Edina Robotics team hosted that had seminars for all the rookie--and even returning--teams in MN. It was awesome. Although it did mean that I had to get up at 6 am on a Saturday which I'm not very fond of...but it was worth it. So that was exciting.

I don't think there's really much else going on with me. My brother is getting a snowboard today, which means that the hill in my backyard will probably be abused the rest of the day as he tests out the board, but at least it gets him out of the house! :)

I'll be blogging again later, so, if you're actually reading this, don't go away!
