Swimmingly Musical

hola Bloggerheads,
We shall rejoice! Summer hath begun! I have been waiting for this literally almost since right after school started. It's kind of sad, though, to think that i'll never see some of my friends again, because they'll all be at the new school. I swear, tomorrow, the first Monday of the summer, I'm going to wake up at seven, take a shower, eat breakfast, and sit outside waiting for the bus.
Today i saw CATS: the musical and it was SSSSSOOOOOOOOOOO incredibly, sensationally, splendidly, amazingly superlative!! It was one of the best shows Ive ever seen. It didn't make any sense, but it was funny, heartwrenching at points, and based on a book of poetry, and they all had awesome names! Here, I'll give you a list:
Jellylorum, Asparagus,
Sillabub, Pouncival,
Skimbleshanks, Macavity,
Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer,
Quaxo, Munkustrap,
The Rum Tum Tugger(my favorite), and Jennyanydots.
How can you not love this?
Another thing I'm excited about is going to my grandparents' house tomorrow with my friend. You might think this would be boring, but we're going to go swimming in their pool, and maybe go ice skating or to the movies (probably ice skating.) You know what they say: All's well That Hasn't Started Yet!

Coffee Mugs And Procrastination

I'm back, I'm bored, and I'm ready to type.
I just wasted my entire day doing absolutely nothing except watch television, eat like a pig, and start five math problems out of forty-five, which are due on Tuesday. And now, when I could be doing something productive, like homework, i'm sitting here complaining to my reader(s). So how was your break so far? and no, i'm not being ironic, I genuinely want to know.
On a happier note, I made myself a supremely awesome smoothie using blueberries, yogurt, and pink lemonade. It's kind of purple-y. And, i am drinking it in my Central Perk coffee mug that I made in Tech Ed about the awesomely superlative show Friends. Which I watched many times during my television binge this afternoon.
Hey, that reminds me (i don't know how or why), I completely forgot to do my French homework. Let's study:

Jeans- Un Jean
Hello- Salut
Lettuce- Une Salade
Dress- Un Robe
Red- Rouge

That's enough random boringness for tonight. See ya when I do,
Emily

Homework

Oh, wow. Are teachers actually trying to work us to death, piling on assignment after meaningless assignment? Sometimes I wonder. My homework this weekend included:

• Science project
• 38 math questions
• Study for history SOL
• French sentences (which she never checks, but still)

So, yeah. I stand by my 'wow'.

You know what? This was about me complaining my head off, but now I realize: every busy teenager trying to develop and keep a social life is constantly under this kind of workload. I don't think the teachers know that other teachers give us the same amount of work, or that we have friends and extracurriculars.

Well, this had been pretty much a huge gripe session for me. Thanks for tuning in, those of you who made it this far. :-)

Bye for tonight,

Emily

Summer Job

Hey bloggerland,

Summer's coming up, which I've been waiting for since the second day of school. Long overdue for a break, right? Only problem is, the only job i'm old enough for is babysitting.

Oh, the joys of watching small children for long hours. i swear, it's like being a part-time parent. I mean, some kids are cute and funny and stuff, but others are just demanding. If the kids' mom leaves them a dinner, is it reasonable to ask the sitter to make a completely different meal because the food the mom left was "yucky"? It's reasonable in 6-year-old world, i guess.

I wish I could work at Borders.

That's all for now,
Emily
