Le Petit Nicolas!

We're going to read le petit Nicholas in my french class! It is a french classic and everyone knows about it in France. I don't know if thats true in America... But here's a brief overview compliments of me.

Le Petit Nicolas is this kid who is CRAZY! And he gets into lots of crazy antics. The author writes from his point of view and since he is only 7 he has a lot of run on sentences. But his mind is really funny and it sort of plays off the things that kids do.

Here's an overview by not me:
"It's about a young French boy, Nicholas, and his school friends. It's written in first-person as Nicholas, and what I found particularly endearing was the way the sentences read as though they were really written by a seven year old. They run on, but are clear to understand. Each chapter is like a short story or an individual episode, and his reactions to the things that happen are very unique. Example "...Alec hit him on the cap with his tomahawk and said he was taking him prisoner and Rufus was upset because he'd dropped his whistle in the grass and I was crying a bit and telling Eddie this was my yard and I never wanted anything to do with him again, and everyone was shouting and it was all great, we were having a fantastic time." Adults will probably appreciate the quaintness of this book better than children, but it's a fun read for anyone, and a quick, easy read."

But i am excited!!!! We read a few sections in my french class last year in high school and we also watched the movie but i missed it for band or Drama or something. But i am excited!!!

It Doesn't Take a Genius...

Why do all librarians assume that it takes a brain surgeon to figure out how to use the library?! Like seriously. Every single school makes you go through the learn how to use the library thing and they are all pretty much exactly the same... I got an assignment to look for a book since i was gone on Tuesday. She wanted me to make an appointment to learn how to find a book. But seriously.... I did it in five minutes.... Seriously. But they always want to show you how and make it seem really complicated. I'm pretty sure that i know that everything goes alphabetically. And then wow look at that then they go numerically!!!! WHO WOULDA THOUGHT!?!?

Yeah. I find it super annoying... i think i'm just venting though.

I really wanna say something to him... But I think that it is better to not... Even though i really wanna...

I Got Pulled Over

I got pulled over for the first time ever. It was freakin' scary. I was super freaked. I sped through Gaston i guess because i missed the third speed limit sign. Apparently that's a $300 citation... But luckily he didn't give it to me. I think because:

a) I'm from Warren. And he probably had no idea where the heck that is.
b) He thought i was some other policemans sister.
c) I didn't even know which paper was my insurance.
d) I looked like a deer in the headlights.
e)Never had a citation before.
f) I was having a terrible day and he had ESP.

So thank you Mr. Policeman for not giving me a ticket. But you made it physically impossible to drive over 40 all the way to Mac. Even though its a 55 road... But thanks for not giving me a ticket!

I Came Home

Yesterday i decided to come home. I needed out and i needed a break. So i came home. I went and saw Freshner after their school got out. It was good to talk to her and see her. I guess i miss that aspect of life that i don't really have anymore. but i liked that it didn't feel weird doing it. Then i went to go see if Mlle. Pearman was there but she wasn't so i went to Barnetts. He gave me a hug. He really does give the best hugs ever. He was really cool. I miss seeing him too. But i'm going to judge for State Improv Fest this weekend so that will be good. Keep me busy and let me come home. Then i went home to hang out with my parents. We watched a movie on the ne 55" screen TV. It was pretty cool. We get HD this weekend. Not that i can really see the difference... I know everyone can and it's such a difference but i just don't see it. Even when you switch between the same channel on HD and non-HD. But whatever. Then i went over to see Kim. That was really nice. It gave me a better perspective an now i feel like i can get through this.

I gave her back Jordan's sweatshirt. It didn't feel as bad as i thought it would... I was nervous to walk in though. But i think i kinda surprised them. I have everything he gave me in a bag in the car. I'm trying to decide if i want to leave it here... At first i thought that it'd be best to just get everything out that reminded me. That to just erase it would be easiest. But i'm not sure that's what I want. I don;t want to shove everything away. I think i'll take the blanket he made me back to school. If i need it gone i can shove it under my bed. But i don't want to erase it. I think everything else i'll leave here. Yeah... Sorry that was a long thinking through my keyboard.

After i was at Kims, i went and saw the band. I got to be part of Visual Staff for the night and climb up on the scaffolding. That was really cool. I'm glad that the bands doing okay. They need some work but they got time. A bunch of them got together and yelled at me that i was beautiful. :-) Nice to know that i still have friends and people who care even though i'm not there. Got to see and talk to lots of people who miss me and who i miss. It was good. I am really glad that i came home. I'm gonna head back tonight. I would have this morning but i just needed a little more time.

I don't know. My world has gone to absolute crap. I don't even care anymore about anything. I want to throw up. I don't know if its from what i ate, or if i'm sick, or just upset. But i don't want to do anything. I just don't understand why this all happened... I don't want to go to class tomorrow. I hope that i am sick.

Cassidy's here!

Cassidy came down today. I went and saw Megan today. I just kinda wanted to get out. So it was nice to go see her. We watched Bridesmaids and walked to go see Spencer and Eli at the card shop. Then we went to Dutch Bros. It was very good. It was hot today too. But then i drove back. Niki and i went to the soccer game for the whole 1 minute left... But then Cassidy was coming so we went to the entrance of campus to meet her. Then she ot here and we all went to pretty crappy dinner... Like the worst since I've gotten here. So i had really saucy pizza.  But yeah. Then we took Cassidy on a dorm exploration at everyone's place. So that was cool. And then we went to the play which was pretty funny. And then we went to Arbys :-) That was reeaallllyyy good. And now we are back. Hanging in my room havin' some hang out time.

My friend Niki pets a cat. For the first time.

This is Mac the cat. He is a stray that lives over by Potter Hall. He's super nice and likes people so we all like him a lot. He's sort of been adopted by Linfield. But Niki has been scared of cats so i made her pet him. An now she likes cats. I also taught her how to swim.
