"News"

Dang, only 6 days till school starts for me. I guess I don't not have to take the MEAP, considering I'll be taking a test similar (I assume) to it. It's math and language arts. I did some practice algebra ("find 'x'") problems at the restaurant when we had dinner with the Levins two nights ago. And I should like review my multiplication table or whatever. I hate writing essays. 

I really do not know how it is August 23rd. Like, last I checked it was like July 23rd. Somehow, two months have gone by. Just... boggles the boggling out of my mind. And then if I just think about the fact that we're staying in France over here for a year, it still seems weird to me. But anyway. I'm actually sort of looking forward to school because it's something to do, I can learn, I will make friends and after school is done, I get to go home (*pumps arm)! 'Cause honestly, this summer wasn't all that great. No camps, no s'mores, NO FIREWORKS for 4th of July, and my brain got fried a few times from studying French and all that. Plus, I had a few doses of culture shock, I miss my friends a ton, I had to leave my beloved dooder dog, and I miss my friends again. But I could look at the pluses: I got an iPod, have a (somewhat successful) blog, I got a facebook, etc. But I guess I just want this whole thing to be over with. Or do I? It hasn't really even started. Once school starts that will be the real thing. And not to mention, the real hell. Pardon my French. 

But anyway. I was looking around on the Internet for stuff today. I went on to NYTimes.com to check up on the news. I found this article, which was... interesting. I also posted it on facebook by the way.

I also checked up on Fang's blog and this article made me want to like... barf? I dunno. But worth checking out. Kinda creepy, though. Surprising. Means a lot if you've read Maximum Ride. Which you should if you haven't. 

And let's see... what else... I put up all of the pictures, so yeah. I need to practice my trumpet more. Oh yeah! I really want to go to Interlochen. It's this really cool band camp. There's like a program thing through Pioneer, which I would do. One of my friend's brother went there and he said it was fun but hard. And my parents approve. My dad said it was "a good ambition," So yeah. I think I'mago with trumpet. If I had to choose between trumpet and guitar. But I dunno. Band rules. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. 

I need to get my hands on Breaking Dawn. And the Dangerous Days of Daniel X. And The Final Warning. And Lovely Bones. And an iTunes gift card!!!!! I so need that. The stupid thing still won't us buy anything. Uggggghh. 

Hey, go USA! This is the end of the post.
