I have noticed, lately, that a lot of my blogs start of with, "Well,......" I am going to mix it up today. I don't want to write the same thing everyday. That would make it hella boring. Ergo, I will start it a different way.

Since this is a blog and I am supposed to post about my life, I will talk about my day. I woke up at 12:30, and I decided to start my AP American History homework. I was assigned to take notes on 18 pages, due Tuesday. I found out it is very long and tedious. I had a haircut at 3:00PM. I left my house and arrived on time. I asked her to cut it so that I still have my long length, but I wanted it shaped up. I didn't want to look like a hairy beast anymore. She cut it way too short. I hate it! She does it everytime. Next time, I am going to tell her to get it right. Afterwards, I went to HyVee and got my schedule, along with some cash and Chinese food. YUMMY! I came home and my parents were gone! They left for camping today, and wont be home until Monday. I wont miss them. I did some more AP American History stuff, and I made absolutely no progress. Chase instant messaged me, and I went and picked him up in the Expedition to go to LifeLight. Whilst I was at his humble cottage, he had company for his brother's birthday. I said happy birthday to him, and I had a piece of cake. I ended up having to pick up Katie and Geoff, which I didn't mind since I was driving a nicer car. We went to LifeLight, and ate supper. I was a litte bored at first, but I soon became entertained by the music. For some reason, they kept screaming "I am talking about China." into the microphone. I was a little confused. Well, we left, and I took Geoffrey and Katie home. Chase came over to my house, and is spending the night. In fact, he is crapped out on my couch right now. I tucked him in. Holy shit! I just looked at the clock and it said 4:00AM! I better get to sleep soon. We have to meet at my church at noon. I might sleep in my parent's room, so that I could use the alarm clock. Anyway, that is my life. I still have no idea when I am going to do my AP American History homework. I am so confused. Well, I will talk to you all later.

Well, yesterday went well. I went to talk to Mrs. Pesicka, the new IMPROV person, and she wasn't in. So, I talked to the person that is there when she isn't. She told me we might not have IMPROV this year. I was a litte mad, but she told me to to talk to Mrs. Pesicka today to find out for sure. I really want to have IMPROV, even though I don't know if I can handle the extra load. It will be fun. I haven't even started my AP History notes yet. They are due on Tuesday, so it will be a long weekend. I will try to get them done tonight. I am so tired lately. I hope it is just the shock of going to school now, and not what it will be like all year. It will be fun, regardless. Well, I better get going, I want to stop and get a latte from Oscars. Talk to ya at a later date.

Well, I have successfully made it through the first two days of school, but not without homework...and lots of it. I had a whole bunch of homework in AP U.S. History, but it will be easy....All I have to do is take notes over 20 pages of reading....I already know that I hate my AP Lit. and Comp. teacher, Mrs. Benz. She is so stupid. Oh well, I have a bunch of friends in that class. I have homework on that due tomorrow. It will be fun because I get to make up what career I will be going into and write a resume and cover letter as if I had just graduated from college. I already stayed up later than I should have last night. I had to take a practice AP Exam. It is hella hard. I think I can eventually get this stuff down. I don't really enjoy taking hour long tests, but I will make and exception. This year, I believe, is going to be fun, yet challenging. I am always up for a good challenge. I have to go pick Geoff up and go to school now. See ya later.

Well, today went...well. I have some really good teachers, and I also have some teachers who are....yeah.....you know. I will tell you what I think of my classes. Newspaper is going to be cool, but there are some people who are just there to get an english credit. Oh well, Teddy said she was going to beat them up. YAY! I have algebra 2 in the E Wing. I always get screwed with my math class. Last year, I had Mr. Holmstrom, and it was the last room in the E Wing. This year, it is in the middle of the Special Education wing. SPASE PEEPOLE! AP American History is going to be fun. My teacher loves history, and she sounds like a nice lady. Except I will have a lot of notes to do. Oh well. I have a lunch period this year. And my aunt is a lunch lady! Anyway, I wasn't supposed to have a lunch period. They were going to switch Exec. Suite and Exec. Chamber around so that I could be in both and attend everyday. But, I found out that they were going to try to "share me." I have to alternate what ensemble I go to. (ie. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I go to Suite, and Tuesday and Thursday I have Chamber.) I don't like the idea of sharing. OH well, it is worth a try. I think I will enjoy both. Stiffy Cheese is doing that too. I don't want to talk about anymore classes. I will update more later.

Insomnia sucks. Today school starts, and I got like 3 hours of sleep. I am also done getting ready. Today will be the only day of the year that I am early for school. I don't know if I can handle getting up this early. What am I going to do when Ben and Brady's Get Down, Get Down to the 3rd Degree Celsius....And Rising starts. 6:30AM is awfully early to arrive at school. I am giving Geoff a ride to school this year. I plan on getting him and going early today, so that I may find my classes before the time comes for me to have to go to them. I left out some information on my previous blogs, but I "got high." "Getting high," is a code word. I don' t think I am going to do anything else about it though. I did "get high," but I found out some new information that has swayed my decision. Ask me, and I may tell you what I am talking about. I am going to tell Geoffrey in the car, on the way to school today. Well, I have to take a shat, and then I am going to pick up cooter face. TTYL.

Well, today I went with Geoff, at about 10, to help Mr. Pope to organize for the school year. Chase was there when we arrived. At 12:30, Geoff's grandpa came to pick him up for lunch. Geoff asked his grandpa if I could come too. He said, "Sure." I met them at HuHot, and he ended up paying for me! He's such a nice guy. Afterwards, we went to the hotel his grandpa was staying at, and went swimming. Then I met his grandma, and we looked at the Belize pictures. I am bored right now, so if anybody wants to do anything, call me! My number is 334-6451. I should be home. Someone, rescue me!

A lot has happened lately. Ben Waldner was involved in a jet-ski accident. We learned about this at the Concert Choir Retreat, which was fun. Ben was in the hospital for 2 weeks, and just recently, has passed away. The funeral was today, and it was so touching to see all the people there to support the family. I cried a lot over Ben's death, but now he is in Heaven with Jesus.
As Matthew 6:19-21 says:
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on Earth; where moss and rust consume, and where thieves break in and steal. But, store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moss nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Ben is now enjoying his treasure that he has been waiting for. He is not suffering anymore pain, and is now at the right-hand of the father. Be happy for Ben that he is now in paradise, and just keep your heart well with God, so one day, you can visit Ben in God's glory.

I went camping this weekend with my parents and my brother. I hated it. It was the worst weekend of my entire summer. I did a whole bunch of stuff for them just so we could get out of town sooner. I tried to help my dad hook the boat up to the back of the trailer, but he criticized me, as usual. I got so pissed off that I learned a new four-lettered word you should never say to you parents. He told me I couldn't touch my car for one week. Even to go to work. I think they kinda forgot about what they said. I will find out tomorrow morning. If my mom leaves me a note saying I can't go anywhere, then I wont be able to drive to work. If there is no note, I can drive to work. I may have to ride my bike to work tomorrow, but I will probably either get a ride from my friend Chase, or drive my car anyway. They think I lost my keys. I found them when we got home from camping. I have them in my room. I am pissed that I missed the show choir party. I heard it was fun, but that not many people showed up. I am happy. My friend, Geoff has a job interview tomorrow. I will be psyched if he gets the job. Then he can start paying back his tab. I didn't forget about the $6, Geoff. Anyway, I am going to go upstairs and play RollerCoaster Tycoon. I will update regularly.

Well, Chase told me to update my blog, so here I am, doing it. The family and I leave today to go camping. BLAH. I hate camping with them. We usually end up fighting. I don't want to go! Someone come and kidnap me before it is too late. Anyway, I am scheduled for 20 hours next week. Yay! (Seriously) I haven't had much of a chance to work this summer, so now I have 2 weeks of work. Oh well. This morning I woke up early (9). I went to the grocery store with a blank check from mom. I bought the groceries for the camping trip. Afterwards, I went home and unloaded the groceries and then took my brother's bike to Scheels to get the tire fixed. Finally, we arrived at home, where I could do more work while my lazy, fat-assed brother did nothing. I did some laundry, and then spent the rest of the afternoon convincing my brother to wash 2 fucking pizza pans. Well, my dad got home and asked me if I wanted to go with him to get the boat. I told him I had to do some work at home. My brother went instead. When he got home, he showed off the Coke dad bought him. He did nothing all day today, and got rewarded for it! You know what!! Life sucks. **Tries to think of happy thoughts** There is some good news in my life. My mom told me to start looking at new computers. Yay! Finally, Mom is thinking about getting rid of our computer of almost 6 years! You know what is pathetic? My friend Josh, from Lincoln, has gotten computers about the same speed as mine for free. That is sad. My mom is being a bitch and telling me to do more work. My brother is going to just do nothing. I better go now. I do have some stuff to do. See ya when I get back from Hell. Enjoy the Show Choir Party for me.

It's been a long time since I have posted. A lot has happened. I went to Atlanta, GA, as most of you have heard. While I was in Georgia, we went to the ocean, and I swam in the ocean for the first time. It was awesome...except for the salt in the eyes. I also had the privilage of singing in a choir in the Georgia Dome in front of 25,000 people. It was awesome. We rehearsed for three days, for two hours a day. We sounded 20 times better than concert choir. I will never forget that experience. After I got back from Atlanta, I found out that Smaki is going out with someone. It really didn't hurt at all because of the fact that I kinda forgot about her while in Atlanta. We are just gonna stay friends. It's cool with me. Anyway, I just thought I would update you. There was probably more that happened, but I don't remember. OH YEAH! I forgot to tell you. I turned 17 on July 21st. Well, that's it. I will try to update more often now.
