Fourteenth Week ~> (Wed. Dec. 7)

Hey everyone. Sorry it's like, 2 weeks late. I've been really busy with dance and Thanksgiving.  Two weeks ago there was a bomb threat. Don't worry, we're just some white, ghetto-wannabe suburban school.  They caught the asshat who did it and now he's in juvy. Over thanksgiving break I went to NYC(my favorite place in the world). The Talent Show was last Thursday.  My family got our Christmas tree Saturday. And on Sunday I had rehearsal for our Christmas Spectacular (not my studio, the company).


I have a lot to say right now so let's skip the details, and ahead  to today.




*Wednesday, Dec. 7*
Before I forget, Julia wanted me to put this in:
Haha in English today we were discussing something about lemons..nah it was limes..OH YEAH, LIMELIGHT. Or something like that..and our teacher was asking if we knew what it meant/was.  Out of the blue, Ben goes, "I heard that like, celebrities ate a lot of limes to get nice skin."  HAHAHAHA Everyone burst out laughing..and our teacher was staring at him like he had 4 heads..


We're doing swing dance in gym class now. I'm starting to regret my decisions for partner picking..I mean, I wish I wrote down someone else FIRST..but then again I'm happy I put it like this on the note card:

(Their names are like that for their protection. No, I'm not going to tell you who they are. Whether I know you or not.)

So, hopefully, Miss Kraus(the student teacher) will understand.  And, hopefully, [guy friend] or [funny kid] picked me;)..
I have a feeling [tall kid] picked me though..we were partners for class today. So uh, darn.  [funny kid] kept looking over at me, but maybe that was just me looking at him..I really don't know.  I really don't know what we're even doing for this whole swing dance thing.  Personally, I think it's absolutely fun and hilarious, but iiiiii jussstt...I-I don't know anymore.  UGH. x-(




Oh and for the past few days, Sharmaine and I have been talking late at night(phone calls, texting, tweeting). Like, 'til 1 or 2 am..I guess we haven't been getting up at our normal time, well at least I haven't.  Anyway, I came home from school today and my mom was in the dining room decorating.
"Come here, Zandra." she said in a tone that was not very welcoming.
"Hold on let me put my coat away.." I said, just to avoid what was to come.
"No, come here. Right now." her voice got louder and more demanding.
"Wait a second, mom.."
"Get over here right now. Right now please, come here."
I came. And this is what she said.
"I am taking your phone away from you at 9pm tonight. You need your sleep and you can never get up in the morning.  So get OFF YouTube, get OFF Twitter, and do your homework right now."
"Can I eat something first?!"
"NO! Do your homework right now. And when you're finished get your shower and go straight to bed."
"Do you want me to die in my sleep? I need to eat!"
"Don't you talk back to me.  You can eat when I say so. GO!"


Like, WTF?!!  I just walked away and did my homework.  Well, I did my math homework.  I still have English and Bio, but those things aren't due 'til Monday.  Now, I KNOW I won't have time to do them, but I REALLY.. do NOT want to do them, nor understand what the hell I'm supposed to do. GAH!


I have to go to my sister's band concert tonight.  Bleh.
OH AND IT'S THE FIRST SNOW OF DECEMBER TODAY!!! 


Hey Ben, you have to keep "reminding" me every Friday to write my blog. Or...or else I'll "forget" again..




I AM PISSED AT MYSELF. UGH. Oh and today is officially halfway through the 2nd quarter of Freshman Year.  Watch some dance videos on my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/polkie45?feature=guide

Eleventh Week ~ (Nov.14 - Nov.18)

*Monday, Nov. 14*
Like I said last week, the 1st quarter is over.  So, in Bio we got new seats. D: ...Our wonderful table hasn't been completely broken up, but we still miss each other:(.  I sit with Dean, and Erin and Zach sit at the same table.  Well I guess that wasn't the best thing to say but we were pretty, uh, SAD.




*Tuesday, Nov. 15*

I got to school like, 30 minutes earlier than I normally do today.  Myah, Maggie, and I were sitting in a circle in the middle of the hallway, eating Pop Tarts and Special K cereal.  It was our little pow-wow.  Apparently we were in front of this asshat's locker, and when he came he gave us a glare and stomped right through our circle to get to his friggin locker the hell.  I guess he got up on the wrong side of the bed...(if he even sleeps in a bed!)




*Wednesday, Nov. 16*
At lunch, I (finally) remembered to bring POPCORN! There's a microwave in the cafeteria.  Oh, and it's not like, the 1000-volt nice rotating LIGHTED microwaves. NOPE. Just some piece of CRAP they found at like, goodwill or something.  There were no numbers, no start or stop button.  Just like, 5 buttons which were labeled "Pastry", "Two Burgers", "Meatloaf", "Frozen Vegetables", and "Bagel".  WTF? What kind of asshat makes this kind of microwave anyway? Ugh..well it took us (Anastasia, Hayley, and I) like 5 friggin minutes to figure out how to work the darn thing.  But, we did pop it eventually, and when we were walking back to our table, some of the kids were like, "can I have some?"....it smelled so good. :)

*Thursday, Nov. 18* and *Friday, Nov. 19*
I'm not up for uh, writing this.  So watch my VLOG! (for those of you who are stupid a vlog is a video-log..like a blog but in video form..). Here's the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Keys9IGIoUs










Hey..Thanksgiving is next week! No school on Thursday-Monday! ALRIGHT! The first actual "break" of my Freshman Year.

Tenth Week ~ (Nov. 7- Nov. 11)

*Monday, Nov. 7*

Yes so a few days ago it was Daylight Savings Time. Thank you Benjamin Franklin, for giving everyone an extra hour of sleep!!  Yeah but everyone was still a zombie on Monday...




*Tuesday, Nov. 8*
Dean is hysterical child. In Bio, he was talking in this deep, whisper voice...
"Let's go get hiiiiighhh.."  "Wanna go smoke some weeeeeeeddd??"  "You go'n get hiiiiiiiighhh.."  Hahahaha....[NOTICE: HE WAS JUST JOKING AROUND.  HE DOES NOT DO DRUGS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.  HE WAS MAKING US LAUGH, JUST LIKE HE DOES EVERYDAY.]


*Wednesday, Nov. 9*

Oh my god in German class, were were learning about FARM ANIMALS.  Don't know why, don't care why, but whatever the reason...IT WAS HYSTERICAL.  I sit next to Gabriella and Skid..and we were zoning out at one point in class.....then, all we hear is "DAS HUHN.... KRAHHK KRAAAAHH KWRAAAHHH!!!" and see Herr Baysinger make this psycho face and have there CLAWS and is jerking up and down...HAHAHA !  Oh my god I can't even describe it right....but it. was. SO. FUNNY....
So then Gabriella, Skid and I BURST out in hysterical laughter....everyone turns around and stares at us, but we kept on giggling..
Haha and when Herr was talking about horses, he was making us ROFL! In German, "horse" is "Pferd". And you pronounce both the P and the F...So it sounds like, "PUHFAYRD".  Hahaha I can't describe this correctly..I'll stop..
:D


At the beginning of 9th period, there was a fire drill.  Kate, Maggie and I were starting to change into our gym clothes, when the FIRE ALARM RANG!  GAAHHHH!!! It's SO loud in the locker room!  We screamed so loud Maliha thought someone got shot! Haha oh GYM...




*Thursday, Nov. 10*
In Tech. Ed., we rotated teachers. (Oh yeah the 1st quarter is over.)  And Our teacher is this short, plump ginger. (I don't mean to hurt any Ginger's souls.  Gingers are only stupid so the blondes can understand them;))  ANYWAY he was turning on the radio and asked what station we wanted to listen to.  96.1 Kiss or WAMO100.1 was the overall response, but NOPE.  "Okay." he says as he turns it to a friggin COUNTRY station. X-(  Country music BURNS my ears! NO JOKE! I get headaches when I hear that CRAP. 


In Bio, we were taking the unit test.  Dean finished before everyone else, so he was just chillin' at his seat, making weird noises with his big, fat pink eraser.  I'm gonna stop there..let's just say it was annoying and funny as asshats trying to be cool.


Skid, Maggie, and I had to stay after school for a (late-noticed) student government meeting.  IT WAS FOR 15 FRIGGIN MINUTES.  We got so ticked off when we found out, mainly because our parents couldn't pick us up 'til 4pm! (School ends at 2.)  UGH. But, we did make the best of it.  In conclusion, Maggie beat herself up and they locked me inside Skid's locker.  (I almost suffocated.)  Watch my video to see what the frig actually happened. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn-HJ1qFq2M




*Friday, Nov. 11*
You guys know how I'm obsessed-no, addicted- to handstands and that.  Well, after gym (we were in the weight room) I walk into the hallway, then kick up into a handstand and walked on my hands;).  This kid(can't remember if I mentioned him already), Joe, was in front of me.  "I swear, everyday.." he sighed.  "It's addicting!" I say. (mind you its difficult to breathe upside-down like that!)  I fall out of my handstand...all my weight is moving forward and I'm falling to the floor!  Oh my god I CRASHED into Joe! Haha it was funny but hella awkward.  
"Haha sorry.." I laughed.  
*silent moment
"Are you okay!!!??"
"You bet I am.."


AWKWARD.










Hey I'm doin' a flash mob on Saturday! Whatever this has already happened and I GOT TO GO.  Catch you up later (of?) my Freshman Year.  CIAO BELLA!

Ninth Week ~ (Oct. 31-Nov. 4)

For your information, I'm writing this two weeks after this all had happened.



 *Monday, Oct. 31*
Alright so today is Halloween. Spooky, huh?  And as I predicted, everyone was being festive and wearing costumes and pumpkin shirts.  ;)


Now, I write down those blog-worthy events on a little pink Post-It, and for today I wrote "100%, Eliza, candy".  I can't remember what "100%" means so I'm going to skip that...
Eliza and I went trick-or-treating together.  IN THE FRIGGIN RAIN. Gah! It was so cold! AND RAINY.  But we did get a lot of candy, considering we were the only trick-or-treaters in her neighborhood.  Every house just DUMPED the bowl into our pillow cases. :) oh yeah and I was a criminal who escaped from jail. Eliza was a lacrosse player. Original, right?




 *Tuesday, Nov. 1*
I walk into school today, and EVERYONE is eating candy.  The kid next to my locker whipped out this HUGE KitKat bar! It was at least 10 inches long! ...and as a result of candy munching, EVERY SINGLE CHILD IN SCHOOL WAS ON A CANDY HIGH. Even me:). 
(Sorry I'm writing this two weeks after this happened, I can't really remember...and I'm playing Club Penguin too sooo..SORRY BEN.)




 *Wednesday, Nov. 2*
Same thing as Monday, can't remember. The post-it says, "m&ms, twitter, jackson and maggie"....hhmmm...

Oh yeah in Social Studies, I was opening a bag of M&Ms, and spilled them everywhere. That's all.  I am not able to make it sound as friggin amazing as it was because I AM SCREWED UP RIGHT NOW.


Twitter? What!? I think that was the day I tweeted like, 100 times.  Yeah my followers got mad at me. "@polkie45 you tweet waaay too much! you're filling up my timeline!"...yeeeah yeah I'm sorry, OKAY?


Jackson and Maggie.  I don't remember what that one was about.  I know it had something to do with gym class☺, but NOPE. Can't remember. 




 *Thursday, Nov. 3*
Haha in math today, my teacher was writing something on the Promethean Board.  Somebody had a laser pointer, and was shining it on the board. Haha everyone saw it but didn't tell our teacher.  Whoever had it ended up pointing it directly on her butt every time she turned around. We all burst out laughing at one point...and Mrs. Switala's like, "WHAT ARE YOU GUYS LAUGHING AT!??"
"Oh nothing.."
Ahh that's what keeps me awake during class..


So in English, our teacher had to get something before class.  She came back like, 20 minutes later..and in the meantime, BEN was our teacher.
B: "Alright what should I teach you guys?"
Me: "TEACH US HOW TO BE GAY! JUST LIKE YOU!"
B: "I'm not gay!"
Maliha: "Yeah, yeah, you say what you say.."
B: "BUT.."
Class: "But what?"
B: "I CAN teach you guys how to walk like a girl!"
Maliha: "So you're basically teaching us how to walk like a GAY kid just like you?"
B: "No...but I'll teach you anyway....stick out your butt and keep your head high and STRUT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!"
Maliha: "oh my god.."


Thankfully, Alison whipped out her phone and snapped this picture of him "demonstrating" how to walk like a chic. 

ROTFLMFAO!!! (Btw Ben is on the left, Maliha is on the right...) Oh my god☺


At dance, it was just my one friend and I. (I can't remember if I already mentioned her..)  Our teacher taught us a little duet combo.. click this link to watch it! ITS FRIGGIN AMAZING!!! 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjgzFnCdQ48



 *Friday, Nov. 4*
When Maggie, Nia, Maliha, and I were walking to art..somehow we all started singing(more like screaming) songs from Veggie Tales♫♪......we turn the corner and one of the band teachers starts singing along...heh heh it was a little awkward but we were laughing afterwards. -_-


I am addicted to being upside-down and on my hands. Cartwheels, handstands, ariels, you name it. And in gym, I almost wiped out. End of story.




Well now I'm going to write next week of  Freshman Year.  Have fun watching my videos;).

Eighth Week ~ (Oct. 24-28)

*Magical Monday, Oct. 24*
Today was magic Monday, and I was dressed up as a fairy.  I had a baby blue tutu and purple wings on.  From the back, Maggie said I looked like a 5-year old! (keep in mind I'm short).  I had this glitter can and was tossing glitter and sparkles at everyone! "Happy Magical Monday!" "POOF!" "Faith, trust, and pixie dust!" Oh God.  Every body's reactions cracked me up...it ranged from "Ooo! Make me sparkly!" to "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!?!"..:)  
Well, I think I got yelled at like, 3 times today for throwing glitter. :)  


In Bio, Dean FLIPPED when I tossed some on his desk.  He's like, "What's that? Sparkles?? I don't want that on me!!  GAAHH!" and shakes his desk and starts attacking the tissue box...
Later in class, this kid named Bryan was snoozing away on his desk.  Mrs. LeVan was like, "dude WAKE UP!  Does anybody have some food or something magical to wake him up?"  Everyone slowly stared at me, I said "Here." and handed Mrs. LeVan the glitter can... She shakes some on Bryan and he's like, "I'm up, I'm up!" Hahaha...


Maggie and I were walking into the gym 9th period and there was Garrett, creepily strolling around near the bleachers.. and there I was, leaving a trail of glitter behind me.  He looks over and Maggie and I, and Maggie's like, "let's run on 3! ...........1.." 
I go, "Hold up, watch.......................GARRETT! COME HERE!"  
He joggs over and says, "uh huh?"
Me: "POOF YOU'RE GONE!" I scream as I chuck some glitter at him.
Maggie: "2..."
Garrett: "What was that for?"
Maggie: "3!"
Me: "GO!!!!!"
*sprints to the locker room


At dance we got to dress up for Halloween, and I wore an old ballet costume from 2005 or 2004.  Well, since it's so old and tiny, it was kinda difficult and hot to dance in. So, I took off the top part and just wore the skirt part with my sports bra.  After jazz I'm sweating like crazy and taking huge gulps of water. I walk out of the room into the lobby..and there's Blake, just sitting on the bench.  Now his sister/cousin dances on the same days I do, so sometimes he's there.  But this, was quite awkward.  
"Hey Zandra." 
"Hey Blake." 
"You look like you had fun.." 
"Oh I did..." 
And of course my bag is right next to him:-/.  "Excuse me, my bag is over there." 
"Oh sorry.."
I changed my shoes and filled up my water bottle, then came back to re-apply some deodorant.
"So, have you talked to Eliza lately?" (btw she like(d or s) him..)
"Naahh..she's too stalkerish for me.."
"Aw! You should talk to her!"
"Please, NO."
His sister/cousin came and started walking out the door, and I started walking to my next class.
"See ya in gym!"
"See ya!"
Molly asked, "Who was that? He looks familiar.."
"Blake, he goes to our school."
"Oh.... Well THAT was a bit awkward, I do have to admit.."
"I know Molly, I know."




*College Tuesday, Oct. 25*
Today was college day, and I also have to admit that this was a stupid spirit day idea.  (Yes, I'm offending yinz.)  On twitter yesterday, someone tweeted "Love spirit week. Can't wait for "Dress Like a Normal Person Tuesday"".  Haha, tell YOU dat.


Well, aside from that, in Algebra 2 class my teacher was going nuts!  Every ten minutes she would go WAY off track and start talking about glasses and walls and babies' names for like, 5 minutes.  

Oh god, the kid who sits next to me was like, "I think she didn't take her pills this morning.."
Me: "My god, she gets like that at least once a week.."
Him: "And today's that day.."
Me: "Yeah..look at her face, she looks possessed."
Him: "Haha.. She's crazy."
Me: "I swear, every math teacher's crazy!"
Him: "Yeah! At one moment they're yelling at you to do you homework, and the next they're talking about cheap dog snuggies at the dollar general!"
Me: "Well whatever, I'm never being a math teacher."
Him: "Same.."
I hope she takes her pills tomorrow.  So she won't flip at us for not understanding how to do composite functions...


Before German, Gabriella and I went to get a drink of water.  When we were done at the water fountain, we had to "cross the hallway" (like crossing traffic).  The bell was about to ring, Gabriella says, "HURRY FIND AN OPENING!"
"I don't see any coming!" 
"Then push through!"
"Uh, okay!"
*2 seconds later
(both): "GGGAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" we shout as we push through the crowd and into the room...haha the kids who got cut off.........their faces:D......they were like, whuuuhhh?? then started laughing at us.."oh, freshmen.." :)






*Work Wear Wednesday, Oct. 26*
Well today was slow and boring. BUT, I DON'T HAVE ANY HOMEWORK!!


In Tech. Ed., Mr. Clark thought it was "Western Wear Wednesday"...he had his cowboy hat and boots on..In the middle of class, he's like "Why aren't you guys wearing western stuff?"
Kid: "Here's a better question: Why are YOU wearing western stuff?"
Mr. Clark: "Because it's Western Wear Wednesday of spirit week!"
Kid:"No it's not. It's Work Wear Wednesday."
Mr. Clark: "Really?"
Class: "Yeeaaah."
Mr. Clark: "Well the kids in the other periods were talking about western wear Wednesday...and I was being stupid a didn't check...and look at me, I look like an idiot!"
Class: "WOW..."
Haha too funny. So he changed into a shirt and tie, but he didn't have an extra pair of shoes so he had to wear his boots.
Another kid: "Aren't you gonna change your shoes?"
Mr. Clark: "I don't have any other shoes."
Another kid: "Why do you even have those shoes?"
Mr. Clark: "I got 'em when my wife and I went line dancing. You know, cowboy line dancing.."
Class: "No comment.."
Hahaha..






*Throwback Thursday, Oct. 27*
Today was throwback Thursday.  What you're supposed to do is you're supposed to dress up from a different time period in the past.  Well pretty much ALL the girls were  80's work-out girls.  BORING AND STEWPID!  A bunch of kids were dressed from the 70s and 60s too.  A few kids were dressed in togas from the Greek and Roman empires.  One girl was a viking-woman-person (haha).  And guess what I was?  A CAVE WOMAN!  I took it ALL. The way. Back. ;)  Everyone loved it!  I had a bone in my hair and a club and everything! HAHA! I'm amazing!


At lunch, Gabriella her friend and I went to the bathroom.  Gabriella is "in the hut", so she had to do her business...anyway she had this bag of pads and tampons and everything..btw there were a lot of girls in the bathroom.  She walks out of the stall, she trips, and EVERYTHING SPILLS OUT OF HER BAG!!! HAHAHA! Her face got so red as she laughs it off and gathers her things...haha all the girls were laughing at--I mean, WITH her..hahahahaha;).


Before German, Gabriella and Emma were waiting by my locker.  As I've said before, my locker is right by a door.  As I'm zipping up my backpack, Emma knocks on the door.. "If I keep knocking, maybe animals will come.."
"WHAT?!!!!!" Gabriella and I scream at her random statement...
"No like, what if a tiger comes and eats us?"
"Oh my god.."
"You're crazy.."
"Or a rabbit, and it jumps on the window and breaks its face.."
Haha we had a good laugh after that..






*Spirit Friday, Oct. 28*
Okay so Nia, Maggie, and I BOMBED Maliha's locker.  I can't say anything else.


In math, the kid who sits next to me, Cullen, was fantasizing about this action-packed drama movie.  
"So some guy starts killing the construction workers and threatening to kill us. I throw this chair at the window and it goes in slow-motion and turns and then SMASHES into the window..You toss me a gun and I start shooting at him and then we all run out through the scaffolding as bullets fly right past us..Chad pulls out this bomb and tosses it on the bad guy's bag....This bright green helicopter swooshes down and we all get on..we fly away into the horizon as the school blows up and the guy dies..EPIC!"
...


Maliha and I got to take pictures of the Homecoming football game (again).  And since Halloween is Monday, all the kids wore their Halloween costumes.  Maliha just had a mardi-gras mask on. One kid went as Gumby, another as a hot dog.  I, went as JESSIE J!  (OMFG I NEED TO TELL YOU MY JESSIE J STORY!) Everyone knows I'm like, obsessed with her.  I don't have bangs. Jessie J does.  So what did I do? Gave myself bangs!  I had a winter ski hat thing on and hoop earrings and a zebra scarf and black leggings and my purple rain boots and a cropped top on. (That picture is actually me)

No, I did not cut my hair, nor did I wear a wig.  I pulled my hair into a half pony, brought it forward, pinned it down, and put on my hat.  I LOOKED LEGIT!!! NOBODY RECOGNIZED ME! IT WAS SO FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!  I was standing with some of my 6th grade friends, talking to Logan.  Caitlin was munching on some fries, and at first just looked at me. Double take.
"OH MY GOD IS THAT YOU??"
"Who's you?"
"ZANDRA!"
"Yes.."
"Oh my god I love your hair! I didn't recognize you at first!"
Haha I love it.  I was talking with some of the cheerleaders (Kate is one of 'em) and were so freaked out. They were like, "you're a bangs kinda girl." "OMG You're so creative!" "You should get your hair cut like that!"


I'm so awesome.






Well Saturday was the Homecoming dance.  Yinz guys know me.  I know you all say "You need to go! You're a dancer!" ..but THAT kind of dancing I just don't enjoy.  Trust me, I do not enjoy getting all fancied up in uncomfortable clothes and putting on fake faces and jumping around like an idiot even though you're supposed to be having a "good time".  I have been to many parties and dances like that.  I do not enjoy it. I don't care if my friggin' "friends" are there, I don't care if there's food.  I DO NOT LIKE THAT KIND OF CRAP.  LEAVE ME ALONE.  






Halloween is on Monday. Hoorah.  Tuesday everyone will be on candy highs.. Alright well I just put myself in a bad mood now so I'm gonna go take a shower now...blah blah blah blah Freshman Year blah blah blaahh.... BYE.

Seventh Week ~ (Oct. 17-21)

*Monday, Oct. 17*
I have a feeling this week will be SSSLLOOOWWWW.
And yes, I will be right.




*Tuesday, Oct. 18*
Okay there are some real freaky kids in my school.  Brittney is one of those kids.  She's just, not normal.  And I know it's better to be not normal, but she takes "not normal" to a whole different level.  Great originality, but THIS is not right.  Today she had this bag. A blood bag filled with, what I think is blood. It was disgusting it was just sitting on her desk and hanging out of her pocket.  The most disturbing part?  
SHE WAS DRINKING FROM IT.
Wha-? That's not right.  I couldn't get a picture of her drinking it or holding it, but this was the best:

No joke.  She sits with her weird-o friends, so don't judge on my school for being fat and creepy.  These kids are individually creepy. (Sorry if you guys are reading this. It's for effect)
That's it I can't talk about this anymore.... *pukes




*Wednesday, Oct. 19*
Today I had to audition for the school musical. NOW I DO NOT LIKE TO SING AND ACT, BUT MY PARENTS WANT ME TO BE INVOLVED IN EVERYTHING.  And tonight was the dance audition.  (If you don't know this, I'm a dancer.  Everything from ballet to hip-hop. )  I'm not just saying this because it's me, but I'm a pretty dang good dancer.  People tell me so.  Anyway, the kids auditioning were all mainly singers and actors..not dancers. Great for me, I guess.  ANYWAY I am addicted to handstands and being upside-down:).  So there I was doing flips in my own world. Tessa came over and wanted to practice the combination for the audition, and there we were practicing the dance.  A few feet away there was a group of kids, junior or seniors, and they were all huddles and whispering and looking over at me... I glance over and at the same time, they're all like, "WHAT"S YOUR NAME?!!" 
"Me?" I point to myself and look around thinking, 'what??'.
"Yeah you, in the blue!"
Of course I'm the only person in their direction wearing blue, and say, "ME???"
"Yes! You! What's your name?"
"Zandra [insert last name].." (See how this comes in handy?)
Some kids were like, "I KNOW YOU!"
"How do you know me? I don't even know you..."
"Oh, haha," they respond.  "You're a really good dancer!"
"Uhh, thanks?"
"Yeah and we watch your videos on YouTube! They're so funny!"
"And read your blog!"
On the outside, I'm like, "Uh, thanks!? Spread the word!!?". But on the inside, I'm like, "HOLY SHIT I'M FAMOUS!!"
-_-




*Friday, Oct. 21*
In revenge to what Maliha did to Maggie last week, Nia, Maggie, and I have a brilliant plan to get back at her.  I mustn't tell yinz what it is, for she may read this and be prepared for anything crazy next week...BUT TODAY WE COULD NOT CONTROL OURSELVES!!! WE'RE SO EXITED!!!  I need to stop before I get into depth.  *takes a deep breath.  :D






OMFG I want it to be Monday already!  Oh and next week of my Freshman Year is spirit week, because it's the week of homecoming. (shoot me)  Magical Monday, College Tuesday, Work Wear Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Spirit (Fri)Day!  I'm goin' FULL OUT, man!!  WOOHOO!  

Sixth Week (Oct. 11-14)

*Tuesday, Oct. 11*
I'm a procrastinator. All I have to say for today. :/




*Wednesday, Oct. 12*
THIS IS PROOF THAT BEN AND CATHERINE LOVE EACHOTHER!!  Ben in in the yellow T-shirt, and Catherine is right in front of him, looking into his eyes..

(Sorry Ryan..)

*Thursday, Oct. 13*
Maliha flipped at Maggie in art today.  Just FLIPPED.  She thought Maggie was the one who took her pliers and put tape on her backpack..Nope, it wasn't Maggie, but hey Maliha still flipped..


PROOF:

Want more proof? Watch this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8IdItgu-j0 

Well this week I forgot to write down all the events, so that's all I got.  I hope I remember next week of my Freshman Year.

Fifth Week (Oct. 3-7)

*Monday, Oct. 3*
In German, we get tested by having a conversation with another student in German.  Herr picks random people, and I was with this kid David.  He's weird.  When the conversation started, he says "Hallo!" and reaches out for a handshake.  We shake hands and the conversation continues... At the end we ask what our grade is, and we both got 95%!  We high-five then walk back to our desks. Of course his seat is in front of me.  Toward the end of class he turns around and gives me this (funny) creeper stare and reaches out for another high-five.  Then Herr let us talk for the last few minutes, and David kept staring at me. Made me uncomfortable. He comes over and pats me on the back and keeps coming over and TOUCHING ME!  I finally crack and yell, "Dude, stop touching me!"  He's like, "oh my bad," and puts his hand on my arm.  Made me even more uncomfortable.  Thankfully the bell rang and I sprinted out the door.  I used a heck of a lot of hand-sanitizer the following period...

In social studies, we were working in groups.  Connor, Myah, Olivia, and Marie are in my group, and we were working on some packet about the XYZ Affair. Well after we got the first few questions done, we were drifting off into this deep conversation about question marks.  We were drawing different kinds of question marks all over our papers and binders.... And in the midst of all these question marks, Connor randomly gets up and asks, 
"I've never really know this, but how many letters are in the alphabet??"


*silent moment


Zandra(me): "WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?!!!"
Connor: "No, really! Are there like 30 or 40 letters?"
Myah: "Oh my god, are you joking?"
Olivia: "This is so disappointing...."
Connor: "Somebody tell me! I wanna know!"
Myah: "Connor you should know this by now.."
Zandra(me): "HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW MANY LETTERS ARE IN THE ENGLISH ALPHABET!!!??!?!"
Olivia: "I thought you were smarter than this..."
Myah: "I thought he was too, Olivia.."
Connor: "Just tell me!"
Myah: "No you should know how many letters there are, Connor."
Connor: "I'm serious! Is there like 30??"
Olivia: "Sadly, no.."
Connor: "Then how many?"
Zandra(me): "WHY ARE YOU EVEN IN HIGH SCHOOL!?!?!!!"
Myah: "Yeah, I'd like to know why.."
Connor: "Somebody tell me!"
Olivia, Myah, and Zandra(me): "NO!"
Connor: "Oh my god.."
*another silence
Marie: "There's 26."
Connor: "ooohhhh......"


Haha Myah slapped the back of his head and Olivia and I were just like, WOW..






*Wednesday, Oct. 5*
In Gym, we were practicing hitting tennis balls against the fence/wall.  Tessa and I hit our tennis balls the wrong way, and went to go fetch them.  We get 'em and right as we are about to turn around, Riggs has a spaz attack and whips the ball!! It flies OVER the fence/wall and INTO THE WOODS!  He turns around, and his jaw drops...
"Did ANYBODY see what just happened??"
He looks at Tessa and I, and we all just burst out laughing! Oh my god... I guess it's a "you had to be there" moment...




*Friday, Oct. 7*
In Art we're making these wire self-portraits of ourselves. And we use tape to hold down the wire.  WELL, Nia was having some trouble with the tape, and took all of it off her paper.  I can't explain anymore just look at the damn picture..

LOVE IT! (psht.)

Okay so if none of you know what "nuggeting" is, it's when someone steals your backpack or bag, takes everything out, turns it inside-out, and then puts everything back in, zips it up and puts it back where it was. They call it "nuggeting" because it looks like a McDonald's Chicken McNugget (ew!).  

Anyway, In English Ben was DETERMINED to nugget Julia's backpack. She left for the bathroom, and he grabbed it and started working on it... Meanwhile, Catherine and her buddies were nuggeting BEN'S backpack! When Julia walked back in and saw Ben zipping up her nuggeted bag, she flipped at Maliha(who was supposed to be watching over it..but was talking to someone else)!  Ben stuffed Julia's bag in the garbage can and sprinted across the room.  Catherine and her buddies were just sitting there, awaiting Ben's reaction.  He strolls over to his desk, sensing something different....one glance at his backpack...

"WHAT!?! NOOO!!!!" 

*giggles 

"WHO DID THIS!!??!!" 

*Catherine smiles..

"I HATE YOU!!! HAHA!"

Haha and our teacher hates Ben, so she was all for it too..it was so cruel, but so funny. Aaahh, English..




Friday night there was a home football game.  Maliha and I are in the Yearbook club, and we had to take pictures of the students and band and cheerleaders at the game!  We got to be on the field and in the bleachers snapping pictures of everyone.  We had professional cameras so we were "authorized" ;).  Let me say from the start, that night was just so crazy, I can't remember everything that happened!! But here's the top 5 list of the most memorable things that happened:

1. DRUM LINE JAM SESSION!! (i'm like, deaf now)
2. throwing open bottles of water at the student section
3. "STEWPID!!!"
4. That dumb lady who broke the camera charger..
5. and just being "cool" and walking on the field;)

I'm too lazy and can't remember EVERYTHING... and for those of you who DO remember this night, I EITHER HATE YOUR GUTS OR HATE YOUR FACE! (jk, jk)

No school on Monday next week of my Freshman Year! WOOHOO!! THANK YOU CHRISTOPER COLUMBUS!

Now onto week 4. IT'S THE END OF SEPTEMBER!!! OH MY GAWD!

*Monday, Sept. 26*

Nothing fun today. Oh poo. :'(

*Tuesday, Sept. 27*

Remember how in the first week of school Blake hit his head off the dumbbell doing sit ups? Well being the idiot he is, he hurt himself again in the weight room. :D  We had some time left over from the push-up test, so our teacher let us talk for the last ten minutes.  Marie and I were reminiscing and laughing again...when SUDDENLY, we both just so happen to glance across the room and see Blake hurt himself!!  He was trying to be cool and lift the bigger dumbbells in which I can't recall the real name of.  He was pulling it up to strengthen his biceps, but jerked and whopped himself in the face!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!! OMG Marie and I were dying of laughter..Should've been there..For the rest of class he was rubbing his teeth and chin..hahaha..

*Wednesday, Sept. 28*

In the wonderful class of Tech Ed., we were cutting wood. (Fascinating, I know!)  Anyway, we were doing this assembly line thing and were in groups of 2-3 at each machine.  (Needith I remind you, there's only 3 girls in my class.)  I was with this guy, John, and we were at the table saw.  The table saw kicks back a TON of wood and sawdust, so after the first few cuts I made, the whole entire front part of my body was COVERED in sawdust. I was wearing a thin shirt, so some of the larger pieces went through my shirt and INTO MY SKIN!! OUCH! At the end of class, our teacher showed us how to use the air hose. (for those of you who don't know what it is, it's a hose that blows air to get all the sawdust off ya.)  Anyway, I was the first to use it.  That hose has so much pressure, you can loose control of it easily..and thus I did, and the three kids in which I blew the air on were literally "blown away" (haha).  Andrew Schnepp was like, "I'M BLIND!!". Oh god I love that kid:).

*Thursday, Sept. 29*

Today we were cutting more wood in Tech Ed., but John and I were at a different station. The Miter saw.  You have to wait 'til the blade stops turning after you cut the wood to bring it up.  I guess I got a bit lazy and after the fourth time through.  I brought it up and the piece of scrap wood flew across the room!! Haha it was so funny!  John was like, "Don't do that again!"  And everybody else was like, "What was that?!!"  It kept happening to me and John.  Most of the time on 'accident'. ;)  Oh what fun.

My cousin Bryce is in my lunch period.  His friends kicked him out of his table (today).  So he sat with us today.  Some kids were like, "Are you guy's siblings?"

"No we're cousins.."

"Since when?"

"Since we were born."

"THAT'S SO COOL!!"

Yeah he left shortly after that to go to the library..

8th period I have English. There's this guy whose name is Ben and this new girl whose name is Catherine.  THEY FLIRT ALL THE TIME!!! It's so annoying!  Maliha and I passed them an 'annonymous' note saying "JUST DATE ALREADY!"  They were like, who did this? They were both like, "oh I don't want to date you.."  But after that, now they flirt even more and like each other EVEN MORE!!! *high fives Maliha

In Gym today we had to run the mile again (wtf?) ..because we have to run it twice; at the beginning and end of the time you have gym.  But, we have gym for the first 2 semesters:(.  Since our teacher loves us and doesn't want us to run it in the winter, she made us run it today. .

ANYWAY, when I was on my 2nd lap, I heard really hard breathing behind me.  I glance back...and...guess who it was......GARRETT!!!  I looked back again, and he was jogging faster and smiling nicely (and creepily) at me.  I ran faster and looked back one more time, he was catching up and yelled, "Hey! I have to talk to you!"  Oh. My. God.  I sprinted from there on and avoided him for the rest of class.  HE IS SO CREEPY!! GAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! I HAD A NIGHTMARE!!!! *shudders

*Friday, Sept. 30*
 In Social studies, we were talking about state laws and our teacher was asking for laws that we knew.  This one blond girl told us about a law.
"In Georgia, you're not allowed to tie giraffes to light poles."
What? How do you even GET a giraffe??  Then she told us another one.
"Did you know that you're not allowed to go whale fishing in Nevada and Montana."
WHAT?!?!!!  Hahaha she's so stupid:
"Kristen, there's no oceans in Nevada and Montana."
"Oh really? I thought there was.."
Maggie and I had a good laugh after that..:)

Earlier today, Riggs wanted to see my friend Tessa and I do ariels. (for those of you who are stupid an ariel is like a flip..a cartwheel with no hands)  So in gym, we were having an "ariel party" on the tennis courts and in the hallways.:)  She got hers down, but me? Sadly no. I still need to WERK on mine..

And after gym, I was changing in the locker room.  Riggs, Austin, and Tessa were waiting for me in the hallway. We walk to the lobby.  We turn the corner and OUT POPS LITTLE JOHN (not the kid in my Tech Ed. class) !!! "Tessa, will you go to homecoming with me?" he giggles as he hands her a bouquet of flowers. "YES OF COURSE!" The bell rings and they hug and jump on top of each other, and everybody claps and 'awws'..They hold hands and walk away into the crowd of students.  :) So cute:D
 



I STILL can't remember what I was going to say last week of my Freshman Year. I need to. Ugh whatever. See ya next week:) Maybe.
