   We went up to our ski house in Pennsylvania today… only to drop a few things like a new whine set off and see some cabinets my grandparents got… we were supposed to spend the night but I’m happy to say got back early!J But I still only got to see half of Rurouni Kenshin …I don’t think I’ll ever see a full episode… there’s only about half an hour till Fullmetal Alchemist comes on and I will not miss it again! (Nor Ghost in the Shell …or Inuyasha… or Cowboy Bebop…) not much more to say …my sub for science still isn’t working so that sucks. But uh we got to go to the weight room in fitness on Friday… it started raining right after we finished or warm up laps so we went in and all the sevvies had to stay in the upper school cafeteria but the eight graders were invited into the weight room. What fun. (I’m so weak!) after school we had the UNITE retreat… I missed the very end but oh well.

   I'm currently copying all my favorites and sending an email to my self (heh) so that I can put all my favorites on the down stair computer... you don't know how seriously long this is taking so far I’m only close to done with the Anime related stuff and it's been over an hour. Agg. Well anyways... lots of stuff happened. I can't think of it right know. We choose our winter sports on Monday and started them on Tuesday. I'm doing fitness because running is just so fun:D. But I'm happy because I got four of my good friends to do it with me and they wouldn't do Track or Cross Country last year when I did. I'm quite annoyed that they had to move girls’ soccer to the fall because I should be looking forward to a trimester of soccer. But no... (Plus I couldn't do Cross Country) so yea... yesterday the sevvies went to the Baltimore Aquarium and so our fitness team was like cut in half… we played ultimate Frisbee the whole sports period. Today we did sprints… agg I am not a sprinter long distance all the way!!! So yea… Wednesday was a pizza sale (hah hah sevvies missed the pizza) and tomorrow is a dress down day! Yay!

wat would happen if I didn't type anything here?
Wow! I've got entries in my GB! *Feels special* ah... anyways I had to read at the 9:00 service at church today which meant I had to go to bed early which made me miss Full Metal Alchemist and Ghost in the Shell again:( ...don't think I'll ever get to see them... but on the bright side I finally got to see Rurouni Kenshin!
...So yea... I got new running shoes today since I'm starting Fitness in school this week and my old running shoes I used when I was in Cross Country and Track last year are to small. The rest of my year in sports for school is running. After Fitness I get to go to Track. I would be looking forward to a wonderful season of soccer and just come out of a fun-filled season of Cross Country if they hadn't had to move girls soccer to the fall trimester.

   *blink blink*
Ahhh so much has happened since I last got on. Which I think was Wednesday, or possibly even Tuesday. I got locked out of the computer sometime between then and now.
On Tuesday we spent our sports period putting on a talent show me, Lauren, and Margaret (all of the 8th graders since Louise wasn't at school) did the statue skit!:-D. so yea.
On Wednesday we had a half-day so I went to Springfield Mall and I went to Suncoast I got the November issue of Newtype USA (which actually came with the DVD unlike when you go to Borders...) one of the Naruto Mangas (is ecstatic) and the first Comic Party Manga... (I'm so happy I got that I've been wanting it for a while... some people were talking about it on otakuboards and I wanted to see it too... I took the cheep way out and bought the manga stead of the Anime:)).
So anyways Thursday was the end of the trimester and we had our advisory party we had taquitos the Twister game and a strobe light!!! After that for soccer we had another party!:D
Now it is Friday and we have the day off so I’ve finally gotten on the computer (I spent the first half of the day watching the DVD that came with Newtype USA reading Naruto and my Newtype USA magazine), which brings me to the next thing I have to say. I was reading one article in Newtype USA and they were talking about this one club and I'm like 'that would be so much fun to join but it's probably no were close buy... not even in this state.' but then as I was reading more and more they mentioned that they had done stuff at past conventions like the Katsucon and Necokon and I'm looking at that and I'm like 'hey I only just missed going to the Necokon 7 last week and I’m planning to go to the Katsucon 11 in February’ then they mention the club is gonna be at the Anime-Mid Atlantic and I’m like ‘that’s the convention nearby in July! OMG! They’re in my state!!!!’ now I so wanna go there!!!! So yea…

   backpack pics and ppl looking at skools... erm... yea
Were having some people from... I think its VAIS (wait... something... oh! Virginia Association of Independent Schools ...yup that’s right!) Come Monday Tuesday and Wednesday... well they also came Sunday and had tours from some of the 8th grade tour guides. But anyways they’re coming until Wednesday and just like randomly coming in to our classes to see how we are doing… who cares, right? But we get a half-day on Wednesday because they’re going to spend the second half presenting to the faculty what’s going on. Then we also have no school Friday because of the end of the trimester. This would all be great but we have so blerdy many tests and quizzes this week!!! Aggg! Well we have an advisory party on Thursday. ¡And for making it through a whole trimester of Spanish class with no names on the board with a check (which means a formal warning *fake gasp*) we get a fiesta at the end of the trimester in Spanish class!
Ah yes… and I finished my book, Faerie Wars. But the school Library doesn’t have the sequel, The Purple Emperor.L
And I had to miss the last soccer game for girls soccer because it was like totally last minute and they only told us when we got to school and I couldn’t call my mum to let her know there was a soccer game and we were picking up my friend’s brother and sister (she went home sick) and… and… and… wow, talk about a run-on.
So yea… oh! And some time ago some lady for a magazine came in during lunch and asked who had SSSAS backpacks (our school back packs) and I was one of them so she took us out and took pictures (we got to be backpack models!) and said we’d get our picture in some random backpack magazine (possibly the cover) and then we got the school magazine today and our pic was on the cover (wow I didn’t know SSSAS had a backpack magazine!).
So yea… and our friend Carrie (who is in 9th grade and was in SSSAS last year but instead of going to the upper school after getting out of middle school went to a different high school) has no school on Thursday so she’s going to come visit us during lunch!
…Yes, run-ons are my friends!^^

   yata! its the weekend!
Ah not much to say... O wait there is... this week went by so fast... lets see I'll start last weekend...
Friday:
We had the first dance of the year... it was pretty fun but the new DJ we got played a bunch of oldies (we had... erm... issues with the old one) but he did play the Macarena and the chicken song. And THE LAST SSLOW SONG HE PLAYED WAS CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT!!! Oooh! So happy... anyways.
Saturday:
we had our Halloween party on Saturday night Sunday morning it was really fun we went to Lauren's house and walked down to Chadwicks for dinner yum we saw Mist of Avalon and were up till 2 watching it (durn it missed everything on Adult Swim!!)
Sunday:
...was boring I ended up just doing all my homework that I had put off till then and didn't even get to go trick or treating :(
Also there was a convention at Tyson's Corner I was really looking forward to but had to miss because I had no free time

Monday:
Not much happened on Monday I went to school and wore a Kerry button to show my support... I was happy to say that I saw a lot of kids wearing Kerry buttons and stickers and the only person I knew of in my grade who wore a Bush sticker was Emily who is a major Republican *makes face*
Tuesday:
I was sick at home on Tuesday but some time at night my dad took me to the local high school to go see the polls... we took some pictures. Then we went to CVS to buy alka seltzer and I spent the rest of my night working on my submarine for science (that was why I bought the alka seltzers) and watching the daily show special on the election
Oh and I also ended up missing a soccer game :(
Wednesday:
akkk Wednesday sucked... were doing a musical in drama and Wednesday was my classes turn to go to the chorus room to work on our songs... course I was sick with a sore throat so I could barley sing x.x then right before D period Kerry dropped out of the race, I think it was a sixth grade class that found out pretty soon everyone in school knew. When I got to Spanish class there weren’t many people there yet but it was pretty clear I was one of the few people there who wasn't very happy about the news x.x
Thursday:
We had a Eucharist service in chapel Thursday and they ended up having real whine :) we have chapel in between B and C period ...which made English class pretty crazy. After doing a bit of work on run-on sentences the teacher decided to give us free time which we could spend on our papers she helped my friend Stephanie with her paper... Stephanie was sitting in the front of the room so the teacher couldn't see behind her. Ashley stood up on her desk and started dancing. The teacher said she didn't mind as long as we didn't distract anyone who was trying to work. Then the whole back row got up on their chairs. By the time we left English we had come to the conclusion we had all got drunk off the whine! :)
Friday:
Finally to today. Hmmmm… The sixth graders had their science fair today and… yea but it’s not fair when we were in sixth grade we had to dress up for the science fair while the rest of the middle school got a dress down day… that’s what it’s always been like… but we didn’t get a dress down day this year! Oh well… in science class the other 8th grade science teacher came in asking about how to write haikus. Then made one about a refrigerator:
Refrigerator
You keep my food very cold
Refrigerator
We had study hall instead if soccer today because it was to wet… we went into the cafeteria and the four of us 8th graders got a table to our self (yea everyone from soccer last year deserted us when they moved it from the winter trimester to the fall trimester) we all started exchanging cell phone numbers we had until one of the coaches came over and told us we couldn’t use them until we left school… then his cell phone went off^^
Now I’m going to First Friday at my church were bringing our DDR and were gonna have karaoke…
I really hope I get to go to the convention near buy tomorrow!
