yesterday (seems so far away)

yesterday was the last homecoming game... the band left early due to EMU band day (which i'm not going to, i'm going to XC - conference meet - instead. woot!), and we went to mcdonald's. but i wish i'd stayed with katie/patrick/jon/etc... because apparently it was really fun and we actually
WON!!!! something like 36-7. it was unbelievable!!!
beautiful fall day for running... my knee hurts more though, but i'm hoping i'll be able to run. i only have 1 more meet after this (fresh/soph).
izzy's home too.

lize's and the day apres

the xc thing was fun. scavenger hunt (our team won), lots of food, swimming @ nicole's (awkward swimsuit/football guys moment on stairs), left early in am. slept with contacts in... BAD idea. my eyes have been sore and burning and OW all day. it's 11:13 pm and i'm still working on this rather stupid french comic strip project...
OH. i watched 10 Things I Hate About You & PS: I Love You.
10 things: GREAT!!! one of my top fave movies, definitely. heath ledger is in it, and i was like "oh hes kind of cute, who's that?" then i look him up and i'm like, "oh. he's DEAD. that's... weird and creepy and depressing and sad. and a waste."
PS: ily: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW is the best way to describe it. i cried for basically 2 hours straight. soooo cute and romantic :) makes me want to have a lovely BF (again?), both these movies. aww schnuggle schnuggle.
oh yeah, the rodeo was today. not much to say except HICK and yeeeehaw. and cowboy's prayer (so sacreligious?) steve gave me a ride home... aaawkkwaaard

ok i really have to run now. ttfn,

le premier jour d'ecole

it was fine. except for one very freshman-esque (that i didn't even make last year), i went into my 2nd semester 2nd hour class... i wondered why charlie & a bunch of juniors were in 10th grade history. "You're taking psyche?" he asked. "umm.... no." exit stage right, and vite! but it was ok. umm, what else... i didn't get my schedule changed yet, which was really annoying since i was in the counselor's office for about 1 1/2 hours today. grr. oh well, tomorrow... hopefully.
classes:
1 - essay... michelle, lexi, brad, charlie, julia (vand.), and that charlotte scott (....) seems like it'll be fine.
2 - health (i didn't get it changed, so nothing to say)
3 - french. going to be *fun*! michelle b, lize, idk. everyone, really,
4 - hist I... excellent! steve, kristin, lize, lisa (and kate sch). mr drabek started picking on me ASAP when he made the dzombak connection... he gave me a look and i was just like, *sigh* "yesssss." (NOT that way!!! ugh.) white castle burger jokes.
5 - bio, mcnally/mcnazi. claire, steve, jessica wines. going to be probably the hardest/most unfun class this year.
6 - ag II,whitmeyer. this is going to be 2nd hr so idk who i'll be with.

sooo yeah. xc was VERY rainy/chilly/damp/thunder/lightningy... 54321 at sod farm. eech. but ok. except for i ate a quesodilla at 12... ICK. never again...
oh yeah. devin wants me to do the solo/ensemble thing if taco doesn't play bassoon. so yeah. busy day tomorrow.... xc and band. yippee.

sore, worn out, tired, exhausted... and content :)

oui, au'jourd'hui was simply superb... registration itself was blah - my picture turned out all red, so i'm going to get retakes, maybe - but hanging out with steve, chris, devin, kyle and emmi was such fun (to be british). charlie, katie and annie came a bit later too. quick list of some of the highlights:
- salt & pepper frosty (EEW), then salt on devin's straw
- burping @ wendy's
- devin's kite
- spray bottle!
- sutton's office is demanified... aka, pinkified. (complete with balloons and confetti)
- i had trouble getting back onto my bike (b/c i rode there after kyle dropped me off at home...)
- "annie!" "WHERE?!?!?!?"... "aaAAHHH!! pant pant pant!" "is that part of the handshake? the becca-dog thing?"
- finding lockers with A

yeah. it was FUN. as for xc this morning... *cringe* *OW*
it was supposed to be premeet (aka, 3-4 miles) but carney decided that we should run to the sod farm, do almost a mile of strides (my last one was great - he said i was a "zoomer"), play some ultimate frisbee, and run back. all that = OW. i am so damn SORE. my shoulders are too, from pushups the other day i think.
oh, while i'm thinking of it, classes i have with people:
essay & analysis = charlie (...)*
band (eventually) = pretty much everyone (lol)
history = a couple people
ehh i give up. entirely too much effort, this thinking business.

oh yes, izzy leaves for college tomorrow. it's going to be really weird/different around here now...

lastly, a quick Fall Fashion Outlook pour moi... i hope to go shopping soon, hopefully with C and A this weekend...



alrighty, i'm tired and out. toodles!

*more on this later...

night before...

ok so i am off to band camp tomorrow. that's all.
i packed, didn't run, and watched made of honor & 21 today.

~ r

did i post yesterday? i don't recall...

well at any rate, here i am now. so here goes.
umm, precamp (today and yesterday) was fine... today david had me drill our section b/c i squeezed the most toothpaste out of a tube AND won the march off. also they had me not do vocals b/c i was too loud to hear the freshmen over. :)
lets see... well my voice is quite hoarse. not too terrible, i guess, but to me it sounds funky. i got the lyre, strap, etc... today after precamp too.
ok well i am super tired. OH wait, dang it, the meeting. ok so there was the band meeting later, and not much happened...
1. J and A were acting all married-ish with jacob
2. K(irstyn) asked if they were going out (!)
3. tennis ball massages
4. K found my perfect massage spot... and i boob-thrusted in D and P's faces practically. D's eyes were about the same size as the tennis ball. it was funny.

ok, that's about it. no run today, but hopefully 2mrw before mass (agh) i'll run quick, like 3 or 4.

tiredly yours,
~ r

today: running, rummage, and sycophantness

yeah we did a 5x5x5 workout today.... ag(ony). no water + heat + seeing spots on the way back = fun????
rummage sale twice today, both times ehhh on the fun scale. first time: picked up some cool scarves and some (teehee) funny lookin' red/white sweater-stocking-sock-boots that megan totally made me take. they're funny. (picture to come...)
2nd time, J and A were being sort of stupid acting, like laughing at people and ignoring other people and generally being annoying. so yeah. and later, J made this huge deal about trying to get me not to go to precamp 2mrw + thurs. which i am. after talking to about 50 people (more like 7, lol) i decided to take... drumroll please... BOTH instruments to camp tomorrow, b/c i still need to talk to sutton and people about what i'm actually going to do. per se. QED. etc.
and finally I emailed mrs foyle about presenting my thing anyway. *cross fingers*

SO TIREDly yours,

~ r

ps: and OH! J and A brought up V... again. why can't they just let that be?? it's not like i'm still in love with the guy, but its not nice to call people gay when they're obviously not. but if i deny that, they'll think i like him. AG. freaking immature, in my opinion.

crankalicious (in a non-sexual way, mind you. just plain cranky).

grr. this color is how i feel, mixed with a bit of this.

aka, CRANKY.

REASONS:
1. weather (humid, hot)
2. NO RUNNING TODAY (grr!!! that's most of it, i think. that plus...)
3. MISSING CAMERA. (again. WHY must i be so absent-minded?!?)
4. dry skin
5. contacts
6. face cream (lack thereof)
7. school
8. hair not done yet
9. whole band/or not band thing. ag.

i'm sure there are more, i just can't think of any. i feel mad at myself, like i always do if i don't run. feeling like a *real* FWAM.

anyways... i should get ready to go to bed. looking for my camera at this point won't do much good... i mean, it's not like some guy is going to break in here, find my camera, steal *just that*, and leave.

unless it's a really bad day.
