wow, this thing gets addicting. I've only had a livejournal for like two weeks and already i've written in it a suprising amount (considering the fact that i can rarely document anything and when i had a diary, huge gaps of time would pass between entries...like 3 months!)
today I woke up at exactly 8:23 according to my clock, which is set exactly 6 minutes fast in relation to all the other clocks in the house, with the exception of my stereo, which has a clock that i set to my alarm clock time. anyway, i went out to the kitchen and poured a bowl of cereal VERY quietly because cleya had her birthday sleepover last night and i didn't want to wake anyone up. I went outside to eat, and enjoyed my cornflakes with the company of "Shirley" by Charlotte Bronte, which is a rather confusing book in the first to chapters and nothing to "Jane Eyre" which was at least rather exciting from the start. it should get better, though (i hope)
yesterday i decided that i should begin reviewing all my spanish notes that i've saved from last year. seeing as how i kinda suck at spanish. i remember barely anything from spanish 3, practically nothing from spanish 2, and a fair amount of simple vocabulary and verb conjugations from spanish 1 (mainly because ms champagne drilled her songs into our heads and they still stick with me. "esa montana se movera....")
so i should probably start that. also, i really need to lay the tile in "the cottage" out back...i'm reading the "floor coverings: laying a ceramic tile floor" section in The Readers Digest Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual, which i can confidently say is not a party and a half. But i'll feel very accomplished when i'm done. i can't wait to use my little craft corner...it'll be so much fun!
i'm cold, mainly due to the fact that the fan in my parents room is on full blast and i'm not really quite sure which of the five or so dialy switches on the wall turn it down (or, preferably, off). Also, i have an ice pack strapped to my back with the help of my shirt, my shorts (which are hiked up to hold it in place), and a belt...which i made! a few weeks ago i went on a belt-making spree and made a ton of supercool belts...i'm so excited to wear them all! but for now they help me with my back problem. which happened over two weeks ago at soccer...mainly because i'm a klutz on the field and tend to run around tripping both myself and others, or my limbs just flail uncontrollably. my mark last weekend hit me on the throat...it really hurt
and she was mean.
i must go...my half-read tile-laying-instruction-manual awaits me. and cleya made raspberry pie yesterday, which i need to eat. with french vanilla icecream...yum!
adios mis amigos!
