Update prompted by odd happenings regarding my potential future(s)...
Well. Long time, no posts, as usual. I've got four more weeks of highscool and Pippin is over, but aside from that nothing much has changed.
Today and tomorrow all of the senior gov't classes are going to "Reality Store". We were the first period to go and it was fairly amusing. Better than timefilling classwork, anyway. So we go into the media center and Erica, Tonny, and I end up with at a table with another girl and the proctor or whatever you call 'em. The gist of it is that you pick a certain life situation and then have to balance you expenses. It's supposed to teach you to value money and what you have to spend it on and teach us check-book balancing skills. So I ended up divorced at 27 with a 3 and 6 yr-old making only $40,000 a year. Needless to say I ended up in debt and had to get a second job. But it was pretty fun.
Then we played cards in Stat and continued onto English where we had a semi-party and began watching Smoke Signals, which doesn't look half bad. But I stayed for lunch, since I was stuffed already and Jordan and Cyndi weren't there and I would end up by myself. So I chatted with Kate, Katherine, and Sam about cellphones, families and Kate's eyes until Mrs. Jackson came around and read everyone's palm out of the blue. Apparantly I have a strong, loyal love life (yay) but I'll get married late (boo). Not that I want to be married in like a year, but mid-twenties would be good. Before I'm 30, hopefully. And I also will have a long life, but will have a serious illness later on. I'm fairly strong and one-track in business and I'm not very religious (true). And I'll definitely have one kid, possibly three (hmmm). True or not, it was interesting.
And then I went to drama and we worked on the scenes for dramapalooza and my group realized we're fairly ahead of everyone. But then again, it's only me and Monica acting and our scene's much shorter than everyone else. And Ms. B says I need to act more in control...which is kind of against how I interpreted my character. Yeah, she's the older sister and she's much more logical, but I still see her as fairly passive and I think she would let her sister get away with such things, especially when their in the middle of the forest. *sigh* So we'll se what I do about that.
That's about it, the coincidences were just interesting...
