this is how we roll
MARCH 26, 2007
My day begins with the bus:
Lucy arrives with a sweet poster for me!
I open it.
And read it.
A lot of these were from old emails and blog entries. Some I don't even remember. So don't feel bad. I love Lucy!!!
Annndd she's six!
Here we are holding on to our dreams.
...and then we decide to take pictures of people making this face!
....on the premise of a school project
1st period ART, where we slave for the bird!
ugggh linoleum test strips
British kid on left, creepy kid on right (we stereotype. it's how we roll).
It's SHADOW DAY!! Note awkward kids in background. One kid, Hemingway, had a notepad and took notes! So cute.
The mad rush in the hall. Mostly eighth graders.
Shreiber to the rescue!!
AUSTEN!!! made me a cake <3333!!
Sarah J agrees that it's like a slice of heaven.
Riblett lights the candle.
Devon woke up at 3 in the morning and remembered that she forgot my birthday present! nuuuu! She quickly writes up a card.
That's my name!
I am a card reading pig.
Check out Leesy('s nonexistence). Actually, I think she was in class for five minutes this day. Good deal!
"Miss Battoneau, let's talk about Hermes Birkin bags. Did you know that they are 20,000 dollars?" Devon, Grace, Me: "?!#%?!#$?!????" Devon and I rush out of class and into the college library to look this up. We find out that they are indeed 20,000 dollars, and not that attractive. Boxed purses with H's on them for the price of a car? No thanks! We make our own.
Devon's fifth failed attempt at being a good rich snob....
Theeeeere ya go.
Audrey makes an amused/disgusted face.
Robert Lawrence comes bearing an important looking box. Money? Yes please!
Toliver trains to be a seal.
...DODGEBALL TIME!...
We thought "dodge bubble" would be a better game, so we tried, but woe alas, it failed. It's still fun to capture dodgeballers in bubbles!
cuuute
Sarah J got soap in Sean's hair. Always fun to mess with Sean!
The Asian Assembly girls get me from dodgeball. "Dude we gotta take pictures!!!!" Oh right!!!
Sweet pictures in front of bathroom stalls! I had to hold my apron b/c it wouldn't buckle.
Angie kickboxes.
After lunch, it's time for PHYSUCKS WITH MR. BOYLE!! This is the highlight of my week, as you have guessed.
Devon is excited about physucks!
She gives me her last piece of gum. good stuff!
Hey Emily!
Great room to shadow, eh?
BFF!!
And SEVEN PERIOD FRNECH!!
Tom s'est coupe les cheveux. Freak out!!
We found this "leg" card, so I decided to label Elena's leg.
Oh that's hot.
SNHS = BEST TIMES !
We work on packaging goody bags for the little science kids!
Spinny TOPSSSS Menaka is obsessed with
GUMMY BUGS FTW
GUMMY RATS YUMMM (who buys these things other than Mrs. Hicks??!)
Menaka's sufficiently grossed out.
Good luck getting air on these frisbee juniors, kids.
weeoah
We had some sweet teamwork going on. Sohini was the RATE DETERMINING FACTOR. "Sohini, hurry up! RDF, RDF!!" Wambura astutely noted, "I've never heard that used as an insult."
"My lollypop's messed up!" poor baby.
WE EAT BUGS.
STREEETCH
eeee-ew
Joanna is her awesome self
Finished product. 190 bags, baby!
Trevor tries to explain impulse. He writes a J on the board. I tell him I reaaaaaaaally don't think I've ever seen a J in physics other than Joules.
So we look it up. delta p! Silly Trev.
At tennis practice, my secret sis gives me a puppy in a mug! awwe.
And Coach gives me Serena shoes! holy crap!
I go home, and dad brings out the ICE CREAM CAKE.
And the food
Then I was sad that I had to do homework on my birthday...
until...
JESIKA ARRIVED WITH A BASKET OF CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS AND STARBUCKS AND A CARD!! <333
mmmmm muffins
Mother: "let me take an awkward picture of you!"
"....kaaay"
wheee
She and her dad leave. Jesse barks at them. "JESSE SHUT UP!"
Thank you , I will enjoy! Magnetic poetry, amirite??? (yes!)
Tuesday, March 27, 2007 (I had an extended birthday)
Dad told me I needed to call this person sometime between 8 and 6 and gave me her business card. So I went around and asked people what the heck the writing said. I received a unanimous "Janice duhhh," so I called during stamb and asked for Janice. Except it was JANELL. Who wasn't there. So I had no idea what to say to the other lady. "ummm well my dad told me to talk to Janice - Janell - not exactly sure why?" "Okay I'll call you back later. What's your number?" "I'm not sure."
Katey and Jasmine! Katey baked me TEH AMAZING POUND CAKE zeeeeeeeeOMG and Jasmine got me cute socks and an anklet.
Then Devon arrived with my tee-shirt! <33
yaaaaaaaaaaay dinosaur and cow farm!!
I don't think anyone will ever understand this shirt, Devon.
Ooo Mrs. Reed's being filmed... weird. I like Mrs. Reed.
Stamb, during which we discuss Michel Douglaaah
During lunch, these pigs devoured my zeeeeeeeeOMG delicious poundcake >:O!
I love ma li sen.
... :(
And the train stops at ... BIOLOGY!
Where Alex gives me a card she made!! Alex is so cute.
And then we looked at dead animals!!
MAD SCIENTISTS, JEUH?
PUPPY!!!
anemonen...anemome...anoemoen..anemone
oh gross
Mrs. Edge talking to shhhhadows
Bio bubbbbbles
And then English!
Where the boys show off to the shadows.
And Mrs. Surat cries.
The shadows were WEIRD. seriously. P-Town kid: "Do you have any CLASSICS? Let's just say *flips hair* that I've drained all the classics in my library."
She returned our personal anthologies. I thought I failed mine because I wrote it in french, but apparently, she reads french. Doesn't it look like "7/30"? It actually says "+30."
No pictures, but sweet doubles matches at UR against TJ. Katey + me 10-0 against TJ girls then 3-8 against Andi and Kam.
I went home and checked myspace...
JARED THOUGHT EVERYONE WAS JOKING ABOUT IT BEING MY BIRTHDAY.
Annnnd Wednesday March 28, 2007
It's the BUS DRIVERS' CLUB!
Sweet! Lucy: "I think Mike saw you. He looked at you funny."
GOVERNMENT is always a party. It's true.
Jordan decided to videotape Mr. Schreiber for the talent show.
Mr. Shreiber! Top = Austen's, bottom = mine. "Mr. Shreiber, keep your face still, I'm drawing you." "THAT'S NOT ME!!!"
Uh Jared in lederhosen. Moving on....
I decided that the bracelet/anklet Jasmine gave me was an anklet. cuz it fit on my ankle and not my wrist. Lucy's and Laura's ankles joined the picture.
I forget the context of this! Anyone want to remind me?
Feh?
I get home
and
I see mail
and I open it. And it's the most amazing present I've ever received. I LOVE JINGNAN!!!!!!! More than any of you. I'm sorry.
She gave me a pretty bag.
And a package of poker cards....she wrote a memory or something weird on all 54!
She also made me a movie entitled FINDING BERNICE. If I were in a more nostalgic mood, I would've cried. It was amazing. But I can't show it to you guys, or you'd melt.
Doesn't it look like it says "I shaved my mom"? lol good for you, Jingnan.
Of course I had to order an english copy of the book we're reading in French. :X
The end for Wednesday!
THURSDAY MARCH 29
I forgot to bring my camera today. Sad! But here is what happened. Paint a picture in your head.
Morning: I rush to the computer lab and check my SAT scores. I see. I scream. 20 people turn their heads. I run around the cafeteria screaming, "I'm going to college!!!" Then I have to sit down because I feel sort of weak. I call my dad and he brings me back down to earth.
Second period: Mrs. Reed is sweet. We're discussing objects of revolution or whatever, so she brings us bagel bites and jelly beans and skewered apples. Because they revolve.
Fourth period: Stamb = bio hw and gossip.
Sixth period = Bio.
Eighth period = fieldtrip to the VCU library! We saw some pretty sweet books. Library cut out into the shape of a gun, book signed by Scott Fitzgerald, book shaped like bricks, AMAZING alphabet zoo book. "Crunks are not so unoften drastic / and so we tie them with elastic." Then we rush back, stop by Starbucks...I forgot my Starbucks giftcard! d'oh! More like I forgot we were going on the fieldtrip today.
