'bleh blah blah' to you too
Man I have so much to talk about. You know what this calls for?
Things I wanna talk about
We're leaving for the land school on the 22nd of September. The first day of school is on the 8th. Do you see what's wrong with this picture? I most certainly do.
The first day of school last year, we brought in our luggage and stuff. We had this welcoming seminar thing, we met the people we would be on the trip with, we played get-to-know-you games, we checked the luggage, and then we went home. The second day of school last year, we left on the trip. It was amazing.
No, it was more than amazing. The first four days of last years trip, I was canoeing up at Lake Itasca. Haha, I remember the first day we canoed, I was in a canoe with Dave and Toni and it was amazing. I was usually the at the bow, because I fail at sterning. Dave was the sterner, because even though he wasn't great at it he was better than us. Toni was the buffer. Because she managed to cut her finger on plastic. That first day was great. We were like the last canoe all the time because we kept getting stuck in the weeds and stuff due to our collective failure as a team.
The day after that I was in a canoe with Ryan and Mike P and I must say that was a lot more fun. Mike was competitive like nobody's business. I was the bow again and he was this macho sterning guy (Ryan was the buffer) and together we were this super team that was usually up at the front of the pack. It was hilarious because at first he would tell me to do things and use funny canoe lingo that I don't even remember now, and I didn't know what that meant. Later, we had this working relationship that won us second place to lunch!
Gosh, that trip. I get warm fuzzies whenever I think of it.
I really wanted to go to the land school earlier. I mean, seriously, what could they possibly get us to do for two whole weeks at school? Actual schoolwork?
Trips are supposed to be a COMMUNITY BUILDING, make new friends in one's natural habitat experience. I mean, when you already know people and friends and who you "belong with" it is very hard to build community. Believe me I know, I'm unhealthily cliquey most of the time. But this year I wanted to make a fresh(er) start. Doing that is hard when we have two weeks of normal school in the way of fun time at the land school! Come on, positive attitude, don't fail me now! But IDK I'm still kind of excited because I have no idea what to expect and, of course, that's the best part!
Last night I had an Avatar dream. First, it was like Aang was tying to do a voice impression of Long Feng, and I don't remember why exactly, but he never suceeded. IDK it is pretty hard. At the end of that dream sequence, Aang was going to bed and Katara was there, and it was really sweet. She kissed his cheek, and then his brow, and then the corner of his mouth all cute-like. This was one of those dreams where it's like television, and I'm only the bystander. I almost never have dreams where I'm actually in an active body, unless there's something to feel.
But gosh, it was cute. They were cute~~
And then I was in my bathroom with this Swifter/Oxi clean stuff. I poured the Oxi Clean on the ground and mopped it up with the swifter sponge and shit son, the soap scum was gone!
I'm going to the mall tomorrow with Joy! I'm excited. This summer has been so comfortably mellow.
And by mellow, I mean lazy.
I mean, shit, I haven't seen anyone from school at all this summer. (Artur doesn't count) I did go biking though, up that hill that took four whole minutes to conquer. But hey, at least I have the State Fair to get in my summerly dosage of socialization.
Speaking of which... Another fantastic thing about my fantastic friends, all we do is walk around! Whenever we go anywhere, we walk around. At the fair last year, we didn't ride the rides, we walked around and had random deep-fried food (but the deep fried mac&cheese was good) and walked around. Like last time when we went to MOA we walked around, sat on the Zumiez couch, walked around, spent like half an hour in Hot Topic, walked around, walked around. Or when I was at the mall with Bobbi and Adrian last summer, we walked around the whole freaking perimiter. WHY? I DON'T EVEN KNOW, we crossed the street to go to Guitar Center and spent like five minutes there, then went back to the mall. At least I know when I'm with them I get exercise.
("Exercise" is such a janky word. It doesn't even look like a word anymore. I hate it. Plus, I was sure it had a Z in it.)
But to tell the truth, the only reason I would wanna go to the fair this year is to look at the art show. And maybe get stuff at the shopping stands, because I didn't last year. And maybe go up in that gondola thing where I can see the whole fair from the sky. I really don't care as much for the rides (except that Crazy Mouse one, that's my favorite), I mean if I had to choose between a day of rides and no exploring or all exploring and no rides, I would take the latter.
GOSH I AM EXCITED FOR THE FAIR, TOO.
Also, next week I'm going on a family road trip thing. Heads up. We're gonna hit the Wind Caves, Mount Rushmore, Devils Tower, and some random historical landmarks. Am I excited? Not as much, but it's something to do, right?
Maybe I'll actually read a book this summer!
Dude, even making lists I still manage to write paragraphs and paragraphs. :/
