The word 's' has a 'lisp' in it

So, this week. Well, it's been quite hellish. And so very busy. I had a math test yesterday and I made a number of stupid mistakes. I also had to put up with Beckie (who was at that state of exhaustion where everything is funny) alternate between obsessing over a mistake she made on the test and laughing hysterically while trying to work on a history project with her.

My arm-bruise is still there, and, as Mikhael puts it, "I B Hurtin'" (Hahaha).

Yesterday in English we were playing games and NS told us to, in our groups (mine ended up being Ilona, Marianne, Gary and Caitlin) perform a great work of literature in five 'photos', though we were allowed a few lines of dialogue if we chose. One group chose Romeo and Juliet (we decided that Shakespeare was too boring), one group the Bible (we wondered how one could perform the bible in just five photos), one group the IB Math SL Data Booklet ("We're parabolas!") and us, Green Eggs and Ham. My idea. I was Sam I Am because I knew the story best.

We also were given a title to a story and we had to act that out in five photos. Two of them were really morbid (Aram being gang beaten and Yuan being hit by multiple cars) and two of them were about failing IB exams. Just shows you where our minds are at. Robert playing Saucier was hilarious.

I received my first ribbon for cross country since grade ten. Seventh. I always get the purple ones. I talked to Jenny about IB (she's in grade eleven) and she said that it was refreshing to hear someone in IB that didn't want to go into a medical profession.

I'm currently making mini-cupcakes. Simple simple yellow cakes with chocolate cream cheese icing.

Germany, and possibly Alabama

This week has been...long.

Umm, I've had a sore throat since Wednesday evening. I sound like crap. It really sucks. Details on my LJ, even though nobody can read it.

I also have a really nice arm-bruise from carrying my textbooks double-bagged on my arm because of the rain yesterday.

PS: this as actually posted a week later. I wrote this before, then forgot to post it. My bad.

PS2: 700th post

Pain! Pain! *Giggle*

I'm not directly posting this on my blog, because neither my internet, nor my MSN are working right now.

So...what was the last day...I honestly can't remember, so I'll just start with Sunday. On Sunday we saw Julius Ceaser at Bard on the Beach. It was pretty good, but I prefered Timon of Athens. We beat the rush at Anton's again, where I over-stuffed myself before dance. Dance was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring, but it was a meet and greet sort of thing with Amy, who taught us an "advanced" combo. Blah. Beppie and I were so bored.

Monday I bought new shoes!!! Got my special discount, so I splurged. They're sooooo comfy and they match my running outfit :) Colin slapped me in the arm with one of those icky socks.
Martin "Clearly" count: Twenty-Eight

Tuesday I had cross country, but I was really dehydrated because I had to take a smaller bag that couldn't fit my water bottle because I have this weird lump on my collarbone that is just where the straps of my bag rest and if I move them anywhere else they either shift back or my bag falls off my shoulder. Anyways, I was all dehydrated so I didn't run much.
Martin "Clearly" count: Twenty-Six

Wednesday I had work, and I received my first complaint. Asshole. I don't feel like typing it all out, but the general gist is that the guy was way to quick to condemn me, especially if he didn't realize that I was with a customer at the time, and also there's no way for me to know that there's someone waiting at the front cash for help if he doesn't ask them to page one of us. Honestly.
Martin "Clearly" count: Fourteen, because we spent half an hour talking about HDTVs.

Today I had a meeting with Ms Gardnner after school that was supposed to take approximately forty-five minutes, but ended up taking two hours. She gave me a lot to think about, which I would have done, but I had a shitload of homework tonight.
Martin "Clearly" count: Only fifteen. I suppose he just wasn't really in the mood.

Is that a yes or an if?

I haven't been updating because I've been working late and school and everything, but soon I will have a quick update on the past week. I'm watching Saturday Night Live right now, and I'm going to be waking up at five to hopefully watch some rugby.

Aww, hell, I'll do it now.

Monday was lazy and I didn't do anything.

Tuesday I met with Mikhael at Starbucks and we hung out at school for hours before we had to actually be there. Because of that we got first pick of my advisory's (sorry, phoenix's) lockers, and scored a green one, four lockers away from the old one.

Me and my new locker:





I had work after, and every evening until Friday I closed with Kailey.

Wednesday was the first day of classes and it was long and tedious.

Thursday in math I started a Mr Martin "clearly" count that I will continue for the rest of the semester. On Thursday he said "clearly" twenty-two times.

Yesterday's "clearly" count was thirty-seven. It helps me concentrate, you know. We had the obligatory beginning-of-the-year assembly, where Beckie was mildly embarrassed for wearing a low-cut shirt and I received a great right arm massage.

Today I went over to Mikhael's, where we played tennis and on swings, and did an art project.

Tomorrow I am buying running shoes, going to Bard on the Beach (Julius Ceasar) and going to dance.

Other possible titles for this post:

Stuck with Fish
Because everyone needs a locker walrus (And my locker WILL have a locker walrus, come Monday, if I remember)
Veal Numbers
You've gotta be nutsos
I need to massage my bread

Strippers in Stereo

Well, it's official that school starts tomorrow: I turned on my school-time alarm again.

---------------------------------------------

Friday started off with a trip to Grace, who was very excited to see me again. She gave my hair a trim, added some texture, and nearly bankrupted herself because of the amount of product she put in my hair. Mom and I went bra shopping and ate Japanese in the Coquitlam Centre food court. We walked through H&M, but mom didn't seem as excited as I was, so we didn't stay long. Beckie and I have agreed that as soon as we both have a Sunday off we're spending it at H&M.

I had work that evening. It was actually quite peaceful closing, but I was exhausted and the family was late picking me up.

Saturday I worked again. Despite there being a giant sale on, it was pretty slow. I wasn't feeling very well for the first couple hours, but then Mikhael came to buy things and I forgot about that and my boredom. He bought me Timbits and a Coke, despite the fact that I specifically requested an iced tea, then came over for an hour to pick beans.

Yesterday Erin and I watched Whose Line is it Anyway? Sketches on YouTube and ate Annie's. I put the top part of my hair in little pigtails to keep it out of my face and ended up looking like something out of Dr Seuss, but I didn't mind one bit.

Today I watched the entire last season of Canada's Next Top Model on Citytv. Nobody I want to win ever wins.

Oh, and we watched two movies this weekend. The first one was Blades of Glory, because the rest of the family hadn't seen it yet. We watched most of the bonus features after, something we never do. The second one was He Died with a Felafel in his Hand, and it was seriously fucked. Something about all of those manic-depressive Australians just didn't sit with me.
