alternate title for this post:

hasn't this year gone by unbelievably fast so far?

si senior.

A1 - French 1. Because learning languages is one thing i'm actually pretty good at, and I figure I'm making half my ancestors proud by learning it. On the first day, my teacher pronounced my french last name wrong. Good one. Whatever, I really like him.

A2 - AP US History. I love history. Love it love it. And a smile is permanently glued on my face because Newman is so hilarious.

A3 - Film Literature. My first thoughts on entering that classroom: this is Divination. The overhead lights are off; there are just a bunch of lamps. Rugs, curtains, shelves, real furniture, the works. Oh, and it smells good in there. Then Mr. Deans started talking and I could help but think of...

"My name is Professor Trelawney. You may not have seen me before. I find that descending too often into the hustle and bustle of the main school clouds my Inner Eye. . . .
So you have chosen to study Divination, the most difficult of all the magical arts. I must warn you at the outset that if you do not have the Sight, there is very little I will be able to teach you. Books can take you only so far in this field. . . ." pg 102-103, harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban.

Well, I love movies. So I'm thinking I'll like that class, even if it's a little non-traditional.

A4 - Seminary. I got Taggart. That's who I wanted.

B1 - Orchestra. Walking into that class on the first day was like walking into a bad dream. Oh well, orchestra is what it is.

B2 - Radio 2. I like talking on the radio. If you live in Utah county (and pretty soon salt lake county too), you can listen to my show on Mondays from 4:00-5:30 pm. On 88.1 fm. You will love it. And I'm kind of the president of the radio club. Cool.

B3 - Advanced Video/Broadcasting. Which I love. Because editing videos is my favorite thing to do. Especially during school. It's my third year in that class, but I think this year will be my favorite.

B4 - Popular Literature. We read books and talk about them. Awesome. And Gallagher is super cool. And I have friends in there.

Notice: no math or science. love that.

my mom made butterbeer today

in the cups from harry potter world (yeah, we saved them).

so delicious.

it made me kind of homesick..

we went. and she was awesome.

I think every girl wants to be her, and every guy wants to marry her.

you guys, i speak french now.

ask me how to say any number from zero to 29.

wishing your life away is really uncool.

If I could have three wishes today, they would be this:

1 - I wish that I was 5' 6".
2 - I wish I had unlimited itunes money.
3 - Genie, I wish you free.

nothing much to say right now.

but i think i'll go hang out here instead of at school tomorrow.

birthday boy.

he's cool.

he has an icecream truck, can ride a unicycle, and plays the digeridoo.

not a big goal-setter.

i suppose the new school year is when a lot of people set goals. so, i could set a bunch of goals right now that will help me have a spiffy year..



-get up on time.
i've proven this one to be impossible eleven times over. i can get up on time for the first two or three months. but gradually, i start getting up later and later throughout the year. by may, i'm getting up 10 minutes before school starts. happens every year.
so i won't set that goal.


-be organized.
ha. i don't think i can be organized. all my papers are somewhere in my backpack, and that's all i need to know. folders are for sissies.
i won't set that goal either.



i'm not really into setting goals like that and i'm not exactly sure why. but there are things i want to do this year... i guess we can call them goals.



-limit myself to wearing one baggy sweater/sweatshirt per week
-join the rest of society by watching all three lord of the rings movies
-get a pen pal
-do my yoga dvds. like twice a week.
-read northanger abbey, emma, persuasion, and mansfield park
-hang out at ky's apartment more than i did last year

back to school this week. i feel like i've done this a million times. and i'm ready to be done.

harry potter world: part 7

one time, i was waiting in line to ride the hungarian horntail at harry potter world. there were two strangers in front of me. part of their conversation went as follows:

A: what the heck is a muggle anyway?
B: i think it's a little creature or something...
A: i have no idea what any of the stuff here means, but it's pretty cute.

they should have been kicked out of hogsmeade.

here's a lil sneak peek at harry potter world: part 8... inside of hogwarts. get excited.

harry potter world: part 6

see all the wands stacked up in the window?and stacked to the ceiling on the inside.and a cute little wand cart as well. that place is my muse.

why make something disposable, like a building, when you can make something that will last forever, like a greeting card.

i had a dream within a dream last night. i've been waiting for that to happen since inception came out.
i haven't seen my sister for nearly 3 days. we live in the same house.
i don't like that spider that was in my shower, or the word "flan."

i like smelling fall in the air.

remember how i got a really good tan in florida? it all peeled off. my skin is the fairest of them all.

cool.
