FOOTBALL GAME!!!
So I said I was going to the game against WHS... and that we were supposed to win because it was an away game and RHS only wins away football games. Well, I got there 2 minutes after it started and the other team had already scored, not a good sign. By the third quarter we (the super fans from RHS) had given up on the chance of us winning, the score was 37-7. SO, we decided to make it super fun, for us, the cheerleaders, and all the RHS parents watching the game. We cheered the entire second half of the game, it was absolutely AMAZING! We did the banana a bunch, our color shout, AND, we sang our fight song about 20 times. Being a super fan was AMAZING! I got all decked out, face paint (half my face green, half yellow), my amazing yellow skirt, lime green soccer jersey, black leggings and my yellow PUMAS! yay for school spirit... too bad we lost. oh well, it was super fun being a super fan anyway!
Guess what day it is!
HOLA! it's saturday and once more i am here sitting at my desk. It's been an unusually slow day, at 1:00 I only answered the phone 7 times, and three of them were hang ups! It just makes my stats look a little better i guess, 2 jobs out of 7 phone calls! I guess two cool things have happened today:
1. There is a workout place across the parking lot. To workout there basically means you are going to workout in the parking lot. This is nice for us in the office here because we get to watch people work out, it's oh so nice. Every Saturday morning there is a woman who comes to work out. Her workout is this: Put baby in stroller, Walk around the parkinglot pushing baby in stroller, Go home. It's amazing! Oh, and she has her personal trainer walking around with her. Thats not the exciting thing though- today I saw a mom and her son go into the "gym" and guess what... they're from my ward! I was so excited to think that I'd get to watch people i know work out, but then i got busy doing data entry so I forgot to watch them.
2. This was an amazingly cool thing that happened. So last week I found an invoice for Les (and yes Val, I was thinking of the nickname you guys had for him when I wrote that... but I didn't think it was quite right to put it on here)... TODAY, I found an invoice for MOM! I was like, FLIP! Thats my mom! I got so excited! end of story.
Weird thing... For the last 4 days my left eye has been twitching. It's really getting annoying. Why does my eye twitch? How can I make the twitch go away? It's really starting to bug me, especially when 1) i'm driving and my eye starts going WACKO, 2) i'm at school reading... thats not good 3) i'm giving a presentation on bagpipes in music history. Oh man, my eye is really starting to bug me.

The Office
Writing about Megan calling me while I was working reminded me that I needed to write about THE OFFICE! I am SO in love with this show! Jim is by FAR my favorite character, well... Dwight is amazing too, but JIM! He's pretty much a babe and I LOVE him! Everybody needs to watch The Office, it's on Thursdays on NBC. For me it's at 8:30... I freaking LOVE IT! I watch it with Rach & Jess at the bishops house, pretty much the BEST unofficial laurel activity EVER! oh boy...
Well... I'm off to a football game against Woodinville... if their tradition keeps up, we'll win. Apparently our team is only good at away games. :D YAY!
BAGPIPES
Well, I know it's not Saturday yet, but I was in the mood to post! While reading Val's blog I noticed on her list of links it said "Janyse & Dennis" and I got really excited! After about 3 weeks of me telling Janyse to get a blog, SHE DID IT! Now mom will have 3 blogs to read... hoorah! If only we could get the others to join the party too. Speaking of Val's links... I feel like I know James's family super well, and I'm beginning to feel like Morgan is one of my nieces even though she's not! Aren't blogs amazing? oh man!
The purpose of me getting on here today was to write about Music History. We've been working on group projects about the different types of instruments, aerophones, chordophones, idiophones, membranophones and electrophones. My group was assigned to aerophones because my teacher knew that I play two aerophones... well, we concentrated our project on BAGPIPES because a guy in our school plays them. So today for our presentation, we had him come in and play a song for us. It was SO amazing, I think I want to take up the bagpipes now! It was super loud, so the best part was that all these random people kept walking by the room and stopping in front of the door to watch. We had our security guard, parking lot attendant, principal, the band teacher, and like half of the orchestra watching this performance. It was SO flipping sweet! oh mylanta!
On another note... yesterday was AMAZING! Megan called me while I was at work and we talked for almost half an hour. I think the other people in the office thought I was ridiculous because I was on the phone while I kind of did my work, but oh well. I LOVE it!

Saturday again!
Well... it's Saturday again, so I find myself sitting in front of a computer screen, waiting for the telephone to ring. However... today has been a little busier. It's 1:35 and I still have not played any games, instead I decided to work on the data entry project we're doing so that we can track what ads work. It's pretty crazy, I'm entering invoices from 2004... and guess what i found!!! The next door neighbor (les for those of you who know/care) had his door repaired by TDW! I love finding invoices for people I know, it pretty much makes my day!
This week has been pretty good! I found out that my Essential Question for my Culminating Project passed, my question is "What photography techniques go into creating a picture with personality and emotion; how can I create a photography portfolio that demonstrates these techniques?" well, atleast thats pretty much what my question is, I don't remember it off the top of my head.
This week I also watched Catherine for like 3 days, it was super nice to have 3 pay days in one week! I love having two jobs, and so does my bank account!
On a sad note... RHS lost to THE OTHER SCHOOL (Eastlake for you losers who don't know)... it was pretty bad. Well, not as bad as the Bothell game, that was just pathetic. The band sounded really bad too, nobody was watching the drum major, well atleast the trumpets weren't. I can only imagine that in band on Friday Ert yelled at the trumpets, but since i didn't go to school on Friday I have NO clue!
Can't think of anything else that's even somewhat exciting to say... so my friends, till next Saturday!

humanities
I've spent so many hours in the past week reading Sophie's World for Humanities. If anybody else has ever read it, does it ever get good? I guess we're only on like the 9th chapter, but I'm getting bored by it.
Other than Humanities, school has been fairly uneventful... I take that back, band has been slightly exciting. Tuesday night was our monthly Band Council Meeting (aka, me, Mr. Robertson, and about 10 parents). At it, the boosters announced that they're ordering BAND JACKETS! oh mylanta, I am SO excited!!!!!! We also decided to create a contest out of designing the pep band t-shirt. Whoever designs the winning shirt gets a giftcard to Red Robin. I'm so superly excited to see what people come up with.
I'm trying to think of other interesting things to blog about... Val has her adorable kids and pregnancy stories... I just go to school and work every day. I don't do a whole lot besides that, sorry for my disappointingly boring blog.
I think the one cool thing that happened during school this week was in Music History yesterday and today we did presentations. They were titled "My Favorite Song Presentation". We brought in a cd with one of our favorite songs, the class listened to it for 2 minutes, and then we briefly explained why it's our favorite. I chose a Waking Ashland song, since Megan and I listened to them the day before she left for the Y. It was really cool to learn what music everybody likes, we (Carly and I) were so wrong about what people listened to. We expected more rap, but so far only one student has brought in rap. We've had so much alternative music, I'm LOVING it! YAY for Music History!
Tonight I'm going to Steph's 18th bday party... only a month and a few more days til my 18th bday! HOORAY for BIRTHDAYS! HOORAY HOORAY! I'm so excited. We'll see how her party goes tonight, I'll blog about it tomorrow while I'm at work, since this is one of the few things I find entertaining while I'm at work.
I need suggestions for what to write my college application essay about, I'm struggling hardcore to come up with ideas. Oh I hate the thought of starting that bad boy, but it needs to get done so I can be all ready to apply when applications are available. ACK! I'm not really looking forward to applying to college, until the acceptance letter comes, those are always good!
Well... it's lasagna time, and then I'm off to the partay!

so i was wrong
I can see this as possibly the most addictive thing I've created. I'll have to limit myself to when I post, but I'll definitely update every Saturday while I'm at work. I'm still trying to figure the whole thing out, but I think I've got the basics down. I'll have to talk with Val to get the rest figured out!
School is a little more exciting than I admitted in that last post. My classes are crazy awesome except that I want to switch around Child Psych and Humanities. I want to be in child psych third period when the preschoolers have recess and snack time, thats the BEST part of the day! I don't have to deal with parents at all, no drop off or pick up like second and fourth have to deal with. My classes at school are ridiculously easy, except for humanities. This is my schedule:
1. Music History
2. Band
3. Humanities
4. Child Psych
5. Peer Coaching
second semester should be a little more difficult:
1. Pre-College Writing
2. Band
3. American Government
4. Aerobics
5. Peer Coaching
6. Creative Writing
We had advisory on Wednesday, I pretty much have chosen what I'm doing for my senior project (CP). I'm going to learn photography techniques and create a portfolio of my friends. I'll probably rope some of the fam into this project too, but since not very many live around, who knows how that will go.
Last night was the first home football game, against Bothell. 55 seconds into the game we KNEW we were going to lose. It ended up being 6-26, not so good for a first game. I showed up in my new spirit gear, lets just say VALUE VILLAGE is amazing! My bright yellow skirt (from Ann Taylor) and my lime green soccer jerzey (team name being Butterflies with Attitude) was pretty much amazing with my black leggings, green socks and yellow pumas. I can't forget my mardi gras beads, or my spirit scarf that I bought from the band boosters last year. And then of course, the amazingly ugly green purse! I have school spirit down to a t, I love showing off my green and gold! The pep band played really well, I was super proud of the sophomores. The amazing flute girl had a bunch of the songs memorized, but she always came to me to check to make sure she was playing well. I pretty much LOVE her!
Well... it's 2:30 now and work is over in an hour, maybe I'll start doing part of my closing routine. Yay for garage doors!

thought i'd start...
Janyse and I were talking on the phone today about how Val blogs and we love it, so we decided we'd get into the madness too. I'm sitting here at work, waiting for the phone to ring, and I'm talking with Katie about random stuff, like every Saturday. I love it here :D
Not a whole lot is going on, school started on Wednesday, I guess that's kinda cool.
