It was stressful. Fun, but stressful. In the beginning, we got off our bus and walked in the door. I kind of wish someone would have told me that the floor we walk into is the second floor, because I was under the impression that it was the first. So I go to what I think is my locker, and what do ya know, it's open! So I put all my stuff in the locker, shut it and try to open it. IT DOESN'T OPEN! Crazy right? So after five minutes, I look at the full number on the locker and it says '2-225.' Then I look at my sheet and it says, '1-225'..... damn.
Then we went to 'Link Crew' who's job was to welcome us to Armstrong. I got called out of the crowd to come and be in a relay where i popped a balloon against a girl's belly with my belly. But the balloon fell, and it looked really awkward.
After that, nothing too eventful happened. It was just pretty stressful, trying to get to all my classes and that stuff. Then me and David missed the bus, so we had to catch a ride with Victoria, my junior friend. So it worked out I guess.
Today was much better than yesterday. I kinda knew where I was going, and had a better feel for everything. My lunch group is pretty good. I don't really have a set table yet, but I know a lot of people, so it leaves my options open.
It's an experience.

End of a Chapter
These past three years have been absolutely fantastic. I've made so many new friends, and I have changed in so many ways. If I had the chance to go back and do it all again, I wouldn't change a single thing. My friends and I have have gone through good and bad, but look back and realize that it was all worth it. We learned so much, and were changed so much.
Things I've learned:
-don't let yourself get walked on
-stand up for what's right no matter what people say
-don't blend in, but don't try to be different; be yourself no matter what people think
-be kind to everyone, because what goes around comes around; karma
As the sun sets tonight, so does an era of growing. But when it rises tomorrow, so begins a new day, a new chapter in life. I have no visions, no expectations, simply because I'm willing to take whatever high school throws at me, and more importantly, I'm ready to deal with it.
Goodnight, and have a wonderful day tomorrow.
May your eyes be opened by the sunlight.

Orientation
We had orientation today, it was splendid. I got my schedule, I'll post it some other time. It doesn't seem that I have to many classes with my friends, or at least the ones I've talked to today. I guess we'll see :P
I'm going camping tomorrow with Timmy. I forget where, but there will definetley be a long, picture filled blog on Saturday or Sunday, depending on when we get back, describing every second of our excellent adventure.
By the way, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is a hilarious movie. I saw like, half a year ago, and it's freakin sweet. I don't really wanna describe it, but you should definitely get it sometime.
See yall on Saturday :D

1 WEEK OF SUMMER!
I have exactly one week till I start high school! This is nuts. I'm actually really excited, except for that whole learning part. I've been told that Armstrong is pretty much a magical party, except for that damn learning, humph.
I guess if my life were a book, Monday would end the middle school chapter of my life. So since I don't really have a book yet, here's my tiny middle school passage:
Through the gates of Sandburg I walked that sunny day in September. My friends and I were all eager. We had all attended the orientation, but nothing could have really prepared us for this. Our eager smiles, bright polos, and heavy backpacks filled with hopes immediately clashed with the angst filled hallway.
The first week was a blur. Forget my locker combo a hundred times, get lost way too much, get yelled at for running for fear of being late to class, and having to deal with all the smart ass seventh and eighth graders. We made friends and enemies, but mostly friends. People cliqued with others immediately. I was a GEEK!
Seventh grade rolled around and nobody was nearly as nervous. Almost everybody, including myself, had found there cool. While everybody else had to go through braces, I didn't. WOOHOO! I ditched the pink muscle shirt and Hawaiian tshirts, and became alot more comfortable with my surrondings. I went out with a girl for the third time, except I'm pretty sure that we were in love for a while. The teachers taught us not only the curriculum, but also things about people. It was a year of growth, sexual exploration, and puberty.
By the time we were in eighth grade not much had really changed, except for my voice. We were all a bit more mature, with better humor and more developed taste in music; nobody listened to Crazy Frog anymore. I dated around that year: Dana, Sabina, Charlotte, and Emi. And I really didn't care what people thought about my dating habbits, because I loved every minute of it, except the akward break ups. People formed opinions, and our cliques got smaller. In sixth and seventh grade I was friends with everybody. In eight grade, I was friends with a lot of people, but I had a main group I hung out with. Everybody became more exclusive I guess.
Now it's the last week of summer, and everybody's ready for high school. It's going to be a long fucking road.

Well...
So, my phone is broken, which sucks cuz i didn't do anything. Turns out it has technical problems, so I'm getting a replacement by the 18th.
The only other thing signifagant about this week is that we're putting my dog down tommorrow. I'm really sad. I've never actually had life without Kali (that's her name). She's been here ever since I can remember. However, her quality of life is pretty bad. She's 75% blind, almost completely deff, has back problems, skind conditions, and has problems with her bladder and such. Not to mention that if she lived in the wild, she would be dead by now. But God I am going to miss her alot. I guess it takes the bad times to recognize the good ones.
:(

It was wierd 8-/
When I was boarding home from work, I saw this guy when I was like twenty feet away from him. Charectaristics: shirtless, black, and muscular. I find that whenever you see someone you should smile at them; it's really akward to try and not look at them once you've made eye contact. I think he thought I was smiling because I was scared or something cuz he gave me this wierd look. But then when I rode by him, he growled at me! He fucking growled at me! Who does that?
