Le Francais, S'il Vous Plait - 8.30.2011

I woke up this morning and emailed the head of the language department for my school system, just because I wanted him to get an email from 2am his time.

He never responded to my first email about when I would take my French exam, so that was what my query was. Turns out, my test is on Thursdau. That is, September 1st.

Crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap.

Not that I haven't studied. I've studied like a boss. I know everything on the list. I'm just worried. But before I worry more about French, let's talk about today.

Around noon we went to this store that was basically what would have been the product of Target and Cosco (Costco?) having a baby, only instead of picking and choosing the genes, they just combined into a massive store with the genes of both parents. It was quite a boss place. I got myself a planner for 9th grade, because while the Middle School gives you assignment books (basically planners), the High School doesn't. And without a concrete log of my assignments (and whether or not I've done them), I would have regular panic attacks. In fact, even with my planner, I sometimes freak out over not handing things in I handed in days ago.

I also bought a lot of candy. I dearly hope the airport security won't stop me because most of my carry-on is candy. It was all too heavy to put in my suitcase. q.q

Thennnn...we came home and I killed some time on the internet and then we ate. I love the internet, did you know? I was quite happy today, just being on the internet. :D

More internet, more internet, found out about French test, procrastinated on internet while occasionally studying.

My mom and I walked to Aldi at one point, where she bought some chocolate.

And that was basically it. More internet and studying. I also finished Drop Shot by Harlan Colban. I hope that's his name. I already packed the book, and I'm too lazy to Google it. It was a fairly good book. Not excellent like Hour Game. I think I prefer serial killer books to one-or-two-murder books. Just more interesting, I guess. This one had it's share of events, but it dragged for me in a lot of places. Also, it wasn't well edited. I found a handful of typos and things, which was annoying to me. When I post a chapter on fanfiction and it has an error or two, that's fine, because I'm one person who edited it, and it also isn't a concrete thing--I can change it and replace the chapter with the edited one. But when multiple people read over a work and then publish it on paper and can't change it anymore and there are errors, that doesn't fly with me.

So, now for my French panic attack. Excuse me while I go through my list with you to make sure I know things. There are no accents on words; I apologise, but I can't go looking up every symbol and I don't know the shortcuts.

NO TIME, MUST STUDY.

I'm Going To Get Lost in High School - 8.29.2011

Apparently, last night my cousins' cat came in and tried to sleep on my stomach. Unfortunately, my mom kicked her out and closed the door. DX

So, today, I woke up.

And then I ate breakfast.

WHOOO. INTERNET. WHOOO. Unfortunately, my cousins' router likes to turn itself off at random times, which makes doing stuff difficult. But still. It's, like, internet.

At one point while the router was off, I did some French-studying. Made a short rap about possessive adjectives, and another about feminine buildings and locations. I'm so cool. XD Apparently, one of the other kids who was studying over the summer took the test today, while no one responded to my email about it. Boooo. I also missed orientation today. Buhbuhbuh.

We went out for lunch, where I ate a massive pork chop covered in sauce and a side of french fries with a glass of Fanta.

Then we came home...

MORE INTERNET, WHOOO.

Then we (that is, me, my mom, my aunt, my uncle) went into town and I spent all my Euros, plus some of my uncle's Euros, on a new bag and wallet. They're just so cute. I couldn't resist. ._.

We ate ice cream~ :D

Then we came home again.

MORE INTERNET, WHOOOOOO. XD

Me, my cousin, my other cousin, and one of my cousin's friends went bowling. I'm awful at bowling, as it so happens. And I drank an awful Virgin Colada. The one I had at Arizona Pizza was much better. Anyway, I may be awful at bowling, but I happen to be quite good at air hockey. we played two-on-two air hockey, which was fantastic. Then we got take out pizza at this place where my cousin used to work, so everyone was super nice and they all knew him.

Though they messed up one of our orders, and we ended up with a tunafish pizza. XP

Then we played Super Smash Brothers Brawl, which was especially fun because my brother sold our copy of it. -.-

And then more internet. I recently realized (meaning a few minutes ago) how much I truly love Tumblr. I don't know how I lived without it for so many dies. However, a Tumblr post just scared me pretty bad, and now I'm afraid to go shower. But I have to go shower, because I'm a neat freak. So I guess I should go shower.

"We're talking about how we miss being young and playing Pokemon all day."

"...I still do that."

Being a kid is awesome. Unfortunately, my French comes first. BON NUIT~ (I think that's good night...don't hold me to that...XD)

Snore - 8.28.2011

"Where are we going?"

"To brunch and then to Something-Land."

"Well, I'd better put my hair up if we're going to Something-Land."

Today me, my mom, my uncle, my aunt, my two cousins, and my cousin's girlfriend all set out for Phantasia Land, a rollar coaster-theme park deal.

Before entering the park, we went to the Hotel Ling Bao, which is on the grounds, and ate from a massive brunch buffet. In one sitting I ate mini sausages; bacon; a mini roll with cheese and tomato; a mini croissant; some meat; some teriyaki meat; white rice; pinapple; grapefruit juice; chicken nuggets; french fries; ketchup; sparkling water; a waffle with kiwi jam and pineapple; a waffle with mango jam, chocolate sprinkles, and watermelon; a bowl of watermelon; a handful of gummy bears; a stick of cotton candy; and a few sips of a 10-fruit juice.

The key to the kids buffet is walking in like you own the place.

I ate a fortune cookie, and my fortune was, "A flirt excites you." Minutes later, a dragon winked at me during a show. Then an attractive asian man came out with a whip and had some fun with the dragon. That was intentional, get your mind out of the gutter.

Rides, rides, rides. Roller coasters, roller coasters, roller coasters.

Nothing super-mega-note-worthy to mention, really. They had this new ride thing that was kind of cool called "Maus au Chocolat" where you had this shooter thing and you shot the mice and it was in 3D and you got points and this is boring for you, I know.

I'm tired, bro.

So like, today I ate ridiculous amounts of food and then went on a ton of roller coasters. And now I'm tired. I had fun today, but I'm also ready to go home.

And I'm also tired.

COOL STORY, BRO. TELL IT AGAIN, BRO.

I had things I wanted to say. But I'm tired.

I Am Not Whining, I Am Complaining - 8.27.2011

Something I forgot to mention yesterday:

I quoted Rarity to my mom. 8D

Today~

I was going to rejoice my having internet, but while I was beginning my frolick through the interwebs, the connection disappeared and it won't come back. Boo.

Anyway, when I woke up this morning, it was another picture-perfect beach day. However, I had to pack my last few things and eat and then await our departure to the airport. We took a taxi there, leaving behind my sister and grandmother.

Airport security was tighter than any other place on this trip. They had me take my darling netbook out of my bag and ran it through the machine three times, as well as opened and inspected it. What did my dear ever do to them? -snuggles netbook-

Then we sat in the gate area for an hour and a half ish. They announced the gate we were going to depart from, then they changed their minds and had us switch to the gate that was going to Stockholm. There was a mad dash as the Stockholm and Dortmund flights switched places, which I thought was rather funny.
And then some woman had some sort of panic attack or asthma attack or something. ._.

I got some sleep on the short flight, apparently sleeping through the bout of turbulance that we encountered. I assume that was when I drooled all over my iPod. Grosssss.

Getting luggage, driving, driving, driving.

Right. -clap- So we made it to Casa My Uncle. We ate dinner and then went to Kaufland, because they needed to and my mom and I wanted to buy German candy. Which I bought lots of. :D My suitcase is so pleasantly full of foreign candies. It makes me happy inside.

Then...nothing else exciting happened. The weather has been cloudy, sunny, sprinkly, and rainy since we got here. Good ol' German weather. We watched some of my uncle's black and white (and then some fuzzy color) home movies. My high-school-senior-brother misses his mom. I believe we may be going to the amusement (you have no idea how long it took me to spell that; I kept try "amusant," which is French) park tomorrow. ^-^

NOW GIVE ME MY INTERNET, YOU HO.

0D

PoKEMON StATSHey, guess what? Shut up.

P.S. I've had Hey Molly by Mike Lombardo stuck in my head for days. I want to buy it. As well as Fuck You by Cee Lo Green. I'm usually not a mainstream person, but it's damn catchy. Oh snap. XD
