Is it Saturday again?

Hello girls, I guess it's Saturday again! Welcome to my new weekly series:

Good things that happened to Sarah

- I forgot to tell you last week that I got my driving licence. If I can believe TV series, getting the driving licence in USA is much easier than here, so I'm really glad I finally made it! Driving is so much fun and you just feel so free! :D
- I passed the first exam of this semester with full points even though it was an oral exam (and I hate oral exams!).
- I bought new boots with high heels (I never really wear high heels) and a dress (I never wear dresses) and I WANT TO WEAR IT RIGHT NOW AND ALL THE TIME!
- How I Met Your Mother was really funny.
- I ordered and started to read The Hunger Games, because every other Nerdfighter did so there must be something about it.
- I made a new sleeve for my iPod with Pacman on it and it's soo cute (pictures follow).

Do we actually still have themes?

DFTBA,
Sarah

At the moment my ANTHEM is a very sad song

Howdy Girlies it be Thursday.  It is in fact still Thursday, being that it is only 8, but I do have to go pick a book for my essay so... let's make this quick.

I'll get straight to the point.  Well... I would if I did have a point, but I don't really so I'll just randomly jabber about pointless stuffs.

Today seemed very busy.  I'll list off some stuff:

• We had a sub in Health who was really tall and weird looking, we're learning about drugs, and I've realized that throughout most everything that I've learned in my education so far, drugs is something that I'm not familiar with AT ALL.
• We had a sub in Algebra and the sub helped me to realize that however terrible my teacher is (and she is hella terrible)  she is almost... alright.
• I had creative card making right after school.
• I decided that I didn't want to take the bus and instead went home with Katie.  They probably have police looking for me right now, but I didn't want to take the stinky bus so I don't really mind.
• I had a flute lesson.  
• I had to help mow my flute teacher's yard because I'm too poor to pay for lessons. :)
• I did my Algebra homework, and found it surprisingly easy.
• I think that my appendix burst, but I'm not sure.  I think that I'd probably be sure if it really had burst.

I have to go pick a book for my literary essay, and I have no idea what to choose.  I was going to do Anthem by... Ann Rankin?  (I can't remember who the author is.) But by the time I was done mowing my flute teacher's lawn it was already 7 and the library closes at 6 on Thursdays. 

In other unrelated news...  Eighth grade still sucks.  Yearbook is fun.  I got first chair flute.   Other than that though, I sort of kind of hate eighth grade.  I hope that high school is more fun.

Sorry to bore you, but I just could not think of anything interesting. Sorry lovelies. :)


DFTBA!  Hannah, I shall read you tomorrow.

Currently rereading: How to Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Currently listening: To my little sister practice flute.  It's fun to hear.  I mean... did I really use to be that bad?  :)
Currently stressed about:  My Algebra grade.  Why couldn't I have gotten one or two points higher on my test?  Then I'd have a straight A.  Minuses make me feel bad about myself.

The DMV and Math

Hey bloggers, it's Tuesday. So, I just remembered it was Tuesday about a minute ago. I wasn't even insanely busy today I'm just really stupid. But let's talk about what I did do today. First, I went to the DMV... so you know, *blows party blower*. Yeah, not so much. I had to go there today to get a Virginia driver's license because I've been cleverly avoiding it by continuing to use my Michigan license for two years. And while my old license is still legal till 2012, I'm 19 now and thus Virginia can't restrict my license because of my age, plus I would have had to do it eventually anyways. But anyway, nothing exciting happened there; I waited in line, I read some of "The Graveyard Book" and I took a horrendously bad picture. The end.

After that my day consisted of math homework, playing Super Mario and watching Youtube videos... so that was fun. But, I actually still have math homework to do and I have to work early tomorrow morning so I'm gonna go do that and cut today's blog a little bit short.

Emily, I'll read you tomorrow.

Hey girls, it's Sunday!
I hate Japanese class. I hate this class with a burning passion and one day I will kill everything that the Japanese language stands for. I don't know if y'all know the fundamentals of Japanese, but I will tell you.
There are three alphabets in Japanese (I KNOW! THREE??!! it's ridiculous!)
Hirogana - the normal and most used one. it's the first you learn
Katakana- the second one that you never quite understand why you need it. It's for American words to be Japanized.
Kanji- If I ever decide to kill myself, Kanji will be the reason why. This is the third alphabet. It literally never ends. It is complicated. You need to know the stroke order. And guess what, NO ONE KNOWS WHY YOU NEED IT! It's simply a more complicated version of words you could write in Hirogana or Katakana.

I will now teach you several helpful words and phrases in Japanese.

May I go to the bathroom?

わたしわおてあらいにいつてもいですか。

wa-ta-shi-wa-o-te-a-ra-i-ni-i-te-mo-i-de-su-ka

Hello. How are you?
こにちわ。どうですか。
ko-ni-chi-wa. do-u-de-su-ka


My name is Katie. What's your name?

 わたしわケイテイです。あなたわですか

wa-ta-shi-wa-ke-i-te-i-de-su. a-na-ta-wa-de-su

Now that may possibly look cool and fun, but that's the simplest it gets. I think this might be my last year of Japanese class. I really wanted to make it to AP, but I really don't like our new teacher because I can't understand her 50% of the time. 

Another thing that bothers me about Japanese: the verb "to like" is an adjective in Japanese....

Jasmine I'll read you tomorrow!

Meet the future Mrs. Doctor

Girls, I almost forgot to blog, but then half of you liked my Facebook status and I reminded myself. So finally Facebook did something good after keeping me from studying so often ;)
It's already Sunday here, but shhhh, don't tell anyone.

What happened that week?
I'm in 'university mode', that means I have no life except going to lectures and courses and study. I have dissection course everyday, so I'm cutting stuff off a corpse for two hours in the afternoon. That is actually very much fun, although no non-medicine student can understand that. In this course we are in groups of eight people and I was very very lucky to get together with eight very nice and funny people. Also my tutors are so nice and I'm very glad about it, because I heard stories about tutors abusing their power and just being total assholes. So overall I'm happy for a change and I don't even mind going their every day. Of course, all the studying sucks and I would happily skip all the exams, but I guess that's not an option.

I just scratched myself in the face. That hurts. Can you imagine that I have a scar on my leg because I scratched myself accidently with my fingernail?

I watched all the new episodes of all the new seasons of all the series, but so far I only really like Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother I like a bit.

Actually not much happened this week, at least nothing really interesting. So just have a nice weekend and DFTBA!

Dropping off of the face of the Earth

Hello girls I just realized that it is Friday!

Although most people who find this to be a bad thing seeing as it is almost 8 o'clock here it is actually a good thing because that means I am remembering to blog. YAH!!!!!!!

Anyways... I'm grounded so I'm not supposed to be using my computer for anything except homework but since I haven't blogged in a while I am considering this homework. Now I know what you're thinking. Why on Earth would Hannah be grounded? She is such a great person and could never do anything wrong. That is so nice of you but unfortunately that is not true. I'm grounded because I lied to my parents and told them that I finished all of my homework last weekend when I really hadn't. I did this because I wanted my boyfriend to come over. And so, my parents made me come up with my own punishment which is so much worse than having them come up with my punishment because I never know if I am punishing myself too much or not enough which makes me feel extremely guilty because I always assume its not enough. Although this time I think I did too much. I started my grounding on Tuesday and decided that I wouldn't unground myself until Sunday. My dad then modified the punishment to Sunday at 6 pm with no electronics except my computer only for homework. Which really sucks cause I had a bunch of stuff I wanted to do this weekend cause I have a four day weekend. And yes I do still have Monday to do stuff but that has only made things worse. Why you may ask. Well I will tell you. So I decided that since I am free on Monday I would go to see The Social Network with my boyfriend Ryan. I was talking to him about this on Thursday during a passing period while I was getting my books and we were both excited about it and the entire time my friend Katie was standing behind me. At the time I didn't really think it was a big deal but then after my photography class she wanted to talk to me. But really she wanted to confront me about the fact that I haven't been hanging out with her that much lately. And she then she brought up homecoming which was a low blow and was not a legit argument for her case cause I went with a date and there was no way she could come to dinner with us since it was just the the two of us. But anyways I can see where she is coming from but at the same time I don't think she is seeing my side of what is going on and is being a bit selfish. I mean I have swim team 6 days a week plus homework and student council and all of my new church responsibilities. I don't really have much free time and since I just started dating Ryan(my boyfriend) I kind of want to spend a bit more time with him. Plus when I'm hanging out with Katie all she talks about is herself and how she has all of these issues. She's always talking about how she has it so hard and how she is always sick. It's gotten old. And it really hurts to say but I don't think she as much of my friend as she thinks she is.

On to happier news. I have a boyfriend if you haven't already figured it out. His name is Ryan and he is awesome. He has the locker next to mine. That's how we met. We have absolutely zero classes together so if it weren't for the luck of having the locker next to him I don't think I would have ever met him. School actually did something good for me for once. We have a ton of stuff in common. Sometimes he likes to joke that we are the same person except that we just happen to be different genders. Anyways most of the time when we hang out we like to watch movies. One because movies rock and two because it involves dark rooms. Jk...... kinda. I don't have any pictures of him to post cause my computer is being mean so here is the link to has facebook page(please don't creep on him constantly, emily and katie already took care of that):  http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000909444400

I have no idea what the themes were before we stopped doing themes so yah but since almost everyone talked about procrastination last week I will tell you that I am currently procrastinating editing my english paper because all I have to do is change the sentence beginnings and I really hate doing that so if anyone wants to help me with that you know just tell me and I can send you a copy. I'm also really bad at the whole sentence beginnings things so..... yah. Oh and I love halloween and christmas and just this season in general. And I love oreos. And I am freaking out about college too. And ranting rocks.

Sarah I'll read you tomorrow!

Always the Purplest,
