paying my dues

I suppose I owe a post... Ya it's been a while. It was definitly madness here for a while. We did manage to pull off the Terry Fox. So that was awesome. Only mess up... the bus driver decided to over sleep or something, totally not our fault. But we fixed it. I'm very proud of us. ya... Anyway, enought about my boring NHS stuff. I do have another life!!
Drinking! I've definitly turned into the keeper of the alcohol for Vermont. I currently have 3 bottles of passoa, a bottle of gin, two bottles of shnapps and a sampler thing of grappa under my bed... Ya. I know, you dont' have to say it.. You've trained me well... Anyway, I'd love to write more, but I have massive french homework to do... Ya so if any of you haven't read Les Miserables, dont' it's not worth it. It sucks... really, I'm going to fail french because of it... really... ya anyway.
Miss you guys!
You're Alcoholic friend
(who's totally psyched for drinking permission!!)

Tasty Worms

So, I'm sitting in my room, on my bed, listening to the beatles...and writing a blog. My dad comes in today and will be here for a month, so I'll be forced to spend time with him. At least I live in a dorm so I won't be at home all the time. He tends to get annoyed easily and as all of you know...yea, I'm annoying. I don't like it when daddy yells at me...it gives me low self-esteem. Haha.

So, I guess I have friends. I'm getting over the initial sense of being unwanted. I believe I am at least, which is good enough right? You guys on the other hand make me feel unwanted! I've called three different people and no one answers the phone! I gave up after that. Oh yea, I saw Sarah Gaylord on Saturday. I took her to the mall with my mom, grandma, and me. She wasn't too obnoxious. It was good seeing someone from school.

I've had quite a few quizzes and tests so far. I always feel like I did crappy and then miraculously I get the results back and I did pretty damn well. I'm so confused. I must be doing something right, I just don't know what it is that I'm even doing. Kinda sucks. I miss Sharp's aboce 100% grading system, lol.

I'm never going to get over how many pretty girls there are here...and I mean that in a derogatory term. From now on 'pretty' is a bad thing, like slut. Just use gorgeous, attractive, or something else. There is no such thing as a nice 'pretty' girl. They steal nice guys and then throw them away, and the nice guys always run back to them. I know I'm making no sense, so ignore me. Just venting a slight uncomfortable frustration.

Anyway. Courtney, I feel like I'm in junior-high the way I act around and about guys. It sucks. I think I'm the only one here who can count how many boyfriends I've had on one hand. Chris, did you get that other job? And about spring break, my boobs will be no one's pillows without my permission. And no random chicks in the tent dammit. ;) Justin, I love playing phone tag with you. Sorry for bothering you so often. Liz, we're making jello shots tonight. I'll be thinking of you. Katie, you can do it. If I can, there is no reason you can't. You guys helped me more than you realize. Paul, I still don't know whether to drive over there. I want to go...I don't want to drive 6 hours by myself. Maybe if you help pay for gas...hmmm. Lauren, I talk to you online, lol. Why junior year for that break? Senior year definitely makes sense to me, lol. Because I graduate in December. Heather, you'll figure it out. Glad you're having fun.

A Voice through the Fog

Hey!
Ya sorry it's definitly been a while since I've updated... Couldn't be bothered! Hehe, just kidding. It's been insane busy. Heather was here, she left this morning. It was the long weekend, which was awesome! We went to Zurich, chilled, got drunk on the lord's day. It was fun. Ya... hehe.
Now I'm back and have a million things to do. It's fun! I was supposed to turn in a Sharp essay today. Definity didn't. I'm working on it though, it was the Herakles essay. My creative twist? I'm being ridiculously sarcastic, well I'm writting it more informal. Ya so that's not very original. Hehe, oh well fuck it. I was failing french, just came back to extra help, I've managed to pull my grade up from a 69% to a 74% oh ya baby. Still really worried about failing french and then the IB test and then the diploma... So ya, that's fun.
We've got an NHS hockey game coming up this Thursday... That's fun, I'm excited, but I keep thinking of all the stuff I have to do for that. But then, it's Terry Fox which is even more work. That's even more fun. It's so much work! Lynsey, I have no idea how you did it. Seriously. It's been fun so far though, Mr. Davidov's been pissing me off. He's in love with Charlie, which is funny and cool at the same time. The problem is, he can't look past her to see Priscilla, NHS president and the one running half the show, or see me who's in charge of advertising. I think he just forgets everything anyone else tells him. All he remembers is Charlie's doing something. It's annoying cus I keep telling him stuff, and then he posts on FirstClass that he needs to talk to 'whoever's doing the advertising' when I've told him that 10 times and I've come into class everyday asking him about posters etc. It's annoying! But I'll yell at him tomorrow... it'll be fun!
Hmm, what else... um, getting annoyed with Steph W a little. I love the girl, but I'm a little sick of hearing about how confused she is between all the guys who love her when my love life consists of me hooking up with a bloody junior during family trips... hehe, you know I just realised how weird it is, cus he's 16 and I'm 18... Ya anywya...
Ok, fun things... we got our MUN country, we're Coromos, the most random country ever... it's just off the coast of Africa, sorta by Mozambique. Still not sure if I'm going to the Hague this year, but I really hope so! I wanna go back! It was so much fun... ya...
Ok i really am brain dead right now, which is fun cus i still have to do my homework... ya it's all good...
Miss you guys so much!
Love
Katie
PS. Paul, looked on yearbook computer, couldn't find it, I'll just make something in Word...
PPS. Paul, how do you make tickets in Word?
