it's a hard-knock life

today is friday (yeah!) and here are the last three days of my life in abstract...
wednesday - had two finals: español and america since 1945....they were ok. let me rephrase that - spanish wasn't so good at all, but i have decided that it is not a big deal and that i don't really care how i did since it is now over. i didn't think 45 was too hard -which is really good since i didn't study a whole lot because i was working on my bio lab all day on tuesday........AHHHHHH! that wasn't fun because i didn't finish it until about 6pm (i had been working on it since monday and noon when i got home) when i just kinda declared myself done...i'll just take the 50 points that i will lose for not doing a section...ah well. woe to me. but then my grandma came in from boston - very good news!! i love nana! anyway, i no longer have a room since she invaded but that is ok. obviously i have survived.
thursday - nay 26 is my little brother's birthday - he just turned 5! anyway, we threw him a party - sorta a the incredibles theme, but mostly not. anyway, there were about 13 little 3-5 year olds at my house for 3 hours yesturday = fun! at least they were very cute. lol. i love little kids, but i would never be able to handle more than 1 at a time, and sometimes even that is a little iffy. i have a HUGE respect for anyone who can babysit/teach preschool and kindergarden aged children. wow. anyway, that was fun but very tiring. i took like a 4 hour nap that afternoon. haha. in the evening, i went to honors night...yeah! everybody be proud of me because (up to this point anyway...not so sure about 4th quarter...) i am going to graduate with first (A) honors...yes!! i am just too damn smart. lol.
friday - i was dreading today because my dad kept insisting that i had to go and get my car tested (emissions test and all that). and i really really didn't want to because i have this huge fear of the unknown! but i did it on tuesday...ok, should you be interested - there's nothing to it. you wait in your car in a line for about 1/2 hour (well you do if you catch the lunch crowd like me!) and then do exactly what they tell you to do: stop the engine, turn off the car, step out of the car etc. (ie. pretty basic stuff). well that was a breeze except that my car's gas cap failed. i guess it was emitting toxic wastes into the atmosphere. so i had to get that replaced = another scary experience!! i really was afraid of the dodge dealership because that is where we bought my car and then towed it there 5 mo. later after my accident (ouch!). but it all worked out really well. the gas cap takes all of 30 seconds to fix, and then my car successfully passed!! yeah!! oh another thing completely unrelated...should you be curious about "little black book"...i didn't really like it. the last scene was the only really good one...twas funny! but the rest i didn't like. ok this is enough for now because it's only like a bajillion words long. talk to you later!!
sleepily yours,
