well, I am now fully in charge of forming the fencing club. My "partner" just informed me *after three weeks of no communication* that he will be "letting me take over." Thanks, buddy!! grrr. Not that I don't want to work with the fencing club, but it's not like i don't have other stuff to do as well. anyway. yeah. so more stress for Bizzy!
On the bright side, I got my first art commision the other day! yay! that was exciting. wel, i'm off to break my fast. i Chir hebin a galu pan!
well, I went to the COTN intern training camp last weekend. it was so much fun!-and rather convicting. I realized that this trip is going to require more effort than I was previously wanting to give, and that's not the best attitude towards a time of service. change of heart, now i'm going to be spending lots more time working to raise money and supplies for the trip, and more time just plain getting myself ready mentally! I mean, i'm going to spend two months basically as a servant/teache
SO, now i've meet seven of the ten Americans that i will be living with for two months while in the DR. Looks like it's going to be quite a team!
anyhoo, prayers for the team are always appreciated, and if anyone has any connections to free craft supplies, please let me know! :P

Crud, i have a spanish exam tomorrow that I SO don't want to study for. I can pass it right? yes? okay! no studying for me!! I feel like i want to say something very profound...but nothing's comming to me. ah, well. on to latin and art history...Adie

Who knew playing could be so painful!! I only got up on the wakeboard twice yesterday, and prompty crashed, and now I can't move! oh, life is so wonderfully unfair! anyone out there want to write my papers for me? please? no? *sigh* okay...what about go to Latin class for me? any takers? none there either...drat!
well, i'm off to take over the world...after I take a nap.
i Chir hebin a galu pan!
ha! my grandparents spoil me so much. it's so easy! anyway. yeah, that's about it. lovely sunshine. i'm drawing hamlet and i can't get his face right and its bugging me. oh well. hasta luego!

today is a wonderful day. for many reasons. not the least of which is that sunshine.
i Chir hebin a galu pan!
o HO! i got into a sarcasm duel with Yoda over IM last night and it was SO fun!! and it was so very very close! we didn't really pick a winner, cuz we both had to run, but at least he finally dubbed me a "Master of Sarcasm." Which I was very pleased with.
the only bad thing is that it's so fun, i frequently have to stop myself from using it on others who would not just take it in and dish it back out like Yoda and Chelsea and Kairanie. hooo, dear!
eeegads! i have so much homework! why oh why!won't they let me in my spanish class? at least art history is interesting and cool! ack. well, seeing as I still ahve homework in tres sujectos tengo que ir y hacer lo. aiya! ya estoy hablando espanol y nadie me comprende. que bueno, bizzy! y en el medio de un oracion tambien. estoy tan bueno, si? oi ve!

History final was not as hard as I feared. just as easy as the mid term, with twice the time to do it in! yay! and my english final was positively fun! really, it was great! and i got extra credit to! wOo-HoO! yay for remembering so many English kings and their sons!! fascinating.

Hidalgo is an awesome movie! futons are very fun and comfy. and turtles are huge trouble makers!!! You wouldn't expect it of a turtle, would you? but yes, turtles do cause all kinds of trouble!! my sisters turtle, Torty, decided last night that she was going to hide herself in the deepest darkest corner of the rec-room and make us spend nigh'on half an hour lookin for her little green hide!!! silly toitle!
Yay! I got mods choice today!! Thanks are due to Kairanie, for her initial vision of the character 'Frost', without which, I could not have written the story that everyone likes so much.
okay, today is just really good. It's so happy, i really don't want to write my english paper...but here i go.
i Chir hebin a galu pan!
Weeeeeh!!! I just watched Spirited Away for the first time, and I am now a seriousl fan of Hayao Miyazaki. If you haven't seen any of his movies, go rent one! they're amazing!! and I thought Princess Mononoke was good!
eeeish, I wish I'd seen this earlier!
and my mom says anime isn't art...
never let anyone tell you archery isn't a contact sport...

haaa...mmmm, for the first time in two weeks, I don't feel extremely tired! amazing..yay! and now i really want to draw, but i shouldn't even be on here as I ahve two papers to write, and i really should be working on them...what happened to me scholastic dedication?! It all left! it's gone! I'm just not as dedicated to school as i used to be. How sad.... Latin is still amazing though...we think we've convinced the professor to through a toga party near the last day. That class is the best class EVER, except maybe AP english, physics or gov., those were fun too..hehe. Yes, i AM a geek!
okay, if I can be seriously happy after a day like today, I must have some kind of freakish mental disorder, because today really should have absolutely sucked. got up SO early to register, was totally cheated out of my classes, and then found out later that the term paper I was sure was due next Thursday, was due today, at five. I may by good, but not even I can write a seven page paper in half an hour!! so um,yeah, and I still had a great day!! i don't know what's wrong with me, but hey, i'm not really complaining! I see no problem in being impossible to depress....
pues, la escuala ha me robado de me clase de espanol dosciento y tres, una ves mas. Tengo el credito para la clase, pero, es credito del examen de AP, entonces no me dejaran registrar hasta dos semanas de hoy, y la clase solomente tiene casi tres puestos, y por eso no hay una posibilidad realmente que podre tomar la clase, porque estara lleno. Ojala que tuvieran mas clases, O que acepten credito AP en total el dia que los recibieron.
este verano, quando voy al caribe, no voy a recordar nada de me espanol, por que, aun ahora, no he tomado una clase, ni una conversacion, desde junio pasado.
me gusta esta escuela, pero a veces, me hace enojado, y esto no me gusta.
Quel fara!
*sigh* having never given anythign up for lent, and also realizing that i really need to cut back on art time to do my term papers, i tried to give up drawing for a month. it didn't work. it was 11:30 pm, i was in my room, alone, bored, exhausted, and sick to death of homework having done nothing else all day. and so i read a chapter from HP, and then drew two fan pic, which i really really like!! hehe...*hugs sirius, oogles harry* now all i need are some colored pencils....hmm
eish. i have a serious art addiction...
quel fara!
