Weekend Events

After walking to Walnut Street and back with a brief rain shower (gotta love spring) we had to go pick up the TB from school. The students are currently in a war with the administration and Jessie, the security guard, over closing the gate to the driveway making us walk ALL THE WAY AROUND to our cars on K-Ave. Turns out their latest battle move has been to start closing the gate at 3:40 instead of 5:40 which is totally ridiculous because there are still people there at 3:40 but...enough about the evil administration. Here are some pics of attacking and beating the system.
TB running towards us:

Trying to hop over:

Open the gate!(that is my arm in the lower right):


Jessie the security guard coming over:

Then KB freaked out because Jessie had yelled at her before so she ran away...


...and hid behind a bush:

Jessie did open the gate after yelling at us.

Thursday Thirteen #2


Thirteen Things That Make Me Glad It's March


1. Spring Break is a little over a week away

2. The weather: we have had some delicious its-almost-really-spring days, a few surprise showers, and a freak snow storm that gave us another day off school yesterday. But for the most part, it is starting to get warm.

3. I am going to Guatemala soon! (see ticker at the bottom of the page)

4. Less than 3 months left until graduation

5. Summer is coming!

6. There are more holidays to look forward to

7. We are out of the February rut (although we got a whopping 4 snow days that month so it was actually pretty great)

8. It is not yet April and exam prep time

9. It is much lighter outside

10. It is easier to slack because of the good weather (more stuff to do), and teachers don't mind too much until April

11. My brother is on break and visiting

12. It's all a downhill ride from here (except the bump that is exams)

13. Flip Flops! I am very much a jeans and flip flops kind of girl so I am very happy it is *almost* warm enough to get out my 8 pairs of comfy flops!

Thursday Thirteen #1

This seems to be a very popular meme so I am going to attempt to join it if I can figure out how to get the code on here.
My First Thursday Thirteen of 13 things that happen during the spring of senior year:




1. You think "because I forgot" is a perfectly good excuse for not doing your homework.

2. You don't even try to read the book for English class...

3. ...or you didn't even purchase it in the first place.

4. Brushing your hair every morning becomes too much of an effort.

5. Even showing up is just such a "why?" thing.

6. You spend all of your classes watching videos of The Ellen Degeneres Show on YouTube.

7. Your teachers don't even care if you're using your laptop for notes or not.

8. You voluntarily do math problems to figure out how low of a grade you can get on the next assignment without failing the class.

9. You become So. Incredibly. Addicted. To. Facebook.

10. You wish underclassmen would just SHUT UP.

11. You volunteer to be a prospective parent tour guide just to get free food and tell people not to come here.

12. You spend all of your frees sleeping...you can goof off during class.

13. Slacking Overachiever becomes just slacker.
