*Snore*

So tired...but I must blog because I'll feel guilty because I didn't post yesterday.

Umm..let's see...

Yesterday was the writing OGT. It was so easy. Danny Colt (I believe that's he's last name, or close to it) fell asleep and was snoring really loud. It was funny.

=p

Everyone finished their tests early yesterday and today so we got to talk.

I finished my science OGT with a half hour to spare.

I fell asleep for 10 minutes and then we got to talk so I went over to where Ryan was sitting and we talked about Greek letters, and driving.

Social Studies OGT tomorrow.

I'm slowly losing confidence with each OGT. I feel nervous about my math and science one already. Everyone said they were really easy, but I dunno, they weren't a complete breeze for me.

I mean, some of the shit on the math and science one I had no clue how to do.... =/

Meeeeeh.

Wow. I've just lost my train of thought. I literally started at the post box for about five minutes...

Physics has been really fun this week. Andy and I are partners and we're building a rocket. He's always fun to work with. =)

I also had my first Fig Newton. It was yummy. =)

During guidance today we had to deal with Bitchy Pitts.

I will forever hate that woman. She always acts like she has a stick perpetually shoved up her ass or something.

>=/

Dunker day was today! I was a bit grumpy and needed a hug from Cyrus (I don't want to explain why, I'm too tired) but in the end I was better.

Spanish has been fun, we've done nothing but play games.

I've been having like, major brain farts recently though. It's quite annoying.

For example, I completely forgot how to do the problems on my math homework, I forgot where quite a few rooms were in the school, I kept confusing Spanish words while playing the chalkboard races, and I can barley remember what I did yesterday.

*sigh*

Art Mr. Test gave us Volume 4 of the VVT (Vally Voyages Times- as I like to call it). I love them, they're always colorful. =p

English we took our VW test and then were allowed to sit around and just talk for the rest of the period, it was nice.

Stayed after school for a golf meeting then Cyrus drove Peaches home and I finally got to see her new dog!

She was adorable. =D

Went home to my own dog and Cyrus and I took her for a walk. I got to drive to the park with Cyrus and Mom in the car! =)

We walked about 3 miles or so. It was fun. =)

When we got back home we fell asleep on the couch for a bit and then Cy had to go and pick up his sister.

Took a shower and then did my math homework to try and keep myself awake. I was too tired to do much of anything else though.

I went on youtube because I'm subscribed to Google's YT account and watched a video on Google maps for my VV project.

I'll either start that this weekend or during next week. I need to finish Mice and Men before Monday and we're going to be taking apart JJ's bunk bed.

Wow, it's only 10 and I'm exhausted...

Just one more OGT left...

This Is A Kick Ass Post Title

I feel like crap.

But it's okay because it's the WEEKEND!

I want to go back and hike in the woods tomorrow...but it's probably going to rain.

I should have asked for a video recorder as well to go to the park and interview people for my Valley Voyages stuffs...although I really don't have any questions on paper...they're all in my head.

Talked to Grammy about the project coming up. I was telling her how nervous I was because we're going to have to present our projects to a bunch of important people and parents...

But Grammy seemed to calm my nerves quite a bit for now.

I got at 14/14 on my Spanish vocab quiz!!!!

I'm so proud. ^-^

Ummm...Mayor wasn't here again in art today, so I worked on my house for Spanish. We have to make a floor plan, but I'm going to make mine 3D just because I'm an over achiever and not because I have no life.

Heh...I just remembered when I woke up this morning I had a small panic attack because I looked at my floor and it was clean and then I remembered I cleaned my room last night...

And I'm being serious about this.

=p

That's about it for school...

The warm weather was nice today.

I got to drive to subway and I drove perfectly!! =D

Nobody died, I started to break and the right times, didn't speed!

Alright...didn't speed much....

..........

Shut up, I have a lead foot.

Took out the skate board. I was actually pretty good for not riding it in 3 years. I did the trick that JJ's friend Steven taught me and I didn't fall on my face! =D

Hung out with my Dad in the barn a bit before Gary came.

Talked to Cyrus on the phone and then my Grammy (which I've already talked about because this post is very out of order tonight).

Think I'm going to go finish my Hannibal movie now. Then go to bed.

=)

Also, found this cool video on youtube! I like it. Would really like that painting. =)

Hellz Yeah

My supa hero costume for spirit week tomorrow is so awesome. I can't wait until you guys see it!

It's so stupid it's epic. =p

I'll post a picture on here of me in it tomorrow.

Physics we had a lab today so we mostly messed around.

We got the lab done though!

Jess got yelled at by Pitts today because her skirt was too low. Well, at least that's what she said. If the office ladies didn't say anything, or her 1st and 2nd period teachers didn't say anything, I think it's fine.

She must have had a huge bug up her ass today, aside from the one she always has.

I keep biting my nails! ><

Oh!

Lost Asian is in my lunch!!

Who the hell is Lost Asian?

Well, there was this guy at the dance that just stood there most of the time looking completely lost, and he was Asian. So I nicknamed him Lost Asian. And now he's in my lunch!

It was so hard not to lunge at him and hug him. =p

History I took notes for section 1.

Art I worked on my scratch drawing and then someone gave me a cookie! =D

English I ate my cookie and gave Andy, Devvy Chan, and Ryan some.

They called us down for the show choir thing.

I honestly don't think they're that good. Their singing sucks and the dancing bores me.

But Mushroom head was in it!

Got home, and finished my Geometry homework and history notes for section 1 then ate dinner and went to Cyber Cafe to start on some of my Valley Voyages project.

It was fun, there was Twix Bars and hot chocolate. Zak was there though... I stayed close to Cy.

Came home, showered, showed my mom my supa hero costume, and now I'm here.

Going to bed now.

Night to all!

*Sniffles*

Golf wasn't good as I expected.

Kept severely slicing. My swing was very slow.

In the end though, I got my speed up and then I started hitting my 3 wood and hit it very well if I do say so myself.

Of course coach wasn't there when I started hitting better...

Dad will be shorthanded at work tomorrow so I'll be coming in to help a bit. I won't be doing much. Just sitting around and maybe answering the phones and stuffs.

So forgive me if I answer my cell phone and go "S.W. Anderson this is Ashley speaking, how may I help you?"

=p

I was just looking at our website for the company. It's pretty snazzy, check it out.

=)

Dad and I were talking about that Rosetta Stone thing and I thought it would be cool for us to get the Spanish one because my Dad is inserested in learning the language and it would help a lot for my Spanish 2 class.

So I went online to check how much they were.

Over $250.

Heh heh...fuck that.

Maybe we could find a used one?

Bleh.

Got the Akron Journal and read the artical. There's a group picture of us and then one of Jessica, and another one of Evan and Jeramey.

I was quoted me twice. The first quote was good and correct...then words were shoved in my mouth on the second quote.

In the paper is said that I said "They learned the frustrations of dealing with 55 fellow students, not all of whom paid attention or listened to instruction on the 13-mile pedal along the Towpath Trail from Akron to Peninsula, Ashley said."

Fuck that.

I said that the point of the trip was to learn, and explore, not just a free bike ride.

His quote makes me sound like I'm saying that we didn't teach well or something and that we couldn't control our students. >=(

Stupid media.

Will change the blog tomorrow. I need sleep because I have to wake up early tomorrow and I'm starting not to feel well. I hope I'm not catching that cold everyone is getting. =/

^-^ Chu!

Thank you all for your hugs, they gave me many smiles. =)

Mom left at 10:30 to get her nails done today. Dad only lasted a half hour before coming to wake me up to go do something.

He's just so bored all the time because he can't do much with is shoulder. =/

When I came downstairs he had 98.5 blasting so we jammed out to some great tunes.

I learned something interesting today.

You guys know the song Mellow Yellow by Donovan?

Apparently it's about a woman and her vibrator (which is Mellow Yellow).

xD

I'll never listen to that song the same way again. =p

Cyrus came around 12:45 and we went to the library to see off one of the librarians who was retiring.

They had cake. =)

Next we were gong to Valley View Theater to go see the movie Mall Cop.

At first we didn't think we would make it so we pulled back into my house on the way to see the next time (Dad was like wtf... =p).

Turn out Cyrus had the time wrong, we had 10 extra minutes.

=)

Movie was funny, we both enjoyed it.

Next we went to a drug mart to buy batteries for the hand thing I got for his car (where you put it in your back window and it makes different gestures. =p).

Pulled into a cemetery to install it (hey, we didn't want to have people stair at us in the parking lost so we chose a quite spot).

Turns out you needed a mini screw driver to open up the part to put the batteries. We tried to improvise. Pencils, keys, paper clip. No results.

After a bit we went to his house and we ate dinner and watched the little ones while his parents went out.

They made me my own Wii character and we did boxing, tennis, baseball, and golf. Then we did a little Wii fit.

I weighed myself too. Apparently I'm 99.6 pounds! I've gained a lot of weight over the winter. =/

When I got home I did my Valley Voyages stuff and caught up on the VV blog.

Now all I need to do is catch up on my missed tweets, and blog posites.

=D

I Am So Tired...

Of dealing with stupid people today...

*headdesk*

Ever since I got home...

*sigh*

VV was awesome today.

Hung out with Cy, Lienne, and Jeff for the day.

Before we were on our way we discussed our big projects. I think I have an idea for mine. I like it mostly because I can attack random people in the park and interview them. =D

My idea:

Akron and Cleveland seem to be depending much on their ecotourism. Obviousely it's doing a great job...

Anyways, I'm basically going to try and solve that by finding better ways to promote this. What will bring more people to the parks or, what keeps bringing people back that we can maybe even expand or improve? Things like that.

It's basically the genteral idea.

I dunno, it sounds good right now. Mom liked it. Dad will like taking me to the park too.

Attacking radom people FTW. =p

Moving on!

Went to the Western Reserve Historical Society.

The beginning tour was really...boring....

And the photographer lady, which I'm guessing was from the Akron Journal (since Mr. Downing said that there would be one there next trip), was annoying.

Ugh I remember that one photographer guy at golf...

I'm freaking putting and all I hear is CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK!!

Rude.

Anyways, Cy, Lienne, Jeff and I went to the botanical gardens to eat lunch before heading back.

Cy and Lienne had a snowball fight, then we started pushing each other in the snow. =p

I'll be honest, I didn't really learn anything, we kinda just messed around most of the time. The cars were really interesting though.

I dunno why but I've always had this thing for old cars.

When I got home Dad wanted JJ and I to go up on the roof and knock the snow down away from the chimney because it was leaking into the basement.

While my Dad got up there to do some stuff (yes, there is no taking it easy for this one armed man, let me tell you...) JJ and I started having a snowball fight and pushing each other into the snow.

Then we threw snowballs at my Dad's head. =p

After that Dad wanted us to shovel the slush off the driveway before it turned into ice. In the end, it really never got done because JJ and I continued our sillies in the snow. =p

It was really good snow too, packed together really well.

JJ and I kicked some at each other and I got some in my nose. =p

Went inside the garage to take our wet clothes off. I took off my wet jeans and took the towel we use to dry the dog off and wrapped it around my waist. When I walked into the house my Mom was like "....Um...isn't that the...never mind..."

=p

Tried to call Gioninos but that dreaded BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP kept happening every time I called, so I got Pizza Hut instead.

Which is fine too, I love their cheesy crust.

Dan and Gary are over right now. Dad is sad he can't kick their asses in pool since he's only got one arm.

Poor Dad, I'll guess I'll have to play for him! =p

One of my favorite CSI episodes came on, so I was excited.

Talked with Cy a bit on the phone.

Methinks I'm going to catch up on my Vampire Knight episodes. Believe I'm almost done with the serise.

Watched my Silent video again...

I'm thinking of re-doing is but the timing is so perfect on this one...

Hmmm....

Heh, I remember Mr. Shank cried when he watched it. =p

(AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE IT WAS BAD.)

You all just lost the game.

=)

Fuzzy Handcuffs

Better, or worse than rope?

My Grammy and I have the weirdest conversations sometimes.

Don't ask me how we got on the subject, because even I don't remember. =p

Hung out in the library with Cy until lunch then took the history exam.

Some of the questions were repeats. Example:

Hoovervilles were what?

A. Shanty towns.
B. Huge cities.
C. Towns were Hoover was most liked.
D. Batman's secret hideouts.

Then, about 5-9 questions later:

A popular name for a shanty town built by the homeless during the great depression was a:

A. Hooverville.
B. Shack town.
C. Ghost town.
D. 7.

Hey, I'm not complaining, I'm just saying. =p

They had stuff about The Grapes Of Wrath on the test!!

So glad I took US Hist. and read that book!

Already...sort not really...

I READ 4 CHAPTERS!

Out of 30...but who's counting....

=p

Couldn't make my crack ballz today because we didn't have a pound of milk chocolate.

Mom picked up some though...

2 ounces short of a pound, but that's already I'll deal.

Grammy made brownies for me anyways. =p

Dad came home around 2:30-3:00ish.

I was upstairs sleeping.

His surgery went well, better than they thought actually, which is very good to hear.

Emurged from my den around 4:30. Helped set the table, all that jazz. Dad slept through dinner.

JJ and I watched Bones and now I'm here chattin it up with Devvy Chan.

Me: sooo what is little miss Devvy Chan up to?
Dev: milkshake =P
Me: <----- klondike bar
Dev: lol
Me: yeeeah, we rock this dairy treat house =p
Dev: yes we do lol

Don't our convo's rock?

=p

Oh, and you guys know Cyrus was kidding about the whole Madonna being hot thing, right?

Right?!

Right.

Valley Voyages tomorrow!

I'm still very annoyed I forgot the e in the Valley Voyages label....so it says Vally Voyages...

Blah, oh well.

Gonna catch up on my youtube videos and then hit the sack, gotta be up around 8:15-8:30ish tomorrow...

ily.
