well...that's that then.
schedule and assessments (oo, that sounds waaay to official)
homeroom/1st period: Mrs. Vann-Writt. Comm.
I HATE PATTI!!!!! o my god, do you KNOW how annoying it is to sit behind that girl while she's going on about how punkish she is... i only have two ppl i can tolerate in that class=Briana Germata, and Ashlea Niel. Mrs. Vann is nice...strict, but nice.
2nd period: Mrs. Clark-Gifted
This will be an interesting class. I have David Duncan, Ryn, Sam, Chad, and Roger in here. Chad is not Chad's real name. His real name is Brad, but I was in the play with him in 7th grade and he was named "Chad" there. Roger is Ben, but Mrs. Clark called him Roger by accident.
I think the only problem I'll have in this class is if Ryn and I can stop talking. Mrs. Clark seems nice, but she's already irritated with us. heh.
3rd period: Mrs. Mcrae-Prealg
THE WOMAN SCARES ME!!! especially when she wanted to play "the name game". I was "energetic Erin." ugh. she reminds me strongly of a toad...and she's too quiet. I only know Molly Dawkins in this class.
4th period: Mrs. S. (something about scrouples, her name is too long!)-histri
she ammuses me. she thinks she can relate to us because she has a ninth grade son and keeps saying things like "well, that's just Hunky-Dory!!". she also calls ppl "Precious" when they raise their hands.
5th period: Mrs. Dear-adv. english
Skye's in here...which was about the only good thing. mrs. dear seems very strict and rather boring, but i hear she's really good from about four sources. so we'll have to see, i suppose. skye katharine and i got confused at lunch and ended up having a whole thirty more min.
6th period: Mrs. Parker-science
She's interesting. she has an asthmatic chicken (whom she holds whispered conversations with) and a muppet puppet of Beaker. she seems like a good teacher anyway. i have madeleine and sarah in this class.
7th period: Mrs. Ingram and Mrs. McLelland-dance team
when i started, i seriously thought i would hate it...but at least i know the girls from all the grueling 8 hour a day practices. we just went thru our schedules for dance team.
Bus: Mrs. Jackson-catastrophe
I WANT TO CONVERT TO A CAR RIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm srry i teased you today, skie, i understand now. hana and i just sat in the middle of the bus (we usually sit in the back IDIOTS stole our seats) and were surrounded by THEM. they were everywhere. it was disgusting. i was claustrophobic...and too hot. it was awful. hana, lindsey, and i are planning on working out a car pool. it was evil.
and here i am.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
today:::
went to dance team practice...was extremely sore..
went to the gym for 45 min. while mom taught cycling lessons.
mom finished and i hopped up and down, going insane, waiting for mom to hurry up so we could go to the HP movie
drove to the movie
saw it.
review (spoilers):
you could seriously tell that someone else had directed it.
i was thoroughly disappointed at some bits, but pleased at others. they left out a lot of scenes i was seriously anticipating, but they got the whole general storyline out.
the werewolf was kind of pathetic, very scrawy, but no doubt vicious. after van helsing, though, it was really sad...
sirius black was almost exactly how i imagined him, except i think he should have been a lot skinnier. lupin was a serious disappointment, i didn't think of him like that at all.
the trio's performance was pretty well done, you could tell they're getting better as actors. my favorite, of course, was ron. but harry and hermione pulled it off very well.
the time travel was really cool. i liked it a lot, even if it was rather confusing.
buckbeak was well done, not like i pictured him, but nevertheless still nicely performed.
the dementors were rather disturbing, as expected. freaky and creepy, and strange, but they FLEW. they FLEW!! that was certainly not in the book, i tell you!!! anyway, i imagined the dementors a bit fuller, much less nonexisting. they seemed to be only head and decayed hands, and lots of raggedy black cloak.
the only thing i seriously disliked was peter pedigrew. he was just...nasty. seriously nasty, gross, and thoroughly unconvincing as the stuttering little freak we all expected.
ron's lines were funny, draco's were cruel, but much better than the previous two movies, hermione was much more rebelious, harry was much more suicidal, but admittingly more convincing as harry.
the grim was perfect, and trelawney was generally right. her prophecy was awesome, her voice went really scary, but very cool.
the boggart scene wasn't as good as i had hoped. true, the part where snape gets dressed as neville's grandmother was ammusing, as was ron's spider that was made to wear rollar skates instead of just lose its legs. but parvati's giant snake was turned into a frankly terrifying jack-in-the-box.
the special effects were MUCH better, as was the action. i didn't like quidditch that much, though.
but all in all, the movie was a success. not as much as a success as i had expected, but very cool, none-the-less.

o, to remind you all; i updated dayofdays.blogdrive i've started back up. my day today was to introduce myself to ppl i know but don't talk to. go there to see the results.
anyway, today has been dull...just went to dance team...that's been about it. next week i'll have dance team practices in the morning and showcase dancing/acting/singing camp w/ lindsey form 1-5. that'll be interesting.
anyway...nuthing else.
i think i'll go to goarmy.com...sign myself up for the military or something...heh.

that was extremely odd.
i just finished AND THEN THERE WERE NONE by agatha christie, and i don't think there's ever been a book i've been more confused with.
not that i didn't understand, of course. i thought the whole death w/ poem thing was quite facinating. but i'd seen the play and the movie, so i knew who the murderer was and who he allied with.
and i thought i knew who was supposed to live.
and i failed miserably.
which was a complete shock, and i'm terribly ashamed beyond reason with myself. usually i pick up things like that, about books. i really should have figured out that it was going to be different than the movie and the play.
i guess it was the whole AND thing that got me. i figured that if the plot line was the same for both the movie AND the play, well then it would have to be true to the book.
how incredibly naive i was.
SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE YET TO FINISH AND THEN THERE WERE NONE
they all died. it was a huge blow. in the movie and play, vera and philip lived, so as to be together, and philip killed the judge (play) or the judge commited suicide (movie&book)
the judge commited suicide, as to be expected, i knew, after killing everyone else off.
but they all DIED. i was personally kind of offended.
of course, she had offered plain off hints that they would, indeed, all die. but in the play and movie, vera and philip weren't guilty.
well they both were in the book, which also delivered a serious shock, cuz i really liked philip, even though i didn't particularly like vera (whiny brat). but it was actually the judge who wasn't guilty.
god...i just kind of sat there for a minute, thinking, this wasn't right...this was not right...
but you gotta hand it to agatha christie, i suppose. it was an excellently written book.
it just kind of came as a blow...
well, i'll stop complaining.
that's the end to the summer reading, anyway. Posted at 09:42 pm by antimony

lindsey, dad and i were like in an arcade or something. and lindsey had something, i guess like the one Ring, that we had to get to somewhere. well, it was in a cross world of HP and LOTR, i suppose. cuz we left the arcade and were kind of walking in a neighborhood, except it constantly changed into a desert in the way that dreams do, you know? so then mr. mashburn, lindsey's dad, came to pick her up, but i kind of thought he was acting a bit weird. so lindsey and i asked him a few questions that the real mr. mashburn would know, but he didn't know them. so we realized he was a changeling (stop laughing.) and he, knowing we had discovered him, changed into a giant clown. you know, big maroon showes, oddly striped atire, and freakily powdered face.
well, clowns scare the crap out of me, asleep and awake, so i tried to fight it away, but it was really strong and it hit me, then got away. lindsey was acting very strange, she was just kind of sitting there, and my dad was wringing his hands all nervous. that got me angry at them, and i demanded to know why they didn't help me, but we just continued on on our "quest". eventually we came to another arcade, and i was just sitting around on an armchair, resting, when my dad went into another room and screamed. i ran in there and saw him being tortured by the clown dude and lindsey was no where in sight. but suddenly the place was filling up with boggarts (if you've read hp you know what those are) and i had to get away. so i captured one of the high-ranking boggarts and demanded he show me where the main hide-out of the clown was.

compared to that guy, i'm a living prodigy!
ok.
today was rather nice. woke up at 8, and slumped down the stairs to eat breakfast. but it was raining and thundering and lightening too hard to go to swim team so i slumped back up the stairs and cornered myself to the computer. i made a violent attack on elfwood, then got up to go to the used bookstore, thouroughly satisfied with my new pictures.
we went and bought and then there were none even though i had already seen the movie and the play, but i didn't want to read animal farm as it was about talking animals (shiver) or johnny tremain for i'm not particularly facinated with the revolutionary war. began reading it and am already thouroughly confused, but no matter.
mom, john, and i ate lunch at the trace grill which looked like a log cabin, had an odd display of at least 300 licence plates lining the walls, and burgers that tasted good only if you held your nose before taking a bite. the fries were positively disgusting, i'm sorry to inform, but they had coca-cola, so i was grateful.
we talked about harry potter (i was positively offended when their lack of sacred HP memory showed) but i was more than happy to correct them.
went back to home and invited lindsey over. we got on the computer and surfed some more.
then i ate dinner...and here i am. Posted at 09:12 pm by antimony
