Yesterday Aunt Gina and I went "lake hopping" haha. There are 4 lakes around here but we only had time for 3. Then we went back to the hotel and mom came back soon after. We drove to Norman, had dinner, and drove to the college. Emily was waiting for me and we hung out for a couple of hours. She showed me around the campus, her dorm and we walked down to the river. I had to leave cause there was a storm and mom didn't want to get caught in it. Some of the lightning was sweet haha..it wasn't a bad storm though

Fairbanks: The largest city in interior Alaska began as a trading post in 1901. A year later, a gold strike spawned a boom town. It was named for a then-powerful US senator named Charles Fairbanks, who was later Teddy Roosevelt's vice president. Fairbanks serves as a transportation and shipping hub and government center for the Interior, and is home to one of the major campuses of the University of Alaska. Residents of the Fairbanks area, who number nearly eighty thousand, think of all other Alaskans as Outsiders

I saw on the weather yesterday it snowed in the Dallas area! (Our weatherman does the weather for the Lower 48..but the weatherman in Texas hardly ever showed Alaska's weather. :P) Emily and dad both told me snow was forecasted too..wow haha

Yesterday (Latin) Emily and I saw Harry Potter 5! Been waiting all summer haha..Harry was all angsty..and poor Sirius *tear* I felt like they left stuff out during this one transition scene cause it didn't exactly make sense (I haven't read the book yet). Then we went back to Emily's house (I was sleeping over) and we watched Sharpe's Siege and had strawberry banana smoothies. Her parents are awesome haha. Her mom invited me to church with them! I may be uncomfortable and not know what to do but oh well haha. Emily has this HUGE cat and small dog..yay pets haha

I listened to my Tyr CD yesterday...it's sooo boring!! You lose interest in the songs fast and I don't like the singer's voice. There were some songs that weren't in English and I kinda liked them. I wonder if their other CS sound similar..

I'm reading a book series called the Sharpe series (they're also movies with Sean Bean). There are tooons of books in the series...they're very good so far. I'm on the Fifth one I think (Sharpe's Sword). The fourth one had a huge siege...sieges fascinate me for some reason. Emily introduced them to me

Today's Latin: propudium parcissimum (I'll get the check)

"We fought against oppression and wisdom was our sword, on the path of glory we searched the rainbows end"--"Wings of Destiny," Gamma Ray

My Latin and English exams were today...Latin was kinda hard (but it was multiple choice!! This has been our only full multiple choice test in Latin so far!). English was moderately hard. It's Christmas Break now..yay!

I think Emily and I are gonna see Eragon later..

I have over $100 my relatives have given me so far...wow haha

Today's Latin: ne nimium (do nothing in excess)

"Into the darkness they crossed the marsh and entered the frozen cave, a secret path was cut into the rock, a labyrinth, a twisted maze"--"The Mystic Prophecy of the Demonknight," Rhapsody

Man we've been watching depressing things in US history...two days ago we watched something on the assisination of JFK and today we watched about how this 14 year old black guy got beaten up horribly and murdered cause he whistled at a white lady. Yeah...don't you just love America? *cough* They showed pics of his face *shivers* It'll haunt me forever. How can people be so cruel?!

I've listened to all of the Edguy CD and it's sooo good!! The Gamma Ray CD has lotsa the songs Heather sent...from the ones I haven't heard I've listened to My Temple and Condemned to Hell...awesome songs!!

Emily and I finished our Latin project!! We have to present it tomorrow

This week's House was two parts and it was very suspenceful, sad, depressing and creepy...

This Saturday is the train ride in Dallas with People to People. I find it cruel the station name has 'bell' in it...

Today's Latin: ita, semel et solum vobis permissum est (so, once and only for you is it permitted)

"Waiting for tomorrow when the sorrows disappear, look into the future from the center of my fears"--"My Temple," Gamma Ray

Judas at the Opera by Edguy is an AWESOME song!!! It's so amusing! I've also listened to Blessing in Disguise (it's alright) and I'm sending Spooks in the Attic to Kathryn now. Edguy is so epic

I'm not even gonna go into how annoying my computer has been...and I was picked up from school way late...but I saw the librarian from McKamy! She remembered and recognized me!! She was so happy to see me and she said she'd tell the other librarian she saw me! Yay!!

I dunno if I'll be online tomorrow cause my partner for my Latin project (her name's Emily) is coming over to work on it with me. Man I'm stressed about it

Today's Latin: auscultate mihi! Ad vos loquor (pay attention! I'm speaking to you)

"Darkness has covered the opera house, something is wrong you can tell"--"Judas at the Opera," Edguy
