2 day week

i was soooo happy to have those two days off! monday, i slept in until 11, spent some time with my boyfriend, went home and cut some of the grass, went to work at 3:30, got off at 6 and met up with some friends and had a good time. yesterday i pretty much just layed around, finished the yardwork and worked. it was definately nice having two extra days off of this week. and i'm excited about having another four day weekend again this weekend.

hurricane fay

the storm in slowly moving deeper and deeper into georgia. i'm concerned about the weather we're getting here because i am supposed to be driving to eastman to visit my mom whenever i get off work today, but if it gets any worse i probably won't be able to. i hate driving in the rain.

futurenow assembly

the assembly, yesterday, was pretty neat. i had fun playing in the strobe lights and smog. some of the skits were pretty funny, too.. especially when they played backstreet boys and britney spears songs. it also conveyed a good message and made me think about the bad decisions i've made so far in high school. i enjoyed it, and i got out of class too, so thats a plus :)

ASSEMBLY

i think that cheating can sometimes be a bad idea, because it risks getting caught and getting a zero. but when you haven't had enough time to prepare for a test it can be a good thing becuase if you don't end up getting caught then you have a better chance of getting a good grade than if you were to just guess on everything. i try not to cheat too much, though, because i know its not very wise and its not honest. i've never used my cell phone to cheat. thats just twice as dumb, because then i would get in trouble for having my phone and for cheating. i definately would't get away with that.

olympics

i'm not very much at all interested in the oplympics. i've never watched them, and i don't really plan on watching them any time soon. so, i don't have an opinion about them being held in china. but i'm sure the US isn't happy about the american visitors being killed at the oplympics, and its probably not going to help that relationship very much. all i know about the olympics is that some guy (michael phelps, maybe?) broke some world records from the 70's. but i don't know what i'm talking about. i think i'd be bored to death if i tried to sit and watch the olympics. it just doesn't strike my fancy at all.
