Mini Blog: It's HOT!

It's 93 degrees in Minnesota. MINNESOTA! I'M TELLING YOU THIS IS CRAZY! Seriously. I know that a lot of southern places- like Texas, where my cousins live- are a lot warmer. This is Minnesota, though. It's not supposed to be this HOT.

I'm still at SOS this week and I pray it cools down by tomorrow because I really don't want to be doing huge amounts of manual labor outside in this heat. I will have to bring a water bottle.

Other than this there's really nothing I need to say. Or want to say. On days like this I kinda just want to stay inside with my air conditioning and a fan blowing in my face.

Desks, S.O.S, and Parades

I made a post a REALLY long time ago that I would post a picture of how messy my desk is. Well I've finally taken the picture! I said I would put it on that post, but I decided to put it on this one as to be more recent. I just need to edit the picture. EDIT: Picture edited and posted below. Please click on the picture to view the whole thing.



The problem with editing it promptly is: I'm at summer of service this week and next. I'll be helping out the community, so if you're part of my community you may see me! ^-^

I'm really excited for the Rochester-fest Parade coming on the 26th! My mom is walking in it and I made part of one of the floats in S.O.S. yesterday! It was a building made out of a box, I don't know what they need all of these buildings for, but it was fun.

That's really all for now,
Haley

Mini Blog: Summer!

Summer started a couple of days ago, so this blog is not going to be an enthusiastic cheer for the end of a school year. Instead it is going to be a sleep-deprived yet slightly less grumpy than if I were writing on another topic "...whoopee..."
BB stayed over last night and thus I am tired. Summer is for relaxing. So why am I so busy?

Sunday I am doing a course at eagle bluff with my church.
SOS starts on Monday and that goes on for 2 weeks.
Then I have about 3 weeks off so I'll probably get some driving hours done.
After that I have a week-long class through the U of M on web design.
Then I have church camp for a week.
By this time I'm already into August! What am I doing scheduling all of this stuff when I should be relaxing? Good Lord! What was I thinking?!?

Alright, panic over. Now I'm going to try and relax for the 2 more days of freedom I've got.

This said, wish me luck on finding time to blog...

It's that time of year again!

No, I'm not talking about the holidays- unfortunately. I'm talking about what every teenager just LOVES to do. FINALS! *screaming noise in the background*

This basically means I will not be blogging for quite some time. Whether it is because of studying or because I'm taking the finals themselves, it doesn't matter. (Not that it makes much of a difference, I don't blog much anyway)

Here's my finals schedule OF DOOM.
Friday
American Studies History
American Studies English
Lunch
Latin

Monday
Open Hour
Math
Lunch
Chemistry

Tuesday
Health
Open Hour

Then I'm done until Junior year! Hoorah! euge! (Latin for hoorah!)

I should probably go study now, but I'll just end up back on the internet eventually.

Mini Blog: Blog additions

I added some new widgets on the bottom of the page I think you'll like! However, I have a paper to consider writing so I cannot post for very long. Ave Atque Vale, omnes. (That's Latin for 'Hail and Farewell, all'- see, I have learned something!)

Ta ta for now,

Holy Flying Monkeys!

That's right I said "Holy Flying Monkeys!" I cannot believe my birthday is tomorrow. I'll be 16. Already. zOMG!

O.k, now that the miniature freak-out is over I can tell you about it. I already got a ton of my presents from my family so I kinda already knew I was getting there, but seriously! I cannot believe it's been another year! I'm the youngest amongst my friends and I'm kinda used to saying I'm still 15. So now that I'm almost not... It's a little weird.

So tomorrow for my birthday I'm heading to Night at the Museum 2 with a ton of people. It'll be great... I think.

Last year around this time (zOMG! I've been doing this blog for a whole year?!?) I posted a list of presents, so here's what I've gotten so far:
-Class ring, not actually here yet.
-a bike, brought into town by my uncle the bike expert and paid for by the 'rents
-Money from another uncle
-Money from the grand 'rents on my dad's side
-a call from my aunt saying the card is coming but it's a holiday weekend so it prolly (that's her word for probably) won't be here in time, so who knows whether I got any money or not
-an old navy gift card from the relatives (aunt, uncle, 3 cousins) in Texas

That's it so far. Though, BB said she was bringing over some presents (other than the gerbils she gave me 2 months ago.) I may get more at the movie tomorrow, too.

BB and I are going to have cake in the shape of a puppy for my birthday tomorrow, and on Monday after BB leaves I'm having pie of some sort at my grandparents.

I'm actually pretty notorious amongst my family for celebrating my birthday for an entire month, so this year I'm hoping to scale it down to this weekend. But I think my artsy friends want to draw me something for my b-day to give to me at school on Tuesday so... we'll see how that turns out.

Last year I got REALLY sick of cake for my month long b-day,

Mini blog: Facebook!

I've added a little facebook widget at the bottom of this page! Yay, facebook addiction!

Anyway, just here to tell you I'm tired because I took the history AP test on friday for 3 hours and yesterday I went to my grandparents in Owatonna for quite some time so today I am sleepy and online! That's a good combo, isn't it?

I plan on updating my books list soon. It's on my giant never ending to do list. So it will happen eventually, just like that picture of my horribly messy desk I've been planning on putting up for quite some time...

TTYL,
~Haley
