i'm going to be a loser now and post five months after my last entry.

breath...1,2,3 (a nice little cheer from Woody that really helps)

this weekend was easterns and it was awesomely fun. saw hot guys playing ultimate, had the most amazingly fun (and suprising) surprise bday party at the cool restaurant with games (DDR!), and played what i believe was some pretty awesome ultimate. Just plain fun. last games of the season, looks like, if states fails. thats whats really sucking big time.

so my dad started talking about extracurriculars out of the blue tonight. and i was freaking out and crying on how i dont feel like i have sufficient ones for stupid college. tonight my dad made me realize how much pressure stuy has put on me. i cant believe i hadn't really noticed. the amount of time i have been thinking and worrying about college is just RIDICULOUS. why am i trying to play out my highschool life so that it is most appealing to colleges? i should be enjoying it, and doing the extracurriculars that i want to and love to do. besides, i know that i will most likely lead a succesful and happy life without going to the college that i believe is the 'best'.

That is why i have ultimate. i am coming to rely on it more and more, cause i love doing it, and i love you guys that come with it.

so ive decided to update for some reason, i guess im just in the mood. and its weird cause ive gotten some subscribers since the time ive last updated. you weirdos... i still love u guys tho.

so hows life?
i cant complain right this second. last week was hell cause i had soooooooo much work. i wrote a 15 pg paper on codes which was fun... yeah.. thats right. 15 pages!!!! kind of proud of the fact that i was able to write that much.

so what has happened in my life between october 16 and now? hmm... not a ton i want to mention, or atleast not to everyone...
vacations/weekends/going to baltimore/going to NJ have been fun...
im like counting the days till summer. i swear its almost here. here's my logic: we're already half way there, and then feb break is around the corner, and then we have to get through march which in my opinion is the most boringest month of them all... so anyway, after that is apr break, and then my birthday (may), and then june and then thats it... it is so close. u just watch. think im crazy? well we'll see

o yeah, got my CTY brochure in mail today. none of the courses seem especially appealing, and im debating wether to return this summer. (cause you know how much summer is important to me!)

Ultimate is awesome. i think the team is such a great group of people... (not to say that last year wasnt).. still anticipating how well we'll do in an actual game/tournament but u know..

KRISTEN! WE MUST GET 2GETHER THIS WEEKEND! I WILL DIE WITH OUT MY PROPER DOSAGE OF KRISTEN!!!! AND I CANT FORGET RACHEL!!! WE MUST MAKE PLANS!!!

Have i covered all aspects of my life already? wow. there's not much in it i guess. will post again once i remember my life more

-got to start thinking about halloween plans...
- been hanging with marg & char (the twins) a lot recently, and its been really fun.
- got my new board out on the water couple weeks ago. omg, it was so hard... but yet fun and addictive. and *cough* *cough* Cole got a DENT in it already, but its all good cause Clay fixed it up... so awesome!
- went to a spa/swimming pool place for the long weekend which was nice, with rachel, sam, and family... (BROWNIE BLADDER! PARTY POOPER!)
- we're planned to have a little camp reunion in Philly, which should be awesome. hope i can make it! ;)

so, havent updated in a while. changed my schedule. ultimate tryouts are this week.

....its so sad. this guy who went to bronx science ODed on heroine and now he's dead. i met him once, i didnt know he was such a druggie tho. people were going to his funeral, which i think was today. some people were wearing all black... i just cant believe someone i know (even that remotely) is dead. he was only a sophmore. me and marg just mentioned him this weekend. its so fucking weird

its just so fucked up

so school started on monday. here's my schedule:
1- Chem with Dr. Li
2- Gym w/ Rosenthal
3- Honors Math w/ weinberg
4- Technical Drawing w/ Lonardo
5- Free
6- Sculpture w/ eichenblatt
7- European Lit w/ Francis
8- Lunch
9- French w/ augustave
10- Global studies w/ shuman

its ok i guess. people say i have easy teachers. but i'm really trying to get into AP Euro history. im gonna check on monday again if theres room. otherwise it might be too late :(. all of my friends are in it.
also im gonna drop sculpture. its an elective i wanted to do, but we're gonna do sewing, and oragami among other things... (not exactly what i thought sculpture was)
and chem w/ Dr. Li sux cause u CANT UNDERSTAND WHAT HE SAYS! hes got the thickest chinese accent ever. and he talks really fast and balls of spit form at the corner of his mouth and it is DISGUSTING! im only sticking with him cause hes supposedly easy.
but tons of peeps have lunch 8 so its all good.

so there've been HUGE budget cuts in the city. my school lost 1.3million in funding. a ton of classes have been cut and clubs lost funding. atleast they fixed all the escalators (which cost them another mill).

dude. this is sooooooo depressing. school starts tomorrow. and i could have been enjoying my last day of summer on the beach, but no, im stuck at home feeling shitty.

so yesterday was sept. 11. it didnt feel like it though. nothing at all during the day acknowledged it (that i saw). its weird not to be in school for it. usuallly we have a moment of silence or something. i cant believe it was 3 years ago.
i remember i was in 3rd period, when the guidance counselor came in and told us a plane crashed into the twin towers. it sounded so ridiculous at the time. how could a plane hit a building? everyone was sent to the roof and the sky was all smoky and shit. we stayed in our homerooms and didnt go back to classes. parents started to pick us up. they informed us about what was happening. the pentagon, both towers, other planes, airports all closed down, terrorists.
we walked home cause the traffic was stopped like crazy, and there were ambulances going downtown every five minutes. we spent the night watching the news on tv. the planes crashing, people jumping from the 80th floor, the towers falling.

wow, i have updated in forever... but oh well...

practically everyone outside of NYC public schools have gone back to school. its sucks cause it means the summer is really over... i only got 5 days left...

so we had this end of summer labor-day party which was awesome up in New Jersey... we all pitched in and got Denver a new surf board. he was so touched he started to cry! then everyone ate a lot and everyone drank a HELL OF A LOT... my dad was dancing and it was SO embarrassing. i mostly hung out with clay, cole, denver and their friends. we went tubing, and me and jamie just sat back and laughed at the boys getting whipped around and getting cold. jesse tried to scurf, but i dont think it was very sucessful.

the next day everyone started to leave, and it was all depressing... but then it got a hell of a lot better when Greg (a neighbor) took me and Rachael driving in his Corvette (convertible!). it was the first time id ever driven a car, and i did so much better than i expected (even if we were just circling in a parking lot... haha). the slightest touch to the pedal made that car go so fast! rachael has a lead foot, and now Greg calls her speedracer.

later that night, we were making fun of greg, and he started to drink out of a sippy cup cause we were throwing rocks in his cup. and then i told him jokingly that his jeans were so last year.

what a great weekend.

ps. im back in the city. finishing some back-to-school-shoping. preparing to move into a new room. and bracing myself for school

ok.. well...

french people left today. i think they left less happy then when they came... and its cause i wasnt there all the time to be w/ them. in fact, Cyril (pronounced cereal sorta {i know its weird but its french}) sat me down one day at the beach and told me why he was upset with me and being here, and he made me feel like shit. so i was trying to pay more attention to them, but they still might never come back. but of course ive got to get dragged over there every year. oh yeah, and this was just after he just sexaully assualted/groping this 13 year old girl (THIRTEEN! AND HES ALMOST SEVENTEEN! 17!) (although she didnt stop him so its not exactly assualt, but the age difference should count for something!) while they were in the water right in front of everyone. then they run off into the dunes to do god knows what, but everyone had one thing on they're mind. so everyones thinking SLUT, and how can Frenchie do this especially when the girl's mom got a mob boyfriend.

well they finally came back, and all the adults consulted Cyril's mom saying he shouldnt do that, that we dont do that in AMERICA. and she started crying and it was a mess, and then cyril and the girl got lectured. and then after that is when he made me feel like shit.

but u dont want to know about that.... its just been something on my mind. anyway theyre gone, so i shall clear it out of my head.

g2g, whose line is it anyway is on. HILARIOUS SHOW!

so im still at the beachhouse, havent been online for a week. but whats new?

the gosh darn French people (some family friends) came a couple of days ago. its been hell cause i cant do ANYTHING without including them, and when i do (which is always cause my dad has a fit when i dont) i have to translate every fucking word. PS my french SUCKS!

the younger one is going through the 'awkward' stage, and hes sorta a loner. and the older ones all like clingy and touchy-feely and im like EW! (not that good-lookin) everyone expects us do be the bestest friends which is retarded cuase theyre leaving in a week anyway and i dont like them.

g2g, more later
