Our 2 day "vacation"

So far, it hasn't been a vacation. My 15 year old sister(yes there is a one in front of that 5) just has to watch Spongebob Squarepants and Disney Channel. How old are we??? Anyway we're crammed into a spot smaller than Birchwood and I feel as though I'm at my wits end. Unlike a normal family, we can't go on a regular vacation. We have to change plans and find somewhere to stay because we were going to stay at my grandmother's house up there, but naturally she has to get a tooth pulled, so we have to completely change our plans. Then on the day that we were supposed to leave for vacation(today), my dad gets a work email, and we have to push back our departure two hours. We get here at 3:30, and while my mom is checking out the apartment, my sister, my dad and I are bringing up the stuff. Of course the minute we get somewhat settled, my mom decides to start up about how I should go walking around town. When it comes close to dinnertime I assume that we'll go out somewhere, but of course my mom has other plans. Insisting on going cheap even on "vacation" she decides that we will cook our own meals and my sister decides on tacos. It wasn't like any other of us had any choice. So they went out and bought that. They just got back, and this is where we are...oops, my dad told me to pick something up. I'll be right back. :) OK back. I'll let you know if I actually have fun on this vacation.

Haven't Written in a while...

Hi everyone. I'm really sorry that I haven't written. I have not been up to much. I am just lying down right now. I got back from vacation the monday after I wrote that last post. There is a possibility that we'll go back up north for a few days. I'm praying that we do. I'm even willing to give up internet for that time. It's not like I've been using the internet for much anyway. I haven't checked my email in so long, my inbox is probably overflowing. Anyway I think I'll check it. l8r. OH BY THE WAY, on another note we have to wear these stupid "lanyards" around our necks. They have ID on them. It's going to be terrible. What do you think?? Leave a comment!

Vacation day 1

Hey everyone. I'm on vacation as I write this. No, I'm not a posh resort or on a relaxing cruise... I'm in Harbor Springs. I wish you all could see me right now. We're at the Birchwood Inn. It's a motel-type place. We got a two room suite. It's nice, because I get my own room, and Lizzie, mom, and dad share the other. I gave up the luxury of a good night's sleep. The bed is an ancient futon that is just terrible to sleep on. But I digress. I wanted to tell you all that I'm having a wonderful time right now. Because it's so late, I'm locked out of the main building, and I am right outside, so I can get the wifi to post this. I have been to Turkey's a local restaurant. They do breakfast, lunch and dinner but it's not like a typical restaurant. They have very friendly staff. I was chatting with one of the employees, who goes to the local high school Harbor Springs High, or just Harbor High. Anyway, they have like 300 kids in their entire high school. We have 300 in our grade! I want to talk about Harbor. When I asked the girl what there is to do up here, she said nothing. I thought, wow nothing on Grosse Pointe either. She apparently goes to Petoskey, a neighboring city. Petoskey has a theatre, so naturally, it is more interesting. Because I'm not publishing this post immediately, I would like to say it's 11:59:54 PM on Thursday. Anyway I would like to say that I'm having a good time here.

I will be able to keep you updated on my vacation, and maybe I can get to my goal of thirty posts this month. Like I said earlier, it's writing month! Anyway I'm sleepy, but I'm going on vacation in Harbor Springs starting Wednesday night, so I'll try to keep you updated. Thank god for this vacation. It is definately needed. :)

Blogger in Draft






Here are some pictures of Blogger in Draft. I thought that the logo was pretty cool. I like the blue much better than the orange. The blue goes better with the color scheme.

Hell

Howdy all. No, I'm not from Texas but I can still say that. I just thought that I would give you an update on how last weekend went. I was, as usual, very bored and fairly tired after a terrible week at summer school. It did feel nice to have somewhat of a hiatus though. Well that's over. I spent most of last weekend watching DVD's and playing on the computer, however, I have gotten some reading done. I have to say that Harry Potter 7 is getting pretty interesting. I want to finish it, but I have been doing a lot of sleeping lately. To be honest, I would rather be locked in a 10X10 cell from 8-1:45 instead of this summer school. At least in solitary I would not have to deal with the people that I am trying to deal with. Notice that I said trying. I am about to explode. Anyway, I am never going to attend summer school again. That is a given.

More summer school

Hey everyone. I just want to give you all an update on how incredibly boring summer school is. I am tired and I feel like I could fall asleep at any given moment. Even worse, there's a kid next to me that clearly has some kind of a problem controling the temper. He has lashed out at a lot of people including the teacher and myself. I think that the kid just has some anger issues that need to be worked out. Anyway I have been having a horrible time here. I just want to go home right now. :) I'll try to keep you updated on all that is happening on my end. Have a better day than me.

Computer Screen

I have been staring at this stupid computer screen all day. It's driving me nuts. I can't wait to get to blockbuster and switch movies.
