Xanga sent me an e-mail telling me I needed to update so here goes.
I find out in two hours what part(s) I got in the play
It feels like Spring outside
I don't have to go to State High all this week
I finished my term paper, it's 15 pages and +3400 words.
Speaking of papers, I'm supposed to be writing a history paper right now on the electoral college. Anyone know anything about it?

Humm.... alright well, I thought that I had posted something a week ago but my computer didn't save it. oh well, it's not like anyone really reads this.
Fröhliche Weihnachten!!
Dec 6 is the German Christmas or Nikolaustag! On this day Saint Nikolaus comes to bring all the good little children toys but, he also brings with him Knecht Ruprecht (a.k.a the devil) and if you were bad he would spank you with a rod. In other parts of Germany it wasn't Saint Nikolaus who came but the Christkind (Christ Child). My Grandmother use to dress up in white, put a vial over her face, and go visit her nephew. She never spoke to him and he said it was years before he found out that it wasn't really the Christ child.
It is tradition at my house to celebrate Nikolaustag by decorating our house, getting our tree from Tannenbaum and making/eating German foods. Noch einmal, Fröhliche Weihnachten!*
“O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, wie treu sind deine Blätter! Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit,
nein auch im Winter, wenn es schneit. O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, wie treu sind deine Blätter!”
What different things do you do at Christmas time?
*Once again, Merry Christmas! (for those that don't speak German)

Ok so all of you know i'm too lazy to write an update and recap my summer. So i'm just going to say random things that happened and put up some pix.
Out of the +8 years i've been going to camp K, this year was the best ever!
L-R Sylvia, Crystal, Nocole, Erin, and Me
All of the girls in our cabin hit it off from the start.
Some of my friends from the past years were there too, so it was a lot of fun catching up with them.
L-R Titus, Crystal, Sylvia, Erin, Nicole, Me, Dan, and Ian ( who reminded me a lot of the lumberjack from Hoodwinked)
Lunch Time!
Our assigned table never won Goldie. But when ever my girl friends and
id would sit with these guys at lunch we'd win every time.
Titus and Ian could chug milk in about 10 seconds!
hehe the craft cabin lady didn't like me because i was too detailed!
RUGBY!!!
The team!
L-R Ben, mark, chris, Jake (who is not obeying dress code!), Big Dan, David T, Matt T, Steph, John, Erin, and Me!
*Notice the ratio of girls to boys, oh and yes, it was full contact!*
Happy Circle!
Erin and me with one of Dan's twin brothers, Ben (haha doesn't he look happy?)
L-R The other twin, Chris, Ben C, Erin, and some girl
Chris had me laughing all week with his deadpan comments on life. (the guy between erin and me is David Tanny)
Our awesome jeep that we made. (we won the contest)
Soooooooo sad that camp is over, but i'm happy today because Erin and I
are going to meet up with some of the ppl at the Grange Fair today!
Here are a few pix from the premiere night or High School Musical 2
L-R Rachel, Monica, Lizzy, Erin, and Me
(Erin and i are both wearing HSM shirts)
Erin <3
Lizzy was trying to teach Moni Ballet, it was pretty humorous to watch
More Ballet
yup, sooooo......school starts in 6 days...... i really need to find out where my classes are!
Btw does anyone know the schedule for the first day? I've heard many different things, so i'm pretty confused!
P.S
I got my hair cut yesterday, so i'm expecting some NICE comments on it when i see yall next!
Today i folded over 600 freaken napkins!!!!!!!
It's soo monotonous...triangle, triangle, turn it over, triangle,
triangle.....!! I got so board i decided to time myself, which is
pretty hard to do when the clock has no second hand. I can fold 5 1/2
napkins in one minute. Aren't you proud?
After napkins were finally done (2 hrs later) i went upstairs, ate an awesome freshly
made wrap, then put on huge rubber gloves, and rolled crab balls! I
love crab meat. We did +8 trays full of
crab balls..... i hate crab balls.....
All this wouldn't have been so bad if i hadn't
been schedualed right during childrens day, 9-3. I've missed it now for
about 3 years in-a-row!!
So now you ppls have to fill me in on what happened, what you saw, who said what, and what everyone was wearing.
