my standing threat of *insert random threat here* obligates me to update this thing at least once a week, however i’ve realized that doing such allows me to forget certain things that may have had significance on a particular day, but not necessarily in the grand scope of an entire week (and thus also leads me to write more *uninteresting* entries, by JM’s standards). take today for instance…

today in euro i finished my spanish homework *and* my calculus homework, which was rather exciting, because i used to not be able to do anything but euro in euro 😀 but now that AP tests are over, there’s time to do stuffs… oh! and i found out that i still have time to turn in my permission slip and money for the trip next week!! muy exciting… then spanish was mildly exciting b/c i won a funny puzzle thingy at the beginning of class, and i got a reeses pb cup… and then my partner (for the puzzle thing) didn’t want hers, so she gave it to me, so i got 2 for the price of one 😀 then class went kinda slow… we were just learning the imperfect subjuctive verb tense *yawn* so i read some of my book while she was “teaching” us… then at the end of class, we got to watch more of the telenovela (spanish soap opera) that we’ve been watching… the plot is thickening quite nicely… see Andres was supposed to marry Laura through an arranged marriage, but he fell in love while abroad and proposed to another girl instead, Aime, who just so happens to be Laura’s sister, but Aime didn’t know it was the same guy, so she said yes… but *then* Aime met this guy, Juan, who she fell in love with and had an affair with… and Juan just so happens to be Andres’ illigitamite half-brother! *whew* but see, a rumor started going around that Juan got arrested in Buenos Aires, involved in dirty business dealings (which, by the way, wasn’t true)… but when Aime heard, she decided to marry Andres after all… then Juan found out that Aime married Andres, and he came back to Mexico City right away… Andres (who still doesn’t know that his new bride once had an affair with his brother) offered his brother a job and a place to stay out of a sense of obligation (because their father died before he could put Juan in his will, which he had intended to do; and Andres mother was dead-set against Juan sharing in Andres’ inheritance)… anyway, that was where we stopped today… oh! but first Aime and Juan got in an argument, and Juan told her that he didn’t love her anymore… i just *love* soap operas… and i think i like the spanish ones better than the american ones… the plotlines aren’t dragged out forever … less suspense, yes, but more satisfaction 😀  “curiousity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back 😉 ” oh! that reminds me of a good quote from my book that i wanted to put in my info! brb (as if you could tell) ok… now..

anyway, then in  lit we started to watch donnie darko… *good* movie… and i was reminded again of some of the really deep metaphysical thoughts that are expressed in this movie, which i might have contemplated further if it werent for the fact that i was so darn happy at the end of class b/c we got back our essays on “the hollow men” by t.s. elliot (which, incidentally, is a poem about death) and i gotted an 8 on it!! woo hoo!!anyway, then at lunch, i found it rather amusing that i didn’t say a word to ryan until about 10 min or so after he sat down at the table, and we were both already almost finished with our lunches… we also took turns reading the ingredient labels on each other’s ice creams– if that ain’t love, i dunno what is 😛 lol …. calculus was amusing, especially when JM *partnered up* with banana’s empty chair (as banana is currently touring europe…. ooo.. that makes her sound like a famous person or something!) anyways…. there were repeated attempts to find out whether or not she actually bought a ticket for prom.. but when i told her that my sister said that she did, she let something slip that makes me think that she did… she said “she wasn’t even there” so ha! … or maybe the ha is on me… oh well… we shall see when the time comes… but speaking of when the time comes… JM, i know you’re reading this, so if you *are* going to prom, we’re meeting at carlini’s at 5 for pictures and such, and then alex’s dad will give us all rides to the hotel… if plans change we’ll let you know… also if you have any ideas for post-prom plans, ‘twould be much appreciated if you’d give your inputs… any who… that pretty much tops off my day… so the end… for now…

peace
