So since I'm sitting here writing this,

that means I survived the first week of Senior year.

:D

 

Let's start with last weekend first,

Rachael and Jenay came to pick me up and we went to eat at CiCi's.

Then the three of us went to meet up with Daniel, Jovie, and Jen at Firewheel.

Daniel and Jovie ditched us early for a concert.

Rachael, Jenay, Jen, and I somehow figured out how to waste some time.

We wound up watching a special showing of Spiderman 3 the mall had that night.

But no, it wasn't inside the theater. It was outside in that wide open area behind the fountain.

It was pretty cool, except I wish we would have had a blanket to lay down on.

 

Now we're 24 hours before the first day of school.

I spent most of my day doing nothing, online actually...

The day was pretty good, then something extremely random happened that night.

My Mom gets a text from a number not in her phone..saying, "Hey"

She read the number out loud, and it sounded familiar to me.

So she read it again, I took her phone, typed the number into mine.

And why did I know the number? Because it came up in my phone with Julio's name.

-.- Wow...hahah. I texted him and was like you texted my Mom's phone, why?

He apologized, we texted for a little bit...then he called me.

We talked for awhile, which isn't something I normally do.

But since we had our issues at the beginning of the summer.

I figure this would be a chance to work things out, we did, and then my phone died.

That's the only reason our convo ended at like 1 hr and 15 minutes...lmao.

It had gotten late anyway though, so it was kind of a good thing.

 

5 am didn't feel as early as I thought it would when it actually came.

I actually felt slightly energized after I got up and showered and was getting ready.

Got to school, there was a HUGEEE line to pick up our schedules.

By the way...one of the problems in my schedule did end up changing.

But, apparently, it didn't really matter. Because the class was both periods.

So I'm not sure on that, it confused me. Oh well.

My actual schedule looks like this:

1st period was just confusing. She was already talking about math.

And I was NOT even awake yet. So it went in one ear and out the other.

2nd period seemed pretty hectic. There is a whole bunch of kids this year.

And more than definitely not enough helpers. Can we say challenge?

3rd period we went out to Firewheel to shop for shirts for performances.

4th period, found out over half of our class is now freshmen.

It's crazyy, but hopefully the outcome can still be really good. :D

 

Day two of school. 1st period wasn't too bad.

But we kinda jumped into a lot of work, pretty fast.

I was like ahhh...but it's nothing I can't handle.

Umm 2nd period, was also jumping into work.

But that's wasn't bad at all either, really.

3rd period. I met all the new aids.

There are a lot of them, so it means less work for one person.

Awesomeness. :D

4th period. I went to the cafe to turn in the aid form.

Then I went back to the choir room an did my English homework.

 

Day three. 1st - We got into more work. :/ And were assigned homework.

I understood it at the time, but I definitely did not understand it later.

2nd -I have basically been assigned a new partner, her name is Gabby.

She's so adorable. :D 3rd, umm, we listened to music possibilities for our stuff this year.

4th, I had to take roll. O_o it would have helped if we played the get to know you game thing.

Before I had to take roll as opposed to after..but you know, gotta do what I gotta do right? haha.

 

I realize I have already typed a lot.

And I'm getting tired/lazy so I am probably not going to have much more detail in the rest of this.

 

Day four. It was weird 1st period. Cause Bland was there for like 15 minutes.

Then Scanlan came and got her and after that we had a coach and 3 different subs in our room.

O_o. 2nd period. We did some lame project, which forced me to talk to people I don't really know.

Egh, cause I don't know anyone in that class, really. The few I do know, I don't really talk to.

3rd period, met some more new people as some got transferred in and out of being a counselor aid.

Went down with one of the new girls and talked to Mrs. Aronson for a little bit.

It was funny because Josh was in that class, and he never noticed I was in there.

Even though I was standing there for abuot 10 minutes and talking and everything. xD

I had lunch with Amber...then 4th period. Daniel got transferred in to the Teacher's Aid too.

Jovie came down to visit. We had a party after Daniel and I did our Calculus homework.

(which we did all wrong, btw...) bahah.

 

TGIF! 1st period. Got textbooks. And went over homework that I did wrong here and there.

2nd period. My partner was not happy at all, all period long. Eh.

Amber saw me while during that period. She might be transferring in there.

So that we can drop stupid Calculus. :D That could be fun(:

3rd period. Decided on shirts, finally, and listened to more music possibilities.

Also had visits from Elisha and Morgan! xD

4th period. We were separated into parts. A lot of tenors this year.

We did some sight-reading stuff, and that was pretty much it.

Raleigh came and visited for the 2nd time this week now.

Then I saw Ariel after school. As well as Lizzy.

I actually wound up taking Lizzy home, or she would have been at school for like an hour.

Got McDonalds on the way home, and then crashed for about 3 hours.

Even with that nap, I slept great when I actually went to bed for the night.

 

Got up considerably early today...haven't really done a lot.

I mowed the yard, but that's about it.

I feel like I had more that I wanted to say, that I've left out.

But like I said before, I'm feeling more and more lazy right now.

So I am going to be done with this blog now(:

It's about two minutes till 5 in the morning, and I'm thinking again. Yes, I know what you're thinking. Jordann, we've told you a million times before that you should not be thinking so late at night/early in the morning. But how do you stop it? I don't have that little on/off train of thought switch behind my ear that I have mentioned before.

Tonight's topic is time. Recently I was told that I have too much time on my hands. Because a night similar to this. I was discussing a certain thing that I just picked out to be a flaw throughout this past school year. I'm not saying that the person didn't agree with the point that I made, just simply meant that I basically was being extremely random and have too much time on my hands.

But don't we all? When you're sitting up at night, everyone in your house is asleep, none of your friends have stopped texting you, you've turned the music off so that you might actually be able to catch some zZz's soon. Then what do you do? You sit there, fiddling your thumbs, and let your mind throw whatever it has at you.

But actually when this person had told me that I had too much time on my hands, I was kinda shocked. Because I guess if that's the way that it seems then it must only be on the night-time hours when nothing else is left to do. Actually, in all honesty, if you were to ask me. I would tell you that I didn't have enough time, and that there should be more hours in a day.

I mean take right now for example. I'm typing this from my cell phone right now. One because I have finally decided to write this certain subject down, but two I haven't had time to actually get online from the computer. I pointed out to Rachael today when we were listening to my playlist for a short time that the last time I logged into Myspace was on the 3rd. At that, that was the only site I had time for that day. Facebook be everything else has been stacking up since before then.

Busy, busy, busy. That Friday, we went to eat at some pizza place at Walnut Hill and Skillman in Dallas. I forgot the name of it ...Picasso's? Anyway, it was really good. Then we went looking for fireworks, that we never found. So we all went to see Ghost of Girlfriends Past at the dollar theater in Mesquite.

On the 4th, I was up at 11 to get ready to go to Ennis where my Great Aunt Darlene lives. We were there from about 4:30 until I'm not sure when. I think we got home about 1 in the morning or so. But you have to keep in mind we were shooting off fireworks with the Tompkins for those last few hours.

The 5th was pretty well dedicated to the last minute cleaning we did on our house because we did so much procrastinating. And even at that not everything got finished.

On the 6th we finished everything and had everyone over for my brother's 15th birthday. It was pretty fun. I'm jealous at how much money he got. o_o. But it's okay, it all went back to my parents because he had to pay them back for Rockband.

Now the lucky 7th. My day started extremely early. Kinda like 7 in the morning tossing and turning in bed because I knew that I needed to be across the street. Yeaup, Jordann has a job. It's mowing yards like I used to. However it's only 2 houses instead of 3, same ones that I did too. Also, I'm getting paid way better. I worked from probably about 8:30 until 11. It took way longer than expected because the second yard was really grown up, and I also had to use the grass catcher and bag up his grass. In all I'd definitely say that I earned that 70 dollars. Next stop, Flight museum at Love Field with Dad, Joseph, and David. It was pretty interesting even though I was exhausted. We went to Cafe Brazil afterward, and then took the South Carolinians around exploring downtown Dallas. ^.^ That was also pretty interesting, but I think I can say I was relieved when I got home and could relax.

8th. Rachael came over. We went to Firewheel to see the new Ice Age movie. It started to rain while we waited for my Mom to come pick us up. Which in turn led to us not going swimming. But it's okay, we're planning a day for me to go swimming with her when I get back. Juliann also since I don't get to drag her into the pool on Saturday. Joshiee too since he and I agreed we haven't hung out in awhile. Sounds like a swim party to me! ^.^ Anyway, back to the day. Since swimming was out, my family plus Rachael went out to El Chico with the Schroer's and my Mee Mee. Then most of us went to the dollar bowling afterward. It was pretty fun. That's something else that I want to start doing more often.

I just have to find to. Argh. But yes, you see all this busyness, and you would wonder how a person could tell me that I have too much time on my hands. I even still wasn't done when I came home from bowling, I had to get packed. Now I am just laying here at about ten till 6 in the morning. Wondering if I should sleep a little bit before I have to actually get ready to go to Fredericksburg.

The random fact that I leave you with is a cool name that I put together earlier. Like if I ever wanted to temporarily stop being called Jordann like the way Amber is Juliann. I came up with Diego Xavier. Funny thing is, I don't look anything like that name. ^.^

~.Jordann_Justified.~

P.S. This one was written on two messages. I had filled up the limit on another picture message &; had to finish writing on a new one. o_o

-edit-

Well...I think I should add some more to what I wrote super early on Sunday morning before I post this note when I get online again.
Heh. So the trip down to Fredericksburg wasn't too bad. I was surprised I didn't listen to my iPod very much if any on the way there.
I guess I might have been trying to save the battery because I knew it would have to last me Thursday to Sunday.
Which is why I am not listening to it right now, because I am afraid it might die on me. Hmm, well, we got to the Sunset. Checked in. Chilled out then went to this place called Mamacita's. It was pretty interesting &; crowded with family.
Went back to the Tompkins' room (which was next door to ours) and watched the Knowing. It was a good but strange movie.
Next day went to breakfast with the cousins. Then kinda hung out and watched Jaws until we went to the first get together for the family reunion at 6.
We were there for a good while until we went to the bowling alley.
Jen said I go bowling a lot. But actually that's not true. I have gone 3 times recently. I went on the 29th for Jeremy's birthday. The 8th with the Schroers and Rachael. And then the 10th with the Tompkins. Jen just so happened to be talking to me when I'd go.
I do want to go more often. ^.^ Showplace lanes by my house does Dollarama after 8 on Mondays, Wednesdays, &; Thursdays.

This message was sent from a T-Mobile wireless phone.

^ Hmm, I started typing that stuff on the way home from Fredericksburg on Sunday.
But then I wound up driving for 4 hours. So my writing got interrupted.
So let me now finish telling you all about what I have been up to recently.
It's crazy how strangely layed out this note will be.
Just because I 've started and stopped at so many different points of time.

So what's next, Saturday? Hmm, well, the beginning of the day didn't start out too well.
Just a few issues and miscommunications.
I think it's easier to have problems when some people don't get a lot of sleep.
Or just...who knows what else was the reasoning for that.
Nevertheless, Dad went to the reunion early.
The Tompkins also left before us, and eventually...I drove Mom and Jason up to the reunion.
Everyone was getting their plates about the time we got there.
I guess I wasn't too talkative just because I don't like when issues come up and things go wrong.
But I ate, watched kids running around, and then I went to talk to Leigh Anne.
She was asking about my blog, and was saying how much fun she has reading about my life on Facebook.
Because it gave her a chance to stay more connected with me than she can with her other cousins.
So that pretty well made my day great from that point on.
I played a little dominoes during the auction that took forever...then went swimming finally!!!
That was the first time I had been this year. Gahh.
That's something else that I am wanting to do more often.
I have been trying to plan a day for me, Rachael, Amber, and Josh to go.
Of course, my family and some cousins would probably go as well.
Either way it would be lots of fun!
Hmm, went back to the reunion and a little something again.
We tried to go see the bats that they have pretty close.
We were late, they were early.
Third time is usually a charm, but not this time.
We got back and had a not so great encounter. -.-
Luckily we were able to get it all worked out.
Then we wound up back at the Tompkin's room eating Domino's pizza.

Sundayyy. I got up at 9. Because it was hard to sleep with Jason crowding my side of the bed.
So I was the first ready to be checked out of the Sunset at 11.
We were eventually all ready and packed up and pulled out about 30 minutes after we checked out.
We went to the German restaurant to eat with my Granny and Paw Paw.
It was pretty good, even though the waitress wasn't happy with us in the end.
I guess we finally left Fredericksburg at about 2:45.
Dad drove for an hour before his neck and back started getting to him.
Then as I said a little bit earlier, I drove 4 hours the rest of the way home.
I was so tired and kinda sore when we finally got home.
But Juliann decided to come visit anyway, xD

Monday. Relaxed and recovered from the trip out of town.
Went to my Mee Mee's later on in the evening to visit a little with the Schroers.
Then Amber/Juliann/Maria whatever she'd like to be called now and her boyfriend, Salo, came to pick me up.
We went and bowled 3 games at Showplaces lanes.
I finally bowled 100! It was flat even because I got 3 tries on the 10th frame.
But it's the first time I've bowled 100 since I started bowling again starting 3 weeks ago.
Before that point the last time I had been was when we celebrated my birthday in February.
I am pretty proud of myself.
Mom picked me up finally, we got some McD's and went home.

Tuesday [Since it's after midnight, AKA yesterday]
We restraightened up the house a little bit.
Then we had Mee Mee, The Janeckas, Schroers, &; Olmstead/Rondomanski families over for pizza.
Brittany hadn't come in time for tonight, but I bet some kind of plans will be made for tomorrow as well.
When everyone is here.
There were several pictures taken of me with little Lily. Hopefully I'll get some of those later.
Then all of you can see how cute she is, ^.^
OH. We passed the phone around earlier while Steph was on the phone.
I haven't talked to her in awhile, I'll have to apologize to her for not really saying bye before I handed away the phone.
But I'm sure she knows I enjoyed talking to her.

Well, I guess that is about it.
I think I kind of miss having time on the computer.
Because then I wind up leaving really long updates like this.
And then I disappear off the face of the cyber world for awhile.
Oh well, I guess summer is busier than I thought it would be.
And it's only half over...
Which means it's not time for those back to school commericials to come on yet, right Jovie?

xD
