Creamy.

Just a picture I snapped earlier. The clouds were amazing. It looks creamy, doesn't it? I kind of wish the lamp posts and the buildings weren't there. =P

Yep

I just bought the new Coldplay Album, Viva la Vida. Wholeheartedly telling you to buy it. (Or whatever it is you do.) It's amazing.

Tomorrow I'm going to the Great Escape for Glory Day with a bunch of my friends. It's going to be a blast. It's become a tradition of sorts for us to go, and I can't wait!!!

Oh yeah,

IT'S SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't WAIT.

I love the Twilight series. They are easily the best books I've read. A few months from now, the 4th and final book Breaking Dawn is coming out on August 2nd. (Two days before my birthday.) The series is SO good, since all of the books have been #1 best sellers, they're making a movie of Twilight coming out in December. The teaser is... Interesting. I hope they don't screw it up!

Romance Languages.

As of now, I'm the biggest retard ever. I was having this conversation with a friend of mine, and supposedly Italian is not only a nationality, but a language?

I also have the coolest friends. Ever. =D

Stress?

I'm fairly nervous. I don't like finals. Or regents. I don't like either.
But on the bright side, regular classes are now over TODAY! Too bad finals start tomorrow.

Three 100 minute classes Thursday:

• English
• Global
• Gym

Three 100 minute classes Friday:

• French
• Keyboarding
• Earth Science

Two 100 minute classes Monday:

• AIS
• Math

My classes are nicely spaced, I think. Of course, I don't have finals in math and science. Just review because the regents are next Tuesday morning and Friday afternoon...

But I'm still nervous that I'll fail the regents and have to take the classes over again with Sweaty Armpits & Shepshep. *Cringes*

I Like Food.

The 30 Hour Famine was awesome! I had a great time. Except for the whole being hungry part. Living for Later played, and we mostly just hung out Friday. The majority stayed up till about 2:20-4:00 supposedly but I think that's wrong. Nobody really knows. We played catchphrase and we were hanging out in the sanctuary talking, while all of the adults except Mr. Straight went to bed at around 10.

Saturday we woke up at 8:30. That sucked. A hand full of us signed up to go to the City Mission to help. We had three options to choose from. It was either City Mission, Samuel's to paint, or staying at the church to clean. When we got there, it was incredibly hot and humid. We had to sign a waver, I think. I don't know why. Then we split up into two groups, and the group I was in had to do yard work and mulch. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be... I had pictured myself knee deep in mulch with flip flops on. I got some sun too. =] It was difficult to walk through their kitchen though. So much *good smelling* food!!!!!

After working for 3 and a half hours, we headed back to the church, only to head back out again. Only this time, it was to the mall for a scavenger hunt. We got into groups of 5, and we had to do the most ridiculous things ever. It was awesome. We got yelled at in Boscov's for going up and down the escalators (or...running up the down...and running down the up) too many times. Apparently they called the very scary mall cops, but I didn't see any.

We finally broke the fast after the 5:00 service ended. It was the best tasting food ever. I love pasta. I have pictures of the weekend on my flickr, so check them out. =]


{Wednesday classes end.
Thursday finals start. End on next Monday.
Next Tuesday & Friday are Regents.}
Summer!!!! (&& Glory Day ;)

Be Hungry.

Tonight, (or should I say today?) is the start of the 30 hour famine. Basically it's an international event where various church youth groups fast for 30 straight hours to raise money for the thousands of kids who go hungry everyday. I know the church has done this before maybe 3 years ago, but I didn't for whatever reason.

I haven't eaten anything since lunch ended at 11:20 and it is now 4:45, and I'm pretty hungry. I'm actually fasting just a tad longer than 30 hours, because of my lunch schedule. It's incredibly early than other peoples. What sucked was when I got home, my mom made my sister and I some food, and I was like, Yay!...crap. Hopefully this will get easier with people fasting with me. =P

I'm going to try and blog through it, but I'm not entirely sure how well it's going to work out. I know we're going to Samuels in the morning tomorrow, then going to a soup kitchen later. We're breaking the fast after the first service on Saturday, which ends at 6 I believe... Oh. I should probably go pack.

Less than 26 hours to go!
