gone...

are the days of summer and vacation. yes, it's a little late i know, but i've been busy. and now that we have our first three-day weekend, why not start now? so we've had our first week back to school and from the first day, it's been a let down. i was excited for five minutes and then i wanted to go back to my loving bed and sleep. i miss summer, i miss the little kids i was entertained by every day, i miss the care free-ness we were allowed to have. now we're back in school and strapped down with loads of homework so we have no free time to do anything. do they wish to torture us? it sure seems like it. i know it will pay off in the future, but i just wish we had a few extra weeks of summer to play.
the highlights of my summer consisted of july 4th and july 15th. july 4th was the first time i really ever saw anyone because of my volunteer job and whatnot and july 15th could possibly be the best day ever. i went to the jonas brothers concert with tammy and it was absolutely amazing. i expected it to be good but not that good. the set was awesome, they sounded awesome, and they looked awesome, cause that's just the way they roll. i miss that day oh, so much. it's been a month and a half but it feels like it's been years. i hope they go on tour again soon. tammy and i made a pact to save our money for better tickets next time. i know i've been doing well (i've saved over $100) but i don't think tammy's doing that well. it's okay, we have time.

anyhow, back to the present. my classes this year are:
period 1: chemistry w/ seals
period 2: AP world w/ bielski
period 3: algebra 2 w/ mccartney
period 4: spanish 2 w/ l.vargas (portables vargas)
period 5: leadership w/ harris
period 6: english 2A w/ mellera
my teachers aren't bad, but it seems like not that many people are in my classes. i'll just have to make do with what, and who, i have.

i'm getting a puppy in a week(: i'm so excited. he's the cutest thing on the planet! i wanted to name him jonas, and tammy wanted me to name him kevnijo, but my sister said "no, courtney. that's taking your OJD way to far." and she was completely serious, and her face was so funny. but, she is right. that would be going a little overboard, even though i love those three boys dearly. so anyways, i think we're going to name him boots because his paws are white but the rest of his body is brownish. but we're not going to decide a name until we meet him. i mean, what if he doesn't look like a boots!? anyways, he's a puggle, a cross between a pug and a beagle. he's adorable. i can't wait to get him.
