Today... and Practice Yesterday

Anyways, we had fun times today. We basically didn't do anything in Mock Trial; Pink Bunny and I tried to help Lisa sort out her problems, but I guess Pink Bunny sort of gave up and just did our witness statements. I feel so insignificant though; I can't help Lisa besides saying stupid stuff like, "Don't worry, you'll be fine," or "Just give it some time." UGH. I wish I could help her! =( On a happier note though, my other two friends are no longer depressed! Yay! Well, they're still sad, but not majorly. =D
In ceramics, I started making my coil mug pair, but I'm kind of apprehensive, since I picked up my coil vase today, and the neck totally fell off. Watch, I'll make the mugs, fire them, glaze them, be all happy, take the home, then try to use them, and gasp in horror as the handle detaches and the mug falls to the floor, shattering into a million shards of porcelain and leaving a HUGE dent in the hardwood. XD
English was pretty fun. We're reading To Kill A Mockingbird, and it's actually quite interesting. Then we finished our questionnaire; there was this one question that said, "Draw fear," so I drew the eye on top of Sauron's tower. XD I'm such an LOTR nerd. Haha. Then we had story time!!! Yay! Reminds me of the good old days...
Then in biology today, we had our test on Cannery Row, which I KNOW I failed, due to the "irrelevant" fact that I didn't read the book. Haha. I still sort of remembered some stuff from when I read it like, 3 years ago, but I basically guessed on all of the questions. At least they were general though, so I might get like... 40%? Then we went over the "Do's and Dont's" for our field trip to Monterey Bay Aquarium tomorrow. I'm going, and I'm so happy! Yay! But no one I know is going, so I have no idea who I'm going to hang out with. o.o Oh well.
After school, Ellen (Liang) came over to my house to teach me some flag work, and we ended up spending like, 15 minutes on the work, and 3 1/2 hours gossiping and braiding each others hair (we were trying to figure out how to do our show hair for the competition Saturday). It was quite fun. XD

Flashback to yesterday, our practice actually wasn't that bad. We concentrated on the opener, and I'm pretty much set for everything but the new work (but that's troublesome, because the new work is the 18 count move forward and 12 count move sideways, where I'm at the very front of the field, almost smack in the middle). But then we got a full run-through of the opener, which was really funny. Basically, we didn't do the lift on one of the run-throughs, so we had to "pretend lift," and when Boozer was pretending to lift me, I was pretending to hold on for dear life, and since we both went forward at the same time, he ended up punching me in the face. XD It was rather interesting. I get so tired by the end of the opener though, it's no even funny. Like, I can breathe and everything, but it feels like I just ran... maybe half a mile. And my arms are sore. Lol. So yeah, yesterday was pretty good overall, and the "''pretend lift" incident was hilarous.

Oh, by the way, if you haven't noticed, I added a little chat box on the side. (I stole the idea from Courtney; she has one too.) Feel free to post some random comments there!
