My friends know me so well.

So yesterday was my birthday and I had a sleepover with 9 other girls and we went out to Chinese food and ran around my neighborhood and played Apples to Apples for two hours. It was so much fun!

 Also... One of my friends got me a life-size stand up of Ron Weasley!!!!! gjalkghalkjhglaierhg so perfect.

 

My other friend who is an AMAZING artist, made me a wand, and my card was the Marauder's Map! Even the bag was cool!

I also got a necklace with a quote from Dumbledore in it which is AWESOME.

 

My boyfriend got me this really cute ring (the heart one):

 

 I'm also getting custom designed Harry Potter shoes from my other friend, but they're not finished yet! I have awesome friends.

Next week is when everything starts I guess. I have my first XC meet on Friday and LINK training on Tuesday. The back to school day is on Thursday I think. Woot woot.

School is Starting Before School Even Starts!

Cross country starts up tomorrow bright and early at 8:15 AM.

I've gone through 4 out of my 12 sources for my E.E. Oh my gosh they take sooooo long to get through.

I've read 2.5 out of four of the Summer reading books for English. I probably won't even read the last one because it's super long and looks boring.

I'm going to turn in my application for volunteering at the Chinese Garden on Wednesday for CAS.

Tomorrow I'm meeting with my LINK group to get in touch with our group of Freshmen and then we're meeting the Freshies at Starbucks on Thursday if any of them show up.

I do have exciting news though! My friend, Rei, and I are the new heads of a group called the Oregon Green Team and we're going to fundraise so we can go to a school in McComb, Mississippi during spring break and talk to the kids about recycling. We're also going to bring them new school supplies because their school doesn't have very much money at all. I think this will be our CAS project thing, and I'm super excited because it's going to be a really cool experience. Except apparently we have to speak in front of the City Council and I can't do that. At all. So we'll just find some really good speechies to come with us.

Also my birthday is soon! Woot woot!
