If you took the GHSGT last week, how do you think you did? If you didn't take it, how was your week last week?

My week was AWESOME! Coming to school each day at around 12 was the best thing they've ever done here for us seniors. It's kinda hard to get back in the groove of not getting up at 10 oclock though.

My sister & her boyfriend Keith left for Hilton Head, SC yesterday with my aunt & her family to stay almost right on the beach. If I wasn't at school today, that's where I would be. I could drive up there when I get off work, but think I'm gonna stay home since I'm tired from 2 1/2 weeks of revival and have a sore throat. Where would you go this weekend if you could go anywhere in a 3-4 hour driving distance radius from Douglas?

I'd go the Macon mall and shop. That's all I wanna do.

If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

I couldn't. I think, eventually, having no variety would literally make me sick to my stomach.

I am sooo ready to graduate. The day looms closer and closer. Yes, I will miss everyone here, but I'm so ready to get om woth my life, out of my parents' house, and out of Douglas. Speaking of graduation, I am SO glad that the song Freebird did not win as our class song. I would have been thoroughly upset if I had to sit through the show choir's rendition of that super long, horrible, non-relevant-to-graduation song.

I come from a rather large family. My mom has 7 brothers and 1 sister. My dad has 3 sisters & 4 brothers. All from the same mother & father on both sides. My parents have been married around 30 years. I have 2 younger brothers & 1 younger sister. It's rather humorous to people when they find out that my mom's last name was Day before she married a Gay. What's unique about your family?

My family's pretty big too. My daddy has 2 brothers and 4 sisters, and my mom has 5 sisters and 2 brothers. I'm not even gonna get into the numbers of grandchildren. My parents will be married 22 years on the 27th.

Well I had planned to freewrite on Michael Jackson again since that's what I did last time we had the opportunity to write about whatever we wanted to and since there was an article about him on MSN, but now that this "sub" has thoroughly ticked me off, my subject for to today has changed. I will now write about why teachers shouldn't be subs. Well for one, I don't think they should b/c some teachers come in and apply their own rules/work despite the lesson plans. For instance, I was in math class one day, and our very lovely sub, since she herself had been a so-called math teacher, made us do our work the way SHE thought we should do it, despite what we had told her and what the teacher had said. That is SO unnecessary. And today in this class. I was rereading the Michael Jackson article I had read this morning on MSN so I could do my blog, and that sub tapped into my computer and closed out everything, including my blog. I mean, first off, it wasnt like I was on a game or anything; I only had the article and my blog up. Then second off, he didn't even bother to ask me what I was doing or if it was necessary for me to have that open to complete the assignment; he just exited off and deleted my almost-complete blog. Completely unnecessary. And then teachers and other adults wonder why some students respond to them in the ways they do. So, to keep a conflict for brewing, I just decided instead to lay my head down until the next teacher came in. I'm so ready for the economy to get back on track so they can actually afford to pay subs again. I know that won't happen before I graduate, but still, I know there are students behind me who feel the same way.

I learned something new last night. Never store cupcakes in Tupperware containers if you want them to taste fresh. I finished baking the cupcakes Sunday night to bring on Monday as planned. Then, when I didn't have time to make the frosting, I put them all in large Tupperware bowls. Now, the icing is delicious and the cake part is kinda packy. Anyway, I'll know for next time. Hope you still like them! What's your favorite cupcake of all time?

I don't really like cupcakes; I just like the icing! :)

What's your biggest pet peeve? I don't think I'll share mine since some of you would probably be tempted to do it every day. :)

I hate when people jump in my conversation when I'm not talking to them.

Did you see the snow yesterday?!? It was quite the shock. I wore flip flops Saturday then get out of church Sunday morning to snow. Howbeit it, it didn't stick and was random throughout the afternoon, but it was still snow!

Also, due to the fact that I went home with some family & friends for Sunday lunch, I didn't get a chance to make the buttercream icing for the cupcakes. So, the cupcakes will have to wait until Wednesday since tomorrow is a hectic day with the SACS team on campus.

No, I stay far, far away from cold weather. I stayed in my room under a blanket texting all yesterday. Snow doesn't amaze me like it does some people; I've never seen it before, and I could go my whole life w/o doing so.
