SWEEPSTAKES
...written on April 13, 2005, @ 16:15

We got one, we actually got one...

I wanted to write in here yesterday, but I had to do homework because I wasn't going to be at school tomorrow and I didn't want to be loaded down with all the extra homework. Plus Erika was out in the living room and I can't stand her so I just stayed in my room doing my work.

Dad comes home and he knocks on my door I say, "Yeah?" and nothing. He does it again 5 seconds later and I say, "Yeah?" again. Still nothing and he knocks the third time and I say nothing so he finally opens the door to let me know that I can drive up to the school tomorrow.

I went to sleep at around 11:10 and I woke up today at 5:30AM. I was so tired, but I knew that I had to get up. I took a shower and I wanted to fro my hair out, but it didn't dry the way I wanted it too so I just pulled it back as usual. I got me some waffles and syrup and watched Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. It was the ending. I didn't finish it all because I had to brush my teeth and stuff and let Bo out. I left and I got to school at around 6:55.

Because everyone else was afraid I went to ask Mr. Smith if I could drive up to 7Eleven. So after Linda, Tabitha, Jessica and I put our stuff on the bus I drove us over to 7Eleven. Jessica made me so scared to drive because my license was in my bag on the bus. But I made it back to find Garrett had stolen my parking spot, what a biotch!

The student lady took roll and couldn't pronounce Nyugen or Theresa. She said New-gin and THeresa (with the th sound). We just laughed about it. When we got there we lined up and Mr. Smith laughed at me because I had basketball shorts on under my dress and I was getting stuff out of my pocket. Then we all sort of made fun of this english professor bag. Man was if funny. We warmed up and then we played. It wasn't that bad, I messed up a little bit. My solo/duet thing wasn't so bad either. We walked off stage (we actually got appluads) and wait for the sight reading room. Once we sat down their announcments went on. (I think I did a kick ass job on sight reading.) We played and then changed. Jessica Hall's mom came and she gave us all hugs - the clarinet section - and Addison was like, "Is that your mom?" OF COURSE! I got on the bus after I changed - putting deorderant on as I was walking to the bus - and learned we made a sweepstakes. I was really happy because we worked really hard to get that. Mr. Smith even let me call roll, but I had to use the freaking mic.

Once we get to the mall I step off the bus and Mr. Smith said, "Next time, do roll a little faster." Hey, the mic was holding me back, I can scream louder. Good times, we just joke a lot. Jessica, Jourdan and I looked at dresses then we went to eat. The chinese food guy gave us a LOT of food too. We sat in a blue cadillac while we ate. Garrett called - during class - to see what we made and I told him we made a sweepstakes. He couldn't go with us today so he called me last night to tell me, aww it was so nice of him to do that. I actually found the dress I wanted to I'll have to drag Maile with me to DEB in crossroads so we can get it. If it's not there we will go up to Quail Springs to get it. I called roll again and the idiot people in the back of the bus were being loud.

We got back really early so Jessica and I went to get Math notes. Jessica left eariler than I did because she wanted to watch her soap opera because she didn't tape it. I left and got to my car as the bell rang. I was driving and I realized that Tyler was right behind me in his truck on his cell phone. It was so weird so I'll have to see where he lives tomorrow.

I emptied the dishwasher and everything. Now all I have to do it some math, look over some anatomy and color some of my cottage for english class. Yeah we have to draw a house for The Great Gatsby and make up a poem. I'm so not good at this making up a poem thing.

So Christina is a proud mother of some guppies. I didn't mind her calling me, it's just it was unexpected to hear it go off in English class. Shelly has changed and it sucks that I haven't talked to her in awhile. Once I get a car I'll visit them once a month. I want to at least keep up with and hold onto the friendships I have now. Like Wes, ha, we haven't talked since the last time he called me. I called him once since, but I got the answering machine. I guess I should call him and let him know we got a sweepstakes. A question that has gone through my mind the past while was, "Would I be friends with all these people if Wes was still here?" Do you know the answer to that question? It's "no". It's sad to say, but I wasn't as nice and outgoing as I am now. For some reason Wes changed me and I don't think it was for the best. I don't know, it's sad to say that his leaving was good, but on some level it was. If he was here I don't think I would've gotten that solo/duet part. I shouldn't blame him, I was like that because I wanted to be accepted. But anyway I still miss him.

I've started to play Final Fantasy again, just something to pass the time I suppose. I thought I have forgotten how to play, but it's like riding a bike or marching, you never really forget. I like it because it's more mental strategy than anything else.

Going for Sweepstakes No. 2 next year, me and Jourdan!

Theresa

P.s. it's pretty sad how Garrett and Mr. Smith can be proud of me and say it, but my parents don't. My parents won't even care that we made sweepstakes, they didn't even know I had a solo/duet. They're such great parents (sarcasm).
