But the dreary day is making me want to stay wrapped in a blanket in a hoodie and sweats. France is gray, Buffalo is gray, so you're not missing out. Though maybe those clouds will shed some rain onto the streets of France. Too many sunny days can be depressing too, you know!
Anyway, yesterday was the first day of Senior year. I felt like a pro, waking up at six in the morning, putting on my Senior T-Shirt, and meeting Jeremy at the door (with coffee and a bagel in his hands!!). Mother took the usual first-day-of-school pictures and when I stepped inside Jeremy's car, Mest was playing! It was too perfect. We got to the school at 6:45 because Jeremy wanted the "best spot" in the parking lot. I'm not going to lie, I felt pretty powerful in my Senior shirt.
The annual assembly dragged. The rest of the day was okay. I believe open campus offically begins tomorrow. We're a good class ;).
Errr, today was fine. Actually, I'm enjoying the majority of my classes. I think I'm going to like Media Analysis because it's doing what I always do when I watch television...Analyze why the people who made the show or commercial added in certain colors or characters. Tomorrow we are talking about shows that have formed us as people. I'm not going to lie, I may feel a bit awkward saying that Buffy the Vampire Slayer and 24 were really important to me, growing up...
Personal Finance is great so far-we've done nothing. I sit next to Jeremy at the back of the room. Sidney and Joanna sit in front of us, so it makes for a pretty good time. I'm legitly looking forward to the class material. He has already given away several money making tips and I want to know more! Because I'm awesome and greedy like that.
Intermediate Algebra is just...math. I had a minor freakout today when my teacher told us to do a few problems. My head went fuzzy and I couldn't think straight. I was so stressed out about doing a math problem in class that I forgot what to do! I did the math homework at home and feel better...I may start some breathing techniques to calm myself down in the future...
Umm sociology is fine, government has been okay but my teacher likes to give us lectures on how we all believe the news when it only lies. I actually like Public Speaking. It's a very small class and I have no friends, but it works for me.

Bowling, Senior Tie-Dye, etc.
May I first mention that, Heather, I am very jealous of this awesome book store you ventured to. Take some pictures? I'm dying to see the inside!! Ohhh, my dreams of owning an awesome book store have just increased! And it sounds you bought some awesome books. Who could resist a book in FRENCH making fun of George Bush? Sounds delightful.
If you ever did go off to the beach, how was it?
Anyway, since Mike was sick on Thursday I went bowling with Jessie, Jeremy,and Jeremy's friend Poogie. Poogie is actually Connor,that kid I had religion with. Anyhow, we went to the Orchard Park Lanes but it turned out that they were closed that evening so we ended up driving to the Abbott Lanes. It was nice because there was only one other lane being used on our side of the building and we were able to be as obnoxious as we wanted. After our first few bowls I went to the counter to get some pepsi for everyone and the bartender asked me why we were spending such a nice Thursday evening inside an unairconditioned building, bowling! I told her that it was definately better than being at home without airconditioning anyway. For a moment she agreed with me and then voiced that she'd rather be home enjoying the heat than at her job and that me and my friends were wasting the nice weather away...Obviously, she likes to voice her opinions. This didn't bother me because she realized that it was "good for making tips," quite sarcastically =D. Poor woman.
After two games of bowling we quickly realized that I was the worst bowler out of the group. Go me! My high score was probably a 70 something haha, it was pretty intense. We played four games of bowling and it costed 24 dollars because there were four of us. If there would have been two of us it would have been 12 dollars. It was worth it though, we had a pretty fun time and we split the cost. We definately want to go bowling again soon!
The next day was Senior Tie-Dye. Jeremy parked his car at my house and we walked together to the High School, died a bit from the heat, found no cool people there, and went to be Jessie up her street. Dying coming back, we finally got in line to do our shirts. So we got a bit messie, signed the banner, ate some icy cream, and a group of people came back to my place for the party. The party was pretty fun besides for the fact that right when me and some other peeps were going to go swimming, it down poured. We would have still gone in if it wouldn't have been thundering. Anyhow, later on it cleared up, we went in the pool, called it the WALK OF SHAMEEEEEEE when someone hit the ball out of the pool and had to go retrieve it, and I had fun hitting the ball to my imaginary friend Casper. We watched Zombieland, played Uno, did all those things that teenagers do at partys...well, okay. We aren't the "cool" kids who drink and do drugs. Other than that, we had a pretty normal partying style for the evening.
Anyhow, the next day was Saturday and I wrung out my dyed shirt and put it in the wash. It turned out that most of it is white. I inquired with out people about their shirts and the all said that theirs was exactly like mine. So all in all, I suppose it was successful. I went to JOanne's with Jeremy and saw Jessie and Angela there too. We bought some decorating thingies and went back to my house, where Jeremy decided to use some of his iron on stencil thingies that he purchased. Then we got bored and wanted to go to the rink (well okay, I wasn't in the best of moods because of mother nature's wonderful gift. I was dragged but ended up having a really good time). So Jeremy called Jessie and we went to Frank Young's, where there was actually some hockey shimbizz going on. We ended up going to Skateland which is all the way out in Lockport. We even went past the drive-in that mother didn't want me and Jeremy to go to earlier in the summer! It was $15 for each person but we had a coupon from the Entertainment book that mommy buys so we paid 30 dollars for three people. We got in and they were serving unlimited drinks and pizza all night! We were able to rollerblade, do Lazer Tag, and bounce in the bounce house, and eat, and drink! all night!!! Anyhow, Jeremy got a bit defensive when some kid in a red shirt kept checking me out, but it just showed he cares =]. So that was fun. I don't feel like going into every single detail. Um, Jeremy had a fan club. Little like 14 year olds. Yeah...
Yesterday I decorated my shirt. I'll post pictures when I feel like uploading them from my camera. Um, Tomorrow is the first day of my Senior Year. What the eff, why?
Love you Heather!!! Summer went by supperrrr fast!!!

Weird Thursday
It is 10 o'clock in the morning and this Thursday is already spinning out of weirdness. First weird of the day consists of having driving lessons at 12. This may not seem weird to you Heatherkins, but I assure you that driving through Orchard Park for my first time will, most likely, be a weird experience. *ahem* continuing...
The second weird of the day came about when mother came up to my room around 7 to deliver the news that the computer in the family room wasn't letting her log onto her work screen, so mother sadly had to go in. Poor mother.
Now for the third weird. I assure you, this is the ultimate weird. This weird hasn't occured since...Well, I'm not really sure when. After pulling myself out of bed and thumping down the stairs to the bathroom so my bladder could have peace, I did indeed go straight for (sorry Heather) the coffee pot. Below the coffee pot was a note...MIKE HAS CANCELED GUITAR LESSONS FOR TODAY!!!! According to beloved Sister Kelly, Mike is sick and "sounded like Uncle Joe." With this in mind I laughed hysterically, felt pretty bad for Mike, and continued on the coffee drinking rampage.
In conclusion (yay Middle School essay writing), I have named this day Weird Thursday. Weird Thursday would not have been possible without Mike's help. Poor Mike.
In other news...
The refrigerator has stopped working. Dun dun dun....But really. So mother called Sears yesterday to see when they could come to fix it and they told her Wednesday. Next week Wednesday...Um, no. Sorry Sears, but we need to eat! So there goes all of our food and dreams of dips and things for my party tomorrow(no, I'm actually being a bit melodramatic about the dips. I'm sure we'll still get them.). These Sears employees are definately not as awesome as you are Heather. Best shoe saleswoman EVER.
Anyhow, my eyes are still a bit tired from sleeping and I may grab a bit more coffee. It's going to be another hot day, it's already 79. And today is also me and Jeremy's 5 month =D. We may celebrate it later with bowling. Wooooppieeee!!!!!
Love you Heather, I shall return soon!

Welcome, Sister Heather!
Yes Heather, I did indeed just cause the assumption that you are currently in France, spending your days in the Mediteranean studying God's love and forgiveness, as a nun. Congrats! You should be proud of this achievement.
I am sitting on the new green recliner, sipping coffee and eating pieces of provolone cheese with the smokey flare of Mike's hot sauce skillfully applied to their sleek cheese sides. I have only been sitting for a moment but it is so warm that the cheese is already soft. The thermometer reads 91 degrees, although earlier in the day it reached 94. Thankfully, the fan is blowing a delightful breeze in my direction. The back door is open; A bird obnoxiously chirps.
It is now one week until I start my Senior year of High School. I peek into the dreadful future and find the thought of Senior Tie-Dye day calms my nerves. At least I can make a mess with some friends on Friday and spend the rest of the afternoon swimming and running wild with those who have decided they'd like to attend my party! The goal to annoy the neighbors with our screeches remains. It is OUR TURN! =D
It has now been several weeks since our beloved Sister Heather has left for France. Indeed, she is not at all a Sister but a Sister. That's right. My sister! Being updated by her France blog has inspired me to share my experiences of my first semester through senior year to Heather by use of the same medium. No Heather, this does not mean that I won't be sending letters. You'll probably recieve many stupid ones...I'm bound to get bored on Open. And when I say "stupid" I MEAN stupid. Don't be surprised if it's a run down of the classes I hate or random jumbled thoughts of "dude, I'm hungry...Why did I not pack a lunch today?...Why can't anyone have a car..."
Orchard Park is the same as ever, Heather! I had my first driving lesson on Monday. My instructor's name is Earl and he is a cute old man who definately seems to have an interesting history. He has traveled to Europe many times! He took me to Chestnutt Ridge where he told me to follow the road and then he taught me how to back up and turn my wheel: push-pull and hand-over-hand (um, I think that's what they're called. Forgive me if my unintelligent side has just showed herself). While we were there we saw Corrections kids doing some sort of park duty. It was somewhat alarming until I realized the bright orange suits were the only aspect of their appearance that looked lethal. Anyhow, Earl was going to have me drive home but decided he didn't want to break my confidence. He explained that since it was near lunch, Orchard Park may be bustling and stressful to drive through. All in all he told me that I was doing a great job. =D Points for Shannon!
As the afternoon dwindles to evening I will relieve my fingers from the keys of Avril-Cherrie the Pink Laptop (no, that was NOT an attempt to name her something French. After seeing it in type, I decided that leaving her as only Avril WAS a bit stalkerish, thus the name extension.)
Hehe, I'm having a lot of fun with this...
And Jeremy says "Hi!" and so does Mocha! Everyone sends their love! I shall return...
