What I Did Yesterday

Yesterday I... went to college at UWW. YAAAAAYYYY!

Which actually wasn't all that eventful. I went with my lovely talented cousin Mikayla, and I hung out in the library while she went to class, and then we basically walked back and forth between Commons and the cafeteria for three hours with huge honking backpacks on our backs while we were waiting for her next class. And then I went to her last class with her, which was a speaker (not her teacher) talking about internships and getting an interview and stuff. It was mildly interesting, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if she had talked more about how to get a job as a teacher, and not as a nurse, but as I was in a Health Career Exploration class, or whatever it was called, talking about nursing jobs was probably more applicable to everyone else. 

And then we went home and made a commercial!! And posted it on Youtube!!! Which is, like, the first time I have ever ever done that!! So it took us forever!!! But we did it, and here it is:

And yes, I realize it needs music and a better voice, but a) we spent probably an hour and a half trying to figure out how to put music on there without messing up all the other sounds and failed, and b) Mikayla and I were by ourselves when we were doing this, with no male people who had relatively epic-ish voices, so we made do with what we had.

Then I went to a youth rally, which was supposed to go until 2ish in the morning, and I was feeling like my gut was about to explode, so my brother and I ended up leaving around 9:30. Which makes me feel kind of lame, but I was feeling really sick, and all these people were expecting me to be super energetic, and I just couldn't handle it. So I came home and watched the commercial again for the sixth time and TOBUSCUS Minecraft videos until 11 and then passed out. But before I left, our youth leaders Megan and Andrew were introducing us (meaning me and some other people from our church) to these guys they knew. One of them, when he learned my name, told me "Oh, wow! That's a really pretty name!" So that was nice. It may not seem like a very huge compliment, but it was nice. When people give me compliments that are unique (NOT "oh, kira! your hair is so gorgeous and i want it!" i get that kind of compliment a lot, and it's nice and i appreciate it, but my hair has nothing to do with who i am as a person, whereas i think my name is something that describes me and my personality extremely well), I totally eat it up. I am the first one to say, if you want something from me, flattery will get you pretty far. My dad wanted me to get contacts, and he told me "Kira, you have such pretty eyes, and your glasses hide them!" And I was like, "Really?!?! I have pretty eyes?!??" And so therefore there are contacts. Just an FYI.

Today I slept in until 10:30 (which is unheard of for me. Usually I wake up around 8:30ish), then ate scrambled eggs and rice and a bagel and a pancake (just one) and lemonade (well, I drank the lemonade) and then went online, checked my email, watched more TOBUSCUS Minecraft videos, read my mom's wedding album, took a shower at 1:30 pm, and now I'm waiting for my hair to dry. Exciting, right?

Mundane

I have a follower. Woo hoo!!

Otherwise, not much going on.

I'm sick. And exhausted. And surrounded by empty cough drop wrappers. And exhausted. And exhausted and exhausted.

*sigh*

My life is mundane.

Okay, I take it back. It's not mundane (i love that word!). I just went to a 4H meeting on Friday (don't judge me... and no, i'm not explaining what 4H is to y'all. google it.) And next Sunday I'm going on a corn maze/hayride/sneezefest thing with (hopefully) a bunch of my friends, so that should be fun.

Oh, yes. I do have one bright light in my life... ALEX GOOT!!! ON THE BIG SCREEN!!! I mean, IN CONCERT!! AND I'M GOING TO SEE HIM!!! (i don't actually have this much energy right now. but eventually i will. and then it will be ALEX GOOT!!! IN CONCERT!!!)

I'm soooooooo excited to go see him in concert! In real life!!! With Chad Sugg!! AHHHHHHH!!!!! (for all you non-gootigans out there, look him up too. i'm serious. i don't care about the 4H thing, just look alex goot up! he will change. your. life. i promise.)

One more thing I did this weekend besides sneeze and sleep. I read. A ton. Five 300-ish page books total, I think. But "the one" that is most mentionable is a book called "The Book Thief." It was beautiful. I cried a lot. I laughed a lot. It was goot (didja catch that mikayla? :D).

Okay. I'll shut up. Time for some Bill Cosby and crocheting.

The Death of Ferdinand the Plantie

Background: The planties are from a Biology experiment from 9th grade having to do with getting little plants and subjecting them to various types of torture. Fedie was in my group, and his plant was named Charles Ferdinand II (aka Ferdie). My plant was appropriately named Cleopatra (the actual Cleopatra has a very famous death, for those non-history buffs out there), who was watered with salt water during the experiment. At the end of the project, miraculously, all three were alive. Even Cleopatra, though she was just about dead. Cleo died a long time ago, but Ferdie just recently passed away. I thought it was fair to let Fedie know what was going on.

fedie, this is a very sad subject... but i feel that you deserve to know... ferdie whatever whatever his name was... has finally died. we tried to keep him alive for as long as we could, but he just didn't want to live. i'm so sorry...

NOT CHARLES FERDINAND III

I need my space...

XD  well it lasted a while

To: Brandon Fedie <dragonclaw518@yahoo.com>

he had a good life... but he was probably pining away for cleopatra. she died a long time ago, and ever since he was separated from her, it's just been going downhill.

that loser.

haha... i tried to tell him to find another plantie and move on, but he wouldn't listen to me.

wimp.  i'm disowning him if that's the case.

 

From: Kira Lange <apricisunum94@yahoo.com>
To: Brandon Fedie <dragonclaw518@yahoo.com>

well, he's dead. i don't think that disowning him will make much difference to him anymore...

too bad.  it reflects bad on me if i let that kind of behavior slide.

To: Brandon Fedie <dragonclaw518@yahoo.com>

shame on you. it's all your fault he died (*sobs*)

 

 From: Brandon Fedie <dragonclaw518@yahoo.com>

To: Kira Lange <apricisunum94@yahoo.com>

how?!  he's the one who went into depression after Cleopatra died.  And you didn't inform me of this at all.  so how was i supposed to know?!! if you had told me i might have been able to smack some sense into him.  I'm now blaming you.

From: Kira Lange <apricisunum94@yahoo.com>
To: Brandon Fedie <dragonclaw518@yahoo.com>

okay, who was the one who tried to nurse him back to health? me. and who was the one who abandoned him as a young child? you. i rest my case. obviously, his issues with relationships must have had roots in his traumatic experience as a child.

From: Brandon Fedie <dragonclaw518@yahoo.com>
To: Kira Lange <apricisunum94@yahoo.com>

i didn't abandon him.  i nurtured him and let him grow.  When it was time for him to go out into the world, i let him go.  YOU were supposed to keep me informed if anything happened.

I did!!! I told you he died. You never asked about him, so i figured you didn't care.

Geometry

So we're learning about Deductive Reasoning in Geometry right now. Example:


A figure has four sides if and only if it is a quadrilateral. If a figure has four sides, then the sum of its interior angles is 360^o. Figure A is a quadrilateral. What can you conclude?

So I decided to make up my own:

A student will explode if and only if they are in a boring class for a long time. Geometry is a boring class. Kira has been in Geometry for a very long time. What can you conclude?

Freshies, Sleep Deprivation, and the Latin Word for Lead

Hello All of You Without Lives (just like me :)),

Some may think my title is slightly derogatory. It's not, I promise. It's just a fact of life. If you are reading this blog, you have absolutely nothing to do on a Friday night, and you life is a little sad. Just like mine. Sorry to put your life in the same category as mine.

I decided to write this blog because of three reasons.

 1. I am bored right now, and I have no life. And I am way to tired to go out and get a life. 
 2. My friends are tired of me spamming them constantly on emails.
 3. This way I can spout off my deepest darkest desires, without anyone wanting me to explode. (ahem)

If you're still reading by this point, I'm very proud of you. *applauds wildly*

Anyways, this week was the first week of school, and extremely hectic. I lost (wait for it).... 12-18 ish hours of sleep that I desperately need, I started AP Euro, and I turned 15, all at the same time. Oh my goodness. When will the craziness end? I am on a bus with all freshies, and I'm sad to say that I finally get why everyone hates them. THEY KNOW NOTHING!!! Schedule-wise, they're actually pretty good, but, well, I'll just update you on some of the highlights of my music-less, 45 minute bus ride.

"There are all these sophomores in my classes!!! It's like they failed a class or something!!! (this was referring to a Spanish class... Sophomores sometimes don't take Spanish I until sophomore year because they don't have time/room in their schedules/the desire to. I think it is pretty much impossible to fail a class like Spanish I.)

"My classes all have nerds in them!! It's like, ew!! Where did all these people come from?" (yeah, nerd isn't really an insult to us anymore. Find another word to put us down. Thank you and have a good day.)

"You're lucky. You have fun in your class. In our classes we actually have to LEARN! (no duh. You're in high school now. Hellooo??)

And that was seriously all I heard my whole way home on my first day of school. Italics, exclamation points(!!!), and ALL-CAPS included.

The Latin word for lead? Plumbum. I'm not kidding. Maya and I discovered it in Chemistry (our last hour of the day). It amused us to no end.
