*Phew* It's Friday...

Well, guess what? Today Wendy called and told my Dad, "Oh, Kristin's name is The Union [local newspaper]!" Later on he called her back, and apparently I'm a finalist for the writing contest I entered a while ago. Here's the article, though the online version doesn't mention names for some reason:

I'm one of twelve finalists, out of 132 entries. ^_^ I actually posted the story a while back in my journal... It's the one called "Embers". Hope I do well... I have to go on Wednesday to the library for the awards presentation.

Let's see...today was good, albeit tiring. Mom drove me to school today because she's feeling better, so for once this week I got to see my friends before class.

In Creative Writing, we listened to stories and I played with a paper clip. Go me. Rae fed me pieces of her bagel.

In USHistory, we watched a random documentary on the Holocaust, which is, of course, so, so sad. ;_; I've always been fascinated by the Holocaust, just because it was so terrible. It's hard to believe how awful the human species can be...

Anatomy was great fun. XD We basically tested each others' eyesight for the entire period. Poor Erin was the only one in the class with glasses, and when she took them off she miserably failed EVERYTHING. I, however, have better than 20-15 vision. :O Meaning I could see the bottom line perfectly about twice as far away as you were actually supposed to stand. Everything else in my eyes is normal, too.

During my TA period, I made a few deliveries and then studied feverishly for my Trig test, which went over fairly well. I think I did okay...

In English, we ate cake for no apparent reason and I worked on my final. I somehow managed to draw Naruto without a reference, which makes me impressed with myself. Granted, it's just his head, but still. I need to practice him... His hair throws me off for some reason.

Then I went home and cleaned the dove cage and such.

Facts about the days I missed:

- In Anime Club, my DVD player wasn't working with Mr. Davis' TV >< so we ended up watching Shikamaru vs. Temari. XD Ricky, being the freak he is, went on the computer, somehow surpassed the adult-content blockers, and was looking at yaoi. The boy is STRAIGHT. I don't know what's wrong with him. XD
- Mau is a fun, fun game. Rosie, David, Laura, Kirstin, and I played it on the choir room floor on Thursday after school. It was Laura's first time playing it, and one of the rules is that you can't talk about the rules, so we laughed at her when she got confused. I got second place to Rosie.
- I'm really quiet around people I don't know very well. ._.; Francine picked me and her daughter Gabriela up from school every day this week, and I barely said a word. ^^;; This is saying a lot, considering I'm a total loudmouth.

FANIMEEE! The plans are going excellently so far. :D Cody's driving Zoe, Makayla, Ciera, and Roya, and my Mom is driving Ryan, Nicole, Selah, and me. :) As far as hotel rooms go, Zoe, Makayla, Ciera, and Roya are getting one hotel room, and Cody, Nicole, Selah, (my Mom and brother), and I are in the other. I'm all registered, my hotel room is reserved, and I'm going by the seamstress' this weekend hopefully to get that costume going ASAP. I can't wait!

Okay, a few dreams that deserve some writing down:

( Dreams )

Wow, I've been working on this entry on and off for about three hours. O_o; Better stop here.
