OKAY!!!

BIG UPDATE NAOW. MUA HA HA!!!

*ahem*

Onto what's been up lately, if ya care to know. If not, why are ya readin' this? That's the real question.

Okay, so I last updated for TAKS.....hmmm.....okay, I know where to begin now.

In May, I took the AP World History Exam and I should be getting my results back in the next coupla weeks or so. I creamed my finals, pretty much creamed that two week chem lab (stupid goggles and goggle marks), and school ended without too much issue. Nii-san showed up at the bus stop on the last Friday of the year (he doesn't go to AHS anymore and doesn't take my bus route either) so I ran at him and jumped on him. (Yeah, I hadn't seen him in awhile.) June was long and boring. I drew, read the Scarlet Letter for school (still haven't done my four assignments though), wrote a script for my animation, signed up for ACC courses, worked on my Japanese, read lots of library books, and uh, lazed around, pretty much. Played PS2....Daddy announced he's gonna buy a PS3 and a 360. We finally got an HD T.V. and BluRay player, so our home entertainment system is almost complete. (Just need those last two consoles and hook a computer up to the T.V. permanently.)

So then on July 1, I got on a plane to Houston, transferred there, and got on another plane to Indianapolis, where I met up with my grandparents and we went home to Warsaw (took a long time 'cause of road work). Their home is so cute and comfy, we all get our own bathrooms, I can pretty much do anything I like. Pawpaw is gonna teach me to shoot a gun (he's a bailiff and said not to touch his gun without his supervision but that he'd teach me to shoot it if I like). I'm gonna get to drive the golf cart around "The Compound" (three houses on a lot of acres with corn fields and woods). I broght the Pentax K-1000 since Daddy never uses it, and I got all the 35 mm film in the house (again, 'cause Daddy never uses it). I have somehting like 18 rolls of film, 2/3 of which are B&W, but I do have color as well. I have a lot to explore here, so I don't think I'll get bored.
Pawpaw got out an easel, some canvas, acrylics, and brushes so I can use those. Grandma took me shopping yesterday and almost everything in all seven stores we went to was on sale. She got me new clothes and read this well, 'cause this is AMAZING: SHE'S THE FISRT PERSON TO GET ME IN GIRL'S CLOTHING IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS OR SO.
Yeah. I know. Wild, huh? But I like them and they fit, so, you know, I have a reason to wear them. My family usually shops at Target where all the girl's clothes are bright and gaudy and ick and uncomfortable, but she took me to Kohl's and some other store and we got some nice clothes and, like I said, they were on sale.

Daddy told my siblings and me to try and convince Pawpaw to get a 360 and play on LIVE with us when we get ours. I told Grandma about that plan and she loves it. Even though Pawpaw is Daddy's step-dad and came into his life when he was about 18, they're really close. Daddy is Pawpaw's boy. :3 My family is really close to my grandparents, while my dad's brother's family is an arm distance away. My grandma said that she loves them dearly, but there's just a distance, and she said if anything happened to her or Pawpaw, she knows Daddy would take care of the other. And of course, being the oldest of my generation in the whole family, I'm sort of a favorite. I'm getting so spoiled here, and I've only been here two and a half days. XD Grandma had a blast shopping with me and she even had fun with getting groceries. I put the soda on the bottom rack for her and unloaded the cart quickly at the counter, so she asked if I thought Daddy would send me up here every two weeks for groceries. XD I wouldn't mind it. I loved the plane ride and they actually fed us without charging extra! We had more to eat than a Lunchables and we got a whole can of soda if we wanted it. Is that insane, or what? I was shocked, but it was cool. I took photos of the clouds, 'cause they were so cool.

So I'm up here for July and I'll get to see the Amish while I'm here. I'm learning a lot from being up here. It's nice to get away from the city. Though, it's been in the 60's since I got here, and we might have to rethink out Fourth of July plans (swim party in 60 degree weather ain't gonna happen, let me tell you).

So for August.
Well.
I applied for a completely paid trip to South Korea. (It's a scholarship.) I'll hear back by the 13th at the latest, but if I get it, I'll got to South Korea for two weeks and return the Saturday before school starts (August 24 is the first day). If that happens, I'll stay here for an extra week and they'll drop me off in Chicago (it's one of the four gateway cities). Alice also applied, dunno if her application got in on time, since they changed the due date suddenly). I really hope I ge it. It'll be my first time out of country and, as anyone will know, Asia greatly interests me.

Okay, I think that covers almost everything.

Andrew and Sam, if you're reading this:

Andrew: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
Sammy: HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Fergus: See above. XD I love my cat. And he can't read. And dA is blocked at home, so he won't be getting on anyway.

Talk to ya later!!!

--Geeg

Flippin' cheesecakes, I can't change my mood on this computer. Shoot. Well, just know I'm insanely happy right now, NOT lonely at all.
