Sept 10

today was a pretty good day. i got a math worksheet back, and i was one of the only ones that did pretty good on it lol. we had a spanish quiz today, and i like totally forgot how to write and say the verses! i felt OK about it before i took it, but yeah. but most of the rest of the quiz was on clothes, and we were not really told to fully study those, so we had an overhead with the pictures and the spanish word on it, so i think i did okay on the quiz. i got a spanish paper back today and my teacher had written this on it: "You're doing so well, Julie! I'm glad you're trying so hard. It's especially good to hear your pronunciation getting better every day." i thought that was really nice of her. as hard as spanish is for me, i AM trying hard, and the teacher is pretty nice, so it's cool. i really missed melK and bethN today (and melG). in theatre class, they talked about how like if you have to be sad/crying when you are acting in a play, you can think of a time when you were sad to help with it. like a song or a smell that makes you sad. or the same with making you happy. and i have like say...a bible verse beth emailed to me or a song i heard with her that when i hear it i think of her and get sad cause i miss her. or like mel has this perfume or lotion (i guess it's her perfume or lotion lol), and if i smell anything that smells like it (or when she was here and the downstairs would have her smell but she was at work or something. or the clothes she gave me, they used to have the smell lol), i get sad cause i miss her. same with songs, etc. i heard with her. and melG, at camp she played a song and everytime i hear it i think of her and miss her. I LOVE AND MISS YOU! i'm so glad i have 3 awesome older friends people still in town. it makes missing the others SO much easier. even though i may not really talk to them or whatever, just them being there and seeing them almost everyday (billie and harsh at least) helps. billie, mrs harsh, and bethH--I LOVE YOU! anyway, enough of that. what else? hmm. musical tryouts are prob thursday. we have to sing in the tryouts (hmm duh it's a musical lol). i'm trying to decide what to do. i'm not really a singer, but i want to be involved-maybe stage manager or something. but i was thinking about it tonight, and i really like being IN this school stuff. a small part with not much singing (even with a group like a chrous or something would be okay) would be great with me! lol. so yeah i'm trying to decide if i want to tryout, and what i want to sing in tryouts. the only songs i think i'm really all that great at singing are Joseph musical songs, and i'm not really sure i want to do that. so yeah idk. tonight i went to the football game then billie had invited us to her fiance's house (he's out of town) to play video games and hang out. we ended up watching a movie. 'waiting for guffman' or something like that. it was pretty good. i really enjoyed it. i rode there with carrie (and jess), cause i don't want to/can't go on the highway (parents' reason--not enough practice with them on it, and i sometimes freak out when i do do it), and so i couldn't really follow them cause they would prob get on the highway. i had planned to come home (cause at first carrie's car was gonna be too full but there ended up being room cause some people went with others) and then follow mom to the place, but i didn't know which apartment it was and all. but i drove to the football game, so i had to leave my car there for now. i prob could have driven myself following them cause they never got on the highway...well that's pretty much my day!
