Sydney is over right now and she and Nat are downstairs talking or something. I invited a friend over as well since I'm leaving for Spain soon, and considering I haven't seen her in quite a while and probably won't for quite a while when I get back, I felt obligated to do so. In all honesty, I'd rather spend these last few days alone, but it's all good I s'pose.
Anyway, I'm pretty excited about Spain. Quite a few of my friends are going, as well as Vin. Vin's one of my old friends from middle school, he left after 6th or 7th grade. He's very smart and he's hilarious, but he's a little eccentric--which is part of his charm unless we are talking politics. Upon talking to him about politics fairly recently, he mentioned that Huckabee's policies were the ones he agreed with most out of all of the candidates and former candidates. This was utterly horrifying to me, of course, considering that fat man is the living, walking contradiction of the ideas most important to me. I didn't dare mention that the social policies I most agreed with Gravel's, but I told him that I was very socially liberal and that I was rooting for Obama (who got the nomination recently, YES!). Anyway, despite the stark contrast in our political beliefs, we get along very well and I'm glad he's going to Spain too since I haven't seen him in forever.
Also, just a reminder Nat: don't you dare pinch my butt in Spain. I'll assume you are an old Spaniard man and it won't be pretty.

Summer and finals
Well, it's been a while since I last posted anything here. I prolly don't have any even occasional readers after that depressing fiasco that occupied my last two posts, but I suppose it's nice to talk to myself too, every once in a while. Anyway, it's Summer and I'm ecstatic about it.
A lot of weird crap has been going on recently, in the last week of school that is. There's a mass exodus of teachers this year (about 7 are leaving, including 3 teachers I had). Frankly though, I'm not really upset. There's only one teacher out of those three that I had that're leaving that I liked--my Spanish teacher. She was fabulous. My health and scripture teachers... not so much. My scripture teacher thought I was a godless heathen and my health teacher, well... let's just say he left a not-so-nice parting gift in the answer choices on the multiple choice final. It was weird. Really weird. But I won't get into detail about that, there are other things to talk about and that whole situation was just too strange to explain.
Onto something slightly more interesting, someone hacked onto the school internet system thing and posted a fake honors biology review under the teacher's name. It threw us all off and it was... disastrous. I'm making it sound very petty, but I can assure you it was quite a big deal. The honors bio final was an absolute nightmare concerning it included issues such as the following:
1. We had missed about a week and half of school because of former teacher's death
2. We were being taught then by someone who didn't really seem to know what she was talking about
3. Our final was made up by the regular bio teacher--who didn't know what we had learned and whom we'd never met before
4. Some knucklehead posted a fake review on the school website to throw everyone off on the final
Anyway.... I'm going to Spain next week, so that's exciting. I'm a little worried about it, but it'll be fun.
