7:20 pm - If you give a kid a cookie...
|
I brought cookies to school today for advisory. Then I had left overs. So I gave them to people in exchange for their names. it was fun. Cookies make people happy (and, as Ethan pointed out, fat, but oh well).
In Biology we learned about Ionic bonds. I learned about ionic bonds in Chem last week so it was kind of boring. I decided that Ionic bonds are like hugs. Both of the ions are happy (have full outer shells) so they have a hug. If you say *hugs* to me and I say *Ionic Bond* back, you'll know what I mean.
*Ionic Bond*, Eliza

4:15 pm - Talking
|
Today I talked durring work period. A day work period should be called talk period.
I talked to Kay a little then I talked to Ethan alot and some to Lewis and Matt. We talked about Johnathan Stange and Mr. Norrell which I am listening to at the moment. We analysed all Fantasy books: Garth Nix, Eragon, Abarat and a little on Anansi Boys.
Ethan talks like you Leslie, fast and onto things, you'd like him (Well, perhaps aside from the ever-present black duster coat and the shoulder length pony tail which place him beyond dought in the land of fanatsy fans)
Then after school, while waiting for the bus to arrive I talked with Noah Dodds and with Ethan's crowd again, with the addition of his girlfriend Camile (Who, dispite being a freshman, is cool)
Oh yeah, before school Dad and I went into the town offices to ask a question and while we were there we bought a copy of the new Richmond history book.

10:32 am - My Pig Thu
|
|
So I had this dream last night. For some reason my mom and I needed to buy a pig cart so we went to Mongolia and bought this specially trained pig called Thu. They didn't have any really carts left though so we got a shopping cart. Thu was a really smart black pig. If you couldn't see him you could call "Come Here Thu!" and he'd come running from whereever he was. He also kept our sheep from running away. It was a nice dream. if I ever get a smart pig that I don't plan to eat I think I'll name him Thu.
On another note I did no homework this morning like I said I was gonna, but I don't really care. Dad and I went into the Village and bought a copy of the new History of Richmond for ourselves and another one for John Durrant.
I have Dalton's work period today which means I get to spend it talking to Ethan and Kenny and Lewis and the other kid, that'll be funny I'm sure.
hmh... I think I might have made someone in my RP mad, oh well. It's a really beautiful day today.
I'm done sewing my breeches except for all the buttons and button holes, I started to work on the shirt. It goes well.
I got 10/10 on my lab report for Bio. Big surprise, wicked easy class....
current mood: Random, cheery

I got my essay on Dugway road back. A- and "one of the best in the class." That's nice eh? I'm writing my second essay on how to wear stays (corset) and I think it's pretty interesting. I like this class.... (aside from the fact that it's mostly made up of college freshman boys, non of whome give a shit and most of whome seem to smoke *ew*) Oh, and I successfully drove there and home, always satisfying.
Tommorow I have a chem test, a spanish quiz on the preterite and a Bio quiz. And I have to ride the bus. I'll probably at least have time to work on sewing my breeches on the bus, that's good news.
I cleaned my room some this morning, partly just because it needed it and partly becuase Molly B (my friend who's been living in norway for the last 5 years) is comming to visit in a few weeks and will most likely sleep in my room. The cleaning was really inspired by the arrival of a bunch of cardboard banker's boxes which I was able to arrange my fabric into (6 boxes and it's still not all in!) I feel like my web life is dieing a little bit, and that I'd like to return to the real world, after having been in a fantasy all summer. maybe I'll start working on the costumes at the Royal Tyler (UVM theater) That would be uber fun, though working at lyric was always the best because no one is funnier thatn middle aged women. I don't know if I want to say this but I'm looking forward to being a jaded 40 something with a few kids. I think that would be good stuff.
I'm hoping to go down to Providence and Boston over teacher's convention (yes Caroline, Leslie and Meghan, I'll bring you down anything you need from good old VT in exchange for a tour. especially you carline) I want to look at MassArt, Brown, RISD and maybe a few other schools. I'd also kind of like to talk to Laurel Ulrich, but she's a proffesor at Harvard and probably won't have time for me, also, I haven't finished her book (the age of homespun) yet.
I feel like life is sort of mediocre and like I'm living for the future istead of the moment. Waiting for college, and the summer, and to graduate, and to get some money. Everything is waiting, or building up to something else. I feel like I'm carefully building a life without quite living it. I'm preparing to step inside and begin. I hope it doesn't fall down around my ears, that would be embarrassing.
I like driving by myself, I get to think to myself.

I have an ear infection. I haven't had an ear infection since I was, oh, six.
In other news:
~I missed school today and it wouldn't surprise me if I miss tomorrow too.
~There is a college fair at UVM tonight and Dalhousie* is going to have a table there but I'm to sick to go (and without transportaion ofther that the city bus)
~I'm trying to finish up this pair of breeches in time to be a really really kick ass pirate for Halloween.
~I'd also like to make a hand sewn 18th century linen shirt to go with them. he, fat chance that's happening (though on thought I do have a month...)
~I went to the Homecomming bonfire last friday and hung out with Bridget Iverson from TDI the who time. that was fun cause she's freshman this year and it's really easy to make her laugh.
~I can't get the bloody LJ formatting to get the bullets for this list right.
~I just watched PotC again. I was sick. it was mindless. On that subject I also suffered through all of Dukes of Hazard last night without commenting on it's utter lack of quality more that five times. As my mother pointed out, I really must be sick.
~Since mom's off at that Thing I have to go think about dinner.
I love you all.
I hope all you girls off at college are having a good time.
(oh, and by the way Caroline, we were looking at the Brown website and it looks really cool, if they had a fashion progra I'd go there, will probably still apply...)

8:42 pm - School... you know. it sucks
|
|
First day of MMU. That went alright, a bit tireing but not hard or anything. Chem teacher is cool. I think I'll learn alot in spanish IV. Pre-calc teacher is a bit stiff but OK. Bio seems irritating because it may say I'm a sophmore on my schedule, but like usual, that's wrong. Written Expression at UVM was ok. it'll be a challange, espesially becuase I'm the youngest in the class and so... don't really have anyone to "relate to."
Good thing is tomorrow I only have pre-calc.
A question: what do you know about discriptive essays? That's my homework for college. I'm thinking of writing mine on Richmond, as a town and as I know it. does that sound silly?
pardon the choppy sentances and good night, Eliza

6:57 pm - Jobilities
|
|
I went to get my Re-enactong shoes at the villge cobbler's and on the way out I saw a sign asking for help experienced in sewing. Gee I thought, and went back in. I'm pretty sure I can have the job, the hours are completely flexable and I'd be learning a cool skill. Downsides are that the guy who's shop it is is a conservative sexist racist (acourding to mom that is) and ex-miltary. It'd be an education in more ways than one!
Anyways, I'll go back sometime next week to try out the sewing machine I guess, could be pretty cool, you know?

7:14 pm - Testing 123
|
|
Last two days I've been doing some academic testing. The name of the actually test is the woodcock-Johnson and it's job is to test out how your brain works doing different things (in this case it was seeing if I am dyslexic, which I know already but I haven't been tested since 2nd grade so it's not really valid any more) There were some pretty interesting results last time since this is basically a really comprehensive IQ test. It showed me really high in a bunch of areas and then really below expectation in others. Anyways, it's always fascinating to see how your brain works, esspecially when the state is paying for it....
On another note I started driver's ed, Oh the thrill!

7:52 pm - Good Week, Bad Evening
|
First of all, the bad evening. So I was SUPPOSED to go to the Harry Potter thing w/ Phoebe and hannah tonight but surprise of surprises they apear to have blown me off. I'd talked to Phobes about going a few weeks ago but I was working all week and only got a chance to call them once and they weren't home. So Hannah calls today saying that their transportaion copped out on them ( I can only assume that If they'd had a ride they wouldn'd have bothered to call at all) and by the time I call them back this evening they have a ride, and halfway through my conversation her cell looses service. When I try and call her back shes not there anymore.
I HATE IT WHEN HANNAH DOES THIS! GRRRRRRR
Why can't someone sane like Leslie be here? I could/should/would go with her. *pouts*
Anyways, Good week. I just spent all week teaching at "a week in 1795 camp" with 21 little 8-10 year olds running around the Shelburn Museum, especially the Setlers house (c.a. 1795) and me helping them cook lunch over the hearth in my costume. It helped that the camp was 2/3 girls, and some of them were sooo sweet. One asked me for my email. She's the one I'd like to adopt, she gave me a hug this afternoon. ^___^ Not to mention all the little girls walking around me saying: "I like this top", "I think this is the prettiest one", "Did you really sew that", "I think you should where this one tomorrow", and of course "is that comfortable?" about my stays.
*sits and smiles* sooo cute
yeah, life is annoying some times. and sometimes, it's just so damn cute.
current mood:  Pissed

I love TDI. We WILL have a party this year. (Meghan, you need to get me your schedual)
On another note, I'm teaching at "1795 camp" at the shelburne museum next week. I'm totally pumped, they are going to let me where my costume and cook on the hearth while teaching what I love to little kids. not much better out there. (well, I guess them paying me would be better, but there ia always next year...)

4:48 pm - Off
|
So I'm off to TDI tomorrow. that means that those of you that aren't going to be here, and actualy read this (like 2 people) should expect less that I usually write, meaning less than nothing...
On that note, if you did read this, would you please leave me a comment so that I can sort of keep track of who actually pays attention. (I know there are some costumer's who have friended me back, and if you were to comment I might actually make an effort to write about what I'm sewing...)
anyways, I'm going to have fun at TDI even though I'm sick and I'm probably not going to get any sleep.

Off to cape cod till saturday in the morning. Gonna go hang with my mom's awesome cousins.
I just had a nice evening with M&M and John. I want to give Kudos to Meep for being the only person I know who can successfully interface with a computer to the point of being able to use the internet as a conversation tool (I don't mean IM. I mean using Wikipedia while talking to back up conversation points.)
Oh, and I'm working on a new 18th C Jacket. (have to get it done before F&I at Ft. Ticondaroga, or at least hubbardton)
really need to sleep now, Eliza

9:58 am - Inter-county chess
|
|
So last night at around ten I go into my parents room where my mother is lying in bed ready to go to sleep and I start telling her about this brilliant idea I had. I thought that somewhere out in the mid west where all the counties are in rectangles or squares someone could play this giant game of chess where each county was a chess square and say, the governers of the two states whos counties were being played as a chess board could play off against each other and the two counties on which the check mate happened could be given a prize.
...
Then my mother totally burst my bubble by saying "... Why are you talking about this?" in this "you are totally insane" voice.
And I thouhgt I was being clever... oh well.
current mood: amused
