2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY IN 9 MINUTES!!!!!!!!

Bonjour, ma petite!! It's me and Carl's 2 year anniversary in 8 minutes now!! Woohoo!! I have been working on his gifties. I bought a plain black frame from Target and printed out Bill's logos and glued them onto it. Carl has a picture of me in his Bill's jersey cuz of when we went to the Bill's game last December and I nearly froze to death/blew away. But yeah, I have to somehow sneak that guy into the frame tomorrow lol. I'll have to use my super awesome stealth skills. Lol, remember when we were younger and everytime we heard a loud airplane, you'd go, "It's a stealth!" Hahahahahaa.

So work has been absolutely ridic lately. I mean, I've worked Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday night this week and every night has been crazy busy! On weekday nights! At the end of September! It's supposed to be dead until right up around Thanksgiving, I just don't get it. Then again, maybe these are all the people who shopped for boots last minute last year and now don't wanna miss out on their shoe sizes this year, huh? Doubt it.... Maybe people are just being more economical by buying stuff now so they have more time to save for Christmas stuff. That's probly it, I'm guessing.

So I couldn't go into school on Tuesday (4 minutes!!). I had typhoid fever. Just kidding, the street flooded really really badly, like way worse than I've ever seen it. It was up to our driveway, and it usually never passes the Milton's mailbox!! So it was Anna's turn to drive but she had the radio on (I was just gonna cut throught lawns and walk around the flood) and the radio people said that the Skyway was closed and that because of that, the 219 was backed up wayyy before we would get on!! Plus they even said that most of the exits into the city were flooded cuz of how they are designed. Then we took into account that on Monday when it had been raining all day, parts of the parking lots were already flooded and we had both hydroplaned (1 MINUTE!!) through campus....

2 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

....so we both decided it was better to stay at home. So I missed my first class (M. White's) and then was like, huh, I'll go in for my later class (Phonetics with McKee -- LOVE that name!!), but the water was a little high still, and after what happened last time, I will never venture through a big puddle again, even if it's barely 2 inches lol. But can you blame me?!

So Henrick's getting his defogger fixed right now. But he should hopefully be ready before Friday because (if you don't mind of course) he has to drive Carl and me to Toronto because Carl's car is all fucked up. Ohhh nooo. Not again!!

But yeah, it must be done.

I had to drive the Trooper today for the first time in like a week because of this little incident and I was terrified the whole entire day because last time I drove it (well, I never actually got around to driving it that day), I opened the door up and this huge (I'm actually NOT exagerating right now) lime and dark green and white and clear spider fell from the top of the door from this chunk of white web (EWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and crawled right into a little crevice by the seat. I had mum search high and low for it yesterday, but it was no where to be found. But I know it's waiting for me....I just know it.

So I got to watch Ghost Hunters tonight (not that I'm rubbing it in or anything) and we decided as a family that it's better that you can't watch it because you'd be all alone in your apartment and we'd be on the phone with you for half the night cuz you'd have no one to protect you lol. Don't deny it, we all know it's the truth.

I will scan your AG listy thingy tomorrow, I promise.

Luvvies sooooooo much,

me!!

Sabres Puck Drop 2009 + Some

Alrighty, so now that a week + some has passed since the annual puck drop I have decided that now would probably be the best time to type my heart away. The puck drop was exciting, as one could guess. First things first: I believe the first thing we did was buy tickets for a game in march =]. I'm not sure if anyone has told you the news, but yes we are goin to another game wooo!!! ( i just lost the game ) Afteward, we decided (we bein' me, amy, laura, and val) to get in the long line to get autographs, which was located out front. As we step in line, the evil security men inform us that the people ahead of where they were standing were the only ones getting autographs and that we would not. We didn't really care, we waited for a while for the select Sabres to impress their presence among the crowd. Thing is, after about 15 minutes me and amers went to sit with mother a little away from the line (which kept growing despite the security men's cries) and another....45 minutes - hour? that laura and val were waiting (they just wanted pictures if they could get anything else). After a while, Laura and Val call us over and tell the dreadful news that no sabres may be coming out to sign after all (they were eavesdropping on the security guard's radio). After 15 more minutes of waiting, we decided to go inside and eat for most of us hadn't any food all day and were starving by that point. We ate as we pleased.
During which Amy, mother, and I ate, Laura and Val reserved seats for us down by the glass to watch the rookie game. As the rookies rode past laura would make rather amusing faces into the glass, which got a few of them to stare at us and make weird faces. At the end Val and Laura were shouting into a hole, begging for pucks. Because number 12 was starting to get agitated with us (plus after he gave two other kids pucks on the other side of the arena, he had no choice) he handed a puck through the hole, which Val grabbed first =p. OHH!! Laura was begging Gerber for a puck for a while, and they actually conversed. "Can i have a puckkk?" "i dont think we have extras" "YES YOU DO THERES A BOX FULL OF THEM RIGHT OVER THERE!" and he laughed and skated away =]
okay maybe not a convo convo, but hey it's better than nothing.
sooo, that was entertaining.

as for the past two weeks, theyve been boring and hard. yuck, im exhausted. I kind of want some popcorn too. hmm...
I have confirmation later, i'm not pleased.
And that sophomore kid continues to stare at me. Plus I have another sophomore kid now too, who sits next to me in latin, and jessie claims he stares at me creepishly throughout the class...he does try to talk to me. Now the latter kid is truly strange, not to mention rude. He's sooo rude to my latin teacher!!!
*ahem*
homecoming this weekend and i am getting uber excited =D afterward, I'm sleeping at jessie's new house yay!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to here from ya kk,

<3 Shannieee

Sabres Puck Drop + Some

So Saturday was pretty fun =] we got up somewhat early and headed on to the hsbc arena, 'we' being me, laura, amers, and val!

Shannon's Adventures!

So, Shannon's adventures have been wild so far.
Actually, I'd have to say they've gone down in wild-ness since the start of school.
Last weekend I spent the whole weekend doing homework!! Long weekend mind you!!
I had to read 62 pages for english, annotate a Pericles speech plus do an essay on how Pericles speaks, read for latin and make flash cards, do a fright fiction journal, do some general chem homework, read 20 pages for ap us and a chart for it, memorize vocab words for ap english and ahhh!! by the end i was about to scream!!
I was seriously considering dropping ap english, but today our essays were returned and I got a 18/20. Our counselors adviced us at a thingy this morning to do the class that will be most challenging, based on our needs. PSAT sign ups are tomorrow, I'm going first thing in the morning as to ensure I get a spot.
Fright Fiction has to be the best class I have ever taken in my life!! Yesterday all we did was listen to music from horror films and tell from which film they're in. It totally made my day. The kids in the class are all seniors and though the guys are obnoxious at times, they're actually nice and easy to converse with. Mr. Brach is hilarious. Fright Fiction has to be the most laid back class I've ever had the pleasure of being in.
AP US is okay, though there is so much info to take in it's hard to keep up...I'm hoping that this weekend will be my catch up time. General Chem is somewhat challenging though it makes more sense to me then bio did.
Geometry has been annoying because we're doing review, of algebra of course. Awfulness. I can't do algebra to save my life. Though I do have a rather amusing story from it:
Over the course of the first few days of my lovely (joke) seni...(wait...i'm only dreaming of my attitude this time next year)*ahem* Junior year, I sat next to a few sophomore boys and conversed with them a few times about math, exhibiting my spazztic nature as I usually do around younger folk. One of these kids kept staring at me every day in class, and finally yesterday when we were to keep our chosen seats for the remainder of the year, he argued with his little buddy about switching his seat with him...he preferred to sit in the seat behind moi. His friend wouldn't let him. At this point, I had my suspicians. Today, at the end of class the three small wittle boys were speaking quietly, then one spoke just a tad bit louder, quote "she's so hot and I could have sat right next to her, you ruined it!" please note, I am the only girl in his specified vicinity. So uh...I giggled. He's like a foot shorter than me, curly blonde hair, and blue eyes. I can tell this is going to be an amusing year...
Anywho, puck drop saturday wooo!! I'm hoping, rather furiously hoping, I'll get all of my work done this weekend! <3
Updates shall come at a later time, hee =D
-Shannieee!!

The Last Few Days

Hmmm....I have been quite busy, not gonna lie, Kelly. I had that dumb meeting Saturday morning, then got to go home for a few hours, then had to go back to work from 3-9, then worked 10:30-6 on Sunday, then had class on Monday from 1-4:15 and work at 5:15, then class Tuesday (I go in early with our dearest Anna) 8:30-2:55 (my class isn't until 10:50). Then I had work from 5-9, then Wednesday was the same as Monday, and now here I sit on Thursday. I don't have work, but lessons are in a little bit and I am not looking forward to them for the first time in a while cuz I'm pretty beat right now.

Right now, I am typing this to you, drinking some coffee, complaining in my head about my tummy ache/indigestion/I can't really figure out what it is exactly. Oh yea, Carl is also texting me his fantasy football passwords so that I (that's right, HEATHER) can UPDATE his FOOTBALL TEAM. He thinks I am capable of far too much. But I will do as I am told. He started his long shifts today, and was soooo dead most of the day so far, but he had a sonoma turkey burger for lunch (I thought you'd want to know) and has since felt better.

I talked to Jacob today. Well, actually, I totally texted him yesterday asking him how he's doing and he said ok but he misses you and then he asked me if I would go to the Apple Store with him sometime so he can use me for a discount. Muahaha. Don't worry, I said yes. So he texted me today and we have decided to go Saturday afternoon. I get out of work at 2 so I guess we'll go sometime after that.

So my classes have been ok. I really like Hovland's, especially since she figured out how to put all the notes on Angel. I don't have to frantically write everything down just to find out later that it is ilegible!! Woohoo!! I really like Phonetics. Everyone else is having problems in it, but I got a 22 out of 20 on the first quiz which I thought was mad easy so yay!! I just attended my first 496 class today. The interview went well on Tuesday, he just said I have to speak faster (which is a problem for me in english, so we'll have to see how that goes!). It was typical M. White class. Anthropology should be harder, but my teacher is like 80 and so out of touch with the world. It takes her at least 20 minutes to set up everyday. It's pretty funny, not gonna lie. Theatre is mad easy. I highly recommend easy online classes. And English is also easy. We read a few chapters for each class and then spend the whole class discussing them and how they have to do with women in society. The teacher is great though, she's young and her name in Lorna (which I LOVE!!) and she has mad cute shoes!!

Guess what Miss Anna suckered me into doing?! I get to sit through (yet another) study abroad meeting! Like wtf?! Kill me now!!

I'm gonna end it here, my dear, cuz I want to have give myself time before lessons, but I shall write tomorrow!! And possibly later tonight!! And I want pictures!!

Oh, and by the way, I totally declared my minor!! It took all of 2 seconds!!

Luvvies sooooo much,
me!!

Shannon here.

So, for beginners I THOUGHT the first day of school went well:
Friends in classes, teachers I like, one of the two juniors in my fright fiction class.
I thought wrong.
After doing the easy AP us homework, I pulled out my AP english.
I died a little inside.
Now, after attempting to do annotates (however you say them), I am completely exhausted at ten o'clock and wish to go to bed. Needless to say, I killed my homework more than I ever thought possible.
However, KK, I hope France is continuing to treat you well.
Tomorrow I will post, with a somewhat more optimisitic update of my life.
Nighty-night.
-The Shannans.
I dont really know what the point of this post is...
I do like Latin though. =D Jessie sits behind me, always a plus.

Today today today....

Hiya Kelly! Today was ok. I had the weirdest dream last night and the only thing I can remember is Megan was in a poofy prom dress at the mall (although it looked like no mall I've ever seen) and Megan Paddy (you remember her!!) was following her around and it was really sketchy. And then Melly popped out of nowhere in a hideous colorful poofy prom dress and gave me money to buy you a present at Hot Topic, where is where I was apparently working.... It was an ugly sweater thing and I said "Ok....I know she'll love it...." Haha.

I didn't have M. White's class, woohoo. But Phonetics has been quite fun, I will not lie. I love Mme. McKee, she's such a sweet old lady. And she goes so nice and slow and makes sure everyone understands the content before moving on. I saw Merini today and she sends her regards!

I promise to text Jacob later this week to come over for dinner or something :)

Oh my god -- I have seen Ben Stack at fucking Sears wayyyyyy too much lately!! Can God NOT spare me one single shift of happiness?! Obviously no..

I hear you are having a wonderful time in La Rochelle. I want to talk to you! I'm going to try calling around 3 my time, 9 yours, so you better not be sleeping! I loved your blog, the Shannans and I read it with great relish. LOL.

I'm very happy your room is so awesome. And kudos for opting for that package, cuz you would've been absolutely miserable in a room like Alex's! You better post photos asap, not only of you, but of Alex as well. Also, does she maybe have a Facebook or a Myspace so that I can add her as a friend?!

I have to finish up some 306 hw....blah! A quick reading avec six questions. It's about the Roman influence on Provence and blah blah blah. But it talks about 2 ruins I learned about in Art History, La Maison carree and Le Pont du Gard!! Yay!! It makes me feel smart, don't laugh.

I'll let you go now, my dear!

Luvvies sooo much!,
me!! (by the way, I have to give the Shannans the password so she can write to you as well. I'll do that soon....when I'm done hogging you!!)

AVON ORDER SUBMITTED!!

Yay!! I did it!! I'm glad to hear that you made it ok, ma petite. I saw Hildegarde aujourd'hui and she sends her regards!!

Also, Henrick's triangular light with the exclamation point inside decided to start coming on every time I break along with the pic of the lil oil dripper. Like wtf?

Mochas doing just fine, dont worry about her. If we say your name she tilts her cute lil head to the side, but shes as happy as ever. And of course your bed is all hers, as usual.

So I dont even even have Monsieur White's class til next Thursday! He's doing 15 minute interviews with all 7 of us to see where we are in the langue. So I get to go in on Tuesday at like 11:45. It's pretty sweet, not gonna lie.

I hope you are having a wonderful time, my dear Giles!

Luvvies soooooooo.... much,
me!!

Aujourd'hui, ma petite..

Kelly, aujourd'hui, j'ai rencontre Dr. McKee. Elle est vielle, mais tres, tres sympa! Je l'aime maintenant. La classe est grande, compare aux autres classes de la France -- 10 gens!! Oh mon dieu!! C'est interessant, c'est classe. Nous devons savoir l'alphabet phonetique par coeur pour jeudi!! Tuez moi, s'il te plait! Muahaha, il sera ok, c'est pas?

Alors, malheureusement, j'ai porte les jeans et un t-shirt a l'ecole parce qu'il faisait froid hier! Mais aujourd'hui, il fait chaud: 75 degrees!! wtf.. Alors, j'etais trop chaud et maintenant dans le selon, je porte les shorts de Carl et le meme t-shirt.

Hahahaha. Please don't kill me for writing in French!! I have to write a paragraph on what a good friend is for Monsieur White, and I haven't written any french all summer. Thus, you are my guinea pig, my dear (although, nothing new there, huh?!).

Monsieur White, although I missed his class, happened to stop by Dr. McKee's class before it started (I think he just happened to be walking by and noticed us sitting there). Anyway, he came in and said hello and said 'Kelly left for France today?!' And then he inquired as to whether or not you were excited and ready and what not.

Yay!!

I hope you're having a wonderful time in La Rochelle, my little Sketch.

Love you soo much, and do expect at least one post a day from either myself or from the Shannans (or anyone else who happens to be around whilest I am typing to you!!)

Luvvies,
me

A Bientot, Ma Jumelle!!

Oh mon dieu, KK, I totally forgot to tell you about the dream I had last night! You saved me from an axe murderer -- no lie!! First, Carl and I were being chased by him in a little row boat, almost like a canoe and the evil doer almost got us. So then we ran into a lake house where all our friends and family were and had to hide, but all the good hiding spots were taken, so I had to hide behind a couch. That is the first place he looked!! He tried killing me with the axe, but I kept backing up and then you came to my rescue with a shiny metal pipe thinger and fought him off like sword fighting. It was pretty sweet, not gonna lie.

We are eating bagels and drinking coffee. Yummo!!

Mocha wants my bagel. Asiago flavored. Not gonna happen, poochka.

Love,
me!!
