  • WOW! It's been almost 3 months since i've last updated.

    Thanksgiving was really nice with the family, and so was Christmas.   New Year's I was in Arizona, and it was pretty cold there (well, for Arizona) 

    So, David, Daniel, and I are giving up Ice Cream for a year...yes, a year.  It will be a challenge, but so far, no temptations. :D

    School starts tomorrow.  I'm glad I did all my extra credit before break started and the beginning.  [sigh]  I don't know if i'm ready to go back.  Finals are in 2 weeks.  This year, they're going to be harder, because I have more classes which require more finals.  English, History, Spanish, (speaking! yay! at least it's not a written test :D)  Choir, (yes.  I have a final.  Not just singing, but a written final.  But, it'll be easy.  It's just about time signature, "what note is this" sort of thing.  Stuff i've learned through piano. SO, that'll be an easy "A") Bio, P.E. (I don't think we have a final, but if we do, it'll be physical. probably just running.)  And, math. 

    My cousins coming up here from arizona for a week, then Wintervision!  =]

    Well, hopefully i'll be able to write here more often, due to time.

  • WOW!  It sure has been a while since I've last updated.  For me, school is going well. It's getting busier though.  Today, was a minimum day, but I didn't get to leave as early as everyone else because I have a 7th period, but still, it was only an hour later than everyone else.  On Monday, I get to go home SUPER early! I'm so excited!  It was funny because in P.E, we were running, and I was talking to my friend and we realized that so far, this school year has gone by so quickly.  It seems like we just started school, and everyone was nervous hoping that we didn't have hard or strict teachers.  We were talking, and said to me, you know, do you realize that next year we'll be jr.'s?  I just can't believe that after this year, I'll be half way though high school!  Choir is really fun.  We're already getting ready for our Holiday Concert and Disneyland!  It's 2 months earlier than it would be if I was still back in middle school!  But we're gone an extra day, but since it's block schedule, it's technically only 1 missed school day!

    Anyway, I got this email, and i clicked on the link and watched the video.  Its really amazing.  The pictures and music are so pretty.  So, basically its an interview with God.  So here's the link: http://www.theinterviewwithgod.com/popup-frame.html  So anyway, let me know what you think!

  • are you a grandma???

    so i was at gymnastics talking to my old coach. then this girl comes up to me.

    girl: how old are you?

    me: 14.

    girl: are you a grandma???

    me: no.

    girl: oh.  how tall are you?

    me: about 5' 2"... why?

    girl: are you a mom???

    me: no. i'm not even out of high school, let alone over the age of 21...

    just then my friend shannon walks up.

    shannon: hey karissa.

    me: hey

    girl: how old are you? (to shannon)

    shannon: 14

    girl: are you a grandma???

    shannon: no

    me: uhh...shannon. shaunas calling us...

    then we both say bye. it was so funny. but amazingly i answered all those questions with a serious face. okay. the end.

    (this is a TRUE story. not lying.)

     

     

    another story...or 2.

    The Cat

    Day 983 of my captivity:

    My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They
    dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or
    some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations
    perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my
    strength.
    The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt
    to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a
    mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would
    strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities.
    However, they merely made condescending comments about what a 'good little
    hunter' I am.
    There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed
    in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear
    the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to
    the power of 'allergies.' I must learn what this means, and how to use it to
    my advantage.
    Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my
    tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this
    again tomorrow,but at the top of the stairs.
    I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The
    dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be
    more than willing to return . He is obviously retarded.
    The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the
    guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have
    arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe... for now...

ladybugs

ladybugs are very significant with chinese adoptions. usually, before parents go to adopt a girl from china, they see a ladybug. i don't know why, but ladybugs are just like a symbol with chinese adoptions. the chinese say it's good luck. i don't know!
