It honestly sucks to live in the valley now. And why? Rain. Rain. Rain. And more rain.
It's been raining all week. It was a little on and off at first. That is until today. It just kept coming nonstop and after school while me and my sister waited for our mom to pick us up huddled under an umbrella, here comes the huge downpour. And when I say downpour, I mean downpour. The umbrella did little help. So my jeans and Purdue sweater got soaked. I got water in my Converse. And thank God my mother came just in time to get us out of there.
Here's a crazy part. There were like two kids who were still walking home even though the sidewalks were flooding. Oh, and the city put up signs that said that the streets were flooded. Never would've recognized a flooding street without that sign now would we?
So as we were a couple streets away from home, we make a turn and here's Coriander Street that has now become Coriander River. As my mom took a picture to send to my step dad, I made a comment that we should borrow our neighbor's boat. And then we came home.
So now my clothes are getting washed and I'm in clean comfy pajamas blogging away. I really think it should be Friday. Feels like one. Maybe cause the rain makes it feel like you wanna stay home for the next couple days. Hahaha.
XOXO,

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas (Oh God...)
I can't believe it's already December. It doesn't really feel like it to me because around this time of year I'm used to it being freezing cold outside. Oh well.
My parents have been pretty occupied in the past week decorating the house. Inside AND out. Not only is the Christmas tree up, but they put up lights and wreaths outside the house. Didn't even know we had that many decorations sitting in our downstairs closet. I like Christmas. So fun, lots of good movies out, and good food! Especially when TBS plays A Christmas Story for 48 hours! All time favorite Christmas movie along with Nightmare Before Christmas.
School's been good this past week. According to the home access center, my grades are all A's. We'll see about that when report cards come out. This upcoming Friday is our winter formal which I'm super psyched about. In case you didn't check out my last post, it has the dress I'll be wearing. I don't have a date, but I don't really care all that much. I'm just going with Jamie and Akane. And the next week is finals week! That's gonna be a total nightmare. We have minimum days which if you live in Indiana and you're reading this it's kinda like half days. We go take a final for two hours, have a 20 minute brunch, have another final, and by noon, we go home. That's gonna be nice. We also don't have school that Friday and then it's Christmas vacation until the 3rd of January and we start up school again for the 3rd quarter. I can't believe it's almost 2011.
And on a smaller note it's pouring rain. It's only good because my nose has been bleeding for the past few days and some humidity is a good thing. Hahaha.

RAIN!
Finally David Bowie answers my prayers for rain! Being from Indiana, I'm used to it raining about every other day. Being in California, now I'm limited to rain at a certain time of year. Well today was the day it has decided to actually rain and not sprinkle. So I'm very happy for that.
Last week in school, it was the school's homecoming week which was pretty cool. The only interesting days were twin day, camouflage day, and mismatch day. The other days were represent your class and school colors so..yeah. Mismatch day was a lot of fun cause it gives you a reason to dress ridiculous and no one questions it. I got to wear knee high rainbow socks with blue converse which made me really happy.
Had a field trip to a wetland place of sorts (don't remember name hahaha..). It was really cool other than seeing a decapitated rat in the middle of a trail. Dissected an owl pellet (sorta) and got to see some freaky stuff through a microscope. Loved that so much more than I probably would have back at school. It was the day of the homecoming parade which I heard wasn't any good and everyone was forced to watch it. Guess it's a good thing I went on that field trip. Didn't go to the homecoming game cause I have no attention span for high school football. That and if you boo you get in trouble and if the entire crowd boos the entire team forfeits..which is a really pointless rule. Also I went to a birthday party.
Birthday party was for our friend Jenn's sister, Giselle. Me and my mom brought salsa, mango salsa, and guacamole...all magically disappeared probably within the first hour we came in with it. The cake was chocolate with raspberry sauce and it was awesome. Got to meet this two adorable kids named Kuliano and Nyala...and yes those are their names..Kuliano's a boy and Nyala's a girl...Now I regret not kidnapping them cause they were so cute!!
Aah..nothing like spending your Sunday inside watching the rain fall and watching football...that is unless you're like my friend Raven who's ticked cause she can't watch the Simpsons. Saw the Eagles game and the 49ers game and am about to watch the Colts game. WOOT!
