(My Partner!)

P.S.

I did this in school! Shhhhh!

(How else did ya think I got these on here??)

My First School Days

Hm? If I could describe it in one word, it would be: Boring. Yeah, it's boring, but the days go by fast. I thought today was Tuesday. I like my red days, but I hate my blue days. I would like both days much more if I ditched my math class. That one is so BORING!! I almost fell asleep yesterday in that class from listening to my teacher talk so much. (He has a deep, boring voice, so I could go night-night in that class if I could, and I don't usually fall asleep in class at all.) Anyways, here's my schedule:

RED DAY:
1st Period: Digital Photography (It's kinda boring in that class too, because we haven't done anything with the cameras yet.)
2nd Period: English (That classroom is THE coldest classroom ever! Plus, the teacher has a fan blowin' on him!)
3rd Period: Spanish (I have my old middle school Spanish teacher for this class, so I know her rules well and what to do. One of the easiest classes)
4th Period: Nutrition & wellness (In that class, we learn about food. We will get to cook it too.)

BLUE DAY:
5th Period: Digital Photography (Yes, I have this class twice. It's like my first period EVERY day.)
6th Period: SRP (Stands for Student Resource Period. We use this class to do homework and other pieces of crap stuff that I hate. We also use this period to go do make-up work in another class if you have an SRP pass.)
7th Period: Integrated Math IIA (I did Integrated Math IB in Summer School.)
8th Period: Chemistry (It's okay. I only say this because I like the teacher. He's cool.)

There it is. Now, don't ask me, "How's school?"

The Book of Jon (and friends)

Hello relatives! I have been writing a story for a while now. I had totally forgotten about it until cleaning my room one day for our new bed arrival! I found the little notebook among tons of other crap. I opened it up and there was my Jon story. It's about this guy who has many health problems. Throughout the story, I keep on mistaking Jon's twin for him. Anyways, I was thrilled that I had found it, because I had written it over a year ago. I then got the inspiration to write about Jon's twin, which is longer then the first story in my little notebook. The stories have slapstick comedy in them. And It's rated PG because of rude humor. (Sorry Ari and Ian, mommy can't read it to you.)
I took the book over to my grandma and grandpa's house on the following Sunday, because I knew Annea and Rich were going to be there. All I can tell you, is that they were cracking up at it. I then wrote and ended the third story that same day. I can't tell you the title of it, because that would give some of it away. I've been thinking of a way to put my stories on here without tearing the pages out. And on my computer, I can't draw or anything that would look like the original. So, I will keep my little notebook in the car and if you wanna see it, just tell me and I'll bring it inside wherever. Trust me, you WILL laugh. I am currently working on another story in my little notebook. It's entitled Dolly.

Imma Tour Guide! =D + A girl named Rachael

Today, I had to help TapeEar and my friend, Rachael, find things in the high school. (Classrooms and lockers) TapeEar did find things on her own, like her locker. (Which she might not use.) I did have to help Rachael find her locker. Her mom thought that the lockers were only downstairs, but some are upstairs too. Rachael said that she looked all downstairs to find her locker. No luck. Her mom can't climb stairs, so I took Rachael upstairs to find her locker, leaving her mom, and mine and TapeEar's parents behind. Rachael told her mom to wait for her right by the auditorium. We finally found her locker in the Spanish hallway. Right before we did find her locker, a voice on the intercom said that people with the last name that starts with an "A" and these Kat people, were to meet their parents in this room number I can't remember now. Rachael's last name is Arredondo, so we were worried that we wouldn't find her mom. All three of us went downstairs. I found my Tousan (That means "father" in Japanese.) easily. But when we went by the auditorium, we didn't see Rachael's mom anywhere. Rachael went in search for her mom and then found us again, with no mom. The last time we saw her, she made her way to the bathroom. I guess she found her mom, 'cause we didn't see her again.

About Rachael:
She is my "Besty" as TapeEar says. We see her every Saturday at church. I met her, I guess, at Saturday church, through TapeEar. She did spend the night with us sometime in July. She's sorta like Tiffany, but not THAT much like Tiffany. (Oh yeah, Tiffany's in Arkansas right now, with her aunt. She won't be back for a year. o_O) Rachael's an awsome buddy of mine! She's half hispanic, like me and TapeEar, so we speak Spanish to each other, which is fun! We've been friends for a long time and I hope it stays that way! ^^

2 Posts in one day? Well, we just got some pictures uploaded on our computer and this was on of 'em, and I couldn't resist it! Sophie's so happy, ain't she?!

(TapeEar took it.)

Long Time, No Post!

Hi! How long has it been? I can't remember...
Anyways, I bet some of you didn't know that I had to go to summer school this month! (And mabe some of you did...) It was easy and I'm out already. I got out yesterday. o_O I think I might have an A. My now ex-teacher didn't add *our grades up with our Final test. I had an A before "Mid-term" and after it. Wondering what class it was? Intgrated Math 1B. I failed Algebra 1A first semester of last year...Woopsie, so I had to take it to catch up. I'm gonna have chemistry next year! Mwahahahaha!!! I'm gonna mix chemicals!!! >=D And I think Digital Photography 'cause that's what my counselor said.

*I mean my classmates and I.


Summer School with the little kiddies

I'll be going to summer school again tomorrow morning, but To help out! Yup, it's time to work with some brats again! Manda and mom said there's this kid in the class who said that he was in love with me....
-_-
Oooooookay...He's 5. He doesn't know better. His name is Curtis (Heh heh! Curtis....) and he doesn't listen to Amanda at all. I'll be going for my FIRST time over there while mom and Manda have been there twice already. I know Curtis from helping out with mom during the school year...so yeah...Mom told him that I would be coming on Friday and then he says, "I'm in love with her!" I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow when I see him. I'm scared....You must HELP me!!

Snow Pictures

Ok, Here they are:

These will get bigger.







Snow drift.

After the plow came. (Mamaw paid a guy to plow our driveway.)

Told ya they got bigger.

This is TapeEar in the snow. It's up to her knees!!

That's an icicle on the bottom. You can barely see it.

This is today, frost on the trees.

More frost on the trees.

There you go. Now stop harassing me! ^_^

What's With the Blog Name?

Hi! Ever wonder why my blog is titled "The Life Of An Olive Tree"? Well, it's because my name means olive tree. I always thought is was weird because I thought, "I was named after a freakin' plant?!" but I found out that the olive tree is popular in Greece along the years. (Of course most of you probably already new this.) I embrace the fact that my name means olive tree, because I've been called "Olive" by friends.

Papaw and Chancy

Does everyone know about Chancy, my grandpa's new dog? Good. Well, he spoils her to death. Every morning, he takes her to McDonald's to get her a sausage biscuit thingy! He worries about her when he leaves her by herself. And whenever he leaves the house when me and Amanda is there, he tells us to watch the dog for him. Oh yeah! He even left for Thanksgiving early to see how the dog is doing, plus, his truck is completely covered in Chancy hair on the inside! This is why his truck is covered with hair(I found this comic in yesterday's paper):

AHHHHHH!!! HOBOS!!!

I'm pretty sure that Amanda and I are going trick-or-treating this year. We were thinking about going as hobos. Yes, the hobo, commonly feared by those who are hobo-phobic. I think I'm hobo-phobic, because we once had a hobo living in our neighborhood, and I was pretty scared of him. He lived in the ally. (not the one behind our house.) He used to shoplift from stores like Village Pantry and the Dollar Store. But, sadly, he died.... Tiffany told me that she went walking with Miesha, (my-eesh-uh) (one of my other friends) and this other chick back from the Dollar Store. They threw rocks at his house, and one of them broke a window. When the window broke, they went running away laughing. (I admit, me, Amanda, Tiffany, and some other neighborhood kids threw rocks at his house too.) Tiffany thought that he had a heart attack because the broken window startled him. I sorta believe it because we haven't seen the hobo since then.
