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.

Club Penguin

I have been on club penguin for a long time. What is club penguin? It's a fun place where u can walk around a little island type thing as a penguin. You can chat with other penguins and play games. Fun for all! It doesn't cost anything to join. You can throw snowballs at other penguins if you wanna be a cereal killer. (just kiding) You can rob the pizza parlor too. I did it once. It was fun. Annea was an eye witness to my crime. I think throwing snowballs at people is the most funest thing to do! Sound like fun? THEN JOIN! I NEED FAMILY ON THERE BESIDES TAPEEAR AND MY COUSINS!! PLEASE!!!!! My name on club penguin is Operson. TapeEar's name still is the same. (She has different accounts too.)

Here is the link to Club Penguin: www.clubpenguin.com (Duh)

My School Books and Locker

I have 4 classes everyday at high school. We have the first 4 classes one day, then the last 4 classes the next day, and so on. I heard from a girl at the high school say that she doesn't even know where her locker is in the school because she carries her backpack from class to class. (She told a group of kids and me that when we went on the tour of the school.) This made me happy because then I wouldn't have to run to my locker as often, or at all! (I wouldn't be tardy as much ether.) The books is what got to me though, because I didn't want to carry all 8 around when I didn't need them. Mom told me that Jonathan (my cousin who goes to high school.) left the 4 books he didn't need at home, and not in his locker. Then, he put the books he needed for the next day in his backpack when he got home, so that's what I was gonna do. Well we all went to go get school supplies today, And when we showed dad all of it, we started a conversation about my soon to be school books. (I forget what I said to start it anyway.) Dad say that...no, scratch that, he DEMANDED that I leave the 4 books I don't need in my locker. I said "Why?" Then he said "Well what if they say we're going to have to cancel this class today because of such and such, so they're going to have this class today." I COULD NOT SPEAK!! I didn't know what to say! It was so ridiculous! Different people have different classes! "They wouldn't do that!" I finally said. Then, just like a little kid, he said "How do you know?" I complained that my locker was too small, (They're not even 10 inches wide! Measure how long 10 inches are! Not that long!) but he said that they will fit. I don't wanna go to my locker at all! He also said to bring books home if I had homework, and "What if you need a book that you don't have with you?" I don't wanna put 4 books in there! Let alone 8! (if I don't have homework) As soon as he left, I said "I'm gonna do it anyway." So who's idea is better? Mine or his?

TIFFANY

BOO! Tiffany left Kokomo! But I'm all right, and she's all right too. Her aunt and uncle is who she spends the most time with. Her aunt seems nice 'cause I've talked to her before over the phone. Since Tiffany left, she has called over here 4 times. I only talked to her 3 time though. The last 2 were more recent, Saturday night and Sunday morning. She says hi to everyone. (that she knew.)

SUMMER SCHOOL

Brats. Most of them anyways. I know Amanda told you about them, so, I won't do that. Andra (Andre) got sent to the principals' office Friday. (the 21st) YESSSSSSSSS!! I was very happy! I know it's wrong, but we didn't have to put up with him for the rest of the day!!!! It seems that he was fighting with another student on the bus. WOO HOO he got wrote up!!!! YEA!! ^_^ I hope he got in trouble at home.....We're going to Highland park tomorrow. While the kids, me, and Amanda are playing, Mr. Guy will be grilling hotdogs on the grill. Mr. Guy helps with the fathers program at Head Start. He helps us when we go on field trips too.
That's all........
