California is funny. It's November and it's 80 degrees.
I just find that funny.
I grew up in a place where it rains nine months of the year.
Yet, I've become a California girl. I'm a beach loving, sale rack scavenging, tan, fun in the sun, California girl.
So even if in November if it does get cold (like last week it was like 50 degrees outside.) It is suddenly time to pull out the scarves and long sleeved shirts and jackets and winter coats.
I used be able to walk around in a t-shirt in this weather. Maybe a have a sweater. When we moved here I could do that.
When did 65 degrees suddenly mean a down jacket?
When did I become such a baby?

I've returned!
I know I kinda fell off the face of the earth, but life has been really crazy for me lately. I'm all over the place. School started like, 2 months ago. From my AP classes to fall play rehearsal to everything in between, I just haven't had time to enter the blogesphere.
Veteran's day was a welcomed break! My AP History class is going to kill me. There is so much work. DBQ worksheets, simulations, studying, presentations, it goes on and on. There are quizzes both planned and pop. Of course, don't forget the section tests. 80 questions to be answered in no more than 50 minutes. Yet, I kinda love it. I like the lectures. PowerPoint is my new love. I actually made one for a presentation on friday. It was amazing and it took me an hour and a half. I go into her classroom before the bell for first and since I made the PowerPoint on a mac, it's not compatable with her computer, a Dell. I was so sad! It was a beautiful PowerPoint and it wasn't compatable!
The other class that is preying a slow death (is that an okay phrase?) is Advanced Auto. I love that class, but the only other girl in the class is my lab partner. 2 girls and 20 guys. 20 guys! If that's not intimidating, I don't know what is. It's a totally fun class. I love it, but, do they have to act so, "arrrrgh" , like the way stupid boys act? At least 2/3 of the class is completely ignorant. They couldn't seem to grasp the vegetarian thing. How since I've never eaten meat, like ever, technically I'm allergic. Eating would make me sick. My stomach can't digest it. They just don't get it! They're just like "would you eat a steak if I gave $50,000?" Idiots! Also, I have no idea what I'm doing in that class. At least since my lab partner and I are the only girls, Mr. J gives us the answers. Well, if we get it right he tells us. It really miffs some of the other guys. We did a lab that these other group took 7 shop days to do in 3. Hahahahahahaha! Survival of the fittest baby!
I love school. That's partly why I'm torn about how I feel about three day weekends, let alone two day weekends. I miss school. I just really like it. It's fun to me. I'm the weirdo fluke kid who likes school and in-class essays and lectures and notes and STAR WARS! (that's only weird for a girl.)
I'm in the fall play. I started out as an understudy for two parts. Then I became assistant scpript manager as well. Then I gained the coveted 2nd assistant director spot. I've also been placed as prop manager. And now on top of all of that, I'm a swing. Since the we've started rehearsal, I've understudied for every part but those I'm actually understudy for. So, the director made me a swing. It's really cool. That's the payoff I get though. I've missed one rehearsal (and that was for a movie premeire in the Kodak screening room in Hollywood. Totally worth missing rehearsal.), I'm never late and I've even been to all the tap rehearsals. I'm there more than some of the actual cast members. I'm there so often the forgets I'm only an understudy. I just hope it really helps me out when I try out for the musical. I know I won't get a lead in the musical. I certainly can't sing that well. But a chorus spot would make me happy. I can sing well enough for that at least. Plus, the director knows I'm committed. He knows I'll always be there. I can't wait. This year is probably going to be the best year of school yet. Look out world, here I come!
