haha wow amazing weekend in scituate with jessi and mike (and liam i guess hahaa). Lots of beach, burning, and bonfires. i can't quite bend my legs but it's okay, i'm kinda-sorta tan. must say - trampolines at midnight with a camera sporting a hugely bright flash = funniest thing ever. the pictures are up on facebook if you're interested hahaa. seeing addison tonight, we're seeing Nacho Libre in Woburn. Adam was supposed to come home yesterday but conveniently missed his plane, so he'll get home around seven. He was supposed to come here this afternoon, but becuase of the plane, he was going to come to Nacho Libre with us, but now it looks like it will be too late. And his dad just called saying they're having a big welcome-home dinner for him, but i can't make it to that. hopefully we'll be able to go find lunch tomorrow before i leave (have to be in Swampscott at two!).

I'm getting more excited to go on this trip. at first it was just like "ehh" but now i'm looking forward to seeing everything. something i'm not so pumped for is the fourteen hours sitting on planes/in airports. the plane leaves boston at around 5 tomorrow, then we go into london, where we'll sit for approx. five hours, then board another plane headed for jerusalem. we got the hour-by-hour itinerary a few days ago and basically i'm going to be quite sleep deprived. one of the days includes waking up at 4:30 to go hike Masuda (is that the name of it?) so we can see the sun rise over jerusalem.

foot is asleep, legs are burning up again. i want go to drive illegally some more :)

as of today, i am an only child for the rest of the summer. rachael left for camp, i had brooks orientation, mom got her new car, sox won on a david ortiz walkoff homer. mmmm yay for good days. now i'm on the couch with astro in the dark, watching DVDs of 24. just felt like i should update, its been a little while.

yankees squander seven run lead to nationals? i think so!

adam leaves for europe monday. he comes back two days before i leave for israel, but with jetlag i doubt i'll be able to see him. so here's to five weeks without seeing him. he came here today, i'm going to his house tomorrow, i think we're swimming in the ipswich river again..i love being in the exact spot where they found two bodies after the floods. yessss.

i am ridiculously sunburnt. but i must say, i had fun getting to this point. if watching david ortiz win the game on a walkoff in very good seats with adam, jessi ,and julian requires a sunburn, i'm all for it. after the game went to hannah's for her sixteenth. it was fun, but i was just quite tired. drivers ed starts tonight..yippee. from 5-8 weekdays this week and next. fantastic.

math exam today and chem tomorrow morning and i am DONE with sophomore year. tomorrow we'll all go to the movies to celebrate, that should be interesting. friday is loop with jessi, julian, and mike :)) and saturday i think adam is coming over for the afternoon, then jessi and julian will come and we'll go to the second game of the red sox/texas double header. and its very exciting becuase it could be jon lester's first major league start, which i would be floored to see. greatest pitching prospect's debut? count me in.


it is raining. i like rain. i am screwed for chemistry, not so much for math. even though vantuyl gives us the subject of all the questions, he's vague. what kind of a question is "body parts." this is chemistry, not anatomy. but i don't care. he says this exam is easier than the midterm which it had better be...that test wasn't so good on my part. but yes. must go shower and then study for math and chem. sadly i can't study much tonight becuase of an Israel meeting, and math will end at four and chemistry is at 8:30 tomorrow morning. faaaaaaaantastic.


alright. just felt the need to do a quick update.

oh and jessi. go to takingbacksunday.com and watch Webisode #11. basically theyre in belgium getting mad that there are no Belgian Waffles. and then at the end adam sings the best song ever.

"i ain't seen no waffles since i've been here and i think thats bullshit." "AMEN!"
i ain't seen no waffles, 'cause there ain't no waffles in belgium, uh uh uh." "THEY'RE AT IHOP!"

sophomore classes ended yesterday. got our yearbooks wednesday after academic awards - apperantly i'm a thespian. spanish speaking/listening this morning, then had chemistry review. then i proceeded to stalk mr. perry/mr. olson and work on my cheat sheet with risto. history and spanish exams monday, english on tuesday, math wednesday, and chemistry thursday. then i believe it will be summer. graduation is sunday night. this is going to be so sad. emily, zach, heidi, juliet. all gone. :(


since we're on a sad note. when we got home from adam's wedding, dudley was having trouble walking and keeping his balance. he was a bit better the next day, but we still had to put him to sleep that night. on the way home today my mom asked if we could make a pit stop. i said sure, and when we pulled into the vets office i kind of regretted it. so now there is a wooden box with my dog's ashes in it sitting in my mom's closet. astro keeps running to the window and crying, waiting for dudley to come home. my sister and my mom are always crying. my dad has been really quiet lately. i'm not sure how i'm handling it. i try not to cry around my family because i don't like letting other people see my emotions, but then when i'm alone and all i want to do is cry....i can't. i dont understand it. i miss my dog.

finally friday. review days next tuesday, wednesday, thursday, reading day friday. weekend. exams. this year went by so quickly, and i must say, its been one of the better ones that i can remember. and adam and kelly are getting married on sunday. they are amazing. quite happy and excited for them. i most definetly have not seen them since the day after my birthday (maybe it was the day before..it was one of the two, anyways). so sunday we'll go down to connecticut for the wedding that night, have brunch with them on monday, and come back up. sad, becuase its supposed to be around 90 degrees here on monday so amanda is having people over to her pool, but we'll leave connecticut around twelve and get here around two, so i don't think my parents will be up for dropping me off in georgetown and coming back not long after. but its okay. becuase i'll be with pretty much my favorite cousin and his awesome girlfriend (slash fiance slash WIFE).


eeep.

semi was saturday night. i have to admit, it was better than i thought it would be. went to amanda's house at five to get ready with her, erika, ingrid, and anne. of course, instead of showing up at six with the rest of the guys, adam made himself present at five thirty. the highlight of the night was definetly a bunch of us in a circle, jumping up and down and screaming at the top of our lungs the lyrics to Since U Been Gone. i kind of love us.

few pictures:

went to the sox game tonight with adam. was very misty and eventually started to rain, pretty much forcing us to both cower underneath my poncho. we left in the 6th due to the weather and once we were back in the car, they called off the game, so we technically lost 6-0. ehh. and we're supposted to go sunday as well but that very well might get rained out too.

semi tomorrow. yayy.

privately divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go

math test of doom tomorrow. red sox vs yankees. 3-3 right now on a steriod-fueled home run, courtesy of jason giambi, but hey, we did win 14-3 last night, so i'm not complaining (that much). nice catch, snagged line drive by youkilis (off damon :) ). red sox vs. rangers friday with adam (maybe?), semi saturday with most everyone (minus kelsey) and red sox vs. rangers sunday with adam and cbi. lots of red sox and other assorted bits of fun.

there's no stopping this

last night was taking back sunday with jessi. pretty much amazing. although the whole packed like sardines and falling down thing wasnt so fun, but i dont care, i got to see tbs and that's all that matters. took lots of pretty pictures and ogled adam and matt from the floor. was quite close to eddie, i wish we were closer to fred though, he came over for about five seconds. felt very dirty and sweaty and barefoot (due to falling, stomping on toes, etc). i can't even explain how awesome that show was. i wish we got to go to newbury comics and meet them. stupid red sox traffic.

finally friday. with the seniors leaving this week for senior projects, it made every day since wednesday seem like it should have been the end of the week. hanging out tonight with my flailing red sox, newton tomorrow to get my semi dress fitted (again...), out to dinner for my grandma's 80th saturday night, and Israel retreat 10-4 on sunday. no adam this weekend, ehh. sox/yankees monday night, definetly skipping our game to go to fenway. game tuesday. taking back sunday friday (seven days..gasp), semi a week fromsaturday, red sox with adam a week fromsunday. awesome next two weeks. quite excited.


lacrosse with wally and freshmen is fun. especially when you get to shoot on addie when she doesn't have a stick (we can't stand her) and then we play ultimate frisbee and TV tag. best practice in a long time.

craaazy day today. revisit day for future freshmen, danish students, parents...ahhh, so crowded. not to mention that the england kids are coming on monday. it was lonely without adam. i haven't seen him in four days. this is ridiculous. get better, dammit, i misses you.

so tonight is good. doing some homework, being productive. watching the sox whip baltimore, due in large part to daniel cabrera's six walks in the first inning. you have to love it when you can get four runs on one hit, and that hit happens to be a lead-off bunt. and now that i look again, we're up 5-0 with men on second and third, one out. i love this game. this weekend should be exciting. tomorrow hopefully newton/somewhere to look for a semi dress, one that i can also wear to adam's wedding (not my adam, my cousin adam). he and kelly are awesome together, honestly. and now he's going to san francisco for his residency so i won't see him forever. mehh. but anyways. saturday night will be Road Rules sleepover, assuming we can get rides/chaperone. sunday i'll have toddler playgroup/pre-k at cbi, then adam's house, assuming he isn't dying still. and then spamalot in boston! where history/english papers and a spanish powerpoint fit in, i do not know, but i'll figure it out.

mmmm passover starts wednesday night. RIP bagels, challah, and pasta.

this is getting kind of long and pointless. i'm thinking that stopping would be a very good idea.

red sox have a 7-0 lead, one out, top of the second, bases loaded. cabrera is gone :)



28.

zach, heidi, neal, me, adam if he's not too sick :(



get better, sasquatch. i don't like you as much when you are throwing up everywhere, no offense.
