Oh how the month of October always amazes me. Out of all the months that make up 365 days I'm sure you could find a much more suitable month, with better weather and better opportunities. October has unpreditcable weather, one week could be in the 80's and the next in the 30's. Yet even though October isn't ideal, somehow I have the best memories during those 31 days. The football season is always just ending within the first week or so and there's always that one last game that tops all the rest rather they win or lose. My friends and I always hang out as much as we can before the weather gets too bitterly cold. So, I'm always out with the guys, walking around and hanging out. Majority of my friends are in band and always at practice so I've become that one girl that hangs out with all the guys since they're done with football. I've come to a conclusion, guys are nuts. I love them, but they're crazy. Being the only girl in a group of 3+ guys can be fun at first, but after awhile, they could be so nasty, I swear they have no shame.
Last October was great, I was a happy eighth grader at Clark surronded by familiar faces. Now I'm a surviving freshman at LC surronded by new people. I've made tons of new friends yet somehow October this year was pure amazing because I was with all my Clark people. It's great going back to your old 'norm'. Those people that make my life exciting may leave my side, but never my memories.
Today's Halloween. Did anyone notice? It felt like an average Monday, except for recieving cupcakes in 7th hour. I hate that as we're growing up we're losing touch with all those things that would make the little kid in ourselves scream in excitment. Too old to trick-or-treat? Psh, please. Free candy, we're still young! That's the problem, I don't think anyone has stopped and lived a little because what they want to do isn't 'socially acceptable'. If you want to trick-or-treat then go! Don't let some jock in 3rd period call you lame for it, you're the one having fun.
Now raise your glass, it's October 31st, Happy Halloween.
My phone vibrated, I looked down to find a lit up screen that read one new message. In a yellow box it read, "Hey want to go to six flags tomorrow?" from Collin. Excitment filled my body as I quickly typed back, 'yes!'
Call me lame, but I've never been to Six Flags in my life, until this weekend. Brian Sweeny and Austin Polak went as well. As much as I was looking forward to sleeping in on Saturday I had to rise and shine at eight in the morning. But I knew it was going to be an amazing day. I got to Collin's and all of us piled into his car and started off on our two hour car ride. Austin and I fell asleep but once we got there we were wide awake. Not only was it my first time at Six Flags it was also my first time being on a roller coaster since I was 7. So of course they dragged me on the Superman ride first. I was terrified, but I knew it would be worth the fear. The line wait was about an hour, and let me tell you, bees really like me. While we were waiting in a line this one pesky bee wouldn't leave me alone. Eventually we got on the ride. I kept my eyes closed for most of it, but it was so fun! Around four all the actors dressed up as extremely creepy monsters started walking around the park since it was Fright Fest. We went in a haunted house called the Medical Center. Not worth your money! But being a girl, I was scared! Thank god I was with all these guys. Wink. So it was worth it for me. We watched some shows, went on some kiddie no-line rides, got some food, chilled. Finally got on another ride, The American Eagle. Best ride ever! Then we went through Necropolis which is a free haunted walk through. It was kind of scary but I had gone through it enough to be desensitized. Oh, and how can I forget? We went on this teacup ride, you go really fast and there's strobe lights it's really fun until it's over and your so dizzy you feel like you're going to see that funnel cake you ate an hour ago. But then we went to go see if Gotham's line had gotten any shorter and we had to pass through the Clowns. I am deathly afraid of clowns. I was freaking out but knew I had to act cool so they wouldn't see my fear. But then I looked down and at my feet was some clown creep crawling on the ground. I jumped! All the guys were laughing. We were at the park from open til close. So it's safe to say I fell asleep on the ride home. It was an amazing first six flags experience and I hope to go with all them again!
Since the high school year started I was worried about losing my close friends. Our schedules didn't match up and since I recently moved from St.John to Schereville I now don't ride the bus with all them. Yes, I was one of those crazy Clark kids. I was worried that I would lose the two biggest influences in my life. Somehow I thought my friendships with them would suddenly fall like it was never there. But I just recently realized, they care just as much as I. Sure, we talk about our new friends, but who do our new friends hear us talk about? The old ones. I'm glad that this whole transition, which by now I'm use to, hasn't torn my friendships to dust. Since the move I feel like my only ties to back home are my friends. Seeing them in the halls always adds a spark to my day. Hopefully one of these years I will get a class or lunch with them. Believe it or not, I love school, I must be that one in a million. It's already mid-October, freshman year is flying by. High School really isn't as bad as TV and movies make it. I'm no longer intimidated by the next 3 years.
So it's Wednesday afternoon. This week is going by quickly. Today has been interesting. Lunch was a big game of hide and seek. Yuni, Kelly, and Quinn would understand. We took refuge in the bathroom. Whew, it's freezing in this room! Chill out on the A.C. ha, get it? Cheesy, yeah I know. Can't wait for algebra next hour, I absolutely love that class. Tomorrow is a blue day, and I'm ecstatic! Not much is new in-or-out of school. Get to hang out and see family, which I haven't seen in forever. Once I get home from school I'm either sleeping or hanging with friends. So I guess it's about time I get around to seeing the family. The jacuzzi is finally up and running! This morning I woke up around five so I could just relax and wake up before the hectic white day started. Now the day has almost concluded and the only thing that's running through my mind is sleep.
So it's Monday afternoon. So far so boring. But it's safe to say this week is going to be amazing. My bonfire is Friday and getting the jingle bash tickets! I'm stoked. Who even says that word, 'stoked' anymore though. Well, for a white day, today's going pretty good. Ugh, three white days this week, oh well, I can survive. At least next week has three glorious blue days. Just checked RDS, grades are doing great! Well compared to last years anyways.
Maybe it's not just an average Monday, but a slow start to an amazing week. Fingers crossed!
