  • OMFG. . . .


    today i had my piano lesson at UT, and went 15 minutes over because my guild auditions are july 15, then when my sister had her lesson, my dad and i went for a walk to hillsborough river.  some people were having a wedding there and i really pitied the girls with those awful high heeled shoes.  looked really painful.  but we saw a dolphin, or maybe a shark in the river.  dad thought it was swimming fast, but i thought it was really pretty slow for a marine life form.  it looked like there were two of them.  then when we were walking back, it started raining very lightly.  i hear an odd fwoosh and see this funny silvery looking fog cloud, and then all of a sudden it's raining like hell and i got soaked just going for the nearest building. . . which was locked, but it had this porch thing so it was partially dry.  so dad says he'll go get the car and i should run and get frieza, and he'll drive the car to the door.  except we're about half a mile away.  at this time this random guy runs onto the porch thing cussing up the equivalent of any hurricane.  the trees were being blown around so that they resembled rainbows or slinkies, all arched over.  so then dad runs for the car and i go for the piano lesson building, but my shoes were being all slippery, so i just took off my shoes and ran barefoot.  felt pretty neat going through the puddles, the water was pretty warm.  so then i get to the building and almost slipped going in because my feet were all wet.  teacher looks at me kind of funny, guess i looked like i fell in the river or something.  dad drove around and frieza and i ran for the car.


    on bayshore, the water was about a foot deep already.  florida!  the water level rises a few inches and the whole state's underwater.  from an airplane, the whole state looks like one big half submerged swamp, like when you dump a bucket of water over some mud and it's all soggy with little puddles.  so bayshore was mostly submerged and the windshield kept getting all fogged up so we could hardly see out the front and when we could see, all we saw was water.  then we get home. . . and it's barely raining.  i moved all the plants closer to the house, but this one pot had a spikey weed growing in it, so there was this little thorn thing sticking out my finger.  on TV, they showed the hurricane dennis is pretty far off shore, except we're getting these huge rain bands.  well, we still have power, so i'm lucky.


    i got my school schedule and i'm getting everything i wanted to take!  they gave me stats and psychology and even let me take french, in addition to spanish!  the note said open house is august 2. . . except, unfortunately, i'm halfway to asia doing math in hawaii, but i'd rather be there anyways.  so dad's going to represent me at the open house, except the schedule's so confusing, i don't know how dad's going to manage.  it says i have french period 01 and psychology period 02, then some class 13, 15, and 17, then classes 23, 25, 27, then homeroom 60.  i guess the 01 and 02 mean periods 1 and 2, respectively, every day.  the 1 in 13 means day 1, the 3 means block 3, which means periods 3 and 4.  but homeroom period 60. . . i told dad the 0 means it's not a period and the 6 was a random number that's just randomly stuck there, like a place holder i guess.


    yesterday i passed the idiotic learners permit drug course, woohoo!  i missed 4, but that's still 90% and all we needed was 80%.  and i learned that people going toward a cement wall while asleep from being drunk is a bad idea.  really?  wow!!!  who would've thought!!!  in spanish: de veras???!!!!!  no me digas!!!!!  (really???!!!!!  you don't say!!!!!)   heh.  so today's just generally confusing.  maybe i'll go to sleep and hibernate until the hurricane passes and the sun comes out.
