"Okey dokey.... *creepy voice* ARTICHOKEY!"

The last two days, I've been reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I guess I was sick of my dad and brother making references from it and me not having a clue what they were talking about. I'm really enjoying it, it's quite... out there. For example:

       Here's what Encyclopedia Galactica has to say about alcohol. It says alcohol is a colorless volatile liquid formed by the formentation of sugars and also notes its intoxicating effect on certain carbon-based lifeforms.  

       The Hitchiker's guide to the Galaxy also mentions alcohol. It says the best drink in existence is the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. 

        It says the effect of drinking a Pan Galactic Gargle blaster is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick. 

       The Guide also tells you on which planets the best Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters are mixed, how much you can expect to pay for one and what voluntary organizations exist to help you rehabilitate afterwards. 

        

 It just has such a strange, awesome sense of humor. I definitely appreciate it. 

Also, as you probably guessed just by the fact that I just posted a few paragraphs about the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, that the first few days of summer have been very uneventful. Or rather, just the fact that I have a blog probably means my life, for the most part, is uneventful. However, I did go to Mispec with Sam, Katie yesterday. Even though it was beautiful in town, we got to Mispec and it was quite cold and cloudy. We still went swimming. Then we went back to Katie's house and sat in her bathtub in our bathing suits for an hour to warm up.

Another random observation about my life... the less I have going on in my life, the more I write about it. That is really weird. I guess that I actually have time to stop and think instead of having about half an hour of free time everyday.

I went grocery shopping today, and when I was helping my mom unpack the stuff at home, I noticed that cheddar cheese, carrots and oranges were all in the same bag. It was an awesomely orange bag.

Summer... is that you?

Guess what? I'm done school. It's summer. My French exam this morning was killer, though. I finished with probably 30 seconds to spare, and didn't even write the paragraph I was suppose to. Now I'm left chilling at home, waiting until I get motivation  to make myself lunch.

Now that it's summer, I have time to sit and fiddle with the new blog template thing. How do you like my new design? It's definitely quite different than what I had before, but I think that I like it. But I'm not sure. What do you think?

I need to get out and socialize. The last time I've hung out with people outside of school was...last Saturday.
Peace out!

"Julianne wins the photobomb award!" I don't think I've ever felt so proud.

I have my math and english exams tomorrow. Oh, joy. I kind of concerned because all of last week, my brain slowly was shutting down. Now I seem to be caught in summer mode, where I really can't think of anything academic. I have my French exam on Tuesday morning, and then I'm done with 9th grade. I exempted my Science exam to save me from potential failure.

I suddenly realized, what do I do after exams are done? I have two weeks before I go to Kenya, and absolutely nothing planned. I'm guessing it'll include:

• Doctor Who(in two weeks, I've watched two seasons. I need to slow down.)
  
• Cheesy musicals
  
• youtube videos
  
• sitting on swings
• sleeping in
• making pretty food
• tenting in a backyard
• sitting in the sun
• rubbing it in my brother's face that I get off school a week and a half earlier than him
• slushies
• try to get into shape so I don't pass out at 7000 ft altitude in Kenya
  
• etc.

Why I just did a list in point form, I don't know.

I went to Camp T Sunday, today. I went with just my dad because all the friends I called seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth. It was still fun.

I taught myself how to crochet yesterday. I feel very accomplished. Anybody have any ideas of anything I could crochet? Because I seriously have no idea what to do with my newly learned skill.
Love,
The quite exam-frazzled Julianne

Everyday in math class, my shoe unties. It never fails. I have no idea why. The math fairy unties my shoe, perhaps?

This morning went something like this- Mom: "My infection was cured overnight!" *takes large sip of tea, followed by coughing fit, showering my back in tea* Mom: "But my hicups weren't." That was definitely an... 'interesting' way of waking up.

To be perfectly honest, I will be extremely happy if next week flies by. I have a week of classes left, then a day and a half of exams. I want to be over with 9th grade. As for exams, I know I have to study quite a bit for Math and French. I have no idea what I have on my English exam yet. Hopefully, my teacher gets around to telling us soon. Thankfully, I'm exempting my Science exam, so that'll save me a lot of pain and suffering when it comes to studying.

According to Katie, out of the people who watch our youtube videos, 40% of them are Canadians, 20% from the US, 20% are from the UK, and 20% are from Spain. Also, 73% are female and 27% are male.

I starting watching Doctor Who yesterday. How could I have missed out on this for so long?
Love,
-J-
