I have one professor from new york, one from south Carolina, and one from Hungary. So, I'd say I have a wide variety of accents to work with. Not complaining, just interesting I do suppose. My Individual and Society professor was not my favorite. I loved every single professor last semester, and 2 out of 3 this semester is not too bad I suppose. But so far, my first impressions of this guy are not okay... He swears. Alot. and says "MMMMKAY!" like the teacher on south park. The entire time I was in there I felt like I was in a prison camp! Come to find out, he worked in a prison for 13 years. :( We can't have any electronics. No phones, ipods, laptops, nothing. And if you get caught 3 times, you fail the class. That is some serious business for a gen ed class nobody is suppose to work extensively in. UGH! I am at 18 credits this semester... and after the first day, I would say that this is going to be a LONG semester. I already have hours worth of homework in every single class. But hey, nobody said this was going to be easy. It's going to be difficult, and I will have to work at this every second of every day. In the long run I'll be happy with my career, and my life. So, no complaining, only trying harder to work harder. :) That is all for now. I'm off to start this homework! Thanks for reading.<br />~stephanie joy.Stephanie Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13458822554606570032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177557184341791517.post-59730007349898126652012-01-16T20:59:00.000-08:002012-01-16T21:03:15.452-08:00Part Two: Here we are again...Today I moved back into my dorm room, and it feels so strange. I finally got use to living here and then i had to move back home. I have been home for over a month and have gotten use to that, but now I must move back again. It is bitter sweet. I miss home. I'm glad I am back here though; there are good and bad things. I have my books all ready to go for tomorrow. My first day of classes include Psychology of the exceptional child, Individual and Society, and Calculus I. Sounds like an exciting first day! Check back tomorrow and I will let you know how the day went. As for now, I am heading to bed. Good night.<br />~stephanie joy.Stephanie Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13458822554606570032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177557184341791517.post-16052695536215994692011-12-05T18:32:00.000-08:002011-12-05T18:40:15.166-08:00The First Year Experience: Half Way Point.I cannot believe that this year is already winding down! I have 6 more days of classes and then 3 final exams left to go! I am all registered for my second semester of college already! This first semester has been wonderful! I have met so many people and have had so many great experiences here already! Some productions I attended this semester include: NWC, Operatic Gems, Blast!, The Art Institute Chicago, The Contemporary Art Museum Chicago, Macbeth, Guys & Does, Thodos Dance Chicago, and The Edwin Booth Company Presents. I will also be seeing The Nutcracker with my mother and sister in 2 weeks. I will be auditioning for "She Stoops to Concur" next semester and will also be taking Acting I and Intro to Technical Theatre! I cannot wait! I will also be in Calculus I, Individual and Society, and Psychology of the Exceptional Child! I will be at 18 credits, as full as it gets, but it sounds like a blast to me! I am so pleased with my first year here, but I'm ready to be home for awhile now. :) Happy Holidays Everyone!Stephanie Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13458822554606570032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177557184341791517.post-44488585012358502022011-11-20T17:26:00.000-08:002011-12-05T18:31:27.342-08:00The First Year Experience: Busy Weekend!Most eventful weekend in a long time!<br />Thursday: Frsh/Soph play! and catching up with Mr. Reilly. :)<br />Friday: Work.

I got mashed potatoes and proceeded to wait in this terribly long line that went around the entire buffet area in order to get pasta, which of course, was the last thing in the line... After waiting about 10 minutes... After my mashed potatoes were cold. I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">finally</span> got to the pasta and put some on my plate. The group ate in the Whitewater room and I sat with my friends <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Amanda</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Jordan</span>. I began to eat my cold potatoes which were still yummy. However, the pasta was nasty, and not worth the wait. :( Eating with my girls was super fun though! We event got seats next to each other to see the show <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">NWC</span>.<br />N.W.C. stands for 3 naughty words that we should not ever say. The play had only 3 guys. It was a comedy. There is not an easy way for me to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">describe</span> this show, it is just something you have to experience. I will only say this, I laughed, and gasped the entire time! Some things were so hilarious. Some things were so sad. And others just down right crazy town, "I can't believe he just said that!" All in all it was a wonderful 2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">nd</span> experience. Stay tuned for next week! I'll be attending a lecture on H2O and a music show entitled "Opera Gems" Should be fun! :)<br /><br />~<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">stephanie</span> joy.Stephanie Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13458822554606570032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177557184341791517.post-10115928322191255422011-09-25T18:45:00.001-07:002011-09-25T18:49:53.094-07:00The First Year Experience: Home for HomecomingThis previous weekend I went home for my high school homecoming weekend. I attended the Assembly and Football game. I was able to see many of my good friends. My life has been going through many changes lately so it was good to get a little inspiration from the people that love me most. :) Ben had a bon fire at his house, and I was able to spend the entire evening with Holly, Hannah, Kelci, Tyler, Brina, Ben and a few others. It was truly a wonderful evening.<br /><br />~stephanie joy.Stephanie Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13458822554606570032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177557184341791517.post-53669574715144437492011-09-20T15:49:00.000-07:002011-09-20T16:01:14.218-07:00The First Year Experience: "Perspectives"I would just like to take the time today to share with you a story told to the class by my Global Perspectives professor. This may not be very funny to you all, but I really enjoyed class today and am going to blog this post for my own reading later on in my life. :)<br /> She told us a story about when she took a small group of students to Russia for a tour/visit. The group went to a dinner at a friend of my professors home. She cooked all 15 of them dinner and invited them into their home with open arms. In return the students thought they should do the dishes as a way to say thank you, since she would accept no money. The students, using democratic thinking, organized the dish schedule by days. everyone was assigned a day, and on said day they would do the dishes. The Russian woman thought it was HILARIOUS! And everywhere she went she would explain to her friends that the Americans were going to take turns doing the dishes. Even the guys in the group were going to be assigned a day! They thought it was so unreal. My professor explained to us, that at that time in Russia, they all thought that men couldn't do dishes. Like they CAN'T do them, like the can't have a baby! (My class all busted out in laughter because here we obviously know men can do dishes... they may not be very skilled. but they are capable.) She went on to say that things are beginning to change there. The last time she visited, about four years ago, she said she started to see men grocery shopping! Now, they didn't exactly know all of the rules of grocerying, like staying on the right side and if someone is behind you and you can't find the pickles, you slide your cart over so they can get around you; but either way, they were grocery shopping. Moral of the story, is that not everyone thinks of sharing jobs and sharing dish washing among the guests in an orderly fashion... but getting slightly off topic always makes for an enjoyable class period. :)<br /><br />~stephanie joy.Stephanie Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13458822554606570032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177557184341791517.post-45788755425381464502011-09-12T22:33:00.000-07:002011-09-12T22:40:12.405-07:00The First Year Experience: Art Experience #1!Today was the grand opening of the first art exhibit in the Crossman Gallery which is located in the Center of the Arts here on campus. The genius behind the idea for the exhibit made an appearance as well as some of the artists. The exhibit was entitled Sobre Vivendo: Manejese con Cuidado, meaning Surviving: Handle with Care. The works were all prints of various endangered species in a city in Mexico. The idea was to make people aware of these endangered species in order to help save them. The art was so magnificent, and the story behind each print was moving. It was a wonderful experience getting to see all of these pieces and the man behind it. At times it was slow moving because he only spoke Spanish and it took double the time to have a translator repeat what he just said. But it was absolutely amazing to hear everything he had to say about the exhibit. That particular exhibit has only been shown in 3 cities in Mexico, and 1 city in America. So to have it shown to us here on campus was so surreal. The art was so enjoyable and i did not even care that I had to write a paper on the exhibit. It was so enjoyable getting to share with my professor my thoughts on the exhibit. :) An experience I will never forget.<br /><br />~stephanie joy.Stephanie Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13458822554606570032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177557184341791517.post-21680621282352501262011-09-12T22:26:00.000-07:002011-09-12T22:33:20.706-07:00The First Year Experience: Week OneWeek one flew by! It was only 3 days long after all. My classes went really well. All of my professors are fabulous, and I sit by friends in every single one of my classes. :) Monday and Wednesday seem to be my girl days. I spend most of my day with my two friends Amanda and Jordan, and then Tuesday and Thursday I usually go to dinner with Tim and Ben. The homework has been manageable so far and has been easy to balance with fun time.... Hopefully it stays that way. The facility here is wonderful. All of the buildings are beautiful inside and out and I really enjoy walking around campus, although it gets really hot some days. I'm sure it'll be freezing cold soon enough though... They have completed the construction project on the opposite side of the building next to us, and have now moved to right outside my bedroom window. They woke me up when they were a block away, and now I get woken up each and every morning by construction dudes right outside my window. But oh well! At least I never over sleep. :) Ultimately, its wonderful here. I miss my friends and my family all the time, but ill survive. These four years will most likely fly by faster then the last four years of high school did. Tis all for now, I'm off to dream land.<br /><br />~stephanie joy.Stephanie Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13458822554606570032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177557184341791517.post-23414683974260267842011-09-03T21:58:00.000-07:002011-09-03T22:09:00.266-07:00The First Year Experience: Class UpdateSo as you may already know, I have changed my major about 500 times this summer. Classes start Tuesday and I have finally made a final decision... I hope. ;) I no longer am an Art major, but will be a Secondary Education Major in Mathematics with a minor in Theatre. The classes I will be taking this semester include:
<br />Personal Health and Wellness. 1 credit.
<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Elementary</span> Functions (a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Precalc</span> class). 5 credits. (That means its important)
<br />Global Perspectives. 3 credits. (I have this class with Ben)
<br />World of the Arts. 3 credits. (I have this class with my new friend Tim)
<br />New Student Seminar. 1 credit. (I have this class with Ben and Tim :) )
<br />Women's Chorale. 1 credit. (I have this class with my new friend Jordan.)
<br />Giving me a grand total of 14 credits this semester.
<br />My new advisor recommends you take 15 credits, but he also said that it is best to go easy your first semester to get use to college living. And since typical students start with a math 120 class it would be easier, but because of my ACT score I am in a math 152 class... Therefore my class will be a bit more challenging. My health and wellness class ends in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">october</span>, I have the two months before that to decide if i want to take a 1 credit gym class during <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">november</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">december</span>. That will put me at 15... but i only need 12 credits. so i suppose 14 will be good for now. :) This weekend has been flying by! Only two more free days and then classes will start on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">tuesday</span>. Wish me Luck! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Toodles</span> for now.

<br />Club U-Dub-Dub is the freshman orientation! It started at 10am. and went until 11:30 pm... it was a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">loooonnnnngggggg</span> day, but it was so much fun! We all started the day with a hilarious comedian Micheal Dean Ester! His message was about following your dreams and "Do your thing!" He told us that our life is a movie, and we are the director. The entire show had us all laughing and clapping. It was a memory I will never forget. After that we went to our "club house" and I met my club! Club 62 the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Beuax</span> Arts learning community club! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Beuax</span> Arts it the name of the Arts learning community at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">UWW</span>. Everyone in it is involved with the arts in one way or another. It gave us a chance to meet new people that were interested in the same things we were interested in. People in Band, Art, Music or Theatre. It was great because we played "get to know you" types of games. But it was different when it was all art students, because everyone knew what you were talking about! You could use stage terms, or music terms and no one was like, "wait... what's that?" So that was really fun, and really great. Ben was in that group so he was with me the entire day. But i began to meet a few new people as well. Kim Kim is a music major and she loves lady gaga. Another friend of mine is a guy named Tim. He is a Theatre major. Tim and I talked <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">alot</span> that night. I see us becoming good friends, and we have two classes together this semester. :) Later <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">during</span> the day we went to another lecture comedian this time a women. She wasn't as funny as the first guy, but she had so many wonderful messages. One moment that really hit everyone was when she related everything we do, to that of a 5 year old. She showed a picture of herself when she was 5, telling us that if you wouldn't put that 5 year old in a specific situation, why would you want yourself to be in that same situation? I quite enjoyed it, because many of my friends tease me about looking 5, sounding 5, acting 5, and eating in ways a 5 year old might eat. But that day, right there, i was able to turn to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">ben</span> and say, "see, being 5 years old like me <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">isn't</span> so bad after all is it?" Just goes to show everyone that I'll be alright. :) Ive been making good decisions, and will continue to do so. Don't worry guys.
<br />After that we had a bit of a break. We all changed and got all <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">purpled</span> up! We went back to our club house and made signs and put on purple face paint so we were all ready for the pep rally!!!! It started with us all chanting our various cheers! We were club 62. One chant was when our leader would say, "Who are you?" Then we would respond,"CLUB 62, AND WERE BETTER THAN YOU! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">WOOOOOOO</span>!!!!!" It was so much fun. :) Everyone was pumped with energy and we then all ran through this tunnel of people including staff, football players, cheerleaders, and dancers! The entire freshman class of 2015 filled the stadium! As we waited for everything to start they played great music and the entire crowd was singing and dancing and cheering! At one point the speakers went out and the entire stadium continued to sing along to the song that had been on! It was so awesome and so much fun! we got to hear the band play and see the cheer and dancers do routines. The QB of the football team gave us a nice message and then we learned our school song! we sang through it twice and then we learned the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">warhawk</span> strut. "shake shake shake your butt, and do the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">warhawk</span> strut! Shake it to the right, shake it to the left! Shake it with the one you love tonight!" It was so much fun! Once the rally was over the entire class proceeded out to paint <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">warhawk</span> drive purple! We all boot on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">booties</span> over our shoes grabbed the paint rolled and painted the street purple!!!!! Once it was all complete the cannon sounded <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">signifying</span> that we were ready to start out adventure here at Whitewater. So many memories were made that night, and will never be forgotten. Day 2 complete. Success.

Moving away from loves park and headed for whitewater. Mother and I started the day off nice and early shopping for my last minute supplies. I got to say a few important goodbyes and then it was time to load the car... or should i say cars. :) My cougar was full, and so was the back of the suburban. We picked up Ms. Devin Jolene. and then my Mom, Dad, Devin, and I headed for the small city! When we arrived i went to get my room key while the others unloaded. Dad had a hobbley leg. so he waited while the rest of us carried aaaalllllll of my stuff to the 4th floor of the residence hall. that first trip seemed long but I'm already getting used to it. We then unpacked and set everything up. I met my roommate Jessie. She is very nice, often quiet, but I am sure that will change soon. And probably my favorite thing about her... she is short like me. :D Once i was settled and goodbyes were made I ventured off to change my major with Ben. I am now a secondary education major. degree in Math with a minor in Theatre. :) Sounds fun to me! Once that was settled it was off to get books! Whitewater has a wonderful textbook rental system. it was wonderfully organized and only 74 dollars for any and all books i needed and it was included in tuition! :) I found all of my books rather quickly except my Math book... they had about 3 aisles full of math books. and i need to find the one for my class. 152. I knew I needed a book for that class. I just could not find it anywhere! up and down the rows i went. searching and staring and it was nowhere to be found... after about 10 minutes of standing in the middle of the aisle. i found it. about 4 feet above my eye level. HAHA! if only i had a taller person with me... they could have helped me spot it faster. but either way. I got my books. and probably my favorite part about getting books... i got to pick which book i wanted! I didn't get stuck with yucky nasty books! I dug through the piles and got the clean, new, nice looking books with no bent covers or yucky corners. it was awesome.
<br />Later that night we had a floor meeting for everyone on my floor. We met both of our RAs and then got a chance to mingle with other people on our floor. Everyone is a freshman like me. There are 72 on the floor. CRAZY! Jessie and I met the people across the hall from us and their neighbors. Jessie, Elisa, myself, and one other girl I can't remember her name... but the four of us went walking around campus. Looked around and that was fun. I then met up with ben for dinner at Drumlin Hall. My first meal on campus. Pizza, a bread stick, lemonade, and jello. :) it was delicious! After that Ben and I went to a hypnotist show. It was absolutely hilarious! Great way to end Day 1 at UWW!

I AM SO EXTREMELY EXCITED!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!! =] you see, C<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">horaleers</span> is an audition choir at my school. The past two years I have been in treble choir, which is an all girls choir. I have loved these past two years because everyone that is in that choir has had the same lunch and the same gym class. I have gotten really close to my girl friends. And since it is an all girls choir that all means an all girls gym. The all girls gym has been the absolute most <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">amazing</span> thing!! I love it because there are no guys that snatch the ball away from you, and no guys that think you wont do good and they never let you play. Its all girls so we all tend to participate... with the exception of a few weird people. ha ha. I just love it because I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">don't</span> have to worry about anyone else I can play and have fun and get a good grade. As many of you know, stupid people have decide to go to the 7 periods instead of blocks at <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Harlem</span>, so next year all of this will change. Choir students won't have gym or lunch together, everything will be all jumbled and we are going to be split up. =( Its going to be sad. This year almost all of my friends are in C<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">horaleers</span>. I want to be in it too! Today the list for next years choir was posted and I, Stephanie Joy R., is in C<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">horaleers</span>!!! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">AAAAAHHHH</span>!!!!! I Feel like screaming and crying and peeing all at the same time!!!! I am so excited and SO HAPPY!! =] It is ALL thanks to Mrs. Cain! =] I love that women so much. She has done WAY too much for me to write on here, but the list goes on and on. This year, sadly, is her last year teaching at Harlem, but I will never forget this women. I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">truly</span> love her, and thank her everyday for making my life what it is. I would not be the person I am today, without her.

Therefore, I get all new classes. My new schedule goes like this...<br /><br />1st block: Intro to Art<br />2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">nd</span> block: Honors Biology <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Acc</span>.<br />3rd block: Treble Choir/ Gym<br />4<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">th</span> block: Health<br /><br />Intro to Art:<br />I was very excited to have this class. ART! WOO! but this... is intro to art. Where I will be relearning the basic art elements over again for about the 500<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">th</span> time. I didn't really think the class <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">would</span> be easy, but I thought I would enjoy it. I really miss art class. But I do not know anyone in that class except one girl that I know that is a freshman. The class today was really EXTREMELY boring. And nobody talked. They were like ZOMBIES! The teacher asked a question, and everyone just sat there... I nodded and smiled. =] The teacher seemed nice, but she is a hard grader. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">I'm</span> a little worried about that part... She said <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">probably</span> one person in the class would get an A. That person will be me, because I do not get B's. ESPECIALLY IN ART CLASS!!!!!<br /><br />Honors Biology <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Acc</span>.<br />THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE CLASS!!!! I LOVE SCIENCE! I don't really like biology, because of what you learn about, but I think the class will be fun. The teacher is great, and I KNEW EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THAT CLASS!! except for one... but hes really nice! we talked and were kind of friends now. =] The people in that class are so cool, and I am just really going to love that class. I already know. It is going to be so much fun everyday. Other than what we are learning but still... So I sit next to Cody. I hope we get to keep our seats so that he will be my lab partner. Hes cool. Then to the left I sit by Tyler Ward. =] <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">HAHA</span>! I love that kid. I have known him since forever and hes hilarious. Then behind me is this kid Ben that i didn't know, but now i know. And also my good friend Haley. =] Yep... that class is going to be <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">awesome</span>.<br /><br />Choir/Gym<br />same old. same old.<br /><br />Lunch.<br />Lunch today was crazy. My normal was extra crowded. 6 new people sat at our table. Keep in mind these tables are suppose to seat 8. And we already had 7, now we have 6 more. =( I think <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">tomorrow</span> I will sit with my friends, not <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Austin's</span> friends. I love his friends and I love him. But i didn't like lunch today. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Tomorrow</span> I would like to sit with <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Devin</span> and M<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">akenzie</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Cody</span>, but <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Austin</span> might get mad if I start being with Cody all the time... so I'm not sure what I am going to do yet. <br /><br />Health<br />I didn't really want to take health. It is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">required</span> so I am taking it. I hate that class. After one day, I already don't like it. I am a student that has all accelerated classes and I get A's. Then I go to health. And I have a "team teacher" which is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">basically</span> a teacher for people who need extra help or need to be taught <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">differently</span> or something. I don't know. But I have never had one before, and I don't need one now. The teacher is fine. I like him. But I don't like the people in my class. And the teacher has to explain every single word he says in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">easier</span> words. And I am really not use to that, I am use to my teachers using big words. And not <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">having</span> to explain them. It was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">annoying</span>. But yea, that was my first day with new classes.<br /><br />until next time...<br /><br />~<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">stephanie</span> joyStephanie Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13458822554606570032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177557184341791517.post-52244166867093980822009-01-16T20:29:00.000-08:002009-01-16T20:54:46.273-08:00MY NIGHT WITH DEVIN!!!So today, me and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Devin</span> went to the mall. =] It was so much fun.

LOOK! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">HAHA</span>!!" and she was like, "what am i looking at?" <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">lol</span>. and Then she noticed. We both were standing in the middle of the mall <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">cracking</span> up. Other people walked by and didn't notice and had no <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">clue</span> why we were laughing so hard. But, we knew why we <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">were</span> laughing. and we took a photo to share with you, and maybe you can laugh a little bit too, at the topless <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">manikin</span> in the widow at <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">American</span> eagle. =] </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ0R7BRq8jcq6O3gxFFemw6S0mClcsu1_6I9gOaoz5WPSdwpcywm8d7kR20CbXeTUsd5aE2jcu7wHs-mLpKt56CCJ80FsCqHconB3PiM_cTOiaf48PMLci2_9_ukUGi1og_9VnMDstTGE/s1600-h/devnsteph3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292115947373696802" style="WIDTH: 170px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 226px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ0R7BRq8jcq6O3gxFFemw6S0mClcsu1_6I9gOaoz5WPSdwpcywm8d7kR20CbXeTUsd5aE2jcu7wHs-mLpKt56CCJ80FsCqHconB3PiM_cTOiaf48PMLci2_9_ukUGi1og_9VnMDstTGE/s320/devnsteph3.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div></div><div>This next one is one of my new favorites of me and my best friend.

That means that this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Thursday</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Friday</span> I have final exams. These wonderful tests are worth 20% of my grade. Because Harlem is amazing I have Blocks, which are even more amazing. So I only have to worry about four classes. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Although</span> next year this will not be the case, but I am going to enjoy Block <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">scheduling</span> while I can. So Thursday I have a Spanish 2 Final, and I also have my Honors English 10 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Acc</span>. final. Then this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Friday</span> I have my Honors Geometry <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Acc</span>. Final and then I have choir so I will not have two finals that day, only one. Today was such a busy day at school. I had a quiz in geometry, a presentation that I needed to have memorised in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Spanish</span>, then in choir we had voice testing, and in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">English</span> we had to memorise a poem. Today was crazy, but I got through it. And now I need to prepare for my finals. My phone is off, and my books are out. Now I just need to go study. =] For my picture of the day, I took a photo of my books. It seemed fitting because my day is completely revolving around school.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2weJw0khAdK9sLDyJEDN8aeqtzAqd1E4xmsLJxEbm_shRZzCbfWIKh1tiH2A0oCO1GD_tC-ftvpSx0LEW9-nOeFAn6ew9-mYthmjeEoCjyzwJ3os8qzxT8KRFukmTm0JWLCvYSfZYvWw/s1600-h/day1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290536466030432370" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2weJw0khAdK9sLDyJEDN8aeqtzAqd1E4xmsLJxEbm_shRZzCbfWIKh1tiH2A0oCO1GD_tC-ftvpSx0LEW9-nOeFAn6ew9-mYthmjeEoCjyzwJ3os8qzxT8KRFukmTm0JWLCvYSfZYvWw/s320/day1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />That is all for now, thanks for reading,<br /><br />~<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">stephanie</span> joy.Stephanie Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13458822554606570032noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177557184341791517.post-3044371239835985332009-01-11T19:09:00.000-08:002009-01-11T19:12:42.392-08:00So...Last year when i first started this, well...

I am posting!!!! Okay, so I have a very funny story to tell all of you. Well, I thought it was funny at first, that was until I was hit with the after math. Here goes my story. So today in gym class after doing our usual warm-up my class and a few students from other classes went upstairs to the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">weight</span> room... like <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">the</span> place where you work out on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">tread</span> mills, and you lift <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">weights</span> up there. So anyways, we were up there for gym and in the weight room there are two sets of doors that you can use to enter and exit the room. On one side there is a set of stairs that takes you down into the hallway then into the gym that leads you to the girls locker room. The other set of doors leads you <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">straight</span> to the gym that takes you to the locker room. I needed to get to the locker room so I could change and then go to lunch. I was very hungry today after working out so much in gym. =] So when the teacher released us, many student went out the door that takes you too the hallway. Actually, everybody went that way except for 6 girls. The much faster way is to go out the other way. Then you just go down those stairs and into the gym. Also with only 6 of us going that way would be much faster. So, my friend <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Whitney</span> and I decided to go the short way. Also 2 other girls that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">were</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">jrs</span>. from our gym class followed us. And two other girls that i have never seen in my life went the faster way too. So the 6 of us walk down the stairs and in front of us is the door that leads to the gym. We pull on the doors and much to our dismay, the doors are locked. DARN! so much for the fast way. We then went back up the stairs to go back into the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">weight</span> room to go down the other stairs and go into the gym. And again we are looking at the doors that lead to the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">weight</span> room and we pull... and GUESS WHAT!!! LOCKED! YES! Both sets of doors were locked. there are no windows in the doors either. they are black solid doors. So all six of us were trapped in the hallway. So we <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">pounded</span> on the door that leads to the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">weight</span> room, and nobody answered. By this time everyone was downstairs and going through the gym to go into the locker room. So we ran down the stairs and started <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">pounding</span> on the door and yelling <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">help</span>, help, we are locked in! and sadly, no body came to the rescue. So we sat there, waiting, and waiting, still pounding on the door. Nobody came. I wanted to go to lunch! I wanted to go home! How long would we be in there? Nobody knows where we are!!! <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">AAH</span>!!! Luckily, one of the creepy girls I have never seen before was a bad student. And she had brought her phone to gym class with her. WOO!!!! A PHONE!! Perhaps we could tell someone we were in there and they could free us! but who to call?? I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">don't</span> have many numbers memorised because I can just look for them in my contacts in my phone. So what to do? nobody knew who to call... THE SCHOOL! YES! We could call the school and they could send someone to free us!! At this time we still thought it was pretty funny, but we began to worry that we would be locked in the hallway for a very long time. AND we were in our ugly grey gym shirts and shorts. AND IT WAS SNOWING! And there was not any heat in that hallway, and if there was it was not on, and we did not fell warm. So anyway, we thought we would call the school, but would anyone know the schools number by heart? And again, LUCKILY, I was with a<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">nother</span> slacker girl that called the school often to call herself in because she wouldn't be at school that day. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">HA HA</span>! So, she called the school and very nicely said, hello, I am Erin and we are trapped in a hallway near the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Auxiliary</span> gym. Could you please send somebody down to let us out? The lady on the other end simply said okay, and hung up. I don't think she believed us! But think about, would you believe a girl on the phone telling you that a bunch of girls are locked in a hallway and they need someone to let them out? I think she thought we were prank calling her. So we waited about 5 minutes, still banging on the door and yelling. Evidently nobody could hear us. And if they did, I guess they didn't care. So after the 5 or so minutes had past we called again. At this time the bell had rung and we were locked up <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">during</span> our lunch period. So a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">different</span> girl called the second time and she said, "okay, seriously, there are 6 girls here and we are locked in a hallway. We need someone to come and let us out so that we can change and eat lunch." This time the lady believed us, and she called down an aide and so we waited. We waited another <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">probably</span> 8 minutes. So we were locked in there a very long time, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">probably</span> almost 25 minutes. That is a long time to be locked in a hallway in your school. So FINALLY! the aide showed up. She was not happy. She opened the door and very rudely asked us what we were doing in there!! OBVIOUSLY WE were TRAPPED! and we were waiting for her to come let us out. Then she asked who our teacher was and we were all from different classes so we didn't name anyone and we were <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">really</span> just trying to get to lunch. So me and my friend ran to the locker room, and the other girls walked there too. Then I changed as fast as i could. And somehow that crazy mean hall aid was down there asking us for our names. The other slacker girls teased her and gave her crazy names, but then she asked to see all of our IDs so that she could give us <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">referrals</span>. =( I don't get <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">referrals</span>. I have never gotten one in my life. And to get one for <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">accidentally</span> getting locked into a hallway? WHAT!?!?! It isn't my fault my stupid school has doors that lock you into the hallway. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">SHEESH</span>! I was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">very very</span> sad. For those of you that may not know, I am a perfect student. I never get in trouble! I have NEVER gotten a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">referral</span> EVER!!! I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">DON'T</span> EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS!!!!! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31">UHHH</span>!!!! So, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">tomorrow</span> me and the other 5 girls are <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">having</span> some sort meeting with the principal. I can't believe it though. My day was going rather well, and i really don't think that I should get in trouble. I made a mistake. How was I suppose to know that the door was going to be locked? It is always unlocked every other time! Also, how was i suppose to know that the other door would lock behind us? I didn't know. I have only been up to that room a few times and I was unaware. So yea, that is my story. I thought it was worth sharing. And I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">haven't</span> posted anything in a really really long time. I am going to try to blog more. Please comment!! And tell me what you think of my story. =] thanks for reading!

At my school we were <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">participating</span> in "Pennies for Peace" a program that helps build schools in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Pakistan</span>. At my school there was a "homecoming package" that was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">available</span> to anyone who donated three times. on three different days. anyone who did that, got their name put into a drawing for the prize. it included two homecoming shirts, with our slogan "FEAST ON EAST" =] and two tickets to the homecoming dance, and 50$ to a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">restaurant</span> of the winners choice. sounds like a pretty good prize, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">don't</span> you agree? so the other day me and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Austin</span> were <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">discussing</span> what we were going to do for homecoming. we disgused who was paying for what and rides and that sort of thing. and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Austin</span> said that he wanted to pay for all of my stuff. but <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Austin</span> is a freshman. in high school. only fourteen years old. and ... he had a summer job. but he isn't making any money currently. so i was thinking that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">wasn't</span> going to work so well, because his parents said they were not going to give him any money<br />(or so that is what he told me. but it is very possible that he just assumed that and didn't actually ask.) , but he assured me he would get the money. he <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">didn't</span> know how. but he would get it. he could use his birthday money he got last month. but then today <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">during</span> the morning <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">announcements</span>, they were telling everybody that the winner of the homecoming <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">package</span> would be drawn today. and YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHO WON!!!!!!!!! AUSTIN!!!! YEA!!!! MY <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">BESTEST</span> BOYFRIEND EVER! HE WON! and it was crazy because we were just talking about who would be paying for dinner. and evidently our school will be giving us 50 DOLLARS FOR DINNER!!!! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">YAY</span>!!!! =] and shirts! and tickets! i was so happy and i <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">didn't</span> even win! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">haha</span>. I REALLY wish I could have seen his face though. that would have been amazing. I wish i could have seen MY face. I was so excited. and I wasn't even sure if he was going to be buying me dinner with that money. I was just happy that he won! =] but yea. I will answer any questions you may have about him. I know you all may be a little <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">surprised</span> that i haven't mentioned him sooner. this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">coming</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Monday</span> will be our 2 months. =] so <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">that's</span> cool i guess. =] but please <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">don't</span> be mad at me that i waited 2 months to tell all of you. I just <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">didn't</span> have time. I have been so busy with school. and with my friends. and with <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">Austin</span>. but HERE YOU GO MOTHER!!!!!!!

I am so sorry. I haven't had any time.<br /><br />So upward bound took us to AI. which is the art institute of Chicago. it's like Chicago state university or something. I"m not quite sure but I know it is something like that. so anyway, we went there on Saturday, and we <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">listened</span> to a presentation. There they specialise in culinary, graphic arts, fashion, and interior design. While listening to the presentation I realised that i have no clue about what I want to do with my life. There are a lot of things that i know i want to accomplish, and i thought i knew what wanted to be "when i grew up". But now i am very confused. I am glad though. Most people that know me know that I have wanted to be a physical therapist ever since fifth grade. and I do. I think. I wanted to be that because i wanted to help people but i couldn't be a doctor or nurse because i hate blood, and gross things like that. I also love children and wanted to work with them, so I thought physical therapy perfect! But now I am having second thoughts. I know nothing about muscles and bones and the human body, and I am not quite sure if i want to learn about all of that. I have always wanted to be an educator. a teacher. But I'm not sure if i will be able to teach one thing in many different ways so that multiple children will understand me. My mom suggested speech and language therapy because there is a high demand for that, but I am not really sure if i would enjoy doing that every day. and yes i understand that I am only a freshman, but i am almost a sophomore, which means that half of my high school classes are already chosen. So I should have some idea of where I am going for the last two years. Most people I know, know that I am artistic and i love doing anything with the arts. but is that really a career? would i really be okay if i was a artist for the rest of my life? or should that just be a hobby that i have on the side? and another thing I have been thinking about is where i want to go. A while ago I was certain that i was going to be moving out to Arizona. which was good with me, i like Arizona. its peaceful, and and beautiful. and Joe Jonas was born there. :p also my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">grammie</span> lives out there so i wouldn't be alone. and they have an amazing physical therapy program out there if i went into that. then I got an offer to go to Texas. ... <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">hmm</span> Texas might be good. I mean i don't see anything wrong with it. and nick Jonas was born there. My aunt and uncle live out there so i wouldn't be alone there either. And the newest place that i have been leaning toward for the past few months is California. When I went out there last summer, i fell in love. i LOVE California and it would be amazing if i lived there, or went to college there. if i wanted to go into the arts whether it be performing or visual, California is where a lot of the action is. and at cal state long beach they have physical therapy. plus Brandon and Kimberly and my aunt live out there. so again i wouldn't be lonely. AND one of the best things is Disneyland. I have always wanted to work there, and it would be amazing if i did. But no matter what i new i wanted to go west. WAY WEST FAR AWAY FROM HERE. Then this weekend when i went up to Chicago i was like...<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">hmm</span>, maybe i DO want to stay here after all. Chicago isn't that far away. and then we got a tour of the dorms for Colombia and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">depaul</span>. and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">OMJ</span>! They are amazing. I was sold. I was like man i wish there were dorms like this for every college. they were so beautiful, and clean and spacious. but i know nothing about Colombia so i don't know. So many options. This is like the first big choice in my life, and i don't want to choose the wrong one. Well that is what has been on my mind lately.<br /><br />American idol:<br />What have i been telling you. the final three are going to be my favorite three guys. We only have one more week and my prediction will come true. I really want the final three to be David <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Archeleta</span>, and Jason Castro, and David Cook. David <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Archeleta</span> is such an amazing signer and he wants this really bad. Jason Castro isn't the best singer in the world but he is an amazing person and I love just watching him. David Cook, really knows how to perform and he signs awesome too. so they are all different, and i love them all.<br /><br />Big Brother:<br />Now over and I am so sad, but i am super excited to announce that James(my favorite) won 25,000 dollars!!! because he was America's favorite jury member. I voted for him like 800 times and i am SO GLAD that he won.<br /><br />well... i guess that is all for now. I will try to keep you updated a whole bunch this month. well talk to you later.<br /><br />thanks for reading<br /><br />~<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">stephanie</span> joyStephanie Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13458822554606570032noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177557184341791517.post-76891374320484630512008-04-18T11:43:00.000-07:002008-04-18T12:01:16.099-07:00Man, I haven't been doin so hot...with this whole <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">bloging</span> thing. I haven't posted in a week! I hope you all <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">truley</span> know i am sorry. But I have been so busy and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">everytime</span> I do post something it seems like I just ramble on and on about things that no one else cares about. <br /><br />So <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">hmmm</span>.... where to start.<br /><br />School.<br /><br />I am taking <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">contemporary</span> world studies <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Acc</span>.<br />It is really <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">boring</span>, we have a student teacher right now, but he is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">leaving</span> soon, and then I think that class will be better.<br /><br />I am taking Spanish 1.<br />That class is really fun, I have a lot of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">weired</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">o's</span> in that class, and we always get off topic and spend like half the class <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">doing</span> something pointless... yet hilarious. <br /><br />I am taking Choir.<br />I love Ms. Cain and I am really sad that she is only going to be my choir director one more year.<br />I tried out for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">choraleers</span>, and I didn't make it.... there are like a whole bunch of guys and not that many girls. I don't really mind not making <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">choraleers</span> though, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">because</span> I did make <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">treble</span> Choir and so did Ms. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Devin</span> =] so we will have choir and gym and LUNCH TOGETHER!!!! every single day next year.... that is like a 100% improvement from this year... we have no classes together, and we only get to talk for about 15 minutes at the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">beginning</span> of the day.<br /><br />Fourth block I am taking English 9 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Acc</span>.<br />Mr. Reilly...What more do i need to say.<br />It is his first time teaching, and not many people care for him, but i love him, he is like my favorite teacher ever. And he used to live in California, and he went to Cal State, which is a school i had in mind. and he worked at Disneyland, so yea.<br /><br />Lately my social life has been"booming" as my mom put it. I don't really understand what she is talking about though. I still have the same friends as always just lately we have been <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">handing</span> out on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Fridays</span> now. I guess that makes my social life "booming".<br /><br />Tonight I am going to the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">middle</span> school to support some of my old buddies from last year. They are doing Aladdin. It was really good last night and I am sure that they will do just as well tonight. My friend Austin is Aladdin, I am very proud of him. He did a fantastic job!<br /><br />American Idol...<br />Well i was very <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">disappointed</span> when Michel Johns left...<br />I do not really care for any of the girls, Brooke White is really good, but I do not vote for her.<br />I LOVE JASON, AND DAVID COOK, AND DAVIN A. <br />I think that they should be the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">remaining</span> three... then <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">idk</span> out of those I like better, I will choose when it gets to that point but for now i need all of you to be voting for them! Because they all <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">deserve</span> this.<br /><br />Big Brother...<br />NATALIE IS GONE!!!! HOORAY!!!!! I could not stand her.... <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">jeeze</span>. and the whole thing about what she said about <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">Sheila</span> ... how rude! I don't really like <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">Sheila</span> but still. I have no clue who I want to win... because I loved James <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">Chelsia</span> and Joshua. <br /><br />Check out my new videos that I posted at the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">bottom</span> of this page!<br /><br />Well... I think that is about all for now.<br /><br />I will try to post something amazing as soon as i can.<br /><br />thanks for reading. =]<br /><br />~<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">stephanie</span> joyStephanie Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13458822554606570032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177557184341791517.post-90226025235263119712008-04-10T14:59:00.001-07:002008-04-10T15:01:38.377-07:00Better Picture of James.so it isn't the best picture of him. but this is James all alone <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">because</span> all of his friends left him.<br />I posted this picture so you all could see his <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Mohawk</span> really is pink.<br />well by for now.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4aT2NmF-ZyXTycccrpfgBlmWe9OvWOLVmAlaXlgIOybEPHnW-qijgLEPUFC769teDZUeaiXPRv2_mkHDH2wO7wEpMlh3Y7DieCYhd0RSCA-vNUQ74JeYqTpIFz6o1jwBCsJlWSI1Vxus/s1600-h/james2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187739822772444802" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4aT2NmF-ZyXTycccrpfgBlmWe9OvWOLVmAlaXlgIOybEPHnW-qijgLEPUFC769teDZUeaiXPRv2_mkHDH2wO7wEpMlh3Y7DieCYhd0RSCA-vNUQ74JeYqTpIFz6o1jwBCsJlWSI1Vxus/s320/james2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />~<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">stephanie</span> joyStephanie Joyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13458822554606570032noreply@blogger.com0
