Last School Day Of 2010:)

So today being the last day of the school year before break, DaVinci always has a service day. My advisory and Borup's adv. went to the old folks home for veterans. We arrived at the bus stop half an hour before it was supposed to come because we got mixed up with the times.
So we all gathered by the gas station away from the wind, because it was freezing outside. So we waited about half an hour, and one of the guys in our group brought a guitar so we were entertained by him singing us songs. Don't you just love our school? haha and after a while we went inside the gas station so warm up. And FINALLY the bus came.
So when we arrived we went into a part of the building where they were all sitting out in the lobby place of the hallway. So what we did was entertain them with music,and singing. The guy with the guitar sang and played songs, and they brought in the piano and I played some songs. It turned out to be pretty good.
On Wednesday for young womans we went to lights at willard bay. it was extremely cold so ayla gave me her coat(she is a human heater). I also had to type up my story that night so I wanted to go home.
Thursday night was my band concert. I played with the beg. band(which is my class) and also the advanced band. I'd say we all did pretty good, but when I played with the adv. band I was sorta lost in a song because I was only able to practice two or three times with them.
That day I also presented a story that we were assigned to write for enlish. I had no idea what to write, so I had Jaymee help me come up with an idea. It turned out better than I had expected. We read it to the class, and they actually liked it.
Today was my seminary teacher's last day, because they're switching him out; everyone will miss him.

*monday*

Sometimes I wake up thinking, "what am i going to wear today?" But instead it's usually, "What collared shirt am i going to wear today?", and then I have a dilemma of what collared shirt that will be...

December 1st

On Wednesday, my publications class decided to all wear our newspaper t-shirts. we all looked pretty snazzy. So tonight, we are having a yearbook night, which starts at eight. And we will be staying the night at the school. We will have pizza, and snacks and all that stuff there too. It will be really fun, and we've never had a yearbook night where we stayed the night at the school:)
Hopefully Gabby comes back to DaVinci soon again because everyone misses her and it isn't the same without her here.
Today in Honors English, we took a little walk around the block. So, to make this walk mean something to Jonesinski, he "related it to the story we are reading, 'The woman with the toy dog'. In the story there is this guy who cheats on his wife with different woman, and seems to take notice to everyone who walks by on the street. So every person we passed we stared at them, and he told us to think about what kind of life they might have. This was really funny because there are some weird people out there, and as they walked by i just stared at them.
On Wednesday for young womans, we helped make christmas decorations for the ward christmas party. Then when we got bored
with it we went into the hall and sat down.

it snowed!

it finally snowed on friday.....
so here is a picture of Megan outside walking in the snow today.

Publication's Class Adventure!!! a.k.a Hi, we're DaVinci; we check you out!

today my publications class went to a newspaper workshop that we go to every year at the u of u in slc. we took the frontrunner at 645 so i had to be up at 4 and barely made it to the train, where i met up with everyone and got my newspaper t-shirt that we finally decided to get. they turned out to be a little small for everyone (they were babydolls) so they tried to stretch them out a little, which actually worked and stretched out more once they put them on. jaymee said she looked like a 17 yr old who got 7boob jobs, and it was true. her shirt was a large, which she needed an xl. when we got to slc we transfered to the trax where we got off and walked to the university and went to four workshops starting at 830 which were 50 minutes each. the workshops i went to were about photojournalism. then we got free provided lunch, which consisted of subs, cookies, chips, apples, and soda. it was pretty good. then we took pictures of all of us in our t-shirts which turned out pretty good. it was over at 130 and then we made it to the trax around 200 and managed to make the 227 train to ogden; and managed to get the doors of the train hit my arms as i hurried on:/
it turned out to be really fun, and we had so many laughing moments/memories.

thursday

so today was actually really fun. me jaymee and jessica had soo many moments. we laughed so much. and we took so many pictures too. during forth period jaymee came and got me out of 4th period geometry and went down to the odgen river for a photo shoot for her photography class assignment. the props were three pink flowers and a red balloon.

Buts and Colons: The Complete Guide To English Anatomy
This is what my 5th period honors english randomly came up with. we have the craziest things going on in that class. they just make me laugh...oh and there's only 8 students in that class.

Here's something i wrote for my photo column, Picture This, for Newspaper

Your childhood starts from your first steps, maybe even your first breath. From shimmering high tops, to rubber dinosaurs; yet sharing your pink tricycle isn't at all on a two year olds mind. Your whole world seems to crumble when you see your friend from down the street jump on and peddle away on your tricycle you got from Wal Mart that your parents bought you because your often spoiled from being the youngest of four.

But today is your second birthday, the day your whole family's been planning for for the last few weeks. It's nothing like your first birthday- a small family party where you get a whole piece of cake to yourself and all the attention is on you. The second party is where you invite a few of your friends that live down the street, and even your close cousins. You even have a pinate filled with the type of candy the stores have during Halloween. You have such excitement when you get to hit it with a stick from the apple tree, after you find out that there's candy inside, one of your favorite things in the whole world besides popsicles.

Mondaysss

Everyone always blames their laziness and absent-mindedness on Mondays. I don't see how you can blame a day of the week for your faults.

the riddle

There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him
"Wait, what's the sense in life?
Come over me, Come over me"

He said, "Son why you got to sing that tune?
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon?
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then you will see, you will see"

Then he said, "Here's a riddle for you
Find the answer: There's a reason for the world
You and I"

Picked up my kid from school today
"Did you learn anything? Cause in the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to me"

He said, "Dad I'm big, but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
So play with me, come play with me"

"And hey Dad, here's a riddle for you
Find the answer: There's a reason for the world
You and I"

I said, "Son for all I've told you
When you get right down to the
Reason for the world who am I?"

There are secrets that we still have left to find
There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
There are answers we're not wise enough to see
He said, "You looking for a clue? I love you free"

The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is hiding over me
Something comes over me

I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it man you know we got it all
'Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free, I love you freely

Here's a riddle for you
Find the answer: There's a reason for the world
You and I

homecoming pics

new stuff...?

so i decided im going to homecoming. any way i dont really have choice since jessica says she'll kill me if i don't come. anyway, it should be fun. right now im typing up a how to article for the newspaper. it's about how to make a friendship. it was due yesturday so i have to get it in tonight so i don't go to friday school.
tonight im going to young womans, and we're going actual rock climbing. it should be fun.
and if i didnt already mention, on friday stacy stabbed me in the face w/ a chopstick. it left a mark...and was really close to getting my eye. and btw, stacys mom said to give her grief for getting a c in health, so here it goes. STACY YOU SUCK!!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE A STRAIGHT A STUDENT?? so yeah:)

adventures

so this friday me and gabby and stacy went to ben lomonds homecoming game. it wasnt that great because they aren't so goo, but it was fun hanging out with them. the week before me, stacy, and jaden went to the iron horse game at ogden high. ben lomond lost: 12-7, i believe. to me it was funny when they lost. at least they actually scored this game. last year they didnt score at all. that day, stacy's dad took us out for pizza at the pizza factory in the junction. the game cost $8 for me and stacy to get in, two dollars less then i expected.
some thursdays before, me and gabby took the train to layton to see our friend play his football games for northridge. we get home about 8 if we leave on time.
this friday is homecoming, and im considering going, but im not sure.
for yearbook, i am assigned as the assistant photographer, and my beat in the newspaper is 'picture this...'. i take a picture and write an article about the picture, or something like that. so yeah

upcoming adventures :)

so on tuesday at 4 am we are leaving to go to the airport to leave for west virginia to visit my grandparents for 13 days. and to celebrate their 50th anniversary. our plane leaves at 7 and we leave on the 4th of july. it's exciting and it'll be fun. and i also got gold flats to have for the trip. (cuz 50 yrs is golden. you get it?) ya.
and i just got back from a week of camp on saturday and it was soo fun:) there was only 63 people there so the there werent many people as im used to at camp. i had a lot of fun and got burned at the lake on my back. i tried to fix my farmer's tan but it didnt work out as i wanted it lol.

end of school

so tuesday is the last day of school. im sad but excited for the break cuz ive got fun things planned this summer.
Friday we got the yearbook and it is reaally cool. we spent so much hard work on it and it finally paid off. i spent all day signing and having people sign it. probably my favorite part is the ending page, cuz it basically explains all us davincians and what we left behind to come to this school,and what we achieved by coming here, and how davinci will never leave us and be apart of us forever. it was really deep. the only thing wrong with it is that the company put in a world beat in after that and kinda ruined the mood. they didnt even ask us if we wanted that cuz it didnt even match the whole consistancy.
On saturday i went to the spectacular practice at weber hight for four hours and i got to see my friend jaden cuz i finally got him to come. which was a big accomplishment lol. the only thing bad about it was that ayla wasnt there and i got sunburned on my face and my arms! and so did a lot of people. i didnt even think about putting on sunscrean cuz the last time it was cold and it hailed on us.
So thats it for now:)

ffrreezziinngg

so yesturday i went to a soccer game with jessica. it was between ogden and ben lomond. ogden won 2 to 0. anyway it was FREEZING!! and it started to snow a little too. by the time the game was over at 5 i couldn't feel my feet and we finally made it to dollar general and we warmed up. jessica had five dollars so she bought me some dorritos and me and her sister some twix bars. they were good. i wish jaymee could have been there. it would have been more fun with her there and i wouldn't have been the only white girl there.

..............

so today it snowed/rained. i didn't expect that when i left this morning. on friday me and my friends are going to the movies. we are going to see when in rome. it'll be fun.
today me, jaymee and jessica ate lunch with me so we can get some teacher quotes. i skipped advisory to do it.
so yesterday me, jaymee and jessica ate lunch with cheryl, chelsee, and becca. when sam walked by us jaymee said "hi sam!" but dallas turned around instead. we all started laughing. you just had to be there.
almost everyday me and cheryl take pics of us in fifth. it's the only class we have together.

what happened so far this week

so on friday went to the valentines dance with stacy. later jaymee came. it was pretty fun. first it was kinda boring but then it got better. i left at ten to take stacy home.
today we practiced for the youth spectacular. we covered a lot. this dance is a little harder to remember because it has more moves.
this friday i'm going to the movies with jaymee and jessica. it'll be fun.

union station night...

ok. so today was a pretty good day. In third we were watching a video about soil. And the video paused and the guy who was speaking looked weird when it paused Jackie said "he looks like he's pooping!" and the whole class started laughing. I will never forget this one or the buffalo one. Another weird thing happened today in the same class. Mr. Hellstern was talking about the video and he said "I know this video isn't sexy....." yeah. that kinda creeped me out. He said it seriously too. He wasn't joking. He's one of those people who when they say something like that, really creeps you out...
Last night i went to a jazz performance at the Union Station. It was pretty cool. Afterwards me and ayla took a pic of me on her back in front of the big black train there. It was fun. Tomorrow i'm going to the valentine dance. I hope stacy can come. I'll have to call her tonight.
Don't you ever feel your phone vibrating even when it's not, especially when it's not even in your pocket?

so... today at school i had to watch boring movies in my science classes, and Jaymee was gone for publications class. besides that it was a pretty good day. yep. lunch didn't look too good so i didn't eat it and one of the servers(if you know who i'm talking about) was really mean(like always). publications was fun. basically all we did was talk about our past and how we all basically went to the same school and the "funny" things that went on there. haha. since i have my science teacher for three periods, and we have a sub, all i did was go on my phone and go on Facebook and stuff and text. and yesterday the sub brought us popcorn because she felt sorry because we have to watch a movie every day he's gone(and he has 5 big drawers stuffed full of videos. that's crazy). and tomorrow i have to present my health poster. :|
