Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yes, you can duel a house member, it just doesn't count on the tallies(sp?), for wins and loses. I have to get over this slump and back to working on the Dueling Club. Between birthdays, holidays, homework, family issues, and looking for a seasonal job, I am having to let the internet go some what.

To Grey:
I feel your pain about the home work thing. My teacher currently has given me zeros in six homework assignment for having a single mistake, be it grammar or what not, and she lets others with the same problem slide. gonk I can't fail this class. Luck me though they have the redo allowance. But only for two and there are some that are freebie redoes. If I get a C I'm good to go. I am so close to finishing college. I'm glaring it in the face. All I have to do is jump this hurdle.

*And hugs back.* You guys are awesome.

Oh wow, and I thought I was in bad shape. I'm struggling through my human development and history classes the best I can and I'm not getting zero's for stupid stuff. I'm sure you'll make it though Katie. As for me and Michael, he dumped me again. Oh well, I'm over it. He asked me to be his girlfriend again today and I told him I couldn't.

Sorry I haven't been on much guys, I've been busy with school, Michael, and the cross between Marine and Army training. I thought I was going to have to do pushups for the Master Sergeant today because we were in class and I had a question. I was bouncing in my chair with my arm in the air like Hermione when she knows the answer to a question. Except instead of "I know, I know, I know." I was saying "Hey, hey, you, you." I got his attention and I thought he was going to make me do pushups. After class I apologized and he said "I almost made you do pushups." I told him that I thought he was going to. He just shook his head and said that if I hadn't been in the freshman class I would have done pushups for it.

So we have a fitness test tomorrow. Because of my ankle I haven't run much in 3 weeks, and my ankle is still sore because of the times I've been stubborn and tried to run. We have to pass it tomorrow or we lose points off our grade. It sucks because I have to run 2 miles in just under 19 minutes. With this ankle I can't run very well so I know I'll fail there, and I'll lose 33 points off my grade. We also have to do 53 situps in 2 minutes. I'm not sure if I've gotten to that point yet or not so I'll probably lose 33 points off that one as well. I'm pretty sure I can do the 19 pushups in 2 minutes, but even that is iffy as of late. So it totally sucks. I could wind up with 33/100 and that's if I manage the pushups.

Thanks Katie, I went to ask the Master Sergeant if he wanted me running on it or not and before I even spoke he invited me to have a seat in his office. I didn't like the sound of it then, and then he left for a moment and returned with the Luitenant. I asked him if he wanted me running and he asked about my ankle. I told him it had been sore since sprints on Monday and he said not to worry about it. I then got up to leave and as I had feared from when he told me to take a seat he said I wasn't done yet. He then went on to reprimand me for being disrespectful yesterday in class and to tell me how close he had come to coming over the desk and killing me. I just know he hates me now and it's because I was stupid. I hadn't meant to be disrespectful, I just wasn't thinking. I tend to do that a lot.

Well he didn't seem too angry during lab today. I just did the sit ups and push ups. He didn't make me run because of my ankle and I did really good on the push ups and the sit ups.

Ummm. Hi Minerva. *Blinks* Yeah I guess I really did miss a lot. I'm sorry about the whole les thing. My sister made my dad mad when she told us she was one, and now I'm going through long lectures about opposing gay marriage from my uncle. It sucks because I believe it's their choice. *Shrugs* Oh well, have a hug anyways. Minerva mentioning that not many talk in the Great Hall shows just how behind I am. I should probably get over there more.

Oh, and I just realized that I need to be promoted to a 4th year. Yay me.

I'm going to a town south of where I am so I can spend Thanksgiving with my Aunt and Uncle, their two boys, and my sister who have been in California while I'm in Utah. My mom is coming down from Salt Lake as well so it will be the 7 of us in a 3 bed room condo. eek Oh well, at least it's better than the 11 kids, 5 adults, and 4 dogs we had in the same condo in July. I guess the hardest part will be tuning out my uncles lectures about being against gays and him, my aunt, and my grandma yelling about how Obama is president. I'm not too happy about it either, but he's now my boss so I don't really have much say.

Hahahaha nice Gerp. I have the College one that I probably won't go to, the Church one next Monday, and then the Thanksgiving dinner with my Aunt, her Husband, their two kids, and my mom. It's an even digit year so we usually have Thanksgiving at my Grandmothers but I'm about 4 hours away so my aunt and her family is coming from California and I'll eat with them. Last year I went to Idaho and spent Thanskgiving with my boyfriends mother. It was fun but I was sick and we had to fly. I hate flying and it's even worse when you're sick. The only reason I went was because his mother had already paid for the tickets and I couldn't be rude. I also couldn't sleep in because my body was used to being up at 5:30 for class. Black Friday I tried to sleep in and I was succeeding until his mother came in and woke me saying we had to leave so we could shop without getting stuck in all sorts of lines. I wanted to kill her but I couldn't because she was buying everything.
