Today is really my first day living in Green Bay. I just got back from two weeks at CBH and before that was moving in madness. Two trucks. 12 tons of junk. What a mess. Anyways… the house itself is pretty good. I love my room. I don’t know if I can put photos up on here, but I’ll try. Maybe put photos of the house, lawn, school, uniform and other random stuff.
Speaking of school, I went to Notre Dame this morning to sign up with the IB head for classes. Notre Dame is not organized at all for transfer students. It drove me crazy. I registered two and a half weeks ago but they havn’t sent me anything, they havn’t gotten my transcript, they haven’t told us anything about parking, about uniforms, about class materials. It was pretty frustrating. But I signed up for some classes and met with my counselor Mr. Nicewonder. Pretty sure that’s not how it’s spelled but that’s how it sounds. He was nice and tried to help us get organized. There’s a new student orientation on Friday from 1 to 3. There’s about 10 transfer students someone told us. Hopefully my schedule will be all sorted out by then. There’s a bit of confusion with Spanish because they don’t really do levels so I need to talk to the Spanish teachers about where I belong.
I’ve just spent the rest of the day chilling. Watching olympics mostly. I’m such an olympics junky.
Trying to think of anything else to say. Coming up blank. I’m hoping that when school starts I’ll like it and classes will be much more organized than anything I’ve seen yet. One can only hope.
Oh, and one more thing about classes. Guess who gets to take three years of chemistry in high school? Me. Chemistry is the only IB science course they offer. So yeah, if I remember anything after this summer, I’ll dominate at least this first year in class. Woo chemistry. In a good and bad way.
So yeah. That’s pretty much it. Kayaking was amazing.
I’m going to continue relaxing. Later.

I was out tonight at the park and as I sat on the see saw I had some random memories pop up. These last couple of days and the next couple of weeks, Green Bay is always pretty close to the top of my mind. But as I was saying… random memories. So here are the memories I thought of now.
What first came to mind was the confirmation treat at Green Lake. Primarily when Matt tackled me. That was pretty hilarious. I think I’ll remember that for a long time. I’ll be bored at Notre Dame and think of that moment when time slowed down and I saw Matt running at me and then all of a sudden I was on the ground and everyone was laughing. Yeah, good times. Oh, another time at Green Lake when Ricky and I watched Matt climb the water tower. Or when Matt put chocolate sauce on everything. Including his bread. Why are all these stupid stories about Matt? Oh yeah, he’s kinda loco. Here’s a non Matt Green Lake story: Oliva fell in the lake. Or, or, Justin whispering “because that’s what God would do.” Okay, enough green lake stories.
Okay… what other stories. Gullible on the shoes. Locking Kate in a locker.
Okay. too tired and distracted to think of anything else. Contact me, perhaps with some random memories and we can reminisce.

On the off chance that anyone reads this tonight, please call me. I’m trying to figure out something to do tomorrow. Wii tourney, bike riding, anything… please. I’m bored out of my mind. I’ve had enough relaxing today and yesterday.
Oh, and I have a brilliant idea: six flags anytime soon? that would be amazing. Party on the coasters. It’d be a lot of fun. Wisconsin dells is also an option. Noah’s Ark specifically. Actually both sound fun. Let’s do both. Okay, it’s a plan.
See you guys tomorrow.

It’s official. The house in Middleton is pretty much sold. We just need to go through the contingencies. We got an offer and accepted it. All in all it’s pretty exciting. The buyers are going to be in the house on July 28, so my remaining days in Middleton are counting down. We’re going to Green Bay tomorrow (Monday) to look at houses so we can have somewhere to live when we have to leave.
That’s the only news. Just wanted to put it up.

I’m going to start by being upfront: this is not going to be a soppy ‘remember this, remember that’ kind of thing. This is a tool for contact. A tool to tell new stories, not old ones. If I do start to reminisce too much, somebody please write me a strongly worded comment.
Continuing: Today, June 15, 2008, marks the first day of summer vacation. On a sadder note, it also marks the day after my last day at Middleton High School. No longer shall I walk the noisy, crowded halls or make the trek to my third floor locker. Instead, I will be able to walk in the corridors of the forest and have homework from no teacher… and will stop waxing poetic. But my school free time is also a sad time, because the school that I am free from is Middleton. I won’t be going back to Middleton in the fall. I’ll be in Green Bay, school undecided. I’m sure my new school will be just as good as Middleton academically, but socially, it will be horrible. (Because none of you will be there). I’ll make new friends, but at the moment, I just want to focus on keeping these friends. You guys. Thus the blog.
It’s difficult to think of anything else to say about school. I just finished my finals yesterday (and kept the 4.0 thank goodness) and do not want to think about it anymore at the moment.
But actually, school was not bad. I was/am one of the nerds who enjoys it. My teachers were mostly great this year and I enjoyed most of my classes. I’ll miss my Honors English buddies in upper level courses and I’ll even miss Ms. Jensen and Honors Chemistry. (I can hear you all groaning, but I actually liked that class a lot.)
But for real, this is where my brain is stopping tonight.
