a few days

well.. it's been a while since i blogged, therefore i'm going to give you the day by day analysis.

wednesday
got up around 8:30. my mom and i drove to barron. (actually, i drove the whole way there and back, so anytime it says we drove, it was really me.) we went to my grandparents house. we talked with them for a while.. it was soo hot in their house. it was at least 84 degrees at all times in there. they had a thermometer thing, it wasn't me making up that number. then we went to some people's house and saw some puppies. we are going to get one! we go back to barron in a week from tomorrow and we are going to pick one then. they are a mix of lab and golden retriever. after that we went to my aunt and uncle's house and saw my aunt and cousin. we talked/played for a while. he is six or seven. then we went out to eat at a place called bona casa. it is a local restaurant. it's the best food i've ever eaten! then back to grandparent's house for the night. we got a phone call from my dad. michael's pet snake, Bill, died. he went in to take a picture of him and he didn't move. he found out he was dead. he's really upset. he cried for a long time and broke down again when we got home. they buried him in our back yard. i'm sure it's hard for you to be sympathetic about a snake dying, but it was his favorite pet. he had him for almost 5 years! and he's only 10, so basically half his life he had him and now he doesn't. :(

thursday
we got up early and drove to st. paul, mn. we had to be at northwestern at 10:30. we got there at 9:30. so, we had an hour to kill. we sat down on a bench in the main hall of where we had to be. my mom painted her toenails while we sat there. it was funny. we decided to go register early. it was supposed to be from 10:30 to 10:45. we went over there and it took about 30 sec. all they did is highlight my name and give me a nametag. then we went into the room where we had to be next. we sat down at our own table. (first ones there that way we didn't have to pick who to sit with) a girl and her mom, and a boy and his mom sat with us. the girl was really weird.. she's going into art.. go figure. the boy was pretty cool. he didn't know what he wanted to be yet. the people in the front talked for a while. then we had to go get the sack lunches that we got from them, but when we sat back down it had to be all student tables and all adult tables. i got to know a few people there. after the session i got my photo id picture taken. when i sat down to have it taken, the guy's computer screen went red. i thought i broke the camera for a min. but my picture turned out really well. we had a little break and then got my class schedule set up. no tuesday classes, baby! i love college. then my mom and i went to a mall. we walked around a little bit and ate some chinese. then we drove all the way home. we had a family campfire and roasted marshmallows and had s'mores. i did my devos then went to bed.

friday
i woke up to michael jumping on me trying to wake me up. finally i gave in. then we went to a bakery and got a donut to eat. it was good. we went to the library and got some books on dogs, since we don't really know how to take care of them. then we went to the bank, and i opened up a bank account. i feel like a big boy now. then back home and cleaning for two awesome friends to come tomorrow!
