Okay lots has been going on. First off, I realize I did not go into full detail about AFTER the track meet in state.
So this is the tale of sad and lonely desperate girl. When she was 7 years old, her family took her to Vegas for the first time. The lights and structures were amazing. And the pirate show was fantastic and at the end of the day, her parents decided to take her to the Star Trek Experience in the Hilton. The family happened to get there just a little too late though. They got up to where the Star Trek stuff was only to find it all closed down. They could still go around and look at the stuff though, so they did but soon after left. They didn't stay the next day in Vegas, they left back for home. The little girl pleaded her father to go back to the Star Trek Experience before they left, but he insisted that they go home now and that it will surely be there next year when they return.
Well life took it's course and things got hectic and the girl didn't return to Vegas again until she was 15 for a state track meet. The meet ran kind of late and her father had gone to watch her. Once the meet was over, he told her that they were going to the Star Trek Experience. The little girl was so excited and not only did she break 3 state records, she was going to finally see the Star Trek Experience. They kind of got lost in Vegas though and by the time her father found the Hilton, it was yet again, too late. Just like when she was 7 years old, they viewed all the closed down stuff and left. Her father refused to stay another day. He said that they will be back and they'll do it next time. It will still be there.
So once again, another state track meet in Vegas. The girl was now 17 years old. She once again achieved 2 state records and 3 gold medals and one silver. She was beaming with pride and her excitement only grew when she had enough time to go to the Star Trek Experience. Her father started the car and they were off. They got to the Hilton around 7 pm. Perfect timing to do all the fun stuff. They entered the Hilton and began their trek. The girl realized that they were eventually getting lost and that it was much harder to find the Star Trek exhibit than last time. They stopped by and asked some people working in the casino where the exhibit was. The man and woman laughed. "They took that out in September!" "Yeah it hasn't been here for almost a whole year."
The little girl's eyes welled up with tears and she fell to the ground sobbing. Embarrassed and pissed she ran out of the Hotel speechless. Her father tried to cheer her up, but it did no good. In a pitiful, yet slightly effective attempt, he took her to Burger King and completed her Star Trek Glass Collection. Sadly that girl will never know the joys of the Star Trek Experience at the Hilton now.
Now on another note, I was invited to come to a regional track competition in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It costs a lot of money to get there and to compete. I've been raising money by donations and what not. I have about 500 now. I've been practicing with Newland daily. He's worried though because he doesn't want rumors starting. One thing Battle Mountain is good at is starting rumors. If a female student spent time by herself with a male teacher, that automatically means she's seeing him in a sexual way right? Gawd, how I hate society. No... he is my track coach. I need his coaching. He was going to go to New Mexico with me, but Mr. Campbell (our principal) said absolutely not. I hate how a girl can't hang out with ANY guy without being suspected of a sexual relationship. It is truly quite annoying. So my father and Mr. Newland may go with me, which I have nothing against. I didn't know I could bring both of them otherwise I would have gone with that in the first place. So this is all a difficult subject right now.
Then because of thise and some other summer plans, I tried to quit my job (again). As I prepped myself to talk to my boss, I got to work and it was all closed up. Which was odd because it was 3pm on a weekday. So I unlocked the doors and began to work. Eventually Angie called and explained to me that her mother (my other boss) had become very ill and is currently having open heart surgery.
1) That's terrible and I hope Grandma (Linda) gets better.
2) WTF?! How come every time I try to quit my job something like this happens.
Angie told me she was super stressed and just couldn't deal with anything going on at the store right now. So frustrating.
School's almost out, that means finals up the butt. I've already taken my science final. I have no idea what I got on that. I took my math final and got a freaking F! I'm the only one in that class that understood what the hell we were doing. I still have to take my History Final and my Drama final.
My artistic journaling final. Hehe. This is hilarious. Okay so I've been working on this book for quite some time. Our final was to make a book. It could be a "how to" book, a children's picture book, or anything really. It just had to consist of 10 pages, 5 illustrations, and some other details here and there. Well I wrote a zombie book, yeah, big surprise. It's quite an epic tale, I need to post it on the internet sometime, but anyways, I binded it all together and all the pictures were drawn and it was complete. I was going to go home and finish it off by spraying fake blood on the cover. The next day I got to school and it wasn't until 2nd period (chemistry) that I realized I'd forgotten to spray the fake blood on my book! Since we had all taken our finals and there wasn't much to really do, we were just screwing around and nobody was really paying attention to anything really. So I looked for a sharp object and eventually a girl who has a Quilting handed me a needle. I thanked her and pricked my finger. It took me a while to get blood to bubble, but eventually I did and I dripped a few drops on my book. My friend Megan was just laughing at me and she even helped blow my blood on the paper to make it look splattered. A lot of my friends found it really cool, some found me to be completely insane, but it's okay. I told them all not to mention it to Mrs. Paull incase she doesn't accept my book.
So third period rolled around and that was Artistic Journaling. My friend Crista looks and acts like Gaz, and she gave me her yearbook to sign. So I went to the computer to find an image of Gaz to draw in Crista's Yearbook. While I was on the computer, Jennifer asked me if she wanted me to turn in my book with hers. I said go for it and she turned it in to Mrs. Paull. Mrs. Paull took my book and jokingly looked at Jennifer and said, "Is that real?" and chuckled.
Jennifer got all nervous and looked at me and said "Mackenzie! She asked the one question you told me not to answer!"
Mrs. Paull's face got serious and she looked at me. "Is it?"
and I was like "I FORGOT TO USE MY SPRAY BLOOD AND I HAD NO OTHER RESOURCES AT SCHOOL!"
Mrs. Paull's face made a face I'll never forget. She gave a hysterical laugh and said "I've never had this happen before. I don't know how to react. Way to put yourself into your art." and she accepted it.
I have no idea what grade I'm going to get on the book, but hey, I found it to be a pretty cool and unique idea.
Only 2 more days until Sims 3 comes out. I'm so excited.
And uh... I think that's all my exciting news.
Time for sleep!
