Seabrook: Take 2

Last week went pretty well. I came close to being found out (skipping monday) a couple of times, but it seems to have blown over now. All I really need to look forward to is pr0m and the merit badge work that I will soon be getting back to. Basically it was three conflicting stories: My mom thought I had just slept through band since it wasn't taking attendance, then I went to class afterwards. The school thought I wasn't there, and that I had not turned in a field trip form, which was true. Mr. Hendrix thought I was on a field trip, but found out that I wasn't, but luckily, I know some very nice people in music theory (thanks to all of them) that said I was definately at Victoria. It was nice of them to do it and I must thank them again for covering for me.

Tuesday:
I got back into the daily grind going to all my classes. It was quite boring. In the afternoon, I had to take the truck in again to Les Schwab for some fixing. It turned out that it actually was the alternator all along, so we went to the truck's mechanic, John and he fixed it up in a day and it runs great now.

Wednesday:
This was the day I found out about Mr. Hendrix's discovery. I also learned that the people in the class had vouched for me. Music Theory was a bit awkward until we quieted down for our test.

Thursday:
I got to school to see Jack. Humanities went well because it was a planning day and Jack just hung out in our group. I left the class a little early to go meet with the counselor at the UW for advice on how to get in after only 3 quarters of SCC because I really don't want to be there a second longer than I absolutely have to. Basically, I can stand a really good chance of getting in if my GPA in college is 3.4 or higher. If I manage to get a 4.0, I might as well be let in then and there. I am definately going to give up some things for college and I am going to work my butt off until I am in the UW (not to say I won't work at the UW, I will do that too). I came back to school for 6th period and we watched 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was terrible for the first 20 minutes because it was just screaming monkeys fighting. After that, it actually gets pretty cool. After school, Orion and I took Davis and Jack along while we got tuxes. Orion and I got ones, but Davis decided his money would be better spent on a book of piano sheet music. After that, I picked up the truck from my Grandpa. After that, we went to Maddy's house for a party that was so-so. I'm not much on hang out parties. We watched Jim Gaffigan though and he was good as usual.

Friday:
We got on the road at about 10:00 and drove straight to Aberdeen, where we stopped for lunch at Subway, then kept going to Ocean Shores for some groceries. After that, we went to Seabrook and hung out for a while, doing some shuffleboard before going to the beach at around 8:30 for some frisbee.

Saturday:
I made pancakes and then we ate and left the house around 12:00 for some beach frisbee again. We saw cool kites and walked down the beach to Pacific Beach to see them. We tried to ford a river, but wound up having to take our shoes off. After that, we went into Ocean Shores for some billiards and some Big Buck Hunter. That night, we watched the Big Lebowski, then made smores, then peed on the fire.

Sunday:
I made pancakes again and we hung around a bit before going to the beach where we met an ultimate player from Western. After that, we went back and packed up. The ride home was mostly perfect. I almost killed us at one point, but I did manage to get us home in great time. We stopped at Taco Bell for dinner in West Olympia and Davis and I accidentally ordered 5 extra things beyond our grande meal. Actually, you know what? It was the cashier's fault. This was the conversation:
Guy: How do you want the meal divided?
Me: Uh five hard tacos and...
Davis: 2 hard tacos and 3 burritos
Somehow we wound up with 7 tacos, 4 bean burritos, and 4 supreme burritos. The rest of the way home was very quick moving traffic. After that, I played some Guild Wars.

Monday:
I did my homework after some good vg playing and some serious room cleaning and some going to grandpa's house for dinner. While we were there, he told me he was finally planning on getting rid of all his junk, so this summer I am going to be helping him. I guess he tells me stuff like this first because I always help him collect/store it. Regardless, this means that I will A: Get some good old stuff and B: Get to make many trips to the dump. It's win win for me.

I will post about today in my next post. I will try to post some pictures as well of Seabrook. Rachel gets in on Friday, so I might post right before she gets here to split the week from the weekend. I'll try to get the pictures up before that, though there aren't many of them. Peace out.
