Monday

Update on last night:

I did go to Date Night (thanks Kristie!). It was actually a lot of fun, despite the fact that there were 16 girls and only 4 guys other than the 3 guys running it. My "date" was a friend (sort-of, I'll talk about that another time...). We were all split up into three groups and rotated to the different stations. I was in group 1. We went to the "Do's and Don'ts of Dating Station" run by Curt at which we made a list of (*gasp*) the do's and don'ts of dating-shocking, right? I know this all sounds extremely juvinile/boring, but it was one of those things where you had to be there to understand. Then we went to the Dancing Station run by KK. After some advice (provided by le Internet), and a demonstration by KK and Aidan (both guys, so funny...) we proceeded to do the Fox Trot, albeit very poorly.  It was slightly (read: incredibly) awkward, as most of us were paired with the same gender. I of course had to be the "guy" because my friend is too insecure. Baisically, no one danced very long- except for Hope. Hope is definitley a character... you really can't describe her- she's entirely unique, but not in an awkward loser type way (if this isn't making sense, or is sounding insulting, I apologize-but as I said, its imposible to describe Hope). So she kept dancing, which was hilarious. After that, we went to the final station. It was a play off some game show (I think it was called Dateline or something...) run by Cooper. Quick explanation: one guy sat in the front, with his back facing us. All of the girls sat in a row of chairs behind him, numbered (ex. I was Girl #8). Cooper asked a question, and the girls went down the row answering it. At the end, the guy had to choose the girl he was going to "date".  So, Jazz was the guy and Aidan had to be a "girl" since we had two guys in our group  - very amusing. The questions were generic ones like "What would your perfect date be?" or random ones like "What is your typical order at McDonald's?" or "If you were trapped on a desert island with your boyfriend, would you eat him or let him eat you?" (fyi, I believe I would solve such an issue by a. fishing or b. walking into the ocean to drown together). After this, we all went back to the youth room for info about next weeks meeting and Work Tour payments and then left. Date Night was not what I expected, but it was definitely fun.

As for today?

No school for President's Day! Thank goodness. I can't wait for this year to be over.

Speaking of which, I officially have a summer job! I'll be working at a diner/ice cream parlor in northern Wisconsin, which will be amazing.

Anyways, today I slept until noon and then went to Sheila's around one. We watched Batman Begins, which I had never seen. It was very epic. Unfortunately, we had to skip through parts of it so we could see the end before I had to leave.

From four to six I went to volunteer, as per usual (Note: I volunteer at a Resale Shop twice every week on Mondays and Thursdays). It was very uneventful. I sat and read Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey. It was recommended by someone I met on Mystery Google. I'm not sure if it's really worth reading, but I'm going to finish it anyway.

Oh, and its snowing again. Not much, just enough to look like silver glitter floating against the dark sky..ugh that sounded horribly poetic, but thats what is looks like, and I love it.

Currently? I'm posting this (hahaha... I know thats not funny, I hate when people say stuff like that). Really? I'm on conjuguemos.com studying for a spanish vocab quiz. I love spanish, but we need to learn practical vocab. NOT los guineitos en escabeche (small green bananas in garlic vinegar, red pepper and oil) or pilotar un avioneta (to fly a single-engine plane). Whatever...
