Tomorrow Will Be Good

By Jamin Greensbury at 12/20/07 15:23

Seeing how tomorrow is the last day of school before Christmas Vacation, how can it not be good? I won't be doing anything in any of my classes, except for Calculus. It will be movie, party, party, volleyball, Mario Kart, and party all day long. Plus if I have a study hall, I'll just go down to our gym and play some volleyball, hence why I mentioned volleyball.

I also convinced my English teacher to watch Thundercats tomorrow. For those of you that don't know what that is, let me tell you its the greatest cartoon ever. Anywho, I'll be watching that in two of my classes. One being English, like I said, and the other being in my study hall, in which I'll just walk into that English class again. I'm still working on watching it in other classes.

The only hard thing about tomorrow is that I'll have a Calculus quiz. Isn't a rule that teachers should not do anything before Christmas vacation? Oh well. After that everyone will head home to celebrate the two week break.

Toys Just Get Better and Better

Remember the good old days of getting simple toys for Christmas? Simple is no longer a word in today's world. Some of these toys are just so complex. But there's really nothing wrong with that. Many of the toys that come out are freakin' sweet! Many times I catch myself saying, "I wish I had that as a kid." I would buy some of those toys for myself, but that would be kind of weird. I just wouldn't get the same fun factor out of them, or would I?

I remember getting so excited when I got the Lego set I wanted. I'd play with it for hours on end and not get bored. But the one gift that always eluded me was any of the Lego castle sets. That was always the one thing I wanted, but never got. Now I keep seeing that the castles just keep getting better and better. Even my own mother acknowledges the fact I wanted a Lego castle set. But she always thought they were too expensive (which they were). I just know when I have a son, he will be doused with Legos.

Like I said before, toys just keep getting better. The child within me is just burning to play with them.

My Weekend Agenda: What Actually Happened

Well, things don't always go as they seem. On Friday, I didn't go and see "I Am Legend". Why? I realized it wasn't worth it. Actually it is, but not on opening night. There would be no way that I would get a ticket, and even if I did, my seat would be horrible. So I went over to my girlfriend's house and ate dinner there. Afterwards, I went home, ate more food, then went to sleep.

Half of Saturday panned out like it should have. The Christmas party at my house went better than I thought it would. Instead of a shirt that isn't my size or even something I would actually wear, I got a gift card to Wal-Mart. Even though a gift card is a one time thing, I'm still going to get more use out of it than the shirt I usually get. After the party a vicious snow storm came my way. I was supposed to have people out to my house, but that didn't go as planned. Only two of my friends came, and they ended up getting snowed in. So the three of us had a Christmas Dance at my house. Our dance consisted of eating, watching movies with my parents and then playing Sorry at midnight. Anyway, the school dance was cancelled, so it worked out in the end.

Sunday, I had no idea what I was going to do. What I did, I must keep confidential. It was the greatest adventure I had ever had, and that's what I'll keep it at. Maybe I'll tell the story some other time.

Christmas Gift Excitment

I got my first true taste on what Guitar Hero III is like today. With the 8 periods of the day in school, I played it in our yearbook room for 7 of them. How you ask? There were two field trips today, and I was one neither of them. So that meant that hardly anyone were in my classes today. Anyway, I became addicted to the game. You get so addicted because when you start thinking about putting it down for the night, it consumes you. But what's wrong with that? It could be the most fun I've had in awhile.

But now I can't be so sure I'll get it for Christmas. I have a Wii, and all the versions of Guitar Hero III were recalled because of a sound problem (which is critical because the game boasts so many different songs. It just wouldn't be the same if I was just tapping buttons with no sound.). Anyway I hope all goes well and its under my Christmas tree this year.
