and everything starts today

Athens

I was looking at the UGA website today and just in general looking around. it had a link to a map of Athens, our old town. so I decided to look and see if i could find our old house. the first map showed Oconee County, but when i zoomed in, all i could see was Mars Hill Rd. I recognize the name but I don't remember where it was in respect to our house. Dad doesn't live in Athens, but in another town about an hour away. i wonder what it will be like to be living in that area again. i haven't kept in touch with my old friends like jason has. i did at the start, but i was too young to really have the means or the drive to find ways so it kinda slipped slowly away.

Schreiber is always telling us to try to get out away from this area if you can. that has always been my plan. i never really liked Kansas when we moved--it was a kind of rebelllion for me. if i didn't like the new place we were living in, then i wasn't completely rolling over for the whole thing. but now i don't have a choice of moving away from this town, i just have to. it's not that i wouldn't have anyway, it's just that now i won't have any ties back here when we move. and i won't ba able to spend my last summer before college with my friends. i'll be sucked into moving in right away. sure we have our friends there, but i don't really know them that well

since mom is in denver right now, that leaves me to be adopted for the week by any family that wants me. so i have at least three new moms--Vicki Jones, Tami Howland, and Nettie Gude. i'm sure i have more just looking out for me that i don't know about, but those are the main ones. when we move i've already been told by a couple of moms that they would love to have me if i wanted to stay a little extra time. theres a part of me that is the traveler and wants to get up and go right now, but no matter how much i deny it, i am a little attached to this place

school is random

i need a new post

so i'm in govt, and everyones supposed to take the preamble. i took it yesterday, it was easy. speech the other day completely sucked. i don't what it is, but i can tell a story about my family to people anytime, except when i'm up in front of a class. we are reading the Great Gatsby in AP English. i've read it before, and i thought it was good then, so i'm enjoying it. this week we read some crazy story about a woman whose husband is trying to make her go crazy and he eventually succeeds. She starts ripping the wallpaper off the walls because she thinks she sees a woman in the walls. anyway, our new science teacher is really weird. i don't think shes a very good teacher, our physics class never pays attention, but she keeps on talking...

the soap scrimage is tonight, i didn't even think about it, but i'll probably have to be there, i've got a haircut after school, and then i was going to go grocery shopping with my mom, but i don't know if i'll be able to. anyway, i need to work on this big english project this weekend before she leaves (lucky, she gets to see dad for a whole week).
