Okay, let's all say "WHAT?!?!?!" on the count of three now...

You saw my last post didn't you? (If not go look at the pictures!) You saw Ivy and I in the picture, right? You saw us wearing short sleeve shirts, and Ivy was wearing capris! You saw the green out the window, the sun streaming through, all of that!

Now here is that part where the title comes into play... 2 days ago it was warm, sunny, a nice spring day. Yesterday wasn't too bad either. I wake up this morning to see 2 INCHES OF SNOW! Okay, let's all say "WHAT?!?!?!" on the count of three...

1, 2, 3, "WHAT?!?!?!" Yep, you heard right, we have snow, in April! When it was so nice a few days ago! The unpredictable weather of Michigan really amazes me.

Anyways, of course I was bummed, but I went outside to play around in the snow. It's not the light, powdery snow. It's cold, wet, icy snow. :( Still I went outside, brrrr it was cold!

I went to Ivy's! And BIG news!

I went to Ivy's today! We are really becoming great friends. I didn't know her hardly at all a few months ago, but now she is like my best friend! She has a dog, Coconut, and a cat, Licorice. They actually get along really well, not like the stereotypical "dogs don't like cats" thing. We had a lot of fun. We walked Coconut around the campus. It is so warm outside, it is like 50 degrees! But tomorrow it is supposed to SNOW. Like 1-3 INCHES of SNOW! :( Anyways, then we came back to her dorm. She shares it with Marisol Luna, Sonali Matthews, Chrissa Maxwell, and Jess McConnell. I feel bad for her, she's stuck with all the Girl of the Year dolls! She doesn't get along with them too good, except maybe Jess. (Speaking of "Marisol Luna" she's the BIG news you'll be reading about in a second!) I had a lot of fun. Being with her pets makes me want a pet too! I think a cat would be easier for me, as it isn't as much work to take care of them.

Ivy is really nice, and we are getting to be great friends!

Now for the BIG news! I will hand this over to my owner for a second to "explain" this...

Ok, hi people! This is Avery's owner, you can call me, uh Max I guess! (don't ask...I'm reading the Maximum Ride books right now!). As of right now, I own 13 dolls. The fictional school which they attend has all of the dolls I have, plus all of the dolls I want. So when Avery says in the next paragraph that we are getting Marisol, it might sound weird since above it says Ivy shares a dorm with her already. It is hard to explain, but I hope you understand... :P Ok, back to Avery:

Well, you probably already know this, since "Max" just came out and told you, but MARISOL IS COMING TO LIVE HERE, well she already is *kinda* here, but that is the weird explaining part above LOL! I'm so excited! "Max" has wanted her forever, and finally has her after saving up for her forever! Here is an ebay auction picture. It is NOT mine, it's the seller's. I will post more pictures of her when she comes. She didn't come in her meet outfit (darn! I wanted to "borrow" it! :P). If anyone has an extra Marisol meet outfit that they wouldn't mind parting with, call me hehe! :P Make sure you vote in the poll in the sidebar for her middle name!

Talk to you later,

_avery, who is LOVING spring break!_

and "Max" who now has a name instead of "the human/my owner", and who is really excited about Marisol!

Detention Update!

I just realized that I posted on April Fools day! Well, that was NOT a joke. Unless you call a snobbish teacher yelling at your for 6 hours a joke!

Detention was horrible! It was SO boring. This teacher kept lecturing me about everything I did wrong, then I had to write 200 sentences of "I will turn my assignments in on time." *sigh* My hand hurts now! I'm glad it is over with, but 2 hours after school every day was a lot to get through! And I swear the next time I see Mr. Carmello I will punch him in the face! I'm not usually this violent, see what detention has turned me into?!?! :P
But on the bright side:


I am officially on spring break vacation!

YES! I am sooooooooooooo happy! I get to sleep in, stay up late, mess around, be with friends, no homework, it can't get much better than that! A lot of people are going on vacation to like, California or Florida, but I'm staying at school. I wish I could go back to France, but oh well...

I will post maybe a little more often now that I am on break. I will have a lot more time to be on the computer. :)

Oh, My, Gosh! Detention!

I want to scream my head off right now. I really do! I am in SO much trouble, it isn't even funny. It has been rainy a lot around here, and in my experience, lots of rain creates lots of big, muddy puddles. Well, a book report that I've been slaving on for almost 2 weeks was in my folder, which I was carrying, when I went walked up to the front school door. The paper slid out of my folder (don't ask me how), blew away, and fell in a puddle! It was beyong being saved, totally soaked and smeared. I tried to explain this to my English teacher. Haha, do you think she bought it? Nope! I got an F( a zero percent!) on that paper, which was worth a big chunk of my grade. And of course, my teacher won't let me make it up either, not even for 1/2 credit. And plus 3 days of detention! Aren't I lucky? I'm really freaking out! I served 1 day detention today, and I have the other 2 detentions tomorrow and Friday for 2 hours each night. You basically just sit there. You can't do homework or anything, and a teacher lectures you about what you did wrong on, and on, then you sit in total silence. It is so boring!

These are my first detentions! I'm so sad... my permanent record is ruined! :P

Once I got home from detention I actually cried. One of my room mates, Addy Walked, really comforted me. She is sweet, but I haven't gotten to know her much. She has her group, and I have mine... anyways, the teacher just sat there, yelling at me for something that wasn't even my fault! He was like "Ms. Voisin, this is unacceptable! Ms. Voisin you know that here at Mondale Preparatory Academy for Girls we expect, and demand, that all work be turned in on time, and that every paper will be done to your best ability. Ms. Voisin, I hope you understand that not turning in any kind of an assignment is irresponsible. Ms. Voisin, I am very disappointed in you! Ms. Vosin, you need to get off your high horse and realize that you are not better than everyone else. Ms. Voisin stop being so full of yourself, you are not better than everyone else and will turn in assignments just like your classmates." Etc, I won't go on. It was super annoying, since he kept putting "Ms. Voisin" in front of every sentence, and didn't even say my last name right! :P I was about ready to say, "Mr. Carmello, I bet you're going to think this is 'disrespectful' and and 'very inappropriate' but you can take your little lecture and shove it!" I didn't though, luckily for I would have been toast.

I'm really sad now. I have 2 hours of this tomorrow and Friday to look forward to.

On a better note, the poll has ended, and 70% of you like the new layout, which is a good enough chunk for me to keep it! I like it, and I'm glad you guys do too. I was getting tired of pink! I'll update you on tomorrow on detention.

Ivy and Grease, Part 2

At 7 last night Ivy and I went to the Mondale Prep. Production of Grease The Musical! It was really good. Since Mondale Prep. is just for girls, boys from Alan Academy were in it for all the guy characters. I thought they did a great job! My sort-of friend Macy Zieser was Sandy. She was amazing! I couldn't believe how well she sang. Here is the list of the main characters, and who played who (for girls)

(Can you see Ivy and I, we are on the far left in the audience! On stage is Macy and Nellie as Sandy and Frenchy.)

Macy Zeiser as Sandy Olsen

Lindsey Bergman as Betty Rizzo

Nellie O' Malley as Frenchy

Samantha Parkington as Jan

Gianna Geresti as Marty "Maraschino"

And there are a lot more small rolls too.

Yay! Ivy did end up spending the night! She came back to my dorm after we saw the musical. I'm so happy! We talked, played dolls and stuffed animals, watched a movie, then finally went to bed at like 1 o'clock in the morning! Since Addy Walker (who shares a bunk bed with me, she has the bottom and I have the top) was out that night, Ivy slept on the bottom. It was so much fun!

Well, I've got to go, bye for now!

Ivy and Grease!

Today Ivy came over from her dorm to hang out with me! It is Friday finally, but we have lots of homework. Ivy is in a lot of my classes, so while she was over we worked on our assignments together. For history we have to do reports on a foreign country's economic situation. She chose France, and I chose China, so we are helping each other on that. I'm really freaking out about my major quiz on Monday in English class. My teacher is really mean, it is 2 pages (front and back) full of really hard essay questions and it's worth like 1/3 of our grade. Speaking of grades, report cards come out next week! I'm not too worried, since most of the things in school come pretty easily to me. I'm really struggling in my foreign language class. I have my hands full speaking English, and retaining French (kind of hard when I can't speak it much because everyone I know only speaks English and that is the language I have to talk in almost 24/7). I am like failing Polish, (yeah a strange foreign language to take!). Luckily one of my friends, Katarzyna Dyzlaski (I've mentioned her in a post before) is Polish and she is helping me a lot! Even with that I'm averaging at about a B- , which is really bad for me. :( I've been doing a lot of extra credit though, so hopefully that will help my grade and Ms. Kowalski will bump me up a bit!

Another thing Ivy and I are doing is going to the production of *tweaked* Grease that Mondale Prep. is putting on! I love the Grease movie, so I can't wait to see it in a play. The script has been changed a bit though, to make it school, and 7th grade, appropriate. I tried out, but my schedule didn't work with the production schedule, so I had to turn down a roll. My "friend" Macy Zeiser is playing Sandy! I'm happy for her, but kind of jealous. She is nice enough though, she's in my Math class, and lent me her jacket once :P Anyways, we're going to see the musical tonight. I can't wait! It starts at 7:00 pm and goes until 9:00 pm I think.

Ivy might sleep over! I'm really happy, because I don't get to see many of my *real* friends except for in class and a little bit after school. I've been having so much homework and a lot of after school activities lately, that I haven't seen them much. I've just seen my room mates, which can get kind of annoying living with the same people every day! We are arranged alphabetically into our dorms, with 5 girls to a room. I'm with Gwen Thompson, Dakota Ulrich, Addy Walker, and Ella Xavier. They are pretty nice, but being with them so much gets annoying. And all their friends come over a lot, but mine usually don't.

This has been a really long post! Well I have to go now, talk to you later!

Sorry for not posting in forever! Beware: spoiler pictures!

Sorry I haven't posted in forever, I've just been so busy! I had a bunch of school work, fencing meets, and book club meetings.

But have you heard?!?!?!? It's REBECCA'S OFFICIAL BOOK COVER IMAGES! Credit to picasa user "madi"

As far as I know, this is a little mailerthing that some people are getting in the mail. It has pictures of her books, but none of the official doll or outfits yet. Still, we know sort of what she will look like now! I think she is really pretty. I understand now why they archived Samantha. They look a lot a like, with slightly curly brown hair of the same length and brown eyes, plus they're from the same time period, therefore have the same style of clothes. I'm still going to miss Samantha and Nellie though, but at least there will be a new doll!

Rebecca Rubin spoiler pictures are here! Yay!

Here is the album I got the picture from. All credit to picasa user "madi"
