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!
