Support?

I've been following Mr.Freshwater's hearings fairly closely. For those of you who don't know, he got fired and right now there's a hearing going on in which he's appealing the decision.

Anyway, if you read before, I really hate this whole case. So did most of the school. Frequently, after reading the stories in the news, I would be really angry at the person who accused him- then known as John Doe. I've been in Mr.Freshwater's class and he did nothing wrong.

I found out this morning that one of my friends is the accuser. He missed school yesterday and I found out that it was because yesterday he was testifying about the tesla coil and how it burned a cross into his arm and it stayed there.

What do you do when you want to support a teacher, and know he didn't do anything wrong while YOU were in his class, but you have a friend who you just know wouldn't lie about something like this?

If you figure that out, let me know, because I'm stumped.

Elaboration

Well, a lot has happened in the past two weeks. Not as much as I apparently almost tricked Mrs.Lemon into thinking, but a lot.

I got into Akron and Kent. Both of my schools. This is not at all horrible. I have no intention of going to U of A, but I have every intention of pitting the schools against each other once I get their scholarship and financial aid offers, if any. This is brilliant.

I've been working at New Hope Preschool two days every week for Teacher Academy. I have gotten to the point where I absolutely hate being in the classroom (partly because the teacher can be grouchy and annoying at times) but I love my kids. I just don't think the teaching career is for me permanently. I had a kid almost pee on me the first day and today at Extended Day Kindergarten (my community service project for the academy every Tuesday) a kid had a huge snot bubble in hs nose and I almost gagged. It was so nasty. Anyway, I think I can do it for a year while I'm in Paraguay, but I don't think it's my eternal calling. I think I'm going to stick with the materialistic Fashion Merchandising career and stick to helping bridezillas pick out their dream wedding gown.

So, in addition to this wonderful revelation, I also had one of the most painful experiences of my life last week. I don't know if painful is the right word. It was agonizing, but not in the way like when someone dies. Dawn's kids came back for a visit. We went to llama farm and corn maze and had a blast, but then, because Dorenda had to work, I had to go with Dawn to take the kids to their "real" home. It was awful. I was not prepare for how hard that was. Tonya cried the entire time, and after we left, Dawn and I cried almost all the way home. It was awful.

While they were here was nice though. We walked llamas. One sneezed on Jennifer. We went to the corn maze and Dawn, Darren, Angelica, and Mo all jumped out at various times making me and Jennifer have compromised bladder control (that just sounds icky doesn't it?).

Jennifer decided she was going to become a llama. She changed her mind once she became scared of them.

Ali was a little scared of the llamas, too.

In regards to Mrs.Lemon's comment, that whole thing has been taking a major hit lately, although I'm trying to deal with it a lot better. Two friends have come up to me telling me that they're getting married next year, bringing the total of friends' weddings for April-September 2009 up to three. I e-mailed with my old friend, Brittany, who just got married in August (and her sister,Nichole, about 2 weeks later) and she's all happy. I'm thrilled for them but wallowing for me. Occasionally. I've actually had several moments in the past few months in which I have actually learned to enjoy how single I am. It has its fun points and I'm beginning to like those instead of just being continuously depressed. I think that's an improvement.

Also, this guy seemed to like me-

He was totally into me. Can't you just see the chemistry? That's Fernando, my Latin llama lover. Isn't he divine? Things are moving a little fast for me. I'm hesitant about the whole inter-species thing. I'm not THAT openminded.

I honestly can't think of much else. I'm off to Powderpuff practice in a few, because our game is tonight at the stadium at 6:00. It should be interesting if nothing else. On that note, go and boo my dad for me. He's not going. Jerkface. He has tickets to a show and stuff. His loss. As I told my friend, James, when guilting him into going tonight (in addition threatening to bring a football and throwing it in his face tomorrow in senior social studies), it's like the ultimate entertainment for me and everyone else. Athletically challenged girl in skirt and leggings attempts to tackle oppposing team. It's like a viral YouTube video waiting to happen. Tell me that isn't free $5 entertainment. Seriously.

I Have Trouble Accepting That Edward Cullen Is a Fictional Character

So, yes. I've been gone for two weeks and THIS is the title I chose to come back with. Congrats, Blogiverse. Did you miss me? Of course not.

So, anyway- reader's digest version of the past two weeks as I have limited time before the bus gets here, but will explain later (maybe):

I've been obsessed with Twilight since picking it up in a Barnes and Noble on Wednesday. I couldn't put it down and bought it. I also ordered the other three. Thus the title. It's way too sad that the main guy isn't real. Honestly. (Can I get an amen, Shana?)

I got accepted to BOTH of my schools. Huzzah! Now, because I decided I really don't like my second choice's program at all, I can pit them against each other and go to Kent for cheaper possibly.

I am no longer single. (Got ya. Did you think the blog was going to change THAT much in two weeks?)

I am still quite single.

I less than three forensic science and kick it's butt and hand it to it.

My application for Paraguay was sent, received, and forwarded to the various directors. I'm not sure whether to be thrilled or terrified.

That's all for now. I think I may actually come back this time. I missed blogging.

Break

At the moment, I'm not incredibly inspired to blog about my life.  I'm stressed out, exhausted, and my head just needs sorted out away from the wonderful world of Blogger at the moment. I think I'm going to take the next two weeks off (not really a change as of late, but hey) and see how I am then.

You don't want to read my blogs when they're this incoherent anyway.

Well...

I know it's been forever, and eventually I will write a long, detailed post begging for forgiveness and filling everyone in on my life in the past week. But tonight is not that night.

I will mention though, that I did turn 18 on Thursday, had a surprise birthday party (or two) on Sunday, and got accepted to Kent State University on Sunday night.

Yeah. More details to follow.

Until then, here's a slideshow of my surprise party on Sunday night. I have great friends.
