finally!!! i can chill!!Been packing since noon..three hours...not bad. I kept forgetting things, and would have to unpack and repack everything. Then..when it came to clothes...that was a whole new issue. ma be in South Carolina for about 2 months...long time. So...i need clothes! But my mom kept reminding me that we do wash cloths down there, so don't bring too much. Im like..whats too much?? So i started sorting all the clothes in my closet. Shirts were so impossible. I set aside the ones that are too big for me now and looked at what was left...still too many. Next plan: pick all the ones i really like. Hmm..that crosses out about 3 more shirts...still too many. Step 3: Leave behind all my black shirts...its summer for crying out loud! Dark colors draw heat! So that made me leave beind another 5 or so. But i still have a large stack. So i just started picking some to leave out...then discovered that all but 3 of my shirts i ws gonna bring were tank tops. hmm..what if i want a shirt w/ sleeves?? So then i grabbed a mess of t-shirts and stuff...only to find myself back where i started. So i finally cut it back to 14 shirts i have on hangers ready to load in the car...i figure...that way i can go 2 weeks w/out washing anything (if i had to) and w/out having to wear the same things over and over. But then there were 3 tank tops i had set aside that i had forgotten about but i wanna bring. So i rolled them up and shoved them in the bottom of some other suitcase...haha. im so slick. lol.
So..i think i got it straight.

Now, im downloading music...i need a new cd for the drive there....8 hours in the car can KILL!! But...as long as i have music im fine. I usually listen to my favorite stations while i go through D.C. and stuff, that lasts about an hour...maybe a little less...until i can't get any reception. Then i switch to cds. Luckily, my real talkative cousin isn't coming w/ us this time..he'll come up later. See...as soo as we get in the car, he starts talkin and talking..and i have my radio on...and i turn it down...so i am half-listening to him. U know...smile and nod...throw in the occasional "Oh!!" and "haha!" and "Really?" so it makes me sound like im interested...but really im like...shut up! Im sorry...but i want to listen to the radio before there gets too much static and i gotta resort to cds..u kno how that is? so...yeah...i wonder what pple did before portable cd players came about...

whew!! Two hours later...i am finally done! I just updated my address book and buddy list! geez! i had elementary school people i haven't heard from in years in there! so..yeah...now im pretty much set. yay!

Quick overview of past days: finals....got a new learner's permit since my old one was about to expire...they changed em...looks better....and i went to my elementary school to visit....i love that place...

NEwayz, today was my last day of school. Technically, school isn't out til monday...so i have 2 more days..but im not going. Tomorrow theres supposed to be a picnic, but i don't really wanna go. This is the first year it wasn;t cancelled....but...i keep thinking something will go wrong (like alwayz)...and we wont have it. Also, it is supposed to rain, and it will be hot/humid. And...we'd be outside from like 1pm to 4:10 for the picnic...and im not trying to leave for vacation already w/ a sunburn...no...too early for that... Not to mention...u gotta know oxon hill...chances are, they will run out of food....there will be tons of pple...there will be some fights...it will be hot...all that stuff...im just like...ill miss it. Plus, i need to pack...i leave for South Carolina Saturday morning!! whoop-whoop!! yea!

Today was a nice last day of school. No work...just fun. Talking w/ friends...hanging out...all that stuff. The best class was 6th period...we werent doing anything, so me, Constance, Ashley and Sherrelle were playing an odd form of pictionary drawing on the board. It was hilarious. We were basically reliving our childhood..aww..lol. We were doing things like old nickalodeon cartoons (ren and stimpy...rocko's modern life), and old t.v. shows (family matters, step by step, boy meets world)...then our real old favorite cartoon t.v. shows (captain planet, alvin and the chipmunks, quack pack, dinosaurs, smurfs). it was sooo funny! we were all getting excited and all...andsinging the old theme songs...i still have the captain planet theme song in my head...the other pple in the classroom were playying cards or sitting nd talking, nd when we were singing and stuff they were just like...oh no...lol. It was so fun...ima miss that class...no more Adkins!!
PreCal BC was also fun. We played one of my favorite card games...Egyptian Rat Screw...love it! Its so violent tho! See...there were like 4 of them that were dealt in. Then, me and like 3 others were all like...i wanna play!! But they said we had to smack in...so i did...and i went in and out 5 times! lol. But it was hilarious cause in the end when the bell rang for dismisal, it was down to me and this other boy, and i was winning!! And i didn't even start in the game! lol. ha! It was fun, but my hand was hurting so bad from smacking and getting hit!! lol. love that game...

So today was nice...geez...this high school year was sooo crazy...with the gym being built...all the drama and fights...rumors...all the snow...the sniper episode...the war...all that school stuff....geez...this year ws so crazy! But...WE'RE SENIORS!!!!!!!!! 2004 BAYYYBEE!!

Mayn...today was sooo bad...

First problem: Its a Monday. Mondays suck...theres just nothing else to it...it is almost imporrible to make Mondays a day to look foreward to..

Second Problem: Its the start of finals. And Todays finals were the worst: AP US History (fun/great class...super hard tests..) and PreCalculus BC (cool teacher...i hate math). These are my two hardest classes...and the two tests I REALLY had to study for, cause they can determine my grade for the end of the year.

Ohhhh mayn..was this bad... The history test...a few were easy..but...most of them i was torn between two anwser choices. Geez...i think i did bad...
Pre Cal was even worse...and thats not good...cause if i want a B in the class, I needed to get at least a 70% on the final...i dont think i got it. At first, i was like...this is easy...but less than halfway threw it i got stuck. I tried to skip it and move on, but then i was lost on the next one...and the next one..and the next...and was like...crap. So...yeah..not good. That was 8th period. The bell rang for dismissal, and i was still there trying to finish it. But after some minutes, i still had 3 more to go..and i just guessed...i was so stuck. omg...it was baad...

There was one good thing today: WE GOT A 95% (A) ON OUR WATERGATE VIDEO FOR HISTORY!! whoop-whoop!! yeah!! I think thats our highest grade on a video. Boosted! He said that we chose one of the most challenging topics to do, but it was good and well researched. ohyeah! Megan: script writer, actress, cameraman, producer, director. O yeah! lol

School tomorrow...just one more week!! Yay! Actually..i really am gonna miss this year...been so hectic...but most of my teachers were so cool..my friends were in most of my classes...i doubt that will happen next year, with the schedule changing and all. Oh well. I can't worry about that now...ill wait and see how that is...

Today my grandparents came over for Father's Day. Had ice cream cake and crab legs...yum...

I did my portfolio project for english...i felt so happy when it was done..knowing that that is the LAST project this year. Studied some for PreCal final and History final tomorrow...ill look over more later. Please...i hope i do ok....a C is all im askin for in PreCal..that can bring my grade to a B...i realy could use a B in there... For history...i dunno what im at currently...i thinki have an 85 or 86% in there now...so unless i do reallygood or really bad on the final, my grade isn't changing.

I really, really need an RP project. I can't think of anything...help!! geez...i just need a topic... I found a good one...but the thing is, we need to do at least 30trials, and for this project i build model houses and test how well they can hold up to a simulated earthquake...but it would be impossible for me to build so many structures...so that idea is pretty much scratched. I need an idea....aahhh!
