Well... What to say. Nothing much except family. This is my first chance this weekend to blog. The rest of my family has taken up the computer. My sisters had school today. Bwahahaha!!!
On Saturday, I babysat. They weren't that bad this time.
Today, we went over to my grandparents to eat Dinner (Lunch to those who aren't Dutch). Our Great-Aunts Grada, Arlene, and Harriet were there as well as our Great-Uncle Howard. When we were eating, my Grandpa told us about someone praying in Dutch and there was only one phrase that people could understand. He told it to us, and all the old people started laughing. I cannot tell you how weird it was. The punch line was in a different language. Living in a Dutch community is weird. A lot of last names start with Vander, Vande, Van, De, etc. (i.e. Vander Lugt (pronounced Vander Luckt), De Jong (De Young)). We also played this fun game called penny Rummy.
Do you all start school on Wednesday? Freshmen tomorrow? You guys ready?

are you insane? who is ever ready for school?
im as ready as i will ever be. Sounds interesting...the whole dutch thing. Today my family (extended as well) were just talking about the different ways to spell and pronouce our name. (yockey that is...it's my mom's maiden name.)
I'm kinda ready. I am really nervous for the classes I don't know anyone in yet. Hopefully it won't be that bad. It sounds like you are having fun in Iowa.
hahahaha...you're kidding. i am totally not ready. i have barely gotten through chapter 5 of the ap lang and comp book. well...i'll let you know how it goes.
do you have a homecoming dance at your school?? if you do are you going?? you should
There is a homecoming dance but no parades here. It's next Friday or Saturday. But I'm not going though. Paula, how many chapters are there? Megan, how do you pronouce it?
School started today and I am exhausted. Orch was really weird without you there! :.( I miss you so much! I have AP Lang with Megan first hour. It was great. The teacher is amazing. Then I have Acc. Precalc where there are 32 kids in my class including Paula and Hilary. (AP only had 18.) Then I went to Gym with Rachel Wrobel. Then German (30 kids) with Erin, Leah, Paige, Shannon and Meghan Lynch. Then Ancient and Medieval History with Hilary! Then LUNCH FINALLY! I have 2nd. Then Orch :(. Then Civics which was a JOKE! I really wish I would have taken AP Government. ARGH! The teacher spent the first 15 minutes thinking we were a WORLD STUDIES class!!! Then it took him 20 minutes to take attendence! 20 MINUTES?!?! He is really weird. But other than that I like my classes.
