Thursday was the crappiest day of my life. But I'm recovering nicely. On Friday I visited Spanish III, where they, get this: actually speak in Spanish! Hard to believe, I know. The dean gave me a slip to miss C Period, Phys Ed. I did activities with them and talked a lot and had a really good time. It was so much fun, it was the best thing that's happened to me all year. And it's the most I've talked, too. I can never speak Spanish when I'm supposed to, I sound like an English stoop who wandered into a class and has a Texas accent or something, but on Friday, I didn't sound like so much of a stoop. So Ms. J told me to go get my schedule changed, and I did. So now I have this new, funky schedule that I'm hella excited about. I start tomorrow, and everything is rearranged. There's only 1 frosh in the class. I'm so excited!

And we all know it's important to learn a second language:
Michael: Marta, you should have won. You're a wonderful person. Did you win? I can't speak Spanish and I couldn't tell.

And I went to my dad's yesterday, and we had a party. It was cute. Everything was pink and fun. I went to Ciara's school carnival and met all the people there. And then we hung out at the house in the hot-tub and bounced on their trampoline a while. They were like, "We have a trampoline!" and I was like, "That's nice," but then I saw it and it was HUGE, like Betsy's. Then we watched Degrassi and mom picked me up at 9.
And I got my iPod. I'm so technologically challenged, it's not even funny. I've already had 4+ verbal arguments with iTunes, or whatever the hell it calls itself. I already have 400 songs on this thing, and there are plenty more to go, fools. How do people live with the mini? I can't comprehend! But the most HILARIOUS thing ever came after I had charged it, and I had just figured out how to plug it into the computer. I plugged it in, and it was like, "Updating, do not unplug." I was like... What the hell? How do you update when there's no music? So I turn it on and start looking through it and I look at "Artists" and it says "Annyong," "G.O.B." "Wife Of G.O.B." and "Tobias," etc. I'm listening to them like, "What the...?" And I realize there are soundbytes on my computer of "Why don't we just take an ad out in I'm Poor magazine?" and "We're having a fire! (sale.)" They all transferred into it and I had to spend about 3 hours getting them off. I got into a fist fight with the iPod over that, too...
And today, I watched "Arrested Development," all afternoon. It was awesome. Commentary, no reception problems, no commercials, random facts, all of it. In the extended pilot they unbleep some things that were funnier bleeped out. It actually says "I have the worst fucking lawyers," and "Fuck off, traitor!" But it's funny to hear Jason Bateman and the writers and directors and people laughing at the pilot, too. Can't wait for that new season!
Adios, babes. I still have some beef with the iPod...
