Rainy Days

This weekend my family and I went to the Johnson Cabin for some good old Johnson family fun. Problem was - it wouldn't stop raining. What was there to do but just sit in the cabin and enjoy the sound and smell of the rain? David, Caleb, my cousin, and I went on a couple walks while Suzy bounded beside us and almost killed a turkey that we didn't even see until it ran out of the trees, leaving its turklets behind, and scaring the crap out of me because we had been talking about cougars all day long.

The rain brought mud, which was a little difficult on our little Avalon when we tried to drive the dirt, now mud, road. Very fun. David and I had some fun times, jumping into waist deep water with our pants on just for the fun of it (and because we promised to, on family). It was also fun when he pushed me off of a log and I fell off backwards. Ask Karla or Wayne what happened there.

My two favorite parts, however, involved Karla and my mom. The first one happened when we went to Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. After the movie everyone was trying to get out of the place because in Vernal's small theater, the next movie starts RIGHT after one finishes. While the credits were rolling however, Karla was completely unaware that people were trying to get out of the aisle, so she was dancing along with the music playing during the credits. About eight people were behind her just standing there while Karla just continued to dance, for about two minutes while everyone just stood there, waiting. It doesn't sound like much, but David, Caleb and I were laughing so hard, I almost started crying...almost.

Number two, my mom. Everyone knows that mice get into our cabin. Well we were all just sitting around the cabin, talking at night when my mom thought she saw a mouse and she suddenly stopped and said, and this a direct quote here, "I saw something...and then I saw something!" Everyone laughed for about an hour before we calmed down. It was so funny.

Hopefully you guys reading this are laughing and its not just one of those things where you had to be there. I hate it when that happens. Boo.

fin.

The AP test is over, as of Thursday. It took about four hours for the entire thing. The multiple choice went all right, but I just hope I'm on thebetter side of the national curve and some genious Asian kid in...Kentucky didn't ruin the whole thing by getting a 100%. That would be really bad. On to the three essays after a ten minute break. My DBQ (Document Based Question) was a little sloppy, as was my second essay (Change Over Time - thank goodness I knew most of the information that it was on otherswise I would be absolutely SCREWED! It was on the Silk Road, for those of you who were curious) because I didn't have a lot of time to work. My last essay (Compare and Contrast) I totally rocked! That's my best essay. It was on social ideaology in North America and Latin America from the 1500s to 1830. I rocked it!!! Until...I was walking home and I realized that I wrote it on social structure instead of the social ideaology. NO! If I had realized that in time I still could have done well because I knew about the social ideaology! I was so disappointed. Hopefully the people grading will be kind.
I feel like, now that it's over, all of the pent up stress and frustration that I've been carrying for the year have now melted away. I have a chance to get my life back now! I am so excited to start doing other things again besides constantly studying for that stupid test. Phew. It's over...it's done.
