Recap, Reflection and Comparison

I am ashamed.  When was my last post?  Like, a month ago?  Crap.  That was NOT supposed to happen!  I've been busy with, as I like to say in German, "Zeug, Kram und Sachen."  Those are pretty much three different words for "stuff."  I may have also gotten a tad bit lazy.  Just a bit.  It's summer, after all!  And I do have to admit, I was getting a little burned-out from writing almost every day.  But yes, a month is definitely long enough of a break to take!  Since this is my last post probably EVER (gasp!) I know I should have posted sooner and gotten it done with, but instead I've left you hanging for a loooong time.

Let me begin with a recap.  I'll try to sum everything up as best I can, but I'm not promising that I'll remember everything.

A Fantabulistic Birthday Party

Fantabulistic. Yes, it's a word.  Yes, I made it up.

Anyways, yesterday, I celebrated my birthday with my friends.  It was, well, fantabulistic! :D I had an awesome time.

First, my grandma and I set the table and made the food.  I had brought a package of brownie mix with me from America, so I baked those.  My grandma baked a cake, and also bought some cookies.  My grandpa went and got lots and lots of strawberries.  The table looked like this:

Ditching, Shopping and Reading

After reading the title, you probably have a lot of questions.  "Did Julia ditch?"  "Who ditched?" "What kind of ditch are we talking about here?"  Before you read this, I want you to know that I didn't mean to ditch, and I wouldn't have if I had another choice.

Now you are probably extremely curious.

After a very boring English class (that reminds me–I have homework!) and spending between periods in a very light rain that attacked you from all sides, I went to EGE.  You know, that English History something-or-other class.  I will find out exactly what it stands for eventually.

Anyway, when I reached the floor with my classroom on it, I didn't see anyone from my class in the foyer thingie.  Usually everyone hangs out there until the teacher comes and unlocks the door and then they all go inside the classroom.  My first thought was, "Oh, they must be in already."  But when I pulled on the door, it was locked.  I then stood there for a couple of minutes, trying to figure out what to do.  Were they in a different classroom?  Sometimes we go to a different room to see the projects on the computer.  However, I didn't know how to get to that room.  I probably looked like an idiot to the seventh graders hanging out in the foyer; not knowing what to do, I was just kind of slowly walking around the foyer, looking for something that would help me to decide what to do.

That something didn't show up.
