"My Life" Essay & Other Stuff

Finally, I am excited about a homework project! Today Senora Montoya assigned an essay due Monday about our life. Basically, it's an autobiography. Since I love writing this project is going to be a breeze. Already I finished my first three paragraphs (it's supposed to be 7 to 10) and I am really excited- I might even post the essay when I finish! Sunny says that she knows I'll get an A but I'm not so sure. I get so nervous when it comes to essays and tests. Speaking of tests, my first one is tomorrow!!! It's technically a "pop quiz" but somehow word always leaks out that there's one. It's on math (my not-so-best subject) but I am studying!

So, how has school been for you?

My desk! This is where I do all my homework :-)

I am still in shock about Angel! She is just so cute and lovable...she's the best dog ever! Today I taught her how to shake and roll over. It's amazing how obedient Angel is! 

Oh, I almost forgot! There's been an update on Madi's move and it's NOT a good one :-(. Instead of staying at FMSG until winter hiatus, she's now saying that her parents want her to transfer right after Halloween on November 2nd! When I asked her why, she said, "My parents want me to go there as soon as possible!" That's when I thought of that snob, Nellie! What parents want their child at a school where her peers set such a horrible example? I didn't say any more of it. I guess I'm just going to have to face the facts that Madi won't be at FMSG with me my whole life.

I guess this post was sort of boring but I just wanted to keep you all updated with things! I do have a surprise though and it will be revealed on the next post. Keep checking back for the special post... ;-)

Meet Angel

I cannot believe what Sunny did! I just can't! I was totally not suspecting to get a dog when we went to the pet store this morning to get some fish food, I wasn't even suspecting we'd look at the dogs! But Sunny said I could look and something absolutely, positively amazing happened- she said I could pick a dog, any dog at the pet store!

I nearly died. 

Like I said in previous posts, my friend/roommate is allergic to dogs and cats and basically anything with fur so this was a total surprise. Sunny said that the dog had to sleep outside at night because that's practically the only time we're all in our dorm together. I agreed. Of course I wanted a puppy but my friends definitely come first! 

I looked at every dog. Every single one. This was probably the only dog I'd ever have so I wanted to pick the right one! All the dogs were cute, though so this made it extra hard to choose :-(

Then, in the second-to-last cage, was a medium-sized brown and white basset hound. I guess you could say it was love at first sight!

"Is this the one you really want, Cali?" Sunny asked. "She really isn't all that playful."

It was true. The basset hound was mellow and quiet while the other dogs seemed rambunctious and were barking nonstop. But I didn't care! This dog was the dog for me!

"Yes!" I said, grinning.

Sunny just smiled and paid for the dog. And then it was official- I owned my very own dog!

As we drove away with the cute basset hound and some fish food, I couldn't help but wonder what to name the dog. After a lot of ideas, I finally came up with Angel! I think the name fit her perfectly.

Here's a picture of Angel and me sitting on my favorite red chair:

And a picture of Angel:

I am just so happy! I can't wait to tell my friends. They'd love to see Angel...even Noelle! :-)

I got to go! Bye!
