ugh. gaia is all messed up for me. you guys? most of you all are just those annoying blue ?'s. even me when i'm not on my profile. i think it's been two days or so like that. i'm pretty sure that it's on shane's account, too. so i was just wondering if it was only my laptop.......

as for the collectables, what do you think they will be? a little confusing on ron bruise's part...... (hehehe...)

what else? oh, today we had a field trip. forgot to have my permission slip signed, so i had to call mum at school. so we went to bowdoin college and listened to a presentation about the sndroscoggin river and how it was polluted back then. chemical deposits and human waste. then logs, which ultimately killed off the entire salmon population. the people who did the fish part were really funny. so i'll try my best to retell it:
one girl: fisherman/woman
second girl: in full lumberjack uniform and holding huge log
third girl: wearing a trash bag
one boy: holding big metal fish
second boy: REALLY TALL, and a damn. ("I'm Luke, and I'm a damn...." wink
so fishergirl starts fishing. then boy holding the fish pretends to get caught and flails around. to the left of him is the damn. so then lumberjack girl comes in between fisher and fish, kinda humming. fisher says, "hey. i gotta fish."
"yeah, well, i gotta mey logs."
"but my family needs fish and- whatever." and she leaves all angry. so loumberjack kinda runs around in the 'river' for a little while, then leaves. then trash girl come into the river and starts hitting the fish guy. he starts squealing and tries to go 'upstream'. but damn guy is blocking it, so he dies. the end.
that was kinda really funny. then it was done, and we got to go on a tour of bowdoin. and let me tell YOU. it was awesome. their library just got their millionith book last spring. THEIR MILLIONITH. i mean, come on. somebody said it's the biggest library in maine. and they teach languages including italian and japanese. maybe latin. those are the ones that i want to learn most. and they have a gym with weights and stuff. it's like, my perfect college. their were old people on the lawn doing ti-chi. ti-chi! old people! their dorms looked okay and they're all getting renovated.
i. ********. loved. it.
heart
then we went back and got a cookie and water. then when we got home we went out into the field during my ONLY free period of the whole week and did stuff. but it wasn't terrible. i had to take my windbreaker off because it was boiling, and laura and everyone were, like, gasping. apparently they haven't seen my arms in over a year. rolleyes and matt's like, "you're white."
yeah. i'm white as a ghost. the only tan i got last year was a soccer one on my calfs. it looked so stupid. so yeah.
old people......
