Okay, so ... I really want to update you guys on what's been going on in my life thus far. I haven't updated since the ball (funny story about that, actually).
• I missed the ball. Stupid, stupid me--I misread the date and time. So, I arrived a day late. I put together a quick house party to make up for it, but wound up missing it to, (due to family business) but Tommy showed and said that the guests had a good time. I sold all of the stuff we bought for the balls and I've got all my gold back, so, you know--that's a plus.
I'm planning on putting together an enormous summer bash, though. In honor of the NSTG, and all of the amazing work they do. Rock on, guys. heart Tommy's going to help host the bash, and there will be lots of lots of bathings suits. Watch out for a bikini contest. ;D Lawl, kidding. But there will definitely be best-dressed contests and all, and awesome giveaways. Stay updated, gang.
Onto my school life.
• Scripture. My scripture class has ... lost its flare. I mean, I love my teacher. I just wish she'd be a little more open-minded with girls of different beliefs, that's all. We were trying to explain what it means to be an agnostic to her, and she calls us argumentative and that we don't believe in what the Roman Catholic church teaches us. Which is complete and utter crap, as I am one of the biggest Roman Catholics you will ever see, but I understand the difference between spirituality and religion; they go hand-in-hand beautifully, but they are not the same. My reflection paper that I turned in earlier this quarter was rockin', might I say.
• Western Literature. So, we're getting into Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, which is a phenomenal book, if I do say so myself. My favorite characters thus far are Sydney Carton and the Marquis. Yes, yes. "The Marquis is a bad guy, Franny!11" I'm aware of this. I just love that sort of villain. The silent, deadly type whose expression you can never read and yet you completely can. I just love how Darnay and the Marquis' conversation earlier in the book parallels with Simba and Scar from The Lion King, haha. ;D I love my English teacher. She reminds me of the Marquis. xD Kidding, kidding. But if you get on her bad side, you're going to wish you had the Marquis teaching you this crap in French.
• History. My history teacher is the bomb, for serious. She's so adorable. ^_____^ I love that woman. We just finished our China unit, and now we're getting into ancient Rome, which I know will be a blast. Not as fun as Greece, but fun, nonetheless. I'm studying really hard because I really want to make all A's for the rest of the year. My dad says that I can have the Volkswagen Beetle I've always wanted, ever since second grade.
And here it is.
• Biology. Boooring. My bio teacher is so. Freaking. Picky. About every single thing I turn in. The fact I made an A in her class is phenomenal. I don't know about this semester, though. I have to talk to her and see if I can bring my grade up to an A. *is not a science person* Aaand, we just got done with an ecology project. I did a PowerPoint on the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia with Lexie. And we rocked that presentation. T'was awesome. I'm sure that'll help my grade.
• Theater Productions. So, I'm in the school play, Pride and Prejudice. I think I already said this, but I'm saying it again: Lady Catherine Du Bourgh (my character) is off the chaaang~ heart I love that woman. We're basically rehearsing every day during class, as well as after school. That's going awesomely; I'll definitely be off-book by the time we're supposed to be. :]
• Algebra. My teacher hates the world. No kidding. She's like ... I'm ignorant as to how to describe how much she hates teenage girls. Unfortunately enough, that's who she deals with every day. And, sadly, that's what we deal with every day. Although, she likes me for my intellect and for my attentiveness in class, but that's it.
"Ma'am, what does 'x' equal, then?"
"NO PERSONAL QUESTIONS, FRANCHESCA."
"Yes ma'am. Sorry, ma'am."
• French. My French teacher is sososososososo adorable, it's not even funny. She's petite, like me, and her accent is thick and authentic and lovely, and UGG I want to speak French with that accent. It's so pretty. ;____; All of the language teachers at my school are native speakers and grew up in a location where the language they teach is native, so they all have these incredible accents and--and-- *dies* I love languages, in case you couldn't tell.
[/school life]
Well, I should be getting to bed. I had almost no homework tonight. Go figure. ;o]
Love you guys! <3

Mood. Tired, relieved, relaxed. I can't wait to update later on my personal life. xD
Upcoming Events: Spring Break in two weeks! <3 For me, anyway.
