Kim (one of my friends) is going to be transferring back to her old school. She already has like half of her transcript filled out by the teachers and tomorrow's going to be her last day. I'm so sad about that. She's not going to be moving or anything, though. She's going to be staying at her grandma's during the weekdays and then coming home on the weekends. We live near each other so maybe I'd be able to see her sometimes. But its still so sad because I'm going to be like all alone. Well, I could always hang out with Jerlyn but she has like a really short attention span. Actually, its more like ADHD. I'm not the person who said that first, Kim was. So now I think that all the time. But yea... It's sad.

Today was the 7th day of school for the year. It was also the first time that I spent lunch time with Jamie and met a ton more people in one day than I did in a whole week. I bought a cinnamon roll from the cafeteria today and you're all probably thinking, "Who cares?", right? Well, I had to mention it because it was really nasty. The bread was all dry and icky. I'm never getting that again. But the thing is, the cinnamon rolls were really good at GHS. *sigh* Oh well.
Today in geometry, we used the TI-84(?) calculators that were connected to the teacher's computer. It was kind of cool because you could compete to see how fast you could get the answer in. He gave us really easy questions like "Is the sky blue today?" and "How many games will the Raiders win this season?". It took me longer to answer the 2nd one because I have no idea how good the raiders are.
My grandma is flying back to Hong Kong this Sunday night because her mom just died. I have no idea what day it was but the doctors had said that she was going to be dying soon. I've only met my great grandma once and I don't really remember what she looked like. My grandma might not come back though. That will be good for my little brother because she spoiled him a lot.
On Monday night, my dad put a stereo in my room so now I can listen to the radio no matter what I'm doing. It used to be in the living room but it was rarely used so I asked if I could have it in my room. There's not really any room for it anyways in the living room or the kitchen now.
I'm going to be getting braces tomorrow afternoon and I'm only kind of looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to it because my teeth will be straightened when they take it off. But I'm also not looking forward to it because its going to hurt and also make my lip protrude a bit. I dunno. And I'll also talk weird.
The Back to School dance is this Friday from 8-11pm. I was thinking about going last week but then Amber said that she wasn't going and I didn't want to be alone. But Jamie is going so I'm probably going to go. I already asked my mom and its going to be free for me because my mom bought this ASB sticker at orientation. I was totally looking forward to it awhile ago but then I remembered that it'll be one day after getting my braces.

My very first entry on Nutang, how exciting! I still need to make a layout for this blog but I have some ideas. No entirely sure what I'm going to do yet, or my theme. But I'm thinking of doing a tables layout instead of a div layout. Anyways, enough of the boring stuff. Some info about me...
I won't tell you my name but you can call me Cammie or Cam for short, if you want. Either way, its still me. I'm a 15 year old girl who is currently a sophomore at DHS. I recently (recently being last Saturday) moved into a brand new home where I got my own bathroom. At my old house, I had to share with my little brother and grandma but no more! The new house is 2 stories (not that I'd settle for anything less) with 5 rooms and 3 1/2 baths. My parents have a room, I have one, my grandma has one, and so does my little brother. The 5th room is the room that my mom uses for an office. The bunch of houses are called Silvera Ranch and the houses are built by Pinn Bros. We got the million $ houses because the cheaper ones did not have room in the driveway for even 2 cars unless you use your garage. And we mainly use our garage as a storage/room for my dog. School started 2 days after we moved in so a lot of things are still in boxes.
My new school is maybe a little bigger than my old school. I used to go to a school called GHS. I kind of liked that school quite a bit. My new school is a lot older than GHS and a lot of things are broken or rusty. The school also has around 2x more students and the classes are a lot harder. Or maybe its just the classes. But good SAT scores are stressed really badly. The classes that I'm taking this year are French 2, Honors English, AP European History, Team Sports(did not want to do this), Biology, and Geometry in that order. So far, I like my english, history, and geometry teachers. The other teachers are just... okay.
On the very first day of school, I was kind of brave and made my very first friend here in this new city. I'm usually a very shy person but more on that later, possibly much later. Her name is.... Well, lets just call her Amber, k? And apparently she just moved here 1 day after me and living in the same bunches of houses as I am. So I'm happy about that.
Let's talk more about my family. I live with my parents, my grandma, my little brother, and my dog. My dad's a computer engineer and my mom's a travel agent. I have no idea what my grandma did when she was younger but when she was a child, her family were farmers. Its amazing how far we've gotten. Thank god! No offense to those who are really religious. My little brother is 7 years younger than me, which will make him 8 years old on October 30th. My birthday is August 4th, by the way. He's supposed to be in the 3rd grade but he got held back last year so he has to be in 2nd grade again. My dog is 1 year younger than my little brother. His name is Cookie and he is a tan toy poodle. (Not to be mistaken with a toy stuffed dog) My dad got him for me when he was 1 years old for my birthday. My dad bought him for only $100 because his old owner owned a lot of pets (I think, I don't really remember) and so he sold Cookie to us for only $100. Poodle puppies go for around $500-1000 now. Cookie is currently 7 years old so he's quite old in dog years. He's still really hyper because we never got him neutered. At our old house, it was like he owned the house and the backyard. But he hasn't really been let around the house too much since we moved because of all the boxes. If he tries to jump on something, it might fall and he'll hurt himself. So until we're finished unpacking everything, he has to sleep in the garage for awhile.
But enough about that, on to some other stuff.
I found NuTang through http://little-b.nutang.com. I loved the layout and the entries were just fabulous. Those were the first 2 things that I noticed. Then I noticed a button that saids Log In and one that said Join. And being the naturally nosy and curious person that I was, I clicked on it. I joined the forums and asked Dave for an invite code. And he generously gave me one. Yay Dave! And so here I am. Thanks for reading!
