rain always makes the week good!

i've been loving this rain so much that august and i decided that friday night we would go on a walk in it and take some pictures! we also decided it would be a good idea to watch the movie "apocalypse now" since it was english extra credit to compare it to the book "heart of darkness". and after a way two blockbusters and a way to friendly blockbuster worker who creepily stated that i "sure was apologizing a lot" because i said "sorry" for making him call the other store. i really wanted to respond "oh, sorry", but then decided that it would be best to get out of there as soon a possible because then the other guy working came over and was like "apocalypse now...you really ever get two girls coming in that just have to watch that movie. is it for a class?" it was a uinqe experience. but, the movie was ridiculously long and we both fell asleep for about an hour. when we woke up we thought kurtz had died and it was then end, but alas, they had not even found kurtz yet...truly a bummer.
the rest of the week was good. track on wednesday was fun for the most part minus weightlifting. but at the end, matt, jesse and i got to go out to the mat and do some drills. i think we may have scared this freshmen girl, who is thinking of doing high jump. especially matt who thought it would be a good idea to kick a soccer ball at me while jesse and i are trying to position the ramp under the bar. i didn't have much faith in his aim so i didn't move (haha just kidding. i could see that it wasn't going to hit me though) and was about to make some snide remark towards him when the ball crashed into the standard and caused the bar to fall on our heads. good thing high jump bars arn't that heavey. he is crazy! but, he did feel bad and say sorry, so i guess he is forgiven. haha :)
thursday and friday were good. thursday track was canceled due to the rain, which i was actually kind of bummed about since our coach was supposed to be coming.
friday was senior lunch and we all know that, that always makes the day better :)
well, as interesting as this is, i'm going to let you all enjoy the pictures and stop informing you on the oh so captivating details of my life.


i tried editing some of the color in these a bit, so yes, the second picture is a duplicate of the first
august with an umbrella. i think this is a really cool picture! :D improved august haha
i tired to get the water flowing in the gutter...it sort of worked

oh, and if any of you need a laugh go to NBC. com and watch the first five minutes of "the office" episode titled "stress relief"! one of the funniest things i think i've EVER seen! seriously i LOVE that show...i'm pretty much obsessed, but hey, at least i admit it. and i guess it's not that bad since it's the only show i watch.

hope you all are enjoying the rainy weekend as thoroughly as i am!
