welcoming labor day weekend

hello beautifuls

i'm sitting in the yearbook back-room right now during 7th period office working. I've been thinking of you guys a lot today, and realize i haven't filled you in in a while (haha, in in)

anyways, so last weekend i went to the 80s dance. it was WILD. and by wild, i mean not at all, as there were about 30 people there total. still fun though, as i always love an excuse to dress up. also, on sunday i babysat for the first time with kelsey. it completely reassured to me that i made the right choice in asking her to do it with me. she's always optimistic, works great with kids, and we never run out of things to talk and laugh about.

later today we have our first pep rally. that should be exciting to have one as a senior. but, i'm not going to the game tonight oh well. instead, i'm hanging out at kkhita's with some other people, which'll probably be more fun. then tomorrow i'm spending all day with kelsey as we're going to have a huge lord of the rings marathon. we're going to get up in the morning, go grab food someplace to go and take it back with us where we will attempt watching all 3 extended additions in one day. yes, i know i'm cool.

so, for my quidditch update, i'm beginning to get stressed about it all. we've had so many people respond to it, which is really exciting, but lots of people have been coming up and asking to join part it in. which i think would be awesome. however, some of the people we don't really know that well, and so some of our original team members don't want them to join because they'd feel uncomfortable playing against them. which i guess i understand, but i'm getting annoyed of everyone coming to me and asking me what "i'm" going to do about it. some are saying that i should tell them we already have our two teams full and that should be that. which is really irritating me because since i don't actually mind having other teams, i don't feel it should be my responsibility to make enemies by telling people they can't join. but i mean really, if i had heard someone else had thought of the idea of a quidditch team, i definitely would've wanted to join no matter who it was and would be mad if they didn't allow me. so i'm just getting a little overwhelmed with it all. sad. but i'm still really excited, our first match is a week from sunday!

anyways, i'm really excited mary to have you home tonight! yesterday for some reason felt especially weird coming home to an empty house, don't know why, but it made me think how happy i'm going to be to have someone to come home to over the next couple days. and rachel, i'm absolutely dying to hear about your first day with students. mom said it went well but she didn't hear much cause you wanted to skype us. lets make that happen! and lindsey, i love you oodles and i hope i can skype with you sometime this weekend as well. enjoy your labor day weekends, are all of you off?
