Daily Outlines 11/6 and 11/7

Like Spencer, I'm having trouble at the moment with even outlines, so I'm going to go even more minimalist and do just greatest hits, leaving out anything not too important. Hopefully that'll help me get around to blogging a little more often. I do like having these daily records.

November 6th

-In math was in class group problem sets involving using logs. No one finished, and I went to the math center with another guy from my group to finish. I ended up helping him with the stuff I'd already done and left as confused as I arrived. I have since continued to try to figure it out, but I don't even have any idea where I went wrong, much less what I might do to fix it. I think I'll go to my instructor's office hours on Monday.

-Philosophy was kind of boring. Still didn't grade our quizzes from last week.

- German, talked about noun cases. They have Nominative, Genitive, Dative, and Accusative, all of which mean just what I would expect. My teacher made me kind of infuriated when he used the sentence "The man threw the football to the kid" as an example of an indirect object. I know why he did, I totally get it, but still. That is an object of the preposition. Not an indirect object. Luckily I contained my frustration and didn't say anything, but I was thinking of Heidi the whole time (she is known in our Latin classes for getting annoyed at the textbook for making that very error).

-I hung out and ate lunch then when to the library to volunteer. Got a ride home with Gloria.

-Wrote, ate dinner, watched Lost.

November 7th

-Got up, did some math homework (I have gotten kind of behind and I need to get caught up before the next test).

-Went to the YARC meeting, another small group today. Got two books, one of which I'm pretty excited about.

-Went to my grandmother's house for lunch, because my aunt was in town and it was recently Isabelle's birthday.

-While we were there, I interviewed my grandmother for my Philosophy class, which was very interesting.

-Went home, did a little more homework, wrote, watched Doctor Who and Lost.

August 30 - September 5, 2015

Sunday, August 30th

Sunday morning, we woke up and there was power! Yay! Mom tried to clean up the tree debris a bit, then we went to pick up my friend HW. Mom dropped us both off at NV's house. For a few hours, we played some games (including The Resistence!) with N and his brother and his brother's friends. Then the three of us hung out for a while and chatted about stuff. I love hanging out with them, but there were a few moments when I distinctly noticed the fact that I was the only girl there. It doesn't bother me to hang out with boys all the time, and most of my closest friends are boys, but there are rare moments where I feel a little out of place. 

Carolyn picked H and I up and dropped me at the house where I was babysitting. For the next three hours, I played with the kids, then the dad dropped me off at my house. When I got there, Lydia was there! The Winslows still didn't have power, so she was staying at our house.

Monday, August 31st

I got up and didn't do much for most of the morning. I did some random chores around the house, read, played some games on the computer. Lydia and I went to the library to volunteer at 3. When we were done there, we walked downtown to get drinks at Cafe Adagio, then took a bus back to Haggen, where mom picked us up. Because the Winslows still were out of power, Lydia stayed another night.

Tuesday, September 1st

Again, a pretty boring day. Lydia left in the early afternoon. 

Wednesday, September 2nd

The morning was pretty slow. I went to park day, where there was a torrential rain storm, thunder, and lightening. That was exciting.

Thursday, September 3rd

The morning was again rather quiet. In the afternoon, we went to our dad's house for dinner. We had some left over cake, since it was our step-brother's birthday on Wednesday. 

Friday, September 4th

We spent the morning cleaning up all the debris from the tree. We hauled a bunch of stuff in our neighbor's trailer to a place the city had set up for people to dump storm debris. We went to Boomer's for lunch, then came home to do stuff around the house. Mom and I went to WCC to buy books before realizing they aren't open on Fridays in the summer (augh!). None of us were at all hungry for dinner, so we just ate popcorn while watching Lost.

Saturday, September 5th

The guy who was doing our carpet came back to finish. I was at YARC, where we had pizza and cake, because it's our one year anniversary! Mom couldn't come pick me up til the carpet guy left, so I had to wait for another hour and a half after the meeting ended. On the bright side, I read 135 pages of the book I got! It's super fantastic.

Thursday August 27, 2015 {Larrabee}

1. Mom left for work, and then I didn't do much for a while, then showered and got dressed.

2. Isabelle left to volunteer with the cats, and I baked some cookies. (gluten free oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies).

3. I also went through the books that got damaged with the mold and water stuff, and made a list. I'm posting it in parts on my other blog, part one went up today!

4. Julie picked us up and (after picking up a few boys from another house) we headed to Larrabee state park. I hadn't been there at all this summer, and the weather was great, so it was really nice down there.

5. We wandered around the beach, looked at crabs, pushed each other off of logs, and ate lots of popcorn and cookies and grapes. Julie took a ton of really great pictures of us, and we did lots of poses on the logs.

6. We dropped the three boys off at Cosmic Comics for some Magic thing, and then Isabelle and I got dropped off at our dad's house.

7. We had dinner there (steak) and then went to Pure Bliss Deserts downtown. I got Chocolate Salted Caramel, which is definitely my favorite of their cakes.

8. We went home, watched Lost (we're re-watching it with Isabelle now. It's mom's 4th time, my 2nd, Isabelle's 1st), read The Time Traveler's Wife, and went to bed.

Today felt like the last hurrah of summer. The weather is supposed to be getting cold and rainy for a while, which is good in a lot of ways (we really need this rain!) but it's also sad. I like the dry, warm weather. Plus, with mom back at work, and rain coming, it really feels like the end of the summer.

My Favorite Things: TV Shows

I talk a lot about books on here, but reading isn't the only thing I do. I thought that today, I'd share a list of my favorite TV shows, both ones that are currently airing, and ones from the past. It will be divided into a few sections. No spoilers, I promise.

Shows I'm Currently Watching

1. Once Upon A Time. I'm about 3/4 of the way through the first season, and am happy with it so far. I'll admit I was pretty excited to see Emilie de Raven as Belle, who is in two other shows on this list. :)


Here is Belle:

2. Lost. Sorry, I'm not going to find a picture for this one, because I am way too scared of spoilers. I am half way through Season 4, and do NOT want any of it spoiled. Emilie de Raven played Claire here.

Well, here is one of Claire and Aaron.


3. Downton Abbey. I love Downton Abbey, but I'm finding Season 4 a little painful (don't worry, no spoilers here) so far. I just watched the fourth episode, and my heart goes out to poor Anna. :'(

Here is an image from Season 1 or 2. I loved their clothes in the early years!

Shows I've Seen in the Past

4. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm a huge Buffy fan.

5. Angel. This goes along with the previous show.

6. Sherlock. I didn't put this under currently watching since I'm technically not watching it, I'm just waiting for the next season to come out!


Some Other Good Shows
These shows are ones I really liked, but would not say I absolutely loved.

7. Eureka. This show is a lot of fun. I didn't love the first season, but they get better. The last season is a bit of a roller coaster, though.

There were better pictures from later seasons, but Nathan Stark is in this one! :)

8. Roswell. This has an honorary spot on this list, as it is really the first show that I watched all the way through. It's also the first time I saw Emilie de Raven, who here plays Tess, the character you love to hate.
 



I know Tess was in the one above, but here's one with just her:



And one just for fun. If you haven't watched the show, then sorry, you probably won't get this:

I want this! lol
