I don't know how many people write about school, but I'll tell you this, because everyone likes to laugh.

Today, Eric, Jonathan and I were doing grammar. Mom was reviewing things we had learned, and for an exercise she would start a sentence, and one of us had to finish it.
To me, Mom said "If I were you, I'd-"
I answered, "If I were you, I'd try to hurry up and finish the lesson!"
I was just joking, of course, but that sent everyone ( even Mom) laughing. Then Eric starts yelling:

"BETHANY FOR presi-DENT!!
BETHANY FOR presi-DENT!!
NEVER MIND MIKE HUCKABEE!!
BETHANY FOR presi-DENT!!"

I laughed so hard, I started to cry. That's never happened to me before.

Tonight, Mom is driving Aaron, Eric, and me to Connecticut. We have a Round robin to go to there. Don't ask me why it's called that, it's just a pretend speech and debate tournament. First though, we have to meet a young man's mother somewhere so we can bring him down to CT with us. Then we have to drop him off to the house where he is staying. We'll spend the night at a hotel, then get up early to go to the Round Robin.
I am doing a speech, and I'm sort of nervous, because this is my first tournament, fake or no fake. Eric is doing debate with a partner, and Aaron is debating by himself.
We'll drive 2 hours back up here, but we're not going home. Oh no. We'll have two girls coming up with us, and we have to meet their mother in Nashua to drop them off. We have to pick up the rest of our clan, and they will be at the Bourrets' house. We'll stay to watch the football game, and then we finally will drive home. Don't ask me when we are going to bed, but whenever it is, we have church in the morning...
I'm getting tired just writing about this weekend.
