Blueberries

I love blueberries, in case you don't know, and it seems that the Chinese do, too. Who would have thought it? You can get everything blueberry flavored, even potato chips. (see What the Snack is That? blog post "Even Emma Won't Eat Them.") But anyway at one point I was obsessed about how you could never find blueberry ice cream, and I even made my own blueberry ice cream. Then, when we went to the Coldstone Creamery and they had blueberry ice cream, so I just had to get some. It was calling to me... Anyway, I'm just hoping that they also have an obsession for fresh blueberries.

Added later:
By the way, there's also blueberry gum. It's actually pretty good.

Laptops

We have to buy these Apple laptops from the school because they're starting some new program (but we have to wait until the end of the semester to actually get them) but anyway I'm excited because I love Garage Band. It's fun. Not that I'm any good at actually putting good songs together. I have to figure that one out...

Anyway that's what I'm thinking about right now. But mostly what I want the laptops for is so everyone can use the computer and we don't have to wait for someone else to get off when we need to do homework.

happy

I'm happy.

We went to IKEA the other day and now I'm happy because we got some new furniture and now it feels a little bit more like home. I love IKEA! But anyway the thing I'm the happiest about right now is that it's the mid-Autumn festival and we got a day off of school.

It's weird because whoever furnished our apartment gave us kids a twin bed, a full bed, and a queen bed, and decided to put the queen and full in my and Allyne's bedroom and the twin in John's, so we literally have about ten square feet of floor space. We're going to switch out the beds so John gets the queen, I get the full, and Allyne gets the twin (so we have more floorspace) but I'm going to miss that queen bed because it's really cozy and I can stretch out as much as I want. The full bed is about as hard as a rock, so I tried to get Mom to buy me a nice mattress from IKEA, but she wouldn't. Anyway I got a nice douvee set from IKEA. It's not the one I wanted (there was one nice blue-and green one I saw in Tempe) but we got this other one and I really want to get it out and set up my bed but we have to deal with the bed-switching situation first and I'm really impatient.

To School!

We finally started school on Monday. It feels kind of weird to be going to school, after getting used to three whole months without school. The school is pretty nice. I think that it isn't quite as good as normal high schools on the classes it offers, but the other students are a ton nicer. I mean, they seem to reach out to other students more, or at least accept them. I've already started making some friends (the Asians are really nice.) I can't figure out if I can be in grade eleven math, though...

It's really confuzing since we don't have all of the same classes every day. Like, we have two periods of English three days a week. It's really weird. I like Chinese class, though. It's my favorite.

By the way please comment! pleasepleaseplease!!!
