freedom

i put in my 2 weeks at mcdonalds today. that felt good. if i ever get another job like that i really need to do a better job of getting them my schedule ahead of time. other than that i learned how to make every single mcdonalds sandwich, the special sauce on a big mac is really just thousand island dressing, half price on the dollar menu is the shizzle (im gonna miss that) and finally how a kitchen without isa is like a person without a soul. ill have the month of may pretty much freed up then. i thought that was best, its my last month at home, living with my parents like i always have been so i figured id spend it with some more free time. plus i was sick of it. i cant wait for camp and college, even though now i have something back home that im really gonna miss. oh well, life goes on.
Ephesians 2:4-5 But because of his great love for us God who is rich in mercy made us alive in Christ, even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved.

braces AND a girlfriend

wow, if you want to read me being emo scroll down to that last post. that was crazy, but i miss camp, but i guess i was there, even if not in bodily form. anyways so in case all you guys are wonderin whats up with my life well yeah those top two things pretty much sum it up. i just got back from the orthodontist and im getting braces on the 25th prolly, i gotta check some scheduling and such to see if it all works but yeah, thats the plan. i got into the whole orthodontist thing late so yeah, i get braces this summer and college instead of earlier. oh well, ill have straight teeth. and on a better note, me and the beautiful leah younk are now dating. so yeah, schleef has a girlfriend. anyways in case your wondering how that all went down. i guess it goes like this. i met her when i was hangin out with leah schlect at wsma and we talked and it was cool. i saw her again at wisco's musical when i went with igl and aaron to see it (she had the lead). so i talked to her a little more and then we set up a date at applebees and that went really well and we had another one where we just went to her house and played video games and watched the movie, "from hell" so yeah, i got a girlfriend who likes violent movies and video games. this rocks. she is so cool. she goes to wisco, loves jesus, doesnt want to have sex till marriage, went to camp as a camper and loved it. shes a good kid. shes also korean if that matters to any of you and wels which should. (i didnt know we had any koreans either.) its still pretty new and im excited. in the words of adam igl,
peace out brotha

wishing i was at camp

so i was supposed to go to the teen retreat this weekend. obviously im not there and heres why. i took a creative writing class as an extra english credit this semester so i already had all the credits i needed to graduate. the class was tough so instead of trying hard on it i pretty much blew it off. so natually i ended up with an f on my quarter report card. my parents looked at this and said that i was grounded and couldnt go to camp. this bothered me most of all cuz all my other grades were As and Bs except for an incomplete in my mandatory english class world lit. but that was just because i had been sick and needed to make up a quiz. i made that up and that should be up to either a b plus or a minus depending on how the quiz went. so i just talked to my mom about visiting friend whose grandma just died even though im grounded. she said no and yelled at me for this quite a bit about how i dont care about anything except myself. her reasoning for this is that her and my dad work very hard for me to go to kettle and then i just blow it off which means i dont care about them. they know this cuz they see a report card with 8 letters on it and one of those is a study hall so its really only 7. i know she was just blowing off steam because she was very angry about the F but it really showed me how little me and my mom understand each other. i know she doesnt really think that all i care about is myself and i know that she loves me. she thinks i would show my love for her by doing well in school but i dont understand that at all. doesnt doing well in school only benefit me? maybe i just need to grow up a little. actually its not a maybe and i need to grow up a lot. doing well in school as well as everything else is prolly a good start. since starting to write this she says i can go see my friend if i clean my room and get some homework done, i guess taking some time to cool off helped us both out. time to get to work.
