A Spontaneous Day

On Monday, I had to work at 8, and go to the high school so that I could be in some pictures of the Top Ten. I woke up early, got ready, and walked over to the school with my younger sister. Upon arriving, I found that the photographer, who is currently our athletic director as well, had not arrived yet, and never arrived early for that matter. So I left, went to work and told Mom to call me if they called home and needed me to come in. So I went to work. I helped watch eleven or twelve little kids, and at twelve fifteen, Mom called and told me to come up to the school. So I got permission from my boss to leave for twenty minutes and I drove over to the high school. I got there, the principal called down the top ten--and there were eight. One decided not to show whatsoever, and the other wasn't going to be there until one. So I left, and went back to work. Meanwhile, my boss didn't realize that she'd only booked me to work until one. So when I got back, getting ready to leave, she had to call someone else to come in, and she asked me to stay until my replacement showed up, for she had to go to her son's field trip. I stuck around until one fifteen, and I told Kendall that I had to leave. So I did, and I arrived at the high school just as they were finishing the pictures, and I managed to get into the last few.

I had to drive the the Summitt County Juvenile Court to pay for SAFTE school, because a couple weeks ago, I got a ticket for reading a map while driving home from school. When I got there, I was completely surprised to see a metal detector in front of me and looked like a complete idiot as I was frazzled and realized that I had neither taken off my ring or my belt buckle after going through the metal detector. I felt completely awkward when when the officer did a scan of my ring, my belt buckle, and then the wire from my bra was also in the register. I then remained frozen in my place until the officer told me that I was free to go, then looked around blindly for any sign that would point me in the right direction toward the "traffic window", as stated on the pamplet I received in the mail. A kind lady at the desk by the metal detector asked me what I needed. I answered pathetically, "I just need to pay for SAFTE school." I must have looked like a fish out of the water."It's right over there."I turned around again, and lo and behold, the coveted saftey window was in my sights. Embarrassed, I paid the money for the class. By 7:30 PM on Wednesday, I will be finished with this entire shinanigan. I promise never to read and drive again.

On my home, I decided to stop at a friend's house: I'd let her borrow two of my dresses so that she'd come to Prom (though she didn't end up coming anyhow). So she was there, I got my dresses, and we decided to go get some coffee at Arabica. On the way out of her developement, we decided to pick up another friend. We just showed up at her door and she decided to come. So we drove to Arabica and got some Mocha and Cappiccino Freezes. And we laughed and and a good time. Near the end, Bridget was combing through my hair with her fingers, and she asked me when the last time was that I dyed my hair. (It hadn't been since August--I'm trying to grow out my natural color) and all of a sudden, she decided that we were going to dye my hair.
We drove to Target and she bought the hair dye. It was $3.14. Then Jessica got some as well.
We drove to my house, and I saw my mother and my sister on their way to Marie's voice lesson, so I knew that my mother wouldn't be at home to talk me out with it.
So we dyed my hair. I was rather nervous because it had been awhile since I dyed my hair. And I got slightly peeved when they accidently got the dye on my face, but other than that, thirty minutes later, I had one color of hair. It's a darker soft brown that looks very natural.
After dinner, Mom decided to go to the dog park at the local walking path and I decided to go along. I brought my mp3 player and ran down the hill from the dog park to the path. Then I just decided to keep running. I ran two miles. And then talked around one more time with Mom and Anna before we went home.

It was a good day.
