LAST BLOG EVER

This is my last blog ever. I have two days of school left. I have to finish my World History final. I have to take the second part of my trig. final. That is all. I feel very offended, because Ms. Erickson called me a poo poo today. I don’t think I deserved that. I’m going to have to come back in after school is out to finish a video project. Not that thrilled about that, but it will...

Nothing To Write About...

It is true. I have nothing of interest that is blog-worthy. So instead of reading about me, I will leave you all with the lyrics to the delightful Beatles tune, Octopus’s Garden, as sung by Ringo Starr: I’d like to be under the sea in an octopus’s garden in the shade, He’d let us in, knows where we’ve been, in his octopus’s garden in the shade. I’d...

College Schmollege

I have decided that college is completely overrated. Who wants to pay one million dollars to go through four more years of school? Do we actually need to have a “career?” Just kidding of course. But in all seriousness, the hunt for organizations willing to give me money is rather strenuous. Is it too much to ask to not go into debt for my education? I’ve gotten a little more...

So Long Cali...

I have officially been to California. I have officially seen a celebrity. I have officially put my hands in the same place as Tom Hanks. We of HTV (plus some ornery sophomores) attended the delightful, fun-filled, and completely unbiased Student Television Network Convention in Anaheim. It really was a blast, and I’m thrilled that I got to go. I loved touring parts of L.A., seeing places...

Update

I have now begun my last semester of high school. I get absolutely thrilled every time I think about it! But because I’m excited, my last days at Hillcrest will probably choose to drag on forever. I’m thinking of making the time go faster by building a robot self that will complete all my schoolwork, and I will go to sleep until May 18th. Well, I guess I’ll wake up for the...

Thanksgiving!!!

My Thanksgiving was quite enjoyable. The break from school was much needed, after all the effort Kels, Linds, and I put into our last HTV story. I got to see my cousin who I haven’t seen in forever, and we sang Christmas karaoke the whole day long! And of course, I ate double my weight in food, true to tradition. I love mash potatoes, turkey, pie, corn, stuffing, and cookies.

Hi!

How exciting. My first blog as a senior on HTV. I never thought this would come. Now Coach has to listen and help me while neglecting all the lesser juniors. Having the line producer as my story partner doesn’t hurt either. So one of our topic options for this blog is “I”m So Over…” Well you know what I’m over? Yeah, I don’t either. But this was seriously...

Another Year Goes By

Thankfully, the 2008-2009 school year is coming to a close… as slowly as it possibly can. It’s been a fun year though, probably my best at Hillcrest. But enough reminiscing. This summer is what matters, and it just so happens that this summer, I’m turning eighteen! It’s unbelievably exciting! I will now be free to use my flesh as a tattoo canvas, and there is nothing my mom...

Return To Springfield

While it has been lovely getting lots of sleep this weekend, I sort of miss the open road. Especially now that I’m back in school. I don’t think I could choose a favorite moment; there were just so many! I really loved seeing New York for the first time, and I wish we could have had more time there. D.C. was cool, despite the long trek. Not to mention all the hotel fun! :) In short,...

And So It Ends...

Well, this is probably my last blog, unless I have a strange urge to blog early tomorrow morning. It has been a wonderful journey that Eli has taken us on, and I have to say I will miss my constant HTV companions. I have seen a lot more of our lovely country, and stayed in more hotels than I can keep track of. Actually, all the days are starting to mesh together in my brain. The funniest thing...

Mar 28th

Everyone, this is a monumental moment. Our last night in a hotel room on our HTV Spring Break trip. A moment of silence. We drove away from Charlotte this morning, sorrowfully saying goodbye to the lacrosse team also staying there :/. Lindsey and I had a good, simple story, about a soul food restaurant called Merts. The food was amazing: fried chicken, okra, and mac & cheese. We finished...

Bloggety Blog

Our computer is defective. It only works when I’m within ten yards of Coach. Yes, I am indeed sitting outside his room in the Ramada At The Beach. Washington D.C. was really sweet. It was cold, but all the war memorials looked beautiful at night. I really like Thomas Jefferson, and the Korean War. (Love you Papa!) But the best thing was probably the Newseum, which you’ll never guess,...

Mar 25th

I’m sorry to anyone who reads this that I haven’t updated for the past two days. We got to Paramus, NJ Friday evening, and planned on going to New York, but that failed. Not wanting to waste an evening when we could finish our story, Lindsey and I, plus our dear producer Brandon, set out to find a story… in our hotel. I think Mr. Goodwin might be an abnormal lucky-charm, because...

Hi Cleveland, Bye Cleveland

So I’m kind of bummed we’re hardly staying in this lovely town. We have a hotel room triple the size of the one in Chicago, and a fabulous view from the windows. But we’re leaving at nine in the morning, on to our next destination of: NEW YORK! Hooray! Today has been enjoyable. We walked about ten miles in frigid Chicago (Is that city supposed to be windy or something?). The...

Feeling Sickish...

Not sure why, but my allergies have decided to act up at the most inconvenient time. I can’t wait to get to Chicago and find a CVS. In other news, this is the first productive thing I’ve done today, since Lindsey and I don’t have any assignments till tomorrow. My bus time has been spent reading, sleeping, and eating. I can’t wait to get to Chicago and look around...

Tomorrow, Tomorrow...

So…I’m really dumb. I, once again, forgot the password to my blog and have now had to create another one. Both Coach and Mike Tuber will probably want to murder me. It’s such a shame, because I wrote a delightful post on that blog formally known as Chelsea Chat. But alas, that is all you will ever see at cpeebles.tumblr.com, because my friends, I have the memory of a fruit fly....
