Well, my plans for this summer are to go to Bavaria for two months
in an exchange program. I'm kind of nervous about it, you know, will I get along
with this person, what will their house be like, and all that. It'll be for two
months, which is a long time. Then they'll come over to my house for two months!
So if we don't get along, that will be an interesting predicament!! So that's
where I'll be this summer, off in Germany, getting a south german accent!
My
Thanksgiving this year was spent in the Outer Banks, at our family's beachouse.
My immediate family, and 11 other people. Needless to say, it was very
scrunched. :-) Most of Thanksgiving day was spent with me and two of my cousins
fighting with my uncle over the remote to the TV. A whole glorious day of
X-Files on Fx, versus another banal football game. I was winning there for a
while, but then my uncle stole the remote right out of my hand!! When will these
people ever learn?
I've
just received a letter in the mail today, my mother saw it, and said "It looks
like you've recieved something important!" It was packaged in a lovely manilla
envelope with a sticker on the side, saying that if it had been tampered with,
return it to the postmaster. So naturally, I was excited, it's not every day one
recieves a letter like this! As soon as I opened it, I saw the words "You have
won $833,337.00 in cash!!" I was a little excited for a second there, and then
saw the telltale words in the smallest print ever made "If you have and return
the winning numbers." They were even camouflaged into the paper!! I mean,
really, some poor sap probably has seen one of these letters, and then got
extremely excited, calling all his relatives long distance that he had won some
inordinate sum of money, only later to have his joy dashed by the fact that he
was actually the victim of a scam perpetrated by Dick Clark of all people!! And
$833,337 is an odd amount. I wonder how they choose, and say, well this person
isn't good enough to possibly win $850,000, but $800,000 is such a pithy amount,
so let's comprimise!! Ha! Sigh. One of these days I'll get a letter without that
fine print! Really.
