Exam Week

Today I have two finals, Geometry and HOPE (which is just a gym class) I have had an insane year in both of these classes so I guess I'll share a few stories.
Geometry is probably my favorite class of the day, I know that sounds awful, but the people are crazy and the teacher is my favorite. I have had the most random experiences in this class. I have come in with poptarts and split the package with my teacher, I've had my class joke about something completely insane that I did, my teacher is an amazing teacher, he's one of the best I've had and this class I'm going to miss.
One day in Geometry, it was the day before a test so we had a study day, I remember putting my head down like I was going to sleep and my teacher says, "Lexi, shouldn't you be studying?" Naturally my reply was, "This is how I study," and he commented, "You have awful studying skills,"  to which a boy in class told him, "Yea, but she has the best grade in the class!" It was funnier if you were there. Another time he was talking to some other students about a surf competition happening that weekend and a boy began trying to convince his friend to go saying, "there will be a ton of girls." To which my teacher said, "There will be a lot of boys too!"
Another great story of my Geometry class, every Monday he asks how our weekends were, and the weekend before I had gone to see The Lorax with my friend and she drew on me, I went to school and when my teacher asked I said I fell asleep and my friend drew on me, he thought I fell asleep at a party.
Yet another, I told my teacher I was going to Disney world and Tampa one weekend when I was talking to him and he blurted out, not meaning it the way it sounded, but his exact words were, "Who are you sleeping with?" and he said it very loudly as I was sharpening a pencil, to which I fell to the ground laughing. I know the stories are kind of lame but the class was great and I'm going to miss it.
Now for HOPE. In HOPE I have my best friend Amanda, she and I are both in good shape and go to the gym plenty (although Amanda goes a lot more than me) and although we both are in good shape, our usual activity is walking, and avoiding doing real work. And we probably have some of the lowest grades in there to be honest. It's not that we're unfit, it's that we hate sports. She and I in gym are a dangerous combination, in seventh grade gym was where we met and we would walk around slowly with my MP3 player blasting Teenagers and yelling the lyrics, and we would crazily do whatever. Now we just have the weirdest conversations in class with our friend Liz who I call Beth half the time. We all swing dance and so in the middle of class we'll begin dancing out of nowhere acting completely insane, but that's us.
Well, I have shared some amazing class stories and I may share more at a later time, who knows.

Hello, I'm Sick

I'm back. I'm sorry for the whole thing with not being on much. I feel like crap today. I don't know how, maybe it's sharing food or being huggy with my friends, but I got sick. I find it hilarious that my best friend (and the other side of my brain) git the exact same problem though, sorry Amanda, we can laugh at each other's suffering.
Amanda and I are a lot alike though, we share a brain, I'm the right artistic side and she's the left mathematical side. One of our friends was texting and asked if we're always together, of course we are! If we weren't we'd die because we wouldn't be able to use half our brains.
And anyways, I don't know if it's a cold or really bad allergies but I will survive! I've finally moved back into my room too. I was staying in my dad's office because we're doing construction in my room, and we're almost done! Just  few little things in my room.
And I finally put all 40 pictures and drawings and paintings back on my walls. a few are grouped up, otherwise the number would be higher. I draw and paint a lot, I can't help it.
So, I've wasted enough of your time this lovely evening, good day.
And now I leave you with a picture of Homer Simpson being taken to a mental hospital.

Life Lessons From A Pessimist

so, since I have absolutely nothing else to do, I'll write a few things about life.
  • Life sucks to a point.
  • Life is a curse and a blessing, sometimes everything sucks, but others it's epic.
  • When life gives you lemons add alcohol and have a party.
  • Life is full of choices, take the weirder one, it makes life more interesting.
  • Hair dye alone is a reason to live, having had my hair about 10 billion different colors, I would know.
  • Life is gonna suck sometimes. Just put your middle finger in the air and fix whatever is broken.
  • Life is short.
  • Oh, and I'm pretty sure the meaning of life is chocolate.
That's about all the life philosophy  I have for you today. Bye.

My Coffee Brownies

I know I don't usually put up baking type stuff, as in recipes, but I felt like sharing this cause I've made it so many times. I'll be honest, it's based off a recipe I go online, but I made little alterations. This isn't my own creation, it's an altered recipe. Although I changed a good amount.
2 cups raw sugar or coconut sugar (or white sugar if that's what you have around)
1 cup butter
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 cup flour (all purpose taste best, but whole wheat works)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8-1/4 instant coffee, depends on the taste you want

Melt the butter
Put it all in a bowl
Mix it together
Bake at 350
There's not an exact time, cause well, I've made them in small pans, wide pans, cup cake pans, so until it's thoroughly cooked. Test with a toothpick like they did in the old days.
Coffee is optional, but what loser is gonna leave it out...

Here's the original:

Oh! And if you add something, tell me! I made these for my Latin class.

Dear World, I apologize for not posting. I have been super tired. I need a little inspiration. Leave me some comments. For now, here are some pictures of fish.
