There was just great war and termoil in the Wickman household. Thousands, actually millions, of flying creatures swarming the ceiling and wall of my living room trying to attack me. It was about 11:30 pm and I was at the computer. I kept swatting at the nasty bugs that were attracted to light of the computer. This went on for about an hour. Later I turned to look at the TV and what I saw was an unbelievable sight. It was a black cloud that appeared to be a cloud of black smoke, but no, it was a cloud of insects. They were crawling on the ceiling and the walls and flying into the lamp never to return. Scared, I pulled out the big guns... The vacuum cleaner! I could see the bugs shutter with fear at the sound of there imminent danger. With the hose I sucked the insects into their grave. It took about 40 minutes to get most of them. I must have looked ridiculous dashing around the living room striking at each individual attacker. By the time I gave up, there were probably about 50 left. Back to the computer. About 10 minutes later, they were back... with vengeance! I swear they started attacking me! I repeated the whole war a second time. I won. However, my theory is that they are currently living inside of the vacuum cleaner mating and making plans to attack again. In a matter of time they will have trained the babies against me. They are going to get me. This is my impending doom.

Vote for Jill!

I recently went to prom with some friends at a local highschool. My friend Jill and her friend Chad entered a contest to go to prom in duct tape in order to win scholarship money. Her entire outfit as well as the tux are made of duct tape. I was wondering if you could help her out. All you have to do is cast your vote at http://www.stuckatprom.com/. Go to the 2006 entries. She is on the third page, and she is in the middle of the second line from the bottom. The picture she submitted looks exactly like the one I have shown. Underneath her photo is a box that says "cast your vote". Check the box and click the button at the top of the page that says "submit your vote". Then enter your e-mail address. Anyway, voting starts today, June 16, and goes through June 25th. If you could help her out, I know she would greatly appreciate it. It doesn't take long, so please help her out!

So, for all of you inquiring minds, I'm pretty sure I got the job at Barns and Noble. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm kinda sure. The head manager/interviewer said she's call Monday to tell me when I'd be working and stuff. The problem we had was that there really is no job to give anymore.When I had my first interview there was a job available, but then there's this transfer from a BandN in Virginia who is taking the job, but when I had my 2nd interview, the lady said that she wanted to hire me even if it was for like 5 hours at first. The other option she gave was not starting at all until I get back from Mexico. This option is good because then I get to go to Mexico both weeks! yay for Mexico!
Anyway, there you have it...
So yeah, school's out!!!! Guess who got a 100% on her Algebra exam....... if you guessed Kathryn, you get a cookie! I got all A's on my exams! Yahooooooooo!!!!

Tomorrow's my last day of school!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to Jill's house and I'm going to burn all my 10th grade memories. I want to forget 10th grade so bad! It's gonna be a sweet summer. Sleeping in, taking naps, hanging out with friends, hanging out with the church peeps, taking more naps, hanging out again, staying up late, working (ok, tha's not the good part), and sleeping in again the next day! Anf of course we can't forget the good ole laying out and getting a tan!
So far exams are going OK. I've get A's and A-'s on all 4 sor far. I haven't studied for Spanish or Algebra yet.... I'm too much of a procrastinator! That's something I plan to change before 11th grade. I kind of slacked too much this year... I was too apathetic and I didn't have a sibling to compete with me by getting a better GPA.
I miss Ben, he left on Saturday...... But I've talked to him like 3 times since he's been gone.

I have an interview at Barns and Noble in 1/2 hour!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

So, life had been interesting lately with such an array of emotions that I can't begin to explain or understand. I thank my Yale friends for being so awesome, and I thank God for blessing me with friends that are going to stick around and not like me for my brother. This happens sometimes....
what has happened as of late? Well, I'm horribly sick and tired of McDonald's! There's so much drama about who's sleeping with who and who cheated on who on our team. And we're talking like ages 16-22. The other day I was one of two people who came in that wasn't either hung over or intoxicated! Again, 16-22. Our manager is the 22. Everyone else is in high scool. The truth is, I think I'm being poorly influenced at McDonald's. I am being negatively influenced more than I care to admit and positively influencing others much less than I should be. Not only is there all that drama, but I'm just tired of the job. I'm afraid that I'm going to be one of those people who can't put up with things or hold down a job just because I'm tired of it. There are a few things that I'll miss, though. I have two casual friends there that are awesome and that I don't want to leave, and there are others who are cool dispite the many problems they have. And then there's always the free food. And they do usually work around my schedule. I don't know.....
I have an interview with Barns and Noble tomorrow at 4:00, so hopefully I'll be able to make a good desicion. They pay more, but will they let me go t Mexico and work around my sometimes hectic schedule? If they say no to Mexico then I will say no to them. As much as I want the job, I want Mexico more.
Anyway, right now life is Ok. I'm happy. I'm am however, horribly fed-up with a few of my rediculous teachers and their classes. I'm thinking about talking to Miss Shimmel (the principle). I never do stuff like that, so you must know that it's really that bad.
School's out for the year on June 9th and then I have a party with Jill! I have to freaking work from 4-12:30 on Saturday. There goes my much needed sleep! I've had about 12 hours the past 3 days, which for me, is nothing.
Ben is leaving Saturday too. I'm going to miss him, but I'm getting good atr this saying goodbye to him thing.
Enough for now..
