*:.YESTERDAY.:* 

Sorry about missing yesterday!! I wanted to wait till the end of the day to write the entry and then i forgot!

Got up later...and then went swimming with Sophie and Martin. Then we played computer games and stuff like that....got back into Sims mode...hehe Then I read some of my book...I'm almost done! It's a good book, and I like reading it! There was a line that said: "Men have the power of choice, but women have the power of refusal" Steph--i think that you would like that!!

Then everyone started preparing for the party! We had the party because it's the last night for a lot of people! Martin is leaving and The Gossls are leaving too. So then, my grandfather came with his wife, Jeanne, and then Shana and Tasha, my "aunts" and I got a shawl from Scotland! Then Miles and Melissa and MAYA came!!! She is big and is soo cute now! (she's just a baby) She always came to me, so that I could pick her up!

Dinner was  yummy! We had some really good BBQ chicken and some Romanian sausages! WE had some salad and some corn on the cob....hehe yay! Dessert was chocolate chip cookies and TOFFIFE!!! (from german camp last year STEPH!!!!!!)

Then Martin had to go to bed, and he slept in my room, but on the floor next to my bed. So then all the girls went and watched Monster Inc....hehehe It was funny! Then it was like midnight and we all went for a swim! We turned off all the lights and had the color changing pool lights on! it was awesome! Then Sophie and Dorothy came and slept in my room too, so we had like a mini party...heehee It was a fun day.....

.:*TODAY*:.

got up late and played with furbies....hehe When they finally went to sleep again, we all got up and got dressed...now I'm writing this... and then i'll have some breakfast. Martin is leaving in the Evening and THe Gossls leave at three...

dAyS tIlL sChOoL lEfT: 3 ahhhhhhh

Hey!! Today was a long day!! I got up early, although  I  tried to sleep later... hehe.

Had almost NO breakfast and then we went to Westport again to the beach!! This time there were no waves and the water was calm. It was a little bit colder! I went a little bit into the water and then I went and lay on the sand... I read my book, which was good, because I need to finish it! Then the waves got bigger and better and I went Boogie Boarding for almost 2 hours! It was awesome!!

Then we went back to my grandma's house and we had a lobster dinner again! I only had a claw, and then I had some steak....heehee (im basically a carnivore!) jkjkjk! Then I read some more and then we drove home...and we just got back!! I can't wait to sleep!!

....YESTERDAY SHOPPING.... I forgot about this! Shopping was really fun yesterday! I bought this make-up bag from Sephora! It is so cute! It's blue and has a lady on it.

Then I got this adorable little sweater from Aeropostale with a little monkey on it! Maybe Paul was right.....I do have something with monkies! Then I got these cool pants with hawaiian flowers on them for only 7.00$!!! They were just my size and in the sale part! That was cooL!! Then I obviously got some candy from the Sweet Factory...of course!!

URGhh....get up really early today!! And like 7:00....even though I'm not at school yet.... so I'm kinda sleepy.... heehee

Well..came home late last night after a pretty short game, the RED SOX won!!!  yay! I was so annoyed, my dad almost caught a ball, but the man next to him had longer arms..... > arghhhh O well....the game was still pretty exciting. Some nice hits and home runs.....I had a big gooey slice of pizza and SOME FRIED DOUGH....hehehe

Today after a really short breakfast, the Gossls and I went for a Boston Duck Tour!

Yah, I know I'm from Boston but i went with some people and it was pretty funny! We had a purple one, but I forget the name! OUr captain was Captain Covert and he was funny. He dressed in Camoflage, but it was purple! Everyone got a chance to drive the duck when it was in the water and i was going all over the place! It was kinda hard to steer!! hehe

Then we went to the Prudential for a bit, but no that long! We went into a dance shop and some of the dresses are so cute!!

Then we went to the Isabella Gardner Museum, and it is so beautiful there. I haven't been there in a while! We walked around a little bit and then we went back home. It felt like a looong drive!!

We had some spaghetti and now i'm going swimming! Late we're going to the BURLINGTON MALL!!!!! YAY!!!  I haven't been there in forever!!! Hope they have good stuff!!

gtg--swimming!

OK....Today I got up really late and had a pretty big breakfast....hehe! Then I played on the computer and checked my e-mail. NOTHING EXCITING!! Nothing from german camp friends, and nothing from normal friends! *sniff *sniff I feel so neglected!!

MY SCHOOL!!!

Then I went over all these school papers with my mom! THere's no dress code....and we get a really nice hot lunch! heehee And they put hot drinks out for us in the morning!! Can't wait!

BUt:: SUMMER READING!!! I didn't know about French reading, so i still have to read this stupid book about some kid whos parents died.... Le Voleur de l'enfant or something like that! UrgghghHH!! I'm still on my 2nd book and I have to read David Copperfield! It's so LONG! How am I supposed to finish it all?!?!?!?!  O well....I will manage somehow.....

BUt I'm so pissed!! They say that we're gonna have a ton of homework, but then the school day ends at 5:30 because of SPORTS!!!!!!!! WHY DOES SPORTS HAVE TO BE SOOO LONG???? I HATE IT. I'll get home at like six and then i have to do my homework!! I'll have to see what it's like! I might get a sports waiver, because you're allowed to if you are really serious in the Arts. And since I play the piano and harp, that should be enough!

Enough about that! Tonight I'm going to a RED SOX GAME!!!! whoppeee! Gotta go and get ready!!

~Madi~

Hey!! GOOD LUCK TODAY TO EVERYONE AT LINCOLN!!!!! I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!!

ok....apart from that....went to Cambridge, Harvard Square...yay. We walked around, and then went to eh Fogg Museum....whoopdedoo!! I read my summer book though, since i've already been there 3 times! Then my little cousin gave me a present of this little heart! It was so cute!

Then went to a book store and I bought this adorable calendar!! It has pictures of dogs, but the dogs are made out of differnt fruits! heeehee

Then we went and had some yummy ice cream...even my mom had it!! It was good!

Today I got the school packet with the calendar and it was cool to look at it!! NO DRESS CODE!!!! heehee I'm kinda freaked out about school though and BIVOUAC!!

Ok gtg--going to THAI FOOD!

OK so yesterday before dinner, the doorbell rang....so i went and got it and it was this other German family with 3 girls! We didn't know when they would come, so it was a big surprise!! They have 3 girls, which is cool, because only boys have been around me now! But the problem is....we dont have enough bedrooms for everyone!! So we had to kick some boys to my moms office, so that the pple could sleep in the tower!

So the night was eventful....but this morning was even more! I got up pretty early and had a big breakfast. Then Sophie and I played some croquet and then played some more computer!! Then we played some tennis, although I'm not that good.... And THEN we went swimming. We stayed there for such a long time!! Benny and I always threw Martin into the pool! hehe

Then we went and had some lunch and basically thats all! we're gonna have some steak for dinner...yay!   

Today got up early, and since i am used to the Boston time, it was also early for me!! We went whale watching, except didnt see that much! BUt it wasn't that bad- we saw the backs of whales and the water that they shoot out all the time.... o well. It was really windy there and on the way back to the city everyone slept!!

Then we went to Quincy market and got some food!  Then i went into origins and saw that it was really expensive! Stephanie told me that it was cheap in Hong Kong....better ask her...

Ok that was basically all we did today, so it was very uneventful!!

Sorry that I missed yesterday, but we went to the beach at Westport and we left and 9:00 and came back at 10, so i was kinda tired.....

Well we got up early and had a really quick breakfast! Then we all separated into 3 different cars, because there are so many pple visiting!! I was in the same car as my mom and 2 friends from Germany, Ute and Frank. I was separted from my cousin Martin....yay! I love him and he's adorable, but he can really get on your nerves. He alwayz following me!!

It took a while to get there because the roads were really busy! When we did we went to my grandma's westport house and only stayed a little, untill everyone wsa ready to go to the BEACH!! We drove there and then set up all our stuff in a nice clean area. We brought so much stuff! Lots of food in coolers and stuff... then we went into the water!! The waves were pretty big and rough and i got tumbled at the beginning!! hehe Then i went and read more of my book, which is getting really suspensful! But then after eating and siting in the sun,  i went back into the water! The waves had calmed down a bit, but there were a lot of big ones! I went boogie boarding and got really far!!! It was awesome

Steph-- I wore the hat that you gave me!

Then we went back to my grandams house and the kids and i played tennis and met some of the neighbors dogs. we played with them for a while untill dinner which was yummy. Homemade hamburgers and also corn on the cob and lobsters! I was so full afterwards!! Then we drove back home and i fell asleep. The drive seemed so long!!!

Well that was yesterday.....and now for today... dont worry not that much to say!

*got up *ate *went biking *drove the go cart * READ * played the computer and played with martin, since i am his babysitter untill everyone gets back since they all went somewhere!!! SO THAT WAS PROBABLY A LONG ENTRY!!!

~Madi~

OK....went swimming today for the first time since i got back....and it was great. i swam for a long time, but i got tired in the end.

Then we played croquet and i came in third...but o well...and then we went to CHINESE FOOD at last!! yay! the buffet was really good and i ate so much!

Then we came back and i drove my go cart with my little cousin for a while, but now he's driving with the german boy. My go cart has some problems though, like it doesnt go backwards anymore which is a problem!

We're gonna finish a movie "Entrapment" now, since we couldn't last night!!

Got up early today again....but i think that i'm starting to get used to the time zone! I think i was kinda dazed off last night becuase i asked the same question twice to Miranda.....which was about summer reading.....  

I havn't started any of them yet, because they never sent me a reading list and i had to get it from the website!! I've chosen my books: David Copperfield by Dickens, Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, and Moonstone by some Collins guy. But they all sound good, so i hope that i will be able to read them!! I had to force my self to read "geeks" last year!!! AHH what an AWEFUL BOOk!!!!

AND SOME MORE SCHOOL STUFF.....i found out that: i'm in melissa's bio class, in nikki's french class, and in miranda's french, english and ceramics for 2nd art!! YAY! I'm so happy! I hope that i will be switched into Drama though, because i am so sick of chorus!! My mom is talking to Mr. Benke today, so i hope that it will work! Really DO NOT WANT TO BE STUCK IN CHORUS AGAIN! ZZZZzzzzz hehe

Well yesterday i had an orthodontist appointment, which made my mouth really sore!! And today at 10:00 i have a dentist appointment! Why?? WHY?? WHY??? I'm always stuck with dentist stuff! And then I'll have to finish cleaning my room and then start my reading and them eventually this family from Germany will come and stay some more.... ANY LINCOLN PEOPLE remember the boy that came to school with me in sixth grade for a day?? He's coming back, but not going to school....haha!! 

Then my little cousin from England is coming! he's so cute, except i havn't seen him in such a long time!

gtg--go to breakfast!!
