New Moon/Grades

So yesterday New Moon came out here in Spain and my friends and I went to the first showing. It seems really strange that it would come out in another language before it comes out in English, but oh well. My friends were really concerned that I wouldn't be able to understand the movie, but I assured them that it didn't matter. I mean, I've seen the first movie enough times to know that what the characters say really isn't all that important. I wanted to see the movie because Taylor Lautner plays Jacob and Jacob is in the second book more than Edward! So we went to the theater and apparently one girl was sick and so she gave her ticket to a boy in my class named Alberto. Hahahaha!!! Poor boy! The only boy in a group of 9! During the movie we sat next to each other and we enjoyed watching the faces of the girls when Jacob comes out without a shirt on and with his new haircut. Wow they basically freaked out! After the movie that's all they could talk about! They all said that they are coming to America to meet Taylor Lautner. I unfortunately had to inform him that he's mine and they need to find another celebrity to like. One girl couldn't stop talking about his muscles and today when I came to school, she was still talking about it. Oh boy! Well it turns out that I understood almost the whole movie because it's not hard to understand, "Bella I need you" "Bella I will never hurt you" "No, I will not turn you into a vampire".
Well anyway today the grades came out for first term and I'm kind of upset. I mean I'm in another country and I didn't expect to get as good of grades, but I'm still disappointed. My spanish teacher failed me and I have to idea why because after every test we had he never put a grade on the top. So that was a bit of a shocker! My other grades were these... History B, Economy B-, Spanish F, Tech B, Math A- (best in the class), English A (I would have been really mad if I didn't get that grade!), Science B-, Philosophy B- (that one I'm really proud of!), PE- B (he doesn't ever give out A's). The comments from the teachers were pretty good. Most of them either said that I'm trying and there's room for improvement, or that they love having me in their class. We got our grades and then we had PE right after and that's when the fun started! One girl started yelling at the teacher because she got an 8 (B+)! He started yelling back saying that she got the best grade in the class and she shouldn't be complaining. Then she said that my friends (the rest of the girls) don't do anything and they got the same grade as her (which isn't true). It's always so much fun to watch those kinds of fights between teachers and students! So that's what's been happening around here!

  2. haha! Madi, although I disapprove of your Twilight obsession, at least you can agree that the only reason people like it is for the "physical" aspect. My friends here are constantly denying it. They say, "It's a horrible movie, but for some reason I love it." Duh!!! The reason is that it is portraying your wildest dreams while you're still conscious!
    Love you!
