Days 47 and 48

Day 47- Count sheep and remember how many it takes before you fall asleep- I put my little brother to sleep last night and honestly we fell asleep talking about a mixture of whale facts and the zoo we're going to build someday. It was late and I bet it would have taken me very many sheep, but you never know. I'll have to try it on normal night and report back.
Day 48- First Impressions
Today's instructions told us to hand someone the book and inside there's a paragraph saying "hello, please write down what your first impression of me was, blah blah this isnt a direct quote, if you dont want me to read it in front of you just close the book when you're done and I'll read it later."
I really did plan on stepping outside of my comfort zone and doing this today. I brought the book with the page marked and a pen clipped to the cover. I kept my eyes out for a totally random person that looked at me that might do it but I was in school and there isnt time for stuff like that. People are walking down the hall to get to class. It just didnt work out. I went to the bank afterschool and I considered handing the book to the bank teller, but I figured that would just be a really really bad idea. So instead I messaged a bunch of my friends/ somewhat friends from my school on Facebook and asked them "I know this is random, but what was your first impression of me?" I met all these kids last year so I'm sure they'll remember what they first thought. And I know that people may not want to say what they really thought because I used to be a lot more shy than I am now and that was probably what their first impression of me was, this was the best I could come up with. So I just got home and I have a bunch of facebook messages and I havent read them yet but I'm going to post them one by one as I do. Here goes!
Oh before I do, this may not count but I want to document these anyways, I recently had conversations with two of my friends about first impressions and this is what they said:
Mia-
I thought you wore really cool clothes
Micah-
I thought you had nice teeth
ok now on to ones from today:
Isabel-
I thought you had lovely hair and it was always really awkward and I was always really sad when I had to move to let you sit down next to Caden* because I didn't really know you, but I was happy when we started talking and sitting together at soccer games.
Xena- I remember really liking your clothes, yes and being like Where did she come from?
:D yeaaah
Dougal-
hrmmm lets see. gotta go back in the ole storebank of knowledge... ah yes!
well my first impression of you was that you seemed like a jolly individual. u wernt as an extravert as i thought u mightve been, but i soon realized that ur a fun person to be with.
Benson- um idk u seemed nice and kinda shy at first but once i got to know u u seemed cool and up for most anything haha...

Arthur- ummm well last year was when I first met you, so it was quite smart girl.
Lancelot- i think when i first noticed you i thought you were quiet, or at least i never heard you talk for a while, and then i thought you were really smart cause you were in ap chemistry, but i liked your smile, so i thought you were datable
Fidella- I thought you seemed like the stereotypical high school girl. Nice, but likely dull and interested in typical girl stuff that I find boring. I talked to you because you were new and everybody in AP Chem knew each other. First impressions, however, can be deceptive.
Takoda- I think I thought you seemed kind of quiet (but laughed a lot), nice, pretty, and had a cool last name. I also remember people telling me you had gone to ______ Elementary for a little while.
Clementine-
i thought that you were really smart and that you dressed really well. oh i thought you were really pretty which intimidated me. and i didn't mean for that to sound like i don't think you're really pretty anymore because i do.
Well, that's all I've got. I'm pretty happy with my first impressions. Like, the worst I got was being shy and that's not even bad. Like, if I come off as shy at first that's fine because I can show my outgoing side later. Anyways this has taken me forever to post for some reason! Until tomorrow...

That was a cool way to do the task. I was like, "maybe I should have done that too" but...I realized that wouldn't work for me since I've kind of lived here since third grade and I most people have already forgotten their first impressions of me. Can you email me a list of all the code names because I really want to know who you're talking about.
