In Biology we have continued our Caterpillar project and holy freaking cow! My caterpillar freaking grew! I'm so proud of my baby Jezzy, she's gotten so big. And then my abstract art is looking closer to completion.
Personal Finance we took our chapter test and I feel like a total failure. Not my best test grade. And then choir we've got one week! ONE freaking WEEK until our CONCERT. One week to memorize "I'm Going To Sing" and whatever group song Ms. Hazard has us singing. Don't know how the concert is going to go exactly, but I have not been proud of my choir skills at all this year and I feel the same for this concert. Also I ran around the school for Ira asking teachers if they'd be willing to judge for his Speech and Debate stuff. That was actually pretty fun.

Day 115
Today was a REALLY freaking EASY day. I worked really hard on completing my art piece - which I almost am! - and it looks so freaking awesome. Totes love it! Then I spent my entire afternoon in the library, annoying Ira as always. Because he's so awesome, I have taken to calling him Big Brother. Everyone thinks its from 1984 because the continual hawk-eye of the government, but I just do it because that's just the way Ira is. It's totes awesome. I also found out his middle name!!! So cool!

Day 114
Today was a pretty easy and chill day in Bio. We actually took some pretty good notes and then we watched a video about DNA. It was nice because I was able to take my Caterpillar down and have her/he watch it with me. In Personal Finance we did some worksheets to get us prepared for the test that we have on Thursday. Then in Choir we worked more on our music and for like half the class period we were trying to figure out the kind of songs we could use for our Pops concert that was on Broadway - Wicked, The Phantom of the Opera, West Side Story, Cats, The Lion King, etc. Nothing too bad I guess.

Day 113
Gosh, today's been such a freaking off day! I don't know, Biology was pretty cool, especially since we're doing this new lab project where we get to grow our own caterpillars!!! Yes, that is what has excited me most about today, but Art kind of excited me as well, especially since I'm actually GETTING SOMEWHERE with my piece. Yeah, I've just got to paint over the texture paste I used and then glaze the thing and I should be pretty good. I'm really pumped up for this!
Personal Finance is getting interesting. We've got worksheets learning about equations for wages and benefits. Easy math, this I like. Then choir we're getting more into our music. Since I wasn't here on Friday, I couldn't give/get my valentine's gift for our Secret-Valentine. So, during school I was able to give my gift to MY valentine, Montana Porter - bless her sweet soul. It was really awesome, I got her a little stuffed lion and some chocolate...but I'm getting her more stuff tomorrow! And, freaking Kellisha, I love that woman. My best friend in choir, Kellisha, had me as her valentine and she freaking played Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars and just seductively handed me my Valentine bag and it was just freaking amazing! She got me so much flipping chocolate, like those little Reese's butter cups and some Kit-Kats and Peanut M&Ms!!! And there was a fake rose in there and a note that had our little inside joke (we both love Titanic the movie so I'm her Jack and she's my Rose and we love singing My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion) which the rose perfectly fit! And then there were two letters in the bag. The first was just amazing and I couldn't help but laugh and just love it. The second, in plain writing, stated I was only to open when I was sad, and I was kind of feeling that way today so I opened it and freaking Kellisha! Bless that woman, she knew how to make my fucked up day so much better.
Truth? I would have quit choir in a heartbeat if I could have, because with Ms. Hazard it isn't the same, I don't feel the love for music radiating off of her as I feel like it should. I was even ready to just give up choir for this semester when I had to fix my schedule, but I couldn't. I couldn't leave my choir girls, my Altos. Those girls are what made me feel the music again, they made me feel the love and raw emotion that was missing and I couldn't just leave them after they gave me something so wonderful. I'm really happy I didn't ditch out on choir, because singing is my life! Those amazing girls are my life, and I wouldn't be truly living if I just up and left them and the music. Life would not ever be the same if I just quit on music. And I'm really glad I didn't.

Day 111
Today feels like it's been a pretty busy day. We got our scores back for our written part of our exam for Biology and my prediction was right; I got a D+. Yeah, I'm not very happy about that...that actually makes me feel sad, especially since I worked pretty hard for that exam. Guess I should study more. Also, art was the same, working on my Abstract piece, personal finance we have continued with learning about W-4s and taxes and stuff. Also, in choir, my teacher did the most strangest thing.
For once, I actually showed up early and Ms. Hazard said that she wanted to give me something, an article that she had read and she said that she instantly thought about me. She printed out a copy and told me to give it a try. What was this article? It was Singing Christian Music (Part 1) by Joshua Bronfman. It was about how to get into singing Christian Music written by a Jewish man. Yes, I read it. Yes, I gave it a try, but this is SO NOT for me. Why? Because, though it's a point of view that helps in a way, I'm Pagan, this man is Jewish. Judaism is in very, very close relation to Christianity. Paganism is far from it. Of course there are conflicting views Christians and Jews have with each other's views, but I bet they'd band together against a Pagan like me.
Anyway, here's a link to the article. I don't know, check it out if you want, but...

Day 110
Today's been a pretty easy day, just went to art and focused more on my Abstract art. I like how it's coming along, actually, very Marilynn Monroe. And I spent the rest of the afternoon in the library. I swear, I love that place! I enjoy it so much, especially since it's basically just me helping Ira and Cynthia. Also it's a calming atmosphere, well it would be more if there were some incense sticks, but other than that it's just the perfect place for me to just be at.
