Day 48

Surprising thing happened this morning; my mom actually let me sleep in an hour later than usual. She didn't wake me up until 9:30 am. I thought that was really nice of her, except for the fact that I needed to go to biology to get our exam notes so that I could study this weekend for the exam, and I happened to be a little late to Mythology, which we were having a test in and the test was pretty easy ( I finished in 25 minutes while everyone needed to class period and then some). Also, I retook my greek vocab test today, and I feel like I did better on it than I did the first time I took it. I also spent the rest of my lunch period, and eighth hour, watching this youtube channel called Feminist Frequency. I enjoy watching the videos that they stream on there, and I didn't realize about the Damsels in Distress in Video games until it was pointed out to me. It wasn't too bad. Tonight, I work again, but I don't close! Yay!

Day 47

Today HAS to be Friday.

I'm serious. It feels like a freaking Friday. Well, except for the fact that I had to work tonight. Still, it feels like Friday!

School was school. Still filled with tons of homework and boring lectures. Sure, there are times I like listening to what my teachers have to say, there are times when I enjoy it, but then there's a lot of the times when I just want to take notes and not have to worry about homework or projects. Yeah, that would be nice. But, no, high school doesn't seem to work out that way, even if you are a senior.

Day 46

Today, I got picked up by Cay and got to school just in time for Mythology, where we started off with taking lots and lots of notes. Chinese, Polynesian, and Hawaiian mythology. So far, it's all be pretty interesting, but my attention span is still pretty low. In Gov, we actually were put into groups and were given topics (health care and environment saving) and to choose if we would support the bills that went along with them or if we were against them. My group got to be the environment hippies and were pro saving the planet, which I like. We also beat the other group so bad, they didn't even have a real argument against us! Totally rad. Then, creative writing was just, well, creative writing. There was notes for the other kids, but I just spent the time reading and writing. Yeah, that was pretty much it.

Day 45

Kind of missed biology today, also know that I've got a couple things missing that I have to turn in. Also, modern lit is going alright. We took a Greek vocab test earlier before we left for break and I've got to retake the test tomorrow. Maybe it'll bring up my grade (at least that's the hope). And then choir, well, we spent the entire time going over sight reading. I get it, sight reading is important, but I really suck at it, even though I've been learning it for three years now. I feel kind of bad for Ms. Hazard, especially since she's trying to take on such big things to make her seem as if she can take over Mr. Stone's place or do a better job or show that she can be just as good as him. I guess she's taken to trying to prove herself so much that all of her big projects are overwhelming her. If it ins't, that would shock me. Seriously, planning a trip to New York where everyone only has less than a year to get the money, buying brand new choir dresses when the ones we have are fine, even though they may be a bit busty around the chest. I don't know. I would be going crazy like a week ago.

Day 44

First day back to school was really rough, and I'm not kidding. My attention span was 3 on a scale of 1 to 10, and I hadn't gotten much sleep the night before. Pretty much, today was the day where all the teachers start where they left off and pray to God that their students actually cared to remember what happened a week ago. I find that the problem with school is that they shouldn't have given us such long breaks. Instead, we should have gotten Fridays off, especially with the new schedule. But, hey, what do I know? I'm just a lousy teenager who doesn't care (yeah right!).

All I know is that I've got a couple tests coming up soon and I have got to study like crazy for them. Problem is, I can't seem to find the time to do anything, even homework. No one told me that trying to act like a responsible adult was going to be hard, which would've helped me.

Day 43

Finally, it's the end of the freaking quarter. Though I didn't get to watch any movies today whatsoever in class, I'm so happy that school is out for the next week, though I can't say the same for work. Anyway, have a good week off from my ranting!

Day 42

Oh man, the concert was not what I expected. In a bad way. We started with Sing Dem Hern and it was just...horrible. We each seemed to be out of it and we weren't singing together. Then, Women's chorus reminded me of a Middle school choir, where the little girls can't reach for the high notes and their stretching as high as they can just to REACH but then they sound raspy and out of breath. The Men's chorus was alright, but not as great or sophisticated as last year. It seemed like they were going everywhere with their notes as they tried to find the right ones. Then, for my choir, Las Cantantes, we weren't perfect, but we weren't that horrible either. I'm in Alto 2, but for both of our songs, you could not hear Alto 2 except for the times where we were Forte (loud). It really pissed me off. And then, you have Monumental Singers, the greatest choir of our school, the one Mrs. Hazard and most of our choir teachers have spent their time on so they could be the best of the best. And, of course, they were the best. Their songs were perfect for them, their voices were perfect. I mean, seriously, how did they get better songs than us? How did that happen? I don't know, I feel like my choir is so...cliche? Not the right word, but it's meaning is what I'm looking for. Ah, amateurs, that's the one. Yep, that's it.
