March 2007

So, times have been “hard”. Sure they really have not been, but I can still pretend to say it. It seems somewhat folly to say that my life could be hard because of how blessed I am with my family and friends. I mean, really, I do not understand why I sometimes over-react to things that are not really bad at all. So what if I am not the most popular person in any of my classes, and sometimes I sit by myself in a few classes. That is not what matters about a person. It would be nice to have a few more friends, but the ones I have, I would not trade for anything in the world.
Ok, now that I am finished with that. I am going to New York in less that 40 days. I am going to sing at Carnegie Hall, and I cannot contain my excitement. I graduate in less than 40 days as well. That is probably the craziest thing I have ever heard myself say. I am almost out of high school….wow. That feels amazing. I really cant wait to start my life.
This coming term I have Current Global Issues, which is basically the hardest class you can chose Senior year, in my opinion. All the AP classes wont be doing anything but studying for the AP Exams. This class is a last term last hour class where you write a lot of papers, and work like a madman. But I am really happy. It is going to be probably my favorite class.
Design Concepts is over. I have a lot of art that I want to share, but I need to take pictures of it all, or scan it. Maybe later. It is all ok (although my mom will say it is amazing). I am sad because I really enjoyed taking an art class. I wish I had taken more of them.
And in conclusion to this very sketchy post….We All Look Elsewhere by The Classic Crime!
“Lost sense of direction: nobody knows my name
Confidence: correction
I don’t know how to play that game
A straight line is quicker
A straight line would make me fast
I’ve burned my nose enough to know that straight lines never last

Swallow your soul
And drink from this life
As you choke on your pride
We all look elsewhere
We all look elsewhere

It’s safer inside doors, nobody has to flee
A broken vessel passed the rocks and out to sea
Waiting, wanting, mad with purpose
Now we come to talk to one who has the answer to how

Swallow your soul
And drink from this life
As you choke on your pride

Don’t waste your time if you’ve got it
The tides are turning now
You are not alone
They gave you their worst and you bought it
The lie has been exposed
You are not alone

Like winter that comes quick in early September
The rain clouds that washed me are what I remember
The stones that I threw piled high like a mountain
Which I had to climb before I reached the fountain
If life is a riddle then riddle me this
The blood tasted sweet as it passed by my lips

Don’t, don’t waste your time
Don’t, don’t waste your time
Don’t waste your time
Don’t waste your time if you’ve got it
The tides are turning now
You are not alone
Liar, liar
They gave you their worst and you bought it
The lie has been exposed
You are not alone”

Stolen from my mom who stole it from Erica. I did two versions….this is the first one. And no, mom, I did not change it at all to make it sound better.

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

So, here’s how it works:

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool!

Good way to not study for exams….hehe.

Well….I decided that I needed to get a new blog going, because the last time I wrote in this one was a long time ago.  Lately I have been busy working, keeping smart, and looking for places to take my next step in life at.  I am staying near home to go to college, have some good scholarships, working on getting more, and most likely rooming with my best buddy in the whole world.

In other news, new haircut is the most recent thing on my plate.  It is quite short, and I am planning on changing my user picture so everyone may view it.  Doctor Who is a great show, no matter how cheasy my sister may think it is.  The new Relient K CD is already my favorite CD ever!!!  The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess is beautiful.  German 4 is a pain.  Verruckt!  And yet I still like the class.  AP Biology is good, my teacher is not teaching because she is having her baby any day now, and we are dissecting fetal pigs.  We are going to start the AP Bio videos soon….they are always the highlight of the class.  Very excited.  I started working in the school’s theater.  I have already run spot light at the school’s annual Rock Show and run the light board at a Middle School Band concert.  This St. Patrick’s Day I get to make trophies for $10 an hour.  XD

My art class is getting pretty good.  I just got 100% on my latest piece.  Maybe I will put that one online to show off.

I wish I lived in England.  Maybe one day….but most likely not.  I don’t think I would like to teach in England, since that is my newly chosen career.  I am thinking of majoring in Social Studies/Political Science and Minoring in Biology or English.  It is really hard to get a Social Studies teaching job in the economy right now, so I may have to change my overall plan just a tad.  I am quite sad though, because while my best friend since 4th grade is going to be rooming with me (if only for 2 years), one of my other really really good friends is going to the Chicago Art Institute or whatever it is called.  She is going to be back for the summer and everything, but I will miss hanging out with her and the rest of the gang.

And so now you know all about what has happened to me in the past….well I just wont say how long it has been between posts, because I don’t really know.

Tchus!
