Days of My Life

Another month is coming to a close again. It's amazing how quickly time passes by. Amazing in both a "Wow, I can't believe it" way as well as a "Geez! So fast?!" way. Or maybe this isn't the case for some people. But I'm presuming that for most, it is. AP exams begin next week! I just can't grasp the fact that it's going to be May on...Thursday. I love the month of May, though, for some reason. There are eighteen chapters in the AP Achiever book for European History. And I haven't even finished chapter 4! That's horrendously horrible. I have terrible procrastination habits. Terrible! But now that I've completed all my other homework, I shall dedicate the next two to three hours to that marvelous book of a...test prep book. There's a math quiz tomorrow, and I do not plan on studying until...well, tomorrow. Not like it'd be the first time, anyway. Haha, we still haven't gotten back our chapter test from last Friday. Peop...

a blog is being updated. Today we got out of class early again. It was only the quiz, and then everybody was dismissed. And the quiz ended up being a take-home quiz, too! That's a good thing, though, because the chapter we were being tested on wasn't even in my book! For about an hour and a half or so, I got to study the AP Achiever book for Euro. I read several pages about the Renaissance. And I shall continue to read that book after this. I'm surprised I didn't fall asleep earlier. It'll probably happen later, though, because there's no extremely bright lighting or any nice breeze to keep me awake here at home. Seriously, these persistent allergy-like symptoms are so annoying. Well, not so much annoying as despicable. My nose is starting to hurt from all the tissue-using. And my eyes get teary! In some cases, that could be a plus. But I haven't found any situations in which I might need to pretend to be crying, so scratch that plus. Lock and Key ! Speakin...

We began impromptu speeches yesterday in Deca. Actually, "impromptu" really isn't a legitimate word, because we got to choose our topic, and some people had time (a LOT of it, too) to think about it. Like me! I chose the topic: Discuss the following: One picture is worth a thousand words . I used about fifteen minutes while on the bus this morning, thinking about it. And I came up with a new poem, as well as the speech. I was about seven seconds short of the time required for the speech, but oh well. Here goes: Whether it's a painting, photograph, or a real moment in time When one sees a picture, a story comes to mind A thousand words appear on the basis of that picture Formulating to the viewer what seems to be the truth One picture is worth a thousand words, this is what they say But those words can most certainly be miscontrued. I read it to...three people and recited to one. Oh, and about twelve others during Deca, of course. But I highly doubt it was the same as...

I'll just be blunt about this: I love David Cook! For those of you who don't know, David Cook is a twenty-five-year-old bartender/musician from Blue Springs, Missouri currently in the top six in American Idol. I used to think that it was a dumb show, but I started watching it last week just because there was nothing better to watch. And I "fell in love" with not necessarily the show, but just with the people's singing. I think that I would hate to watch the initial auditions, but THIS, the top-less-than-ten, is way good. I also think that at this point, or according to yesterday's performances, the three guys are doing a lot better than the three girls. But hey, I'm just one viewer of millions of others saying this. Although I'm sure that many other people out there would agree with that opinion. David Cook!! Yay, David Cook! There's another David, last name Archuleta. He's seventeen! I support the both of them :) So David Cook is my "newf...

It's 9:28 in the evening at the moment, and I am already sleepy. Gosh, sleepiness and I sure have it going together these days. Today was a good, fun day. It was a shortened day! Which means we got out an hour and four minutes earlier than usual. Although it really did not feel like much of a difference in every class. They were still just as long. But for some reason, today felt like...Well, sort of like the Friday before a break or something. Although it's just a plain, 2-day weekend, most likely filled with loads of (fun) homework for most people. I spent four and a half extra hours at school today, two of which were used to help set up the auditorium for Spring Fling, an event I had orgininally planned to attend but at almost last moment was not allowed to. Gee, parental control. Anyway, honestly, it isn't anything big. I mean, there were sixty-three names on the eligibility list... And Chancellor Hall's not that small, in case you haven't been in there. The the...

Blogging is a rare leisure for me these days. I'm doing so now because I don't really have any homework today because tonight's Open House at school. It's actually fun helping teachers set up for Open House. I find it quite amusing that they never do anything with their classrooms until the morning/afternoon before the event, and they have students help for extra credit. But hey, I'm not complaining. I'd planned on staying for it tonight, but then I had a feeling it was going to be very boring and wanted to sleep because I've been sleeping for only five hours each night this week. So I came home. And now I'm watching Wheel of Fortune. Seriously, I'd love to go on that show one day and win some easy money. ( a long, long break ) I've just finished my English homework, which I am very proud of. If I didn't want to go through the effort and hard work, I'd have finished it in less than half an hour. But I did. And I used about an hour for it....

Essentially, I was at school all day today: from 8 to 10 for poli sci, then from 1 to 8:30 at school school. Contrary to what you may have assumed, I had fun. In some ways. I had an exam in the morning. You don't even have to ask-- I didn't bother to study. But I finished a lot earlier than usual. Probably because I knew I had to leave early, but anyway... I went to school school today for the Shakespeare Festival preview. Why so early? Because some body had to arrive early for preparation stuff. But I'm not complaining. I stayed at the tennis courts the whole time, half the time attempting to read the AP Achiever book for history. It was excruciatingly boring! Top that with the fact that I was extremely sleepy. I got to page 34, then decided to put it away. Blahblah. The preview was fun and funny. Even though I sat in the same seat for like, three hours. Then again, I'd already been sitting the whole day anyway. I realized during the show that some people are actually ...

I decided I'd name the day due to an apparent lack of creativity in me at the moment. While on the late bus home today, I randomly realized that, considering all that's going on, or isn't going on, in my life right now, I'm happy. However, that most certainly does not imply that I don't have "low moments". Everybody has those. (As if you yourself didn't know that.) Perhaps I thought that only because I had a good day today. But I'll just say that I'm happy with (my) life. I still complain a lot, though... But not as much as some others do. Sometimes I admire those who never complain about anything. Then again, that could be a bad thing, because who doesn't like the way things work from time to time? Not mentioning it could very probably lead to build-up of emotional tension and internal conflict caused by very external factors. I have a strong feeling that that did not make sense, but I will not bother to read back on it. At 11 on Monday ni...

As we know, There are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know There are known unknowns. That is to say We know there are some things We do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, The ones we don't know We don't know. - Donald Henry Rumsfeld I came across this poem from another blog that so happened to appear on the blog page thing, and I liked it, so I thought I'd share it with you. It makes very good sense, if you understand it. I've been sitting here for about four hours, making a highly unsuccessful attempt at doing my chemistry investigation. I still have all that math homework left, because last night, instead of doing homework, I'd wanted to talk on the phone, and since I did, I now have two math assignments calling out my name. Or not. Though, seeing as how I'm lacking progress here, I figured I'd make use of my time (or lack thereof) and blog. I'm sitting in a very weird position that I know for sure is going to make m...

There is so much I can do right now, that I don't know exactly what to choose. Literally. I have math homework, chemisry homework, history notes, poli sci research, an essay... I could be chatting with people, writing poems, watching television (not that there's anything good on anyway), or just sitting there pondering matters in my life. What I'm doing now is blogging and watching television. I've never watched Bones before, though I've heard of it. It seems quite interesting. I'm just watching it in lack of better shows/programs. I'll just talk about my day. The Deca teacher wasn't here again today, due to the flu. So I went to "sign in" and then went to hang out with some friends at "breakfast." It was a very nice morning. English was fun in that the last Caesar performance, Act V, was funny and enjoyable. Afterward... not much happened. In chemistry, we made ice cream. It was fun! Everybody was looking forward to it, and... yeah....

So in the past half hour, I have felt distress, sadness, guilt, gratefulness, and happiness. (No, I am not bipolar. Or, in this case...quintipolar. That's not a word, by the way.) ( sigh ) Decisions, decisions. I have a whole lot to unburden myself of, but I have...Oh, look. Time is up. My mother established a 10:00 rule, in which I have to be getting ready to sleep by 10:00. Not that it's strictly enforced or followed, but...still. I had been working on math homework for a couple of hours, but I still have a lot more to do because I didn't feel like doing any more after my mother refused to sign her name on...something. I really do not want to "reveal" all details here, so I'll just be extremely, possibly annoying, vague. Then you can ask me questions or try to solve the "mystery" yourself. Well, actually, I'm done with the story. And for the next couple of hours, I will probably be tossing and turning in bed, thinking, contemplating this bit o...

Yeah, that saying has gotten very annoying. April's fool is more like it. I keep thinking that today's the second of April, though... Hmm. So in English class this morning, I heard a classmate telling the teacher that somebody informed her that today was the 32nd of March. And she actually kept that in mind! Hahaha, that was amusing. Today was a relatively wonderful day. Relatively wonderful, although nothing out of the ordinary happened... Oh, so it wonderfully turned out that we didn't have the Caesar performance today, after all! I started cramming only last night after 10, and by the time I slept at 10:58, I'd memorized about a third of all my lines. I'd been planning to "study" on the bus, but then I just talked with the person I was sitting with. I mean, it was a nice conversation and all, but I needed to study! Needless to say, I didn't. So in Deca, thankfully, interviews were still going on. I wisely used that time (for once!) to study my lin...
