  • Got interim grades today. I'm failing precalc because 80% of the grade is tests. How fucked-up is that? Most of the class has C's, D's and E's because of it. What gives?Also, we had GSA today. Emily, the VP, is so much m…

  • Okay, okay, okay! So here's the sonnet on which I got full marks.They say there is no warming of the earth;The government denies it through and through,Insisting it can’t possibly be trueThat hurricanes are gaining stren…

  • My grandparents arrived last night. They're here until tomorrow night. I let them hear the Adjudication CD from last year. They were amazed that a high school choir can be that good. XD (My grandfather is in the Aloha Ch…

  • So, that girl wasn't in precalc today. She had a PLOOM meeting. I can't see her being a "peer leader of Oakland Mills," somehow. At least I didn't have to put up with any rude comments or cheap shots or anything. For tod…

  • I've been in a terrible mood all day, and here's why.This morning, this girl in my precalc class started getting on my case for not standing up during the Pledge of Allegiance. It started out politely enough. She seemed …

  • I can't write this fucking sonnet. Grrrr.Found Gracie a Halloween costume. She's a "gothic witch." Bit of a waste of $23.07, I think, but at least she's happy. I think she's too cute to be anything gothic. I still don't …

  • So, I went to the game last night.Guess who lost?Yeah. 7-64. I left about two minutes before the end of the fourth quarter, but that's how bad it was.Aaaanyway.conquest to the lover and your love to the firepermanence un…

  • Whole lot of singing going on. I love singing. But this is a bit much, even for me, and basically rules out the possibility of me doing church choir again this year. I'm in choir, right? That's mostly during school-time.…

  • My mom's been telling me that Matt's "fired" for several weeks now. She almost sounds like Alex sometimes. "He's not taking care of you. Is he?" I want to say he is, but...yeah... *sigh*I had this weird daydream that he …

  • Mom dragged me out to buy a Homecoming dress today. I wanted something not black, because everybody wears black to Homecoming, and I'm not everybody. But I eventually broke down and looked at the black ones, because ther…

  • Not much to report. First GSA meeting today. Went pretty well. We have ten or eleven people this year, a definite improvement over last year's grand total of seven. I'm president, Emily is VP/secretary, Tomas is treasure…

  • So I'm not applying to Sarah Lawrence after all. There's just no point. I mean, they don't even offer any merit-based scholarships. What's up with that? There's almost no point in me even applying to Bennington or the Un…

  • Really shitty day. Really.First there was the having-to-get-ready-for-school-in-oh-shit-fifteen-minutes bit. I woke up in a cold sweat at six-thirty (half an hour too late) after a nightmare that included being attacked …

  • I was going to go off on a big long angry sad rant about how Matt doesn't care about me anymore, but I don't have the energy, and I can't remember why I was going to rant about it in the first place.I'm on a major Alanis…

  • I can't stop thinking about Matt. And I can't stop feeling sorry for myself.I wouldn't have compromised as muchso much of myself for fear of having you hating meand I would have sung so loudly it would have cracked mysel…

  • Debating whether or not to go to the in-gathering, or whatever it's called. First day of church after the summer. I like church, I honestly do. UU-ness and one-ness and all that jazz.It's just that I might run into Gary.…

  • I've become officially addicted to "24." It's sad. It started with an innocent psychology project, now all of a sudden I'm an addict. And so is my mom, and my sister. We've gotten through disc 1 of the first season (12 A…

  • Open letter to President Bush from Michael Moore.Friday, September 2nd, 2005Dear Mr. Bush:Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina andthousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be…

  • Yesterday Leigh came over and we hung out, then we went to what was supposed to be RYA but ended up being only a few of us thinking there was RYA. So that was odd. So it's next week, same time, same place, for anybody in…

  • I have FINALLY finished my psych notes. My hand is aching...Some woman involved in the early version of field of psychology named Leta Stetter Hollingworth is the reason we GT kids are called "gifted and talented." She c…

  • You could just say it's a youth group of sorts. I don't know.Had fun at Stef's last night, collecting data for my psych project. We also watched TV for the sake of watching TV, and ate Twizzlers and Kisses, and played wi…

  • Going over to Stef's soon to do my psych project. I have to view three 5-minute samples from three different shows in each of two catagories. That's six 5-minute samples, or half an hour of my life wasted watching TV. No…

  • I played "Mezmerize" in the car with my dad yesterday, and he kept telling me it sounds like the music from old silent movies, mixed with 80's metal. I thought that was funny, but he's definitely got a point, especially …

  • Not much to report. I did indeed get to used the darkroom today; managed to make a proofsheet and only two prints, because I had to mix the fixer beforehand. I got a cool shot of those little water cups on stems in Eva's…

  • Psych AP has dropped from eight people to five. Ms. Klingner called us the survivors. I'm wondering if the others dropped out because they thought it was boring or overwhelming.Did my presentation on my trip to France to…
