i find myself here, in front of the computer, rather than studying, in front of a book, and im not surprised or upset about it...i just find myself not where i should be. which happens a lot. in many cases actually. *sigh*
my days of learning as a junior are over, now comes the beast. the calm before the store. the really good smell of fresh-baked cookies that you realize have been in the oven 10 minutes too long and are now burnt to a nice crisp and you have to resort to naming them because they are not good for anything else and then put them in the garbage. by the way, sorry about that hank, jimmy, otis, etc....
my dad whipped out this sheet of paper his friends gave him from the good ol' school days. its entitle, "hidden brain damage scale". the receiver of the sheet is supposed to answer some true/false questions and it apparently tells the receiver of the sheet if they have brain damage. i have picked a few of my favorites:
-people tell me one thing one day and out the other
-my toes are numbered
-i fell as much like i did yesterday as i do today
-sometimes i have the strange feeling i've done something before
-sometimes i have the strange feeling i've done something before
-i am annoyed by the taste of my teeth
unfortunately, for myself, i answered many questions true....
*sigh*
3 days of school left....w00t!

haven't blogged in a while, so i thought i should stop by quick and do my civic duty.
these past few days have been weird. i know im not nostalgic or anything. and having school end isn't really a bitter sweet feeling, more just a sweet feeling. because its driving me insane. i think im upset about something, but can't really put my finger on it.
bought the kaiser chiefs cd. its absatively posalutly wonderful.
so i guess that's about it. besides this weekend being a three day weekend, everything just kind of sucks right now. any suggestions as to why...?
5 days of school left....thank goodness!

as the end of school gets closer, the homework and stress seem to grow. i wish things would wind down, but they aren't. i wish teachers would stop assigning stupid filler projects because they don't know what to do these last two weeks, but they aren't. i wish the school days would go faster, but they aren't. seeing a pattern emerging yet?
so my sister showed me this sim television show thing, affectionately named "the strangehood". i discovered/learned a few things while watching it:
-some people have waaaaaaaay too much time on their hands
-the sims involved are stereotypical people, and the sad thing is, they really all exist
-i actually think i lost a few i.q. points while watching it
-death by flesh eating locusts, electricity, consumed by abnormally large rabbit, or drowing by cement are not pleasant ways to go
-fish live and die in water
i strongly recommend checking this out. maybe you could learn a thing or two.
im doubting the chance of my survival in the next 3 weeks.....
14 days of hell, oops, i mean school left

well, i survived the SAT. the essay was not so fabulous, and after testing for about an hour and half, i began to get bored. can ya blame me?! who wants to take a test for 4 hours. not me, that's for sure.
giacomo won the 131st kentucky derby on saturday. it was a very exciting race! he was deftly not in position to win this thing, coming in with odds of 50-1, second largest long shot in history. it was really cool! flew by the leading horses right at the end....what a race! poor belamy road, had 5-2 odds, placed 7th. i guess that's the way the cookie crumbles...
preakness is in two weeks!
i have a lot to turn in this week. not looking fabulous.
my sister introduced me to the band hot hot heat. what a truly fabulous group. props to becky!!
the countdown continues...(the number is a little tweaked cause i forgot about memorial day. its right now)
18 days of school left!

the sat looms ahead of me.....only two more days for studying...i think i may have to cry soon. *sob*
i'm hoping it will be okay, it would be nice to do well on it.
at least im not taking a freakin' a.p. u.s. history test this year. good grief, i think that would kill me.
i did an improve speech today. my question: "should music be a required class in highschool?" i said sure. i mean, music makes the world go 'round, and it doesnt hurt to know how to play an instrument...does it? anyways...the speech went okay i suppose. i didnt die or anything, so that always makes the speech a little better.
as unfortunate as it may be, i think i have a lot to do these last few weeks of school, but my lack of motivation is starting to shine through, and i fear i may be in a little bit of trouble.
so the count down continues....
22 days of school left

consider this...people wake up in the morning and go to school, work, etc. most of those people go through their day waiting for it to end. i personally watch the clock tick by in my least favorite classes waiting to get out of school. then people go home. some people count down the time until they get to eat or until their favorite show comes on or when they get off sports practice or even the time until they go to bed. then the next day, it happens all over again. time is flying by. i feel like i am waiting for something, but its not coming. i know i should live every minute like its the last, but its hard when it feels like i'm waiting for something. what am i waiting for? am i completely off base?
so, less contemplative now...
prom was last night. but i didn't go. i had a dateless loser party instead! it is not anti-prom, it was just the result of not going. i would have gone, except yeah....long story. but the party was fun!
sat next weekend. good grief, what have i gotten myself into? why why why did i do this?!
meh. back to school tomorrow. i guess counting days left of school, there are 24 days. i am counting down.....see? there i go with the time thing again....
24 days until summer!
