Last week was alright. Exams. I did alright. Monday was Creative Writing. We had different projects to choose from to do over the weekend before on different topics: the Holocaust, Cambodian genocide, the U.S. Civil Rights movement or the Japanese internment. It was kind of funny. We had to present our projects in class that day. A bunch of people did poems, but they all did them on the Holocaust. One person would go up and say, "This is on the Holocaust." She'd read it then sit down. Next person would go up and say, "This is on the Holocaust," read it and sit down. Lol I was the last person to go up. I went up and said, "This is.. not on the Holocaust." *cheers from the crowd* Heh. I did mine on the Japanese internment. I got a hundred on the exam and passed the class with an 100 A. :]
Tuesday was AP Calculus and Art I. AP Calculus.. we'd done the FRQ part of the exam the previous Thursday. I aced that part. The multiple choice part.. meh. I thought I did very well on that part, but apparently, I got a B- on it. :/ I still got a 93 on the exam, though. Passed the class with a 96 A. Art, I got 105 on my sketchbook even though I was missing two pages. :3 Luckily, those two pages weren't the ones she checked. She really liked my still life drawing, gave me five points extra credit on it. The exam was easy as hell. There were some terms that we had to match to definitions. Then there was a perspective drawing that was all kinds of fucked up that we had to redraw correctly. Then there was a painting part where we had to draw three circles and in each circle, paint a tint of this colour or a shade of that colour. The last part was drawing a circle and shading it. I aced the exam but got an 84 B for the class--not bad for missing out on two assignments.
Wednesday was a halfday. Had French II and senior communications. I was the first one done with the French exam, aced it. Passed the class with a 98 A. Senior communications was alright. There were questions on each of the stories and the movies we read/watched, some questions on elements of science fiction and literary terms then a writing portion. I did fairly well on it, being I didn't read like three or four of the stories. My paragraph was pretty good. I got an A- on it. I passed the class with a 97 A. Lol. This class I was failing for most of the trimester due to a paper I turned in a month and a half late. He gave me 100% for that paper. O.o
Anyway, after school Wednesday, Cat, Erika, Robert and I went back to Cat's house to hang out. Around 3:30, we met up with Zach and Nathan at the Plaza 1 & 2 to see The Dark Knight. It.. was.. AWESOME!! :D I don't much like Christian Bale as the new Batman, but Heath Ledger was amazing as the Joker. :3 It was nice. I sat next to Nathan. I was on his arm for most of the movie. Lol.
Meh.
Monday.. I asked him out. Cat had kept bugging us about how we'd be a good couple, so especially after Wednesday, I figured why not? Except he didn't share this thought. He turned me down. It wouldn't have been so bad, but he didn't even give me a reason. I was feeling like crap the entire rest of the day until Erik got online and cheered me up. :]
Hmm.. Nurta.. from zB.. he told me he likes me. He told me that I'm starting to make him sentimentally attached and that he's thinking about me more than he should.. He got me a little cow plushie. I got her in the mail today. He got me this one:
It's kind of scary.. We've been talking a lot, and he's shown me a lot of who he really is. He's actually really sweet, not the evil jerk he pretends to be on zB.
Anyway..
Hmm..
New trimester, new schedule. New schedule is:
Webpage - Mr. Ellis AP Calculus - Mrs. Beattie French II - Mme. Busard Health - Mrs. Westerlund Novels - Ms. Bouwens
I'd thought that I didn't know Mrs. Westerlund, but she's actually Ms. Swainston, my PE teacher last year. I'd forgotten she was engaged back then. She's pregnant now, five months.
Uhh.. what else? Oh, Erik got the card I sent him. He said he likes it.. *squeeeee* ^^() I'm going to look for some nice Christmas cards to give to friends at school and perhaps to send to some folks across the board.
Secret Santa stuff.. I ended up getting Nathan. .__. I dunno how that happened. In my mind, I was thinking, if I were to pick him.. and then I picked his name.. -.-* Anyway, I'm broke, so I can't buy him anything. Instead, I'm going to burn him a bunch of CDs, stuff he's likely to have never heard of, but different stuff he'll hopefully like. So far, I've got about 33 albums in all. It's mostly, or at least half, stuff from Jamendo. I've got a few albums in German, some in Italian and like one in French, so I hope he won't mind. Whatever.
Oh, I almost forgot: Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
What I'm Listening To: "When I Was a Robot" by Naked Ape.
So.. DJ's been on MySpace since Friday night.. no reply.. *sigh* Whatever. I need to stop being interested in boys 'cause it keeps ending up the same damn way every damn time. I'm just sick of it. There needs to be more lesbians in Muskegon.
I wish Erik was online. Conversing with him always makes me feel better.
I feel really unmotivated. I don't feel up to doing anything. I just want to sit here, not go anywhere, not do anything. There's been a lot of sighing today..
I have to work on my final exam for creative writing. It's a poem on the Japanese internment after Pearl Harbor. It has to be about 30 lines long and complete by tomorrow.
Some good news, I'm letting that Christmas pack run today. If the download remains steady, it should be complete by tomorrow. I'm excited. It's huge, this pack.
Umm.. that's all I got right now, so pce.
What I'm Listening To: "Silent Night" by Allison Crowe.
I told Stephanie about me liking DJ. Guess what she went and did? She told him! She said I was never going to do it, so she did it for me. -.- But you know what? She's right. I was going to try to talk to him today at the end of senior comm., but I couldn't muster up enough courage to do anything more than wish him luck in the football game tomorrow. I'm such a loser. .__. I messaged him on MySpace. Hopefully we could get something figured out before I have to face him on Monday.
The blood drive was today. I signed up to donate, but they wouldn't let me since I'm still coughing. I've been coughing for about a month now. :/
We made a few prints in art. One of the prints we made into little greting cards. Mrs. Purchase is giving us the option of sending them to someone on Monday. I'm sending mine to Erik. :3 I told him about it, and he gave me his address. I'm going to try to come up with a little poem to write in it.
So umm.. I finished our movie.. it's stupid. I uploaded it to YouTube, but being their video quality fucking sucks ass, it fucked up the credits. Eh, check it out anyways:
Yea, like I typed, it's really stupid. >.>
I was talking with Nate and Zach yesterday. We're going to do a secret santa thing this year, being it's our senior year, most likely the last year we'll all be together. It's just going to be between Nathan, Zach, Thomas, Leah, Alyssa and myself, our table in calculus. We're going to pull names the week of Thanksgiving.
Actually, now that I think about it, Thomas will probably not be included in it, being that he's transferring out of AP Calculus. I'll have to bring this up to Nate and Zach on Monday.
Hehe. I have a Twitter account now. I like it. I synced it with my cell phone, so I can update it by text. I like updating it while at school.
Well, This was the last normal week of the trimester. Next week is exams. Next tri, if they haven't changed it on me, I'll have:
Webpage AP Calculus French II Health Novels
There's this girl in my art class. Her name's Lesea. She's pretty cool. She's a sophomore, supposed to be a junior, but she was homeschooled for a while, and that messed her up when getting into public schooling. She's pretty hot, too. :P She takes the Apple 2 to get home and gets of at Oak Grove as well. We might be having the same health class next tri, so that'll be cool.
Well, I dunno what else to type, so I'll be out of here. Pce.
I got an acceptance letter to University of St. Thomas yesterday. It's pretty sweet. I'm not sure I'm going to go there, though. I'm still waiting on response from University of Minnesota and IPFW, and then I'm applying to some other schools: Cornell University, Russell Sage College, University at Albany, Cleveland State University and University of St. Francis. After I apply to these places, I'll wait for any acceptance letters, fill out FAFSA in January, then see what my best options are from there.
I turned in my Poppen application today. I got references from Mrs. Purchase, Ms. Johnson and Mrs. Bouwens. For my writing samples, I included that short story I wrote and a bunch of poems. The woman said that they don't generally accept seniors, but she's still going to put all my paperwork together and present it to the committee.
It's kind of funny, dreams are.. I had a dream the other night.. Erik and I were married. One night, he'd come home and confessed that he'd had an affair. I said I already knew. He asked why I never confronted him about it. I told him that I just wanted him to be happy. Now, I've been contemplating what this could possibly mean if it means anything at all. I've deduced that perhaps I'm giving too much of my self to him and not keeping enough for myself.
So then I'm thinking, I should live a bit more. I'm going to try, can't guarantee anything, being I'm so dysfunctional when it comes to talking to people, but I'm going to try to talk to this guy in my senior comm. class, get to know him a bit, see where that goes.
And if all else fails, I'll just keep on dreaming, keep on writing and remain alone like I'm most likely going to end up, anyway. Maybe I'll get a bunch of cats..
We're doing printing in art. We have to carve a landscape into a block of foam, then we're going to print tomorrow. I'm doing a hill with a tombstone and a coyote, maybe with the moon in the back. :]
Hehe, I voted today. :] I left at about 4PM, walked up to Oakview Elementary, got my ballot and voted. Got home about 4:40PM. There was barely anyone at the school, so it didn't take very long.
Well, I don't really have anything else to type, so I'm going to go work on my calculus homework then one of my stories.
What I'm Listening To: "Métamorphoses" by Happy House.
Happy belated All Hallow's Eve everyone!! :3 Now it's Happy Dia de los Meurtos!!
I didn't do anything exciting, just stayed home and passed out candy. There were a lot of Supermans and Spidermans, a few witches, two dragons, a unicorn and a lot of I dunno whats. I had one girl who noticed me chewing when I went to the door and told me to stop eating all their candy. XD
So.. on top of all the other things I'm working on, I've started this short story which might evolve into a series of short stories, somewhat related to one another. It should be fun.
I need to finish up these papers for this Poppen scholarship. The deadline's this Friday. :S I'm hoping to get into a writing program. :3
Hehe, I got to hug on a really cute guy yesterday. XD This guy in my fifth hour. He's like.. :o 6'2", tan, dark hair. Yummy. :P Nero can tell you. Nero's seen pics of him. Lol, it was the sci-fi film we're doing in senior comm. We needed another guy since Cameron was unavailable, so we borrowed this guy. DJ his name is. I've got video of me flirting with him. It's totally lame, though 'cause it's so fake. XD I was a much better actress back in my sophomore year. XD
I'm excited. New episode of True Blood comes out tomorrow. The last one ended in such a way. :OOOOOOOOOO I'm excited. I'm feining like a crack addict going through withdrawal. XD
I want to get a sketchbook. I dunno where to look, though. I've only got seven bucks, though, and my effing mum.. dunno why the hell she thought of it.. deposited my money in her bank account. -.- Was fucking pointless. I could've just bought Volume 2 with cash. My mum's stupid as hell.
I dunno. I'm tired. I'm going to wait to see if Erik-chama gets back online, then go to bed. *yawn* Goodnight.
Scotch, whiskey, vodka, rum All so tasty, yum, yum, yum One shot, two shot, twenty-four Now you're passed out on the floor "Ija beja" is all you say Drunken rubbish, and the next day 'Cause you didn't drink in mod- Eration, you're now bowing to the porcelain god.
