i'm just me for myself

I’ve kind of gone through this self-realization period I guess. I resolved to make a conscious effort to ardently work at making myself an improved person. In essence, ridding myself of my bad habits, and setting targets for myself. “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” Profound.

Mountain view last weekend. I broke to quarters. Kind of bitter-sweet though, because I lost that round based off a definition, which still fails to seem legitimate in my eyes. And then in my first round my speaker points were switched with those of my opponent, and his were about 13 less than mine! in spite of this, I’m looking forward to Central.

I have the hiccups. I was watching this one Ripley’s Believe It or Not®, and this man ate this sub sandwich too fast and got the hiccups, and they never went away. A hiccup horror story I tell you.

Regionals this weekend. I’m actually excited for it in a way, except for the sight reading. We’re doing a mock audition in orchestra, so we’ll see how that goes. Tomorrow I’m probably going to go to the string shop and see some of their violins. Hopefully I’ll find something I like. My grandparents are so benevolent, as well as my family. They provide me with everything I could ever want.

So we did a seed dissection today in biology and we had Mrs. Alger as  a sub, and she was saying how when she was back in biology as a student, they dissected frogs that were alive, and had to first kill them. ANIMAL CRUELTY people. That made me sad. I remember in sixth grade when we dissected squid and had to write our names with the ink pen/ink from inside their bodies. The most disconcerting part? The boys started to eat it afterwards...formaldehyde and all. Sixth grade was fun come to think of it.

What if everybody in the whole word just decided to tell the truth? There would be no reason to lie. That would be nice. Granted those “white lies,” but I’m sure people could find a way to still tell the truth. It just makes me mad when you know someone isn’t telling the truth, yet they still say it. Well I’m probably being a hypocrite.

It’s such a gratifying feeling to know that you helped someone, and they were successful..i don’t know, random thought.

Still have the hiccu--
