The Woes of Life
I think I'm going nuts. This upcoming school year is gonna be pretty hectic.
First and foremost, the reason for a chaotic school year will be the loss of Joel's presence at school. I'm mad at Honduras for taking him, but whatever. I'll see him soon. And I know he'll have a great time, submerging into the Honduran culture.
Second, band. I guess I can now proudly say that my title is not just "Briana the music librarian" but now "Briana the music librarian, band secretary, and flute section leader." This is all very stressful, however.
1.) Being librarian is always hectic because it is a never-ending job of organizing the very unorganized band library.
2.) Being the band secretary isn't anything because all I do is voice an opinion and write stuff down.
3.) However, being the flute section leader and hopeful jazz singer is something of a big challenge.
I have to deal with my very talkative peers, freshmen, and one upperclassmen who I really enjoy. BUT I do realize that I have to deal with Kristina and Sandra. I don't know what to think of them anymore. I've always known Kristina to be a very jealous, vicious, and deceiving girl. Sandra is the girl who I've known as Kristina's other half; they're inseparable. That's great for them, however, not so good for teachers and adult authorities. Coz they like to talk A LOT. Those two can go on for a whole day just talking and joking around and stuff. I don't mind some of the time, because their remarks made in band can be very hilarious, but most of the time, they should both know by now that they need to quit being rude. There's a very fine line between being funny and just being downright annoying.
I just know it's gonna be a task this year to try and straighten everyone up. The band's just very undisciplined, but we need to really start cracking down on people. You can't act like an 11 year old girl who's gabbing her head off all the time when you want to win awards and respect and look good. It just doesn't work that way.
I already know that Kristina's already disliking me because of my actions this past week. SO WHAT if I'm giving Craig push-ups for leaving his music, SO WHAT if I'm getting on Kevin's case about being a lazy marcher (and also giving HIM push-ups)? What does any of this have to do with YOU, Kristina?? Does it really bother you that someone else is getting taught a lesson in respect? I'd have thought that she'd be bitching about getting the push-ups herself. Maybe she deserves that. Or maybe she needs a serious talk.
Feck, I don't know.
I don't think I should care about her opinions on what I do (which may or may not be wrong; I'll ask Gavin and Miller) or don't do. It just bothers me how cynical and conniving a person can be when 1.) they're not involved and 2.) when they are in the wrong.
I totally thought that I could just be a kind authority who'd be real cool and relaxed about things being done, but I realized after the first day with Kristina and Sandra being there that this'll be a TASK.
The question is, what do I do now? Should I just give up altogether or try something to make a difference? HOW could I make a difference?
Okay, I'm done bitching about people and their behavior.
