Pretty damn impressive rite? My favorite one is the one where I fucked myself over in Spanish by not ever coming to class and pissing off Mrs. Maass by doing so. Thats going to be fun explaining to my dad. Everyone else already knows I'm failing it, but I cant bring myself to tell him that I'm going to fail. The worst I've ever gotten on a semester is a C, and although I got an F in SSE last progress report, that was easy to take care of, unlike Spanish. Well, fuck it, I still like Mrs. Maass and Spanish as a language, but I seem to like... anything but coming to class more. Other than that though, everything else is right about where I want it to be. I havent turned in any homework in 2005, which is going absolutely swimmingly for me, so I'm thinking next semester, I'll think about reversing that trend. I'll also be dropping Spanish (and maybe math... another class to do nothing with would be nice) and adding AP Gov w/Morgan 8th Period. Thats going to be a sweet sweet class.
In other school news, my mom is making me apply to University of Michigan and The Peabody Institute of John Hopkins. These are both schools which I tried to apply to months ago, and schools which she vetoed at the time for not being good enough. Now that the deadline for both is in 5 days and I have a lot on my mind, she decides it is essential that I apply there, and that I was stupid for not wanting to apply there in the first place. This is of course obviously true, it is my fault entirely for never thinking to apply to more than three schools. If only I had listened to my wise and omnipotent mother who is God's own personal gift to the human race.
Fuck that.
Alex brought up a good point today as we were skipping to go to McDonald's and the Verizon store, that I should just quit violin and go to OSU. to which I replied, I would really really kill to do that, but people (including myself) cannot let me do that. It'd be such a waste of 13 1/2 years and thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars it's redonkulous so I really can't. I'd like to, but I am violin's bitch, as it is mine, an endless circle of love and hate.
I can't wait to leave Oregon.
