today was sorta meh. i didnt have to go to 1st-3rd periods because i got my braces on. i was told that they hurt when you first get them on, but i then proceeded to feel no pain whatsoever. but now i do. at first there was just tightness around my teeth, but now (only when i press my lower teeth against my upper teeth) the gums hurt from the stress put on them.
i got to have free subway for lunch. YAAAAAAY. then that school thing happened....ugh. after school all was in pandomonium with club pictures. i had german club pics, senior council pics, choir pics, and maddie pics (the latter two in formals). we didnt end up leaving school till about five o'clock
it looks like i am gonna get my job back. but i told them i can only work during the evenings on mon, tues, fri, and sat afternoons. i also asked for $6.50 an hour. i thought "couldnt hurt, maybe they'll give it to me." when i left i was getting 6.00 an hour. and up till then they had been giving me raises in quarter increments. so we'll see how that works out.
tomorrow is the first day of academic decathlon. i get out of school all day, even though it doesnt start till noon. i have to brush up on my speech. i dunno how well i will present with the braces, but i dont think that my speech is affected much. mrs george is an essay grader. billy told her to give a 1000 to any essay that starts with a led zeppelin quote (he plans to start his that way). at region i only made an 800 on essay, which was good enough for third, which was the worst event that i medaled in. this time i hope to nail my speech. last time i went over on the impromptu secion, costing me fifty points. i would have medaled in that event if i hadnt gone over. the interview i think i can nail, if i just keep a better bearing and be more eloquent (thats the other event in which i failed to medal). as far as the tests go, i will be happy if i medal in any of them. state is a whole different animal from region.
isnt flossing annoying?
i have now decided to end all entries with dun-dun-dun-dun: THE RANDOM SONG LYRIC OF THE DAY
and i know, as i hammered those nails into your beautiful hands, your eyes they tried to search for mine. but i look away. and i know your eyes are the only thing that can save me. i'm still afraid of them piercing. your breaking into my prison.
