Woot-tastic
Well, not really. But rather close.
1) I have successfully failed 2 chem tests today. There is no way I can get above a C on either of them. Yes, we had 2 tests in a row during our lab period. And the fact that Julianne Ross, scholar extraordinare, admitted to getting a lot of questions wrong, makes me feel a little better. It's not our fault that we aren't being taught...
No matter how hard I try, I will never succeed or be happy in that class. I have given up.
2) Foreign Language Honor Society Awards Ceremony:
Apart from "renown linguist" Jessica Johnson (according to the creepy Mr. Werthman), I spotted a few familiar faces. Like those cool juniors (for example, Lisa Luo). Jess got a silver medal for placing 8th in the state and 10th in the country for the National Spanish Exam. And I'm assuming the $10 Barnes&Noble gift card was for the National Latin Exam. Other National Spanish Exam... people include Julia Anderson and Katy Yeh. Diana Taylor was presented with awards for both the French and Latin exams, while Rachel Phelan was honored for Latin.
While listening to whoever was playing a grand piano so beautifully while students were talking over the music, I wondered what would have happened if I hadn't stopped taking lessons.
The performance by the Select Choir was awesome. I don't really know how to describe it, so I won't try.
Yep, that was a nearly woot-tastic day. It would have been a bit lovelier if I had gone to Strawberries and bought the new Nine Inch Nails cd (dualdisc version). But alas, I must wait till either tomorrow (when I shall go shopping for mom's b-day present) or the weekend.
What bothers me about Steph is that she is such a poser. You don't join the 'Kurt Cobain is God' blogring if you have only listened to less than 5 Nirvana songs. I don't think he's God, and I know a hell of a lot more about the band than she does. She wants attention, she wants to fit in. I think that she is just in the transitional phase we all go through at that age... she's still finding herself and doesn't know who she is. I can empathize, I've been there before. It's just frustrating to watch.
Cinco de mayo is on Thursday, and we're having a partay en la clase de Espanol. I'm bringing in tostones (plantain chips, apparently from the recipe).
BTW, I've been hearing lots of stories about the Anime Convention. I kinda wanted to go, but had no one to go with. I don't think any of my close, hang-out school friends even know what anime is, which is sad.
If I let my LJ die for a while, you might want to check my xanga. More people seem to update their xangas, and I actually think I get more comments/less crap there. But I'm still gonna keep up LJ. I probably won't have time to comment, but I check the friends list sometimes.
Well, I've got to sleep. Buenas noches, mis amigos.
