the last few days...

Feb 05, 2007 18:25

I have not journaled for the longest time. Its been over a month since my last post... I’m just sitting here right now, in my new 3rd hour class: study hall. Instead of taking Government AP, I decided to take regular, which only a zero hour was available. So, that left me a 3rd hour open, which I decided I could take study hall, catch up on my homework, and hopefully get to bed earlier. It’s working. I’ve written essays in here, charged my computer, played games, watched movies, and I get to listen to music,. I get around the rule of “no ipods” because my computer is not an ipod... suck it bitches! :-) ha ha, lol. what can I say? I’m just happy to have it, and I do put it to good use most of the time anyways. Free electricity, I can’t complain. The last month has been pretty... idk what the word seems to be (I’m really bad at this and it always seems to happen to me... maybe I just need to learn more adjectives)... I don’t want to say stressful, but it’s been pretty hectic. The first day back from break, Parker gave us so much crap to do... packets to read, two books to read (mind you at the same time), and projects to do regarding the books. Greenawalt gave us stuff about our history internal assessment. Mr. Pantier told us stuff about our math second internal assessment... which we’ll actually get today as a weekend homework assignment. I am just kind of burried in things to do. And to top it off, the ToK internal assessment is next wednesday for me. I have one of the earlier times to go... Marty, on the other hand, is going the week after mine, and he has a nice outline already typed up for it. What the hell? Idk... Ms Parker is sick this week. Every day of this week we’ve had a substitute. And she’s really given up on stuff to have us do. Like today we finally got a legitimate free day: no lesson plan. The other days, we’ve had stuff to do and just kind of half assed it. She isn’t going to be at school on Monday either because she’s going to have a transfusion. I feel bad for her... always having health issues.... My history internal assessment topic has lead me (once again) to the great region of Latin America. I’m not entirely sure how I got there, but I wanted to do some digging into the United Fruit Company’s history. And... this is my time to do that digging. I’m going to be researching how they influenced the CIA’s decision to intervene and aid in the Guatemalan coup of 1954. :-) hmm... it’s interesting, but only in a school related sort of way. I don’t know, maybe I’m just a dork... :-P. Tennis tryouts have been over the course of the past week. Though they were canceled for two days due to weather. Rain is great fro the environment, it smells good, it’s cold and wet and altogether cool... except to play tennis in. In that respect, it sucks because you can’t really do it :-/. Tryouts aren’t looking too good for me. Today is the last day of tryouts, and I’m on the second of four courts. I need to be at the top court to make Varsity. I have hope though. I haven’t given up entirely... so that’s always a good thing to have. I mean, if I don’t make it, it’s ok, but I am trying. And it’s not my hardest nor my best tennis I’ve ever played... I hate it, every time tryouts come around, I always always fuck up hardcore and never seem to be able to hit the little fuzzy yellow ball into the nice green area. I’m inhibited by my lameness... >_< I just really would like to make the team. Not only to letter, but also so I can have played with it for four years. And exercise... exercise is important too. I had envisions for the season as well. Like, when we would play our away game against horizon, I could see Melissa coming to see me, and me taking my car instead of the bus... and us going out afterwards. >_< I just hope I’m not too much of a dreamer and a jump-to-conclusions-...er. *weekend break* Monday, today, is the last day of tryouts because couch “didn’t want to cut too many people”.... what a load of crap. So here I sit in study hall again, nervous as I was friday because there’s another day of tryouts and this time varsity is going to be there. But whatever. I’m gonna try and if I don’t make it, then oh well. This weekend pretty much kicked ass. Well, friday too. Claire had her birthday party and it was just her, I, and Bernadette. We chilled and watched the Covenant, which is a creepy movie. Then Saturday was Jackie’s Birthday party. And that was actually pretty fun. She had a piñata of Nemo, which we all threw water balloons at later on. Saman and I helped set up before the actual party started. Too bad he had to leave early. It was his and Kate’s 5 month anniversary, so they got together. So many people ended up coming to the party. RJ, Neal, kyle, of girls, Shay, Alex, Mallory, and a bunch more. We all were in her garage just chilling. Playing pool, table tennis, pictionary, N64’s Goldeneye amid other kick ass party things. It was somewhat chaotic, but nonetheless a party. Then sunday Melissa and I hung out together. And the superbowl was on. Happy superbowl sunday to anybody who really watches football / cares about it. After doing the crappy math internal assessment.... ugh... I went to pick her up. I made some pasta and sauce for dinner. I should have made more I was pretty hungry still afterwards, but it’s ok. Melissa brought over the first season of Lost and her, Mom, and I watched the first two episodes before I had to take Melissa home. I went back home and Mom and I watched the next two episodes. It’s so good! Lost kicks ass! Well, here I sit, just journaling... I’m gonna get back to school stuff. *school break* and just like that... everything that could be anything vaporized... I made jv tennis, but seniors can’t play on jv. I made varsity according to coach dan... but then he changed his policy... and now, today, monday, the 4th day of tryouts and the 3rd day I’ve had to be high in my group... I’m cut. I passed 2 other times... but not the third...
