(no subject)
so i will start with yesterday:
April 2, 2004.
I was in complete SHOCK. Our school had this walkout, and YES we expected people to come, but NO did we expect THAT much support. I was so incredibly excited. It was an exhausting walk, and an even more exhausting rally. The speeches made were all amazing, but even more, sincere and heartfelt. I would not have had the strength to speak if i was them. Nicky, you impressed me beyond my wildest expectations. Rebecca, i know you've been through hell and back and just know that i am here for you. For all those who spoke, and all those who were there, thank you. Maria carrillo has always had the reputation of being the "rich, white, snobby, preppy" school, and a few weeks ago, we became the "rich, white, snobby, preppy, RACIST" school. But yesterday, we showed, not jsut in signs, but in the people that were there, the strength we carried. We showed yesterday that we would no longer be victims.
Today:
April 3, 2004
Yucky.. i had work at 9:30-3. OH well, the shift went pretty well.. i was kind of out of it... truthfully i didnt really wanna be at work. i think i might be ready to quit. dude i spend so much money there.. if i didnt work there i would probably have so much more saved up. need new job? any ideas? oy.
3:30-6
Quartet practice. i think it went really well.. we worked on "its alright" a bit.. just getting back that energy we used to have.. chord checks to make sure we were in the same key! yay for that.. then "one fine day" to again.. check chords. we wer a lot more shaky on this than its alright.. though we have recording on wed. :X oops. hope we do okay. we just need a lot more practice between now and then. hopefully we can pull it together. Its just keeps falling flat... and then sharp. never quite the same. though after checking.. its sam thats a little off the most. though everone is a bit guilty. u know, not PERFECTLY on the center of the note. We will continue to persevere for the CD! Then we finished learneing (well kinda) "longest time" for spring concert. so for spring we have "one fine day" and "longest time" and were going to learn "natural woman" so we will jsut have three songs then too. sam has solo for one fine day, nicole has it for natural woman, and becca has mot of "longest time" and i have a bit just the bridge for it too, cuz i already have the solo for "its alright" :D anyways... that was music
7ish-8ish
went to inn-n-out with matt, his gf olga, cameron, janette (sp??) and their friend.. i think tim? anyways.. just sat around and talked... it was kinda weird to tell the truth. i guess i just really want to be able to talk to him without a million and a half distractions or something. miss him bunches but hey, whatever right? gotta tough it up :D people change and you just gotta deal.. speaking of.. i wish i got to talk to olga more. dont know her at all. shes nice i guess, but thats all. seemed a bit bland but i didnt have a chance to get to know her either. seems nice enough :D On another note, i learned today that its easy to miss someone whos sitting in front of you. ugh i need to get off this computer before i become all analytical and "deep". anyways i left, and i dunno.
now:
not sure what to do with myself. i have a fundraising thing tomorrow, so i gotta do that, but im not quite ready to sleep. then again, im thinking about some people today. people have to deal with so much, and i dont know how they ahve the strengh to do it. There are so many times that i just wish that it was all over for myself, but i can pull through. Yet i know if i had as much pressure on me as those others. i would have cracked... how do you do it? n e ways. guess i should get going before i talk anymore. bye.
