And I had no idea where my head was at,
But if my heart says, ‘I’m sorry’
Can we leave it at that?
Because I just want for all of this to end.
I’ve decided that I’d really like it if someone wrote a song about me. It’d be great.
The first day wasn’t so bad. I look forward to Jazz Band, but I wonder if Mr. Shephard would be open to some SKA. Anyway, I shall train my Jedi Apprentice, and the other one will merely be a sacrifice to the gods of music. I have decided that I really need to work more practicing into my schedule. We’ll be changing Emy’s name to Jane sometime this week.
Jacki and I will have amazing abs after a year of Choir together. We laugh all the time. Jacki’s favorite summer memory was me flying off the tube! Mine was probably Tom and Stan. But I told them about other things, too. We sang Do-Re-Mi. I’m on second part, which I’m actually kind of happy about. Honestly, I really like being the harmony, whether above or below the melody. It’s just always sounded cooler to me. Joelle thinks I’m a showoff, I think, but whatever. I sing ‘cause I like it!
Calc was a bit more challenging than I expected for the first day, but I’m reasonably sure that I got at least 15 right, and the rest, since I don’t know, I’m eager to learn. Dad’s also ‘home schooling’ me on stuff to keep me caught up. I think I’ll do fine, though. I hope Hannah saves me a seat tomorrow.
Band was a bit worse than I expected. I thought we did better than that. But it wasn’t awful, so I guess we’ll pull it together. I wonder when we’ll start having Senior Show meetings.
Lunch was: food. I switched shoes with Allie J, ‘cause hers were hurting her. Sad. And I spilled chocolate milk all over my pretzel. Sad. And I flashed the world with my lovely pink thong. As if you didn’t see it, too! Lol! Oh, well. Life happens. It could’ve been worse.
Senior Writing sounds manageable. I hope I can remember the deadlines. That’s my biggest worry. And the sheer magnitude of the writing. I’m not sure if I can pump out that much non-fic. Fic, sure, easy. But about me? Probably not. I’d be too tempted to embellish it and improve it. Regular life is too boring, I think. But of course you don’t since you’re reading my regular life right now, huh?
Criminalistics. Pretty fun, I guess. I just really wanted to take it, because I think it’ll be fun, and I need a Science credit while keeping Choir. And it’s not like it’s a blowoff class or anything. It’ll be lots of work. I just don’t know if that’s what I want for a career. We still need to work out my Independent hour. Mrs. Short doesn’t have prep 5th hour second semester. Hmmm… DeepThought.
I drove past Allie, waved, and reminded her of our alternate footwear. She shouted something, and I pulled over to swap shoes. She commented on Tina’s battle scars. I <3 my Tina! And Allie J.!!!
Making toffee cake now. I’ve got brown sugar up my nose, and it’s making me sneese all over! And Max keeps following me around because of the storm. He’s such a chicken! The kennel practically shaved him bald! Poor baby… He looks so funny, with half his hair missing. But it’ll grow back... That’s the beauty of hair!
Quotes:
“And they had the little terrorist section, but after that, we just went back to stingrays.”
“And I look up, and there’s this giant stingray coming at me!”
“Flying through the air?!?!”
“Yeah, I was like, ‘what’s in this coffee?’ But no.”
“Because one is not enough!”
“Bartos, have any sugar?”
“Jacki has an ugly face, but she wears it well.”
“You could be a fruit!”
“Shave!!!”
Let it all out,
Get it all out,
Rip it out, remove it.
Don't be alarmed,
When the wound begins to bleed...
'Cause we're so scared to find out
What this life's all about,
So scared we're going to lose it.
Not knowing all along,
That's exactly what we need...
And you said, 'I know that this will hurt,
But if I don't break your heart,
Then things will just get worse.
If the burden seems too much to bear, remember,
The end will justify, the pain it took to get us there."
And I'll let it be known,
At times I have shown,
Signs of all my weakness.
But somewhere in me,
There is strength...
And you promise me
That you believe
In time I will defeat this
'Cause somewhere in me
There is strength...
And you said, 'I know that this will hurt,
But if I don't break your heart,
Then things will just get worse.
If the burden seems too much to bear, remember,
The end will justify, the pain it took to get us there."
