I'm watching Kill Bill 2 right now and, sadly, I'm very disappointed with it. I'm not impressed at all. So many people have said that this was such a great movie, and hyped it up for so long. I watched over half of it intently, and I finally just stopped. It's very slow moving and drug out. It seems that Quenton Tarentino wanted to make the movie over 2 hours just so it would seem like a good movie; but all that did was make it worse. There are so many things that he could have done to make this a great movie, but he just didn't use its potential. Things are just..."Alright, this happens, and now you die." I'm sorry to say this, but this movie sucked. I'm sorry to all who liked it. I was much more intrigued in the first one. Granted there's not as much plot in the first one, I think it was done a lot better than the second one.
School has been sucky recently. (1) First Bell (drama): Although supposed to be fun, has really been boring and annoying me recently. It has its moments, but they're getting few and far between. All we're doing is writing scenes for our spring show. All of the scenes are going to be comedic, and they're all going to be written by us. I don't think it's very effectual, because we all write scenes with a few other people, perform them for the class with the people we think will work best for the parts, and revise them. I heard from everyone who took this class last year that it was one of the most fun classes they have ever taken, but all it's doing for me is getting me irritated and frustrated. I'm sorry to everyone in my class. You're all really good people and very talented, but I'm done with it. (2) Second Bell (U.S. History): I like my teacher. He's a very cool guy. Him and I get along great...but the class is so boring. I never bring my book home except to study for the tests, and I hardly take notes; yet I managed to get an A all second quarter and a B on the exam...I'm not being challenged at all it it makes me feel stupid. (3) Third Bell (Spanish): Well, to start off, my teacher hates me. I've had straight A's in her class, but she hates me. Oh well. Rachel's the student helper in that class now, so it'll at least give me something to look forward to. (4) Fourth Bell (Algebra 2): Easiest math class ever. I don't think I've ever gotten so many perfects on tests and quizzes than I have in this class. Mr. Freeman, my brothers best friends dad, is a very good teacher, but all I ever do in his class is Chemistry homework and English work. I wish he'd give us Third Lunch again so I can actually see the people I never see anymore a little bit. (5) Fifth Bell (Chemistry): Chemistry should just die. I hate this class more than any other class I've ever taken. I get B's in it, and I know what I'm doing most of the time, but Jesus Christ, it's the most useless class. Mr. Barrett makes me want to shoot myself. He can be cool, but most of the time he's a royal douche-bag. (6) Sixth Bell (English): I actually like this class. Mr. Sweeney's a really cool guy. He gives us work to do, but it's all within reason. I hate how I'm not caught up in the book we're reading, and I should be, because he knows that I don't since i never participate and just sit there and listen with a blank piece of paper on my desk. Getting an A in his class is very fulfilling. I feel accomplished getting an A in his class, that's why I like it. (7) Seventh Bell (Health): I like this class too, most of the time. Mr. Mersch makes me laugh. The class is rather easy, but oh well, it's fun and interesting. It's a nice seventh bell to have-relaxing. (8) Lunch: Eh. That's all I have to say. (9) After School (Hamlet): I'm never there. I wanted to do ski club so bad this year, but Mr. Peters had auditions for this at the beginning of the year so that no one would do clubs at the same time; but I'm never there, so I easily could have done ski club. I feel very left out of it. My part's so insignificant and small that no one even knows what it is. I have the least lines out of anyone who got in the play who's not needed as a musician. Oh well, it fits my life well.
Optioning starts next week, and I'm really conflicted on what classes I should take next year. I know I'm gonna take, well try for, English 11 AP, Pre-calculus AA, Statistics AP, Time to Speak, Senior Choir, and Spanish 2 AA. I'm not going to take a history next year, because I'm not going into anything involving history in college. I want to take Physics and Environmental Science AP, but I only have room for one since I'm already going to take two math classes. Suggestions? (F.Y.I.- I want to major in Astronomy in college.) I could take only one semester of Choir, and not have a study hall, but I really need a study hall.
Life's been really getting me down recently. I've been extremely lonely the past few weeks. I hardly ever talk to anyone, and the only people I ever see are people who don't know me at all. The only person I still see and talk to frequently is Tom. Yet, I get the vibe that people are just generally annoyed by me. And by "people" I mean everyone. With everything I do, I always end up offending someone, and barely getting people to laugh. I try so hard to maintain friendships, it seems, but they never work out. My friendships always end up lasting only a short time, usually the time frame of a school-year; and the people whom I've managed to stay friends with for more than a year, I'm starting drift from again. I feel that with most people, I have to try too hard to be friends, and it breaks my heart. I never had many friends in grade school. I was always made fun of and people were generally annoyed by me, even then. It's almost as if life's going to repeat itself and make me relive my grade school years of torment and loneliness.
My dad just sold a car that him and my brothers fixed up in nine days, for $17,500. And then, my brother just sold his car for $15,400. We're finally going to have a little bit of money, and I'm finally going to take my classes for driving school so I can get my license. Yay...
I was supposed to go to nili's house tonight, but the roads got too bad for my mom's liking, and she didn't want to drive me an hour one way and an hour back just to leave an hour after she gets home to come pick me up again. Sorry Nili, Happy Birthday. I went to Tom's house last night, though. That was fun. We watched Ghost in the Shell, and then played Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando. It was fun, but I always feel bad because it seems like I bore him to no end. I'm sorry, Tom. You have a lot of friends who are a lot cooler and much more interesting than I am. So you'll be fine.
I think that's all I have to say for now. I want to try something, though. I want all of you comment anonymously with one wish.
