the makings of a bad week
I hate it when the school week starts off with a bad bang. There's the whole accident that happened over the weekend which I'm sure has really disturbed a lot of people, myself included. All I can say is just be careful, be cautious, and don't make dumb impulsive decisions.
So I finally sucked it up and I'm going to try out for All-State Chorus this year. I had my first practice this morning and that crap is really hard! All this tonal memory and 5/8 meter sight reading is crazy. Maybe it's just hard because I haven't been in chorus for 2 years and have stopped thinking so much about that stuff. It's frustrating because everyone else in there has done the All-State thing and they know exactly what to do and I don't and it sucks. I have a hard time not being good at things I know have the potential to be good at. But my solo piece is supposed to be really nice. I let Mrs. Hughley pick it out for me because she knows what suits my voice better than I do.
I'm so confused in "Heart of Darkness." I love Bounds but his class makes me feel like I have the intelligience of a pea, for real. I wish I was more versed in more types of literature and because I'm not I feel like I can't interpret any text or look for things like imagery and metaphors in novels. It's just hard for me to follow and comprehend it all, which scares me for the oral.
Mr. McIntyre sort of confused me all about my EE topic, which I thought I finally had nailed. Granted I didn't have a specific idea prepared, but I knew the gist of what I want to do, but it's not good enough. So ::sigh::.
Then I came home and realized my stupid ghetto windows 98 computer won't let me upload the Univ. of Texas application gosh darnit! I know it's a long, complicated one and I want to start it but I can't because I have to holdout for a new laptop for next summer.
WashU sent me a catalogue (literally) of every course they offer at the school. It's like a big book. Crazyness. I really don't want to have to read through it but oh well.
My hair is starting to grow out and the front looks all stupid and fuzzy when the bottom is all nice and straight. It's bugging the crap out of me. I want to get it re-touched soon, but I know I'll have to pay for it so I want a few more babysitting jobs before I schedule it.
All of college buddies are now gone. I miss them. But I know they'll all do great at their respective schools and I wish them all the best!
I'm finished now.
