i'm a very BAD girl ;)
i got home from work tonight, and my dad confronts me with "emma, we got a call from the school today, and apparently, you missed one of your classes"...riiiiiiiiiight. silly attendance office. actually, the message said that it was either me or my brother...and i'm leaning towards my brother. come on, the boy already got in trouble in the last year for running away from a hall monitor, he's got a bad streak ;)
poetry slam rehearsal was this afternoon. if i had the time, i think i'd rewrite my piece, or make a completely new one that was more politically active. but, i'm actually pretty satisfied with what i have. i need to work on its performance, so that i can slam it with passion. it is a pretty strong personal statement, i think. plus, i got rid of the word "chickadee", which was absolutely necessary. actually, i was impressed with several of the poets. granted, you do get a lot of pieces leaning on metaphor and the impression that the person is deeper than they really are. one girl i wanted to shake for being so emo. but there were a few that were really good. emma's was particularly entertaining :) the slam's in less than a week people! if you're not going to perform, i strongly suggest that you come and see it, you'll be amazed...
just got a letter handed to me from Washington at St. Louis...apparently i did NOT qualify for a scholarship, which kinda sucks, considering i can't afford them as it is. and i worked really hard on those applications, too...i'm bummed :( i'm hoping that i can still get in, even though i wasn't good enough to qualify.
looking back at my ap lit homework, i'm pretty sure i did it wrong. granted, that's probably because she was too vague in her instructions. oh well...
i guess i'll go to bed. i haven't done my calc homework, but i need to be really aware to do that...which i'm not at the moment...
