"Part of having emotions is learning to integrate them into our lives."
This entry is dedicated to Catherine. She was so flustered that I hadn't updated in a long time. So Catherine, here's lookin' at you, toots.
In other news, I'm failing physics. Two things have come as a result of that: I'm ineligible and grounded. I'm not even supposed to be on the computer right now, which is why I'm typing kind of fast. This explains to some of you why I'm writing this while the rest of the Drumline is at Hendrickson warming up right about now. I'm ineligible for Drumline and the percussion ensemble. They had to fill in my hole, musically and physically, and adjust for my absense. I have been sitting in the stands in the gym watching them and it has not been easy. I feel like I let a lot of people down. Mostly the Drumline, but also my parents.
This failure calls into light the certainty with which the rest of the school year can proceed. It is possible that my mother may get a refund for the Colorado trip. Amy and Katy have been planning a beach trip this June, and it is possible that my parents would say no to that as well. Ashley invited me to be her prom date, and it is possible my mother would suddenly change her mind.
For now, all I can do is study like mad in physics and also U.S. history, another course where my performance is lacking.
This has been a horrible week except for two great things. On Valentine's night, I cooked spaghetti for Alanna at my house. I made salad and dished up ice cream. We watched Fools Rush In and she stayed in close to ten thirty. It was absolutely wonderful. On Thursday, I got my learner's permit as well. Finally, something that should have happened to me over the summer is taking place.
Not much else has been up lately. Alanna and I were five months on Tuesday. I applied for a job at Target yesterday.
I guess that's it for now. Good luck, Drumline.
