New Exciting Things....

Well... I haven't been blogging in awhile.. it is almost like a sport.. Bloggin.. Maybe I'm just thinking of toboggan. Anyway, easy solution to an tough problem. I will be getting a new iPod Classic.. in black (once you go black.. you never go..... run track ?!?! huh?) for a graduation gift. I really do need it. I'll use in jewelry ALL the time when I'm working on stuff.

Over the last week I've been doing some script writing. I've been writing a script on my class, and it is basically the Office because my class is about 20 people in a very cramped place with lots of big personalities like Phyllis. The script is cool. Hopefully it rings true and isn't phony.

Another exciting thing is I'll be getting some original Ray Bans-- the coolest sunglasses around, and I won't look like an Alien wearing them. I have glasses and I have some Ban-esqe type of sunglasses, but they aren't prescription. So I need something for full on wear ( i put my sunglasses over my regular glasses, resulting in my regular glasses to get out of whack (they are tilting and getting crooked)

I want a new iPOD!!!

So today... April 7....I was using my iPod in class (I know, NO iPods during school hours. And! i think that is the worst rule ever! -I'd tuck my shirt in, before I give up my legal iPod privileges), and the iPod blanked out on me. It said "Sorry, you don't have any battery left.. so there" I was like..UGH! it does this all the time!! But this is my iPod saga... I bought one of the first iPods when I was like 14 and there is the pic! (white) and it broke before I went to RISD. Ok, i was fine by that. So i used my sister's old one (the pink one with the CRACKED screen!), and went along fine. Now it is skipping songs, and I'm tired of it!! Like I wake up and I really want to hear a song, and then it just skips over it, and that really ticks me off! Therefore... I really want a new. I haven't had one in a 4 years! I know that sounds really lame, but I really really want one! So, possibly... I want to have a long awaited 18 birthday party, and instead of physical gifts. I just want like 10 bucks from every person. I know that sounds really crass! But my sister's friend had one, cause his was stolen in a hotel or something..But this would be the easiest way to do it. I know I could just ask for it for a holiday or something, but..I really just want to do this on my own.

Ok... my reasons for allowing iPods in schools.
1). They don't hurt ANYONE!
2). They actually help me study. Not in the cheating way (people record answers on the iPod, and then listen to it during class- neat trick, never tried it, but still cool), but they help me concentrate. I've read music is a good stimulant for the work environment. Why do all those radio stations promote "more music while you work, soft and contemporary, 90 minuite no commercial segments" it is all for the busy worker who just wants to get their work done.
and 3). The classrooms will be quieter, if everyone brings their music or movies or whatever and plugs it into their headphones, all the classroom chatter will lessen. Ok, most likely it will lessen.
I really just don't understand the reasoning behind it.

Well, this was my last Spring Break of high school and it was fun. It was really low key. I hung out at home (trying to do some hw & watching the Real Housewives of NYC) for 1/4 of the break, and then I went to my beach house for the other 3/4.


That <<<<------ is a pretty crappy photo i took of the Beach from the deck.... just screw camera phones. There isn't too much to say. Pooky (Grace pooky, not the other Pookies claiming to be the Pooky I'm talking about) and I got gift cards to Blockbuster from Ben's B-day party uh... I think that was in November... and we hadn't spent them. So.. they had a 2 for $20 deal, and we took it. I got The Darjeeling Limited by Wes Anderson, and Grace got Little Miss Sunshine- I remembered how much I loved that movie. It is so good and has a good message.

WELL... that is about it...SCHOOL is only a fortnight minus 13 days away, and I still have HW.

Beginning of Spring Break

----- Monday ----

Monday was my last day of P.E. Thinking back on it now, I kinda miss it. I miss the stupidity, and the laziness in the class--Not everyone is stupid. Let me just say, life moves a little slower in J39. There is always that group of girls who you have to wait for because they walk soo slow-- I don't miss them. Anyway, I took the final and I had the second highest grade in all of the classes who took the final. So I felt really good about that.

---Tuesday---

Day of the Concert!!!
To start the day off, I had a new class to replace my Personal Fitness class. I'm in contemporary literature now. People actually can formulate correct sentences..instead of "Ay girl, Ay girl wit the blue jacket you wanna gimme the ball?" But I really like my new class. Although, I feel so stupid in it. Everyone knows all these dates, and events!! So it was the night of the concert, and I started to get nervous as I was waiting to play. It has never really happened to that extent. I was scared that I would forget the beginning, but I didn't. So we ended the night at Chilli's --that was fun. I got to sit with the Bobby, Mandy and their friend. I somehow got kicked out of my other table because the sophomores couldn't handle being with other people, and had to be at the table with a special person.


WEDNESDAY!!
It was moving day in piano! We had to move all the books, keyboards, and desks to the white box. So.... the next day was...

THURSDAY!
We had pizza in 3rd and that was fun. After.. which kinda killed the day, my third period teacher kinda dropped a bomb on us. She said we didn't do that great of a job. I thought I did a fine job. She specified the problem as saying that we didn't get our stuff together fast enough. But.... that was my last concert.. so I don't care, but I didn't like that there are still people that have concerts and have that weighing on their shoulders. I also had a Psych test that day.

FRIDAY!!!
NO one was at school today, and that kinda sucked. BUT!! we found out some really juicy stuff about Piano romances. Friday night was really fun tho. Sassy, J-baby, Kathryn, and I went to Lakeside... Macaroni Grill to be specific, and we just hung out later.

And today is Saturday!
I played tennis with "Angle" and it was fun. We got smoothies after.

Friday !*!*!*!

Well, today was pretty uneventful, but it was VERY fulfilling.

In first period,
I was freaking OUT about my 1 mile run today.. we have to cut our times down every time.. 1st time I had 17 something.. next time I had 16 something.. this time I had 13 something.. I was SO proud of myself a whole 3 Mins!! It was cool, but after my ankles really hurt. I think I probably run/ walk funny now, because my ankles never hurt before this year.

Next 2nd P. Well I wanted to get ahead in Psyc, so I started outlining chapter 9. Come to found out, we are skipping chapter 9, and moving onto 10..but we will still read 9 (so all that work wasn't for nothing)

3rd P!! Ok, Piano!! I have a lot of good friends in here.. mostly freshies, but they are nice, and clever.. not like those idiot sophomores.. So anyway, Bobby and I made the best character quiz for Evelyn Waugh's Vile Bodies. It is totally clever and unique, but still faithful to the characters. Oh and BTW, if you are one of my good friends you have heard me mention one of my all time favorite movies/ book...Bright Young Things or Vile Bodies.. it is SO good.
But the most important part today.. I got two gold stars.. roughly converting them into "a job well down" on my piano playing today for the upcoming concert.. It is true.. slacking till the last minute does pay off..Jk.

4th was kinda lame.. took a test, it was easy.
Then onto after school. After school was fun. I got to do the Indian dance.. it gets major laughs, and puts smiles on faces.
There is always something in the air on a Friday towards the end of the year. Pure nostalgia. I keep having all these feelings on leaving and how I it will never be the same.
This is a list of things I will miss when I leave highschool:

1). Wake up at 6:00 a.m. for school - I won't miss this, but it is a good starting point.
2). Inside jokes, these are the best.
3). Those days in class when there is a substitute and you know it is gonna be a goof off day. - I love those days
4). Wishing I had tried harder, but I live my life for fun. Not for work- that sounded so red cup party-ish
5). Lastly, the friends I made.

And Another thing...

More Comments guys.... I need more.. I feel I'm not being listened to. :(

Thursday the 20th of March

Today is Thursday! I love Thursdays...they are those days where you know its Friday, and you know Friday will be fun. Well.. today I had a match, I lost - but don't care-- its was tough. Anywho,... just workin on AP shiz.. Art History and Psyc.. Oh yeah, and I guess I've missed a lot of days in 1st Period... so the "Pam" character at my school was like " you've missed a lot of days" and i was like...well, i never said anything, but I thought it. "Are you serious?? What do you expect.. A senior, ... last semester.. who's first period is P.E. ... I damn well know I have the highest --GIPA aka G.P.A. --shout out to Hastings.. and I practically am the only one who doesn't need the book to pass the quizzes. Sorry, but "Nah" isn't an answer to "List 3 things that you can do to improve your fitness level" these rookies in my class... guh, well next 9 weeks I'll be in a class where people can read.. Contemporary Literature. That will be fun.. I hope it isn't just American Literature though, I like British Lit. more, and was displeased by my English IV Hon. curriculum this year.

Another good thing that happened today- I aced my Oral Quiz for AP Art History- it was on Non European Art. Not a fan, but its 2-5 % of the Test (that was one of the answers)

I just want to say.. THANKS Sabby for the Candy today, and yesterday. They make me so happy. Although I feel a bit like Kiki, when I accept it - but I guess I don't ask for it.. so that is different.
AND!! Lil Angel or Tinkerbell, thanks for the print out on Jason Schwartzman, even though he looks "ugly" in Sabby's eyes. I still like him.. for his talent, and humor, sans the mustache.
Ohhhh!! and, just a plug... Piano Concert!! March 25, 2008 @ 7:30!!! yeah, I'll be playing a Mendy piece. Hope to see you there!
