Okay, I just wanted to say that I'm still alive. I'm not suicidal, if you thought I was by my last post, I'm just always either busy or bored out of my mind. Recently, its been busy.
Classes changed, and now I have chorus. YES! But I have geometry. NO! As you may already tell, I hate math. I suck at it, and anything past Pre-Algebra, I nearly failed. So my parents are trying to find a tutor for me. It's no going well. We ended up on a chat site where you can talk to "math tutors" ie. pedophiles. I also found a book called "Geometry for Dummies". I need that book. I know this one guy who could help me in Geometry (he's actually one of my almost-friends) while I could help him in History. But he's always busy, being a fellow chorus student. He's also in the school musical which makes it harder to contact with him.
My dad might be getting a full-time job, which is good. So far, he loves it. He fixes and builds computers and fixes idiots' mistakes. Like this scenario:
"My computer isn't working. The screen isn't lighting up."
"Have you tried turning on?"
"Yeah, it didn't work. The screen won't light up."
"It the monitor plugged in?"
"What's a monitor?"
And stuff like that.
I'm getting a job this summer, probably at Target or the library. Matters who's hiring.
My biology teacher is inarticulate. Every other word has "um..." or "ugh..." in it. So its hard to pay attention.
I'm still setting up my classes for next year, and hopefully I have French III, so my schedule isn't messed up. I'm taking Chemistry, Algebra II, English III, and US History II as my academic courses. Electives are Group Exercise and Fitness II, Women's Ensemble, and Health and Fitness III.
I broke up with my boyfriend. He was kind of a jerk anyway.
And besides that, nothing much has happened since December.

Sophomore Year
I'm a sophomore now. And I have been for nine weeks, but I'm just getting to it now. And my sophomore year has been kinda hectic. Let's start from the beginning.
A week or two before school started, I got my schedule in the mail. And I noticed two problems. Both of them involve gym/fitness. (They're the same thing, just have different names.) The first problem is that I had two gym classes every day. So that meant Group Exercise and Fitness in the morning and Dance Technique in the afternoon. Group Exercise and Fitness is a gym class where yoga, pilates and kick-boxing is rotated every day. Dance Technique is studying and performing jazz, hip-hop and swing routines. Doing both of these classes every day left me fatigued when I got home. On the bright side, both of these classes were only nine weeks long, and from the exercise, my abs are firmer. Well, slightly.
The second problem came with two health/fitness classes every day. Which means that I'll have to run a mile twice. In 20-40 degree weather in the morning and 30-55 degree weather in the afternoon. No one wants to run a mile when its 20 degrees outside, and while wearing shorts and a tee shirt. I'm gonna have to buy a hoodie and yoga pants for the fitness classes.On the bright side, one of the health classes is Driver's Ed, so that will get me halfway to my learner's permit in April.
My next problem came Homecoming, and finding a dress. I already bought the dress and it was gorgeous. Finding a date was also easy, considering one of my guy friends loves me, and now we're together. We've only been together for about two weeks, and we're taking it slow. He almost forgot to buy his ticket, which screwed both of us up for a few days. The dance was loud, fun, and of course involved trying to avoid the crowd's "dancing" (really just sex with clothes).
Halloween was spent trick-or-treating with my friends, and this really creepy guy who turns out to be my best friend's cousin or something. I went as a banshee and with all the grease makeup and accessories I put on, i was nearly unrecognizable. Or so says my mom.
I am in Women's Chorus again, and this year, I WILL audition for the Ensemble. And next year Concert Choir. Maybe. The Choral Director said I was good last year, but I had to be louder. I myself, have to work on belt and vibrato.
I joined French Club, and sometime this year, we're going to see Cirque du Soleil. Sadly, we don't have enough money for Les Miserables. Because its at least $100 per person. So it would be about $3,500 for the whole French Club. We definitely do not have money to go to France this year.
I also have French II and US History I right now. Right now, we're learning how to say different chores in French and James Madison's presidency in History.
I also read "The Wake of the Lorelei Lee" by L. A. Meyer. It's the eighth book in the Bloody Jack Adventures, my favorite book series. WotLL was a fantastic book, but also really sad. My boyfriend is reading the series, too. Right now, he's on the second book in the series.
My cat now rules the house, but the dog isn't as afraid of her as she used to be. And the dog is allergic to grain now. So that means buying her all new dog food.
I also feel like I should make a post for where I want to travel, but I'll do that later.

School's Out For Summer!
School's Out Forever!
Yeah, I wish.
So this school year took A LOT of getting used to. It was my freshman year of high school, and you know what this involves:
High school drama. Need I say more?
And then there's my guy friend. Let's call him Will. Will's kinda cute but extremely dorky (as in obsession with "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and Ray Bradbury and H. G. Wells books.) How do I put our "relationship"? Complicated.
I just want to be friends. But I do want a boyfriend. Will wants to be more than friends, but also asked out my two best friends before me. My friends think he's a creeper because of that.
And then there's his best friend, who my best friend had a crush on for about 2 weeks. Let's call him Brad. Will and I actually tried to set them up once. It was a fail. Will just did that to get me to double date with him, Brad and my friend.
Now, since school's out, both me and my cat have to switch to summer mode. My cat because she's used to waking up a 5:45 AM with me. Now I get up anywhere between 9 AM and 2 PM. (Matters how I spent the night, if you know what I mean... :)) Lol, jk. My summer nights consist of sleepovers, Cheetos, Mountain Dew, swimming, hot tub-ing, and Guild Wars.
But my brain is used to being tired at 10:30 PM, when in July or August, I was awake enough to record myself singing broadway showtunes at 1 in the morning.
I also took my cobweb-coated bicycle out for a spin today. It reminded me that I am really out of shape, my legs burning after halfway way to my friend's house. (Which is about 3/4 of a mile)
I have to start exercising.
Starting tomorrow. Or Monday.
Speaking of summer, you know how kids forget 1/3 of what they learned in school over the summer? Well, I've only been out of school for three days, and I have already lost my sense of time, my common sense and forgotten how to do long division.
So, I'm really tired, and I'm going to bed.
Good night!
(Screw you, school! You ruined my sleeping routines!)
Yeah, I wish.
So this school year took A LOT of getting used to. It was my freshman year of high school, and you know what this involves:
- Evil gym teachers
- "He said, she said"
- Annoying classmates who think they're your bestie when you want them to STFU
- Guys who you're friends with, but he thinks that you and him are together.

high school is useless trivia
Everything I'm learning in high school will only help me if I'm on Jeopardy!. No one needs to know what the square root of x is. The only way that I will ever use that is if I'm a physicist (not likely) or a mathematician (never happening). Gotta go. Lunch!
Or dinner...?
Anyway, the new school year has started...and is almost over. Quick fill-in! I started high school, screwed myself over in algebra, adopted a cat (my dog is afraid of her), got braces (fml), made new friends, and took gym, chorus and French. And I hate my science class.
Why? You know when you feel like you're the only mature person in the room? Well, that's how I feel. It seems that I am surrounded by five-year-old's with the perverted minds of sixteen-year-old's. And-well, you know how this ends. While I try to work on things I learned in the first grade. Well, that sounds pathetic...
Anyway, I like my French class...except for the fact that I freeze on oral exams, but that's beside the point. And Women's Chorus is nice. The teacher isn't a demon, like everyone says, and its all girls in the class. So we can talk about girl stuff. Well, we would except that the Teacher's Assistant is a guy.
Gym is painful. Hockey, dodgeball and weight room. Need I say more?
