This is for Javan
Current Music: Running Away - Hoobastank
As many of you have noticed, I haven't updated in a while. It could be that I'm busy, or it could be that I have nothing to write about, or it could be that I have everything to write about that I shouldn't. Take your guess and try me.
This year at school has been really fun so far. I'm surprised how much I actually don't mind going to school. Except trig, of course, which sucks. I thought I did well on my second test and it turns out I made a 69. Not terrible, but not what I want going down as part of my average this semester. This is the last semester that's going to count for anything, and if I make my very first C ... or God forbid F... as a senior in high school, then that would obviously be very disappointing. My only hope is that a friend of mine said she only passed two tests in there and she made an 81. However, she probably also did all her homework which is already something I am slacking off at. And daggum Ms. Oliver always seems to take up the one thing I didn't finish completely. Or didn't do at all.
And then there is chorus, which is just the absolute highlight of my day. I'm in there with Courtney (I have trig with her too, but most of the time we are too depressed about our math skills to have a lot of fun) so that just makes it... WHEE! At the beginning of class everyday we have massages and if I'm lucky Courtney massages me. She gives better massages than anyone else ever. She'll even massage my tired cross country legs... what a sweet girl! And then we all sing and giggle like a bunch of girls (because we are... it's a women's chorus). Ms. Cox is extremely cool and makes the class really fun.
And then there is... band. I don't know, I have mixed feelings about band right now. The bulk of class is marching band stuff and I feel like kind of an outsider now that I am not marching. It also is really frustrating to have to sit through a bunch of things you are not involved in. But I knew what I was getting myself into, so I shouldn't complain. I also know I will really love it again when second semester comes around... when we really dig deep into some awesome music. That is if I even make it into symphonic band next semester! That is a worry of mine. I don't know. I've never really felt like a "band kid." But I do love the music and my teachers are awesome, so I guess that is why I stick around even if I don't really think I belong. Anyway...
That takes us to... LUNCH! Lunch is okay this year. It's hard to top that table we had first semester of sophmore year. However, the funniest part of lunch is seeing everyone run to the cafeteria so they don't have to wait in line (myself included). Justin Reynolds and I started it on like the second day of school, but eventually everyone caught on so it doesn't work too well anymore. Oh yes, and I sit with Will. He is always there to provide me with some entertainment. I am glad Jason is there too, because I don't see much of him anymore, which makes me sad.
And then... my crazy lit class! I am not even going into this. Instead, I will direct you to Javan's journal, because he says it so much better than I ever could. And by the way, having Javan in there is the only thing that makes it bearable. Yay Javan!
Wow, this is a really long, pointless, with no hidden meanings journal. New for me. Oh well. Just a little more.
And then, afterschool, I've got cross country. This has been so amazing in a lot of ways. One is that the team is so cool. Everyone is so nice and I am becoming friends with people I never thought I'd talk to for one reason or another. Another way it is amazing is that I can actually do it... I can actually run these insane distances in the Georgia 4:00 heat. And most of the time, it almost kills me, and all I can think while I run is how much I don't want to be running, and I wonder why I do it. But at the end of it all, it's so worth it, because I know I just made myself better.
Wow, I should totally do an ad for Nike.
So that is my school day. It was something to write about at least, so Javan wouldn't have to have my front page memorized anymore! I'll try to keep you guys posted (get it? haha... posted) more often from here on out.
