How is everyone today? I haven't felt like writing these past few days, but now I do, so here goes.....

This weekend is not going to be fun one, I have band rehearsal on both Friday and Saturday, plus the concert on Saturday night, so my weekend is pretty much gone....the rehearsals consists on 5 total hours on Friday (3:15-5:00pm, 6:15-9:00pm) and another 2 hours on Saturday morning (11:30am-1:45pm)......yuck....

The reason for the excess amount of rehearsals is because it is the guest conductor concert where we get a new conductor (usually a college band director) and they do the show with us....this is my least favorite concert out of all of them because of the fact that we spend 2-3 months learning and preparing the song one way and then this new person comes in and we have 7 hours to learn how to do it their own way, which is a pain in the ass!!! I know that the reason behind this is so that we can learn how to quickly adjust how we play a song, but I still hate it....last years was the worst because the guy was from Australia and talked really fast, in an Australian accent to boot....most of the time we had no idea what he was talking about, so he kept having to repeat instructions and he also had a weird way of conducting...we weren't really sure what he was doing because he never seemed to be conducting the song in the right time...so that led to some trouble spots....hopefully this year won't be as bad....

There's really not too much going on this whole week.....I don't feel sick anymore......and that's pretty much the big news.....

I think the "winter blahs" are starting to wear off, except that now the temperature has really dropped and its been very cold ( as opposed to it being pretty warm from the end of December on....), when I was out walking my dog, I noticed that there are daffodils starting to grow!! I was a little bit suprised.....

I can feel some senoritis coming on.....I've been fighting it for a while, but its a losing battle....I was doing pretty good up until the Christmas break....once I came back from that.....not good....and the problem is that I still have important classes that I need to pass to be able to graduate....Economics is a requirement, as well as gym...plus I have my AP class that I need to complete because I had put that as a class on my college apps and I don't think it would look to good to all of a sudden drop out of that class....I still need to keep my grades good because I could still lose my spot at the college I was accepted to.....

oh well.....I'm bored....someone comment on this entry or something......

Mood: ....
Listening to: nothing

I am so glad that my sick days are over.....last week was a complete blur....and I actually really can't remember too much of what happened.....that's probably not a good thing...

It's now pretty official: I just mailed in my confirmation of acceptance to Mount Saint Mary College (with a deposit of course) on Sunday.....so unless strange things occur, that's where I'll be going come this fall.......I'm so relieved to finally have some idea of what I'll be doing after high school....

no school yesterday because of the holiday.....spent most of the day doing all of the homework assignments that I had missed when I was out sick.....that was annoying....

that's pretty much it....I can't believe how fast February has been going.....next week will be the start of March, then April...May....June....then I'm completely done....I still can't get my head around it....it just doesn't seem real.....

Mood: ugh...

Well, I've got some good news and some bad news.....

Good News: I was able to complete my FASFA application( financial aid) last night, so I don't have to worry about that for the time being....

Bad News: I'm still sick, I ended up not going to school today, and I'm not too sure about if I'll go tomorrow, I'm feeling a lot better, but then again I thought that I was doing better yesterday until I started having a coughing attack at around 1 AM this morning and never got back to sleep....

I hate having to miss school because I always have tons of stuff to make up.....I know that I missed an exam today, and that's just a pain.....

Whoa....I'm having a little trouble trying to get the computer screen in focus.....I think I may need to ease up on the Dayquil....probably the fact that I slept for about 8 hours (starting at 8AM this morning) isn't helping.....I think I need to go and lay down.....

Mood: .....
Listening to: myself.....hacking up a lung.....

I feel like crap.....I woke up this morning and my throat was killing me, I've had a headache off and on all day, and I can't stop coughing....I have no idea how I got through school today.....I don't even remember what we did....

The minute I got home (around 12:45PM) I fell asleep on the couch and didn't wake up until 4PM......I did take some Dayquil and that seems to be working, though I think that its starting to wear off......urg....

This could not come at a worse time....I only have 2 days left to fill out my financial aid forms or I won't qualify for federal aid to help pay for college...I've been bugging my parents about it for nearly a month, but they still haven't gotten their tax info together....I don't know what's going to happen there..... I know that without some kind of aid coming in, I won't be able to afford the college I want to go to...guess it'll be good old community college

Hello all!! What a great day it is!!!!......

ok....that was a little bit over the top....it's cold, dark, dreary, and I think that it's starting to snow...or at least it's supposed to be....

There isn't a lot going on today......I wish I had about a week off of school to catch up on some sleep, I can barely keep my eyes open.....the weekend's going by way too fast!!!

I don't know why I'm even wasting an entry....but I can think of anything else......

Mood: tired
Listening to: ......radio...i guess

I've been trying to write an entry for more than a week, but everytime I tried, the entry would be lost....weird.....

Anyway....a lot has been happening.... I'm starting to realize what a mistake it was to sign up for comparative government....we've been having class for a little more than a week and we're already behind schedule...that is not good, especially when the A.P. exam is less than 3 months away...we haven't even started on the topics that we'll need to know....I have no idea what we've been doing for the last week....but, it wasn't much....

This whole week, actually starting last Thursday, we've been slowing replacing parts of our kitchen...it was originally going to just be the floor...but so far, the walls have been redone, the ceiling and moldings(sp?) have been painted, and the floor is still in pieces, in the retail boxes they came in.......hopefully we'll have a working kitchen by this weekend....I'm really tired of eating sandwiches because of the lack of a stove.......our refrigerator is now located in the living room....that's been interesting, though now we don't have to go too far to get a snack while we're watching T.V......that's stupid, I know....

I've decided to write a long entry....so I hope this doesn't get erased somehow.....anyway.....

I've realized something.....it's not exactly profound.....but, if you live in the U.S (it might be happening other places, I'm not sure).....you've probably heard all of the problems going on with that "my-space.com" blog site.....I seriously think that it should be shut down.....most of the people who put stuff on there are some of the dumbest, ignorant people out there....this may sound harsh, but when there are 13, 14, 15+ year olds posting these really suggestive pictures and comments, they're only looking for the same kind of attention....it has nothing to do with freedom of expression, they want to "meet" people, and what they don't seem to realize is that the people that are seeing these sites might take things way too far, and by then it'll be too late....

I guess its really popular with a lot of kids....even just walking around school I hear people talking about their "my-space"....I went on the site once, just to see what all of the commotion was about, and I left in about thirty seconds of getting there....it is so very obvious these people are so desperate to have a relationship that they're reaching out into the unknowns of cyberspace....it actually makes me feel kind of sad that they have to do that...

Wow....I haven't written this much in a while....I've given myself a headache....wonderful.....

I don't feel like writing anymore....
