Just Lil' Ole Boring Me

whoo hoo, the weekends almost here!!!

that's all I can think about right now....I don't know why....maybe its because I don't have anything big planned, like last weekend, and that is nice....

right now i'm trying to find an article for my current events homework for my government class....no luck so far....I'm trying to find something that has to do with the politics of Russia.....hmmmm.....

anyway, today was a pretty normal day, though I did have to stay at school longer than I normally do...well, not really, I had music lessons 8th period, but I'm so used to getting out after 6th....it kind of threw me off of my regular schedule....

well, thats all that I feel like saying....not much else going on..

My 2nd trip to Mount Saint Mary College wasn't too bad....it actually was pretty nice.....I learned a little about what a real college class was going to be like....I'm thinking that it was a dumbed down version though, because it was suprisingly like my regular classes at school...the only part I didn't enjoy was when we were all gathered in the gym to watch the "College Bowl", which pretty much consisted of a basketball contest and watching some of my fellow soon-to-be classmates racing around an obstacle course....that was an hour spent sitting on a hard bleacher seat and having to endure the rap-crap music streaming out of the speakers....nice try though and I did get a free t-shirt, so I don't really mind that I had to sit and watch it....

I can believe have fast this year is going...there's only one week left in the 3 marking period, and once the 4th starts, there's nothing left!!! Spring break starts in about 2 weeks, I think, and then after that theres only about 2 months or so of school left....give or take a day or two more off....

My graduation will be on June 25th.....now, there's about three things wrong with it though, I'm not trying to complain, but its a little ridiculous....first of all, its going to be a 6PM....I can't even have a graduation party on the same day that I graduate....secondly, that day is a Sunday, so ,some of my family members won't be able to come because of the time and that they need to work the next day...third of all....the administrators decided that it would be a good idea to have the graduation at the local minor league baseball park!!!??? Does that even make sense? A graduation is supposed to be at the school one graduated from.....we get to have our faces splattered up on the big screen...its true, because it would take way too long to call every person by name to come up to received their diploma....my class consists of about 900 kids....so...do the math....we probably wouldn't leave until after midnight if everyone took the time to get up for the diploma...

That kind of sucks though, I won't get to experience the typical senior graduation day....graduate in the morning( walk across the stage....etc), have a family party in the afternoon/evening, and then maybe go out with your friends to celebrate......everything is going to be backwards.....

Listening to: ....

A lot....I suppose.....

Tomorrow I have to go to "New Student Day" at Mount Saint Mary College.....they say on the invitation that I should bring my enthusiasm along.....::::shudder:::

Its really just so that you can meet the people that will be in your class...but still....its not like I'm going to meet my new best friend at this gathering.....couldn't really find one for the first twelve years of school...whats going to make this any different??? Anyway...that's what I'm doing tomorrow....

Good news....I was able to get a road test appointment, I actually just signed up for it a few minutes ago on the website.....Thursday, April, 27....so I have to wait a little while....but, it'll be nice to get this over with....hopefully I'll pass, I think that I will, but you never know......

well....nothing else new to report....gotta go and practice my parallel parking....

Mood: ....
Listening to: ....

Well, now that I do have a car, I think that its about time to get me a license....makes sense right? Now, because I've put this off for so long, I'm having a hard time trying to get a road test time....so far, I've tried 3 locations that are near me and......nothing available right now......

I know that I'm going to hear about this from my parents....they'll say that I shouldn't have waited for so long...blah,blah,blah.....I really don't what the rush was.....its not that I have anywhere to go.....but, now that I'll have to drive myself to college in the fall, there's a reason for the rush.....

I guess I'll try again maybe early next week....hopefully they'll have something....but, I really want to practice my parallel parking because the last time I did it was during drivers ed.....last summer....so, I'm probably a little rusty.....

Hey! Maybe if I get my license, my parents might back off a little!!! .....yeah, probably not.....

Listening to: ...

It's A New Car!!!!!!!!!

well......not quite, but it is a car and that's what matters....

I finally got my very own car, now all I need is my license, but that will come soon....

Its a 1995 Honda Accord Lx....two-door...kinda a bluish-green color....and I love it!!!

This is the motivation that I needed to get off my ass and take the road-test!!! HAHAHA!!!!!

Mood: ......eh

I was close to finishing up an entry when I accidently hit one of the ads that are on the side of the screen and completely lost everything!!!!!

Crap....I don't feel like writing it all again...but I guess I'll try....

Well....its raining here, and my mood is matching......blah...

I'm thinking about starting my homework, but then again I'm also thinking about watching the movie Pleasantville (with the audio commentary, of course....) I actually just watched it last night, but I really thought the it was pretty cool...so maybe I'll watch it again....I also ended up watching the Saturday Late Night movie, Trojan Wars, which has a pretty stupid concept, but it was funny and it feels good to laugh even at 1:00 in the morning....

well....I think that was it....there was more but, I'm feeling way too apathetic to type any more....

Mood: bored part deux
Listening to: radio

Once again, my life is boring.....there is absolutely nothing going on.....

.......listening to the radio about the Taste of Chaos tour that is going on tonight nearby....its not that I would want to go (because, frankly, most of those bands suck.....at least to me...), but the fact that there has been a line formed outside of the civic center since 10 AM is slightly depressing.....I mean, I could have been one of those idiots standing outside in the cold and rain to go and listen to a concert in one giant mosh pit!!!! I could have.....but, alas I'm not....I'd have no one to go with me anyway,so it doesn't even matter.....

Well, I guess I'll start my homework....

Mood: bored
Listening to: nothing...its boring

bored,bored,bored,bored........it'll just keep on going like this so I think that I'll stop now.....

ok....a few more....bored,bored,bored,bored....how profound is that???!!!!

Mood: ,,,,
Listening to: ,,,,,

yay! I got through the concert last night, and we didn't do that bad....I actually thought that it went well....

the one thing that I did notice was that my band played some of the most dreary,"sad" songs out of all of the performances last night....for most of the concert I was standing in the side wings of the stage with the rest of my section, and the two groups that preceded us played these happy,bombastic, joyful songs, I guess you could say we ended the concert on a slow note....these groups played loud, entertaining, fast-paced songs while we slogged through "Molly on the Shore" (an irish jig, which you would think would be uplifting and light, but I was informed that it wasn't), another slow song that I can't remember the name to, and lastly, Yiddish Dances, which sounded so choppy and untogether that it wasn't a "cool" as it should have been.......

My band is supposed to be made up the the more advanced music students at the school, and after listening to the other bands (specifically the symphonic band which was the one before we came on, and the band that I was in last year.....)sounded really good, though I hate to admit it.....and we.....didn't.....

Now don't get me wrong, I thought we sounded as good as we ever have, but it just didn't seem that good compared to what  else was played that night...granted the wind ensemble does play more challenging songs, which maybe is the reason why the other bands sounded better, but....I dont know what my point is supposed to be....I can't seem to get it in the right  order so that when I type it out, it makes sense....

You know what else is sort of disheartening? When one group is finished and all of a sudden there is a mass exodus out of the auditorium, while your group is coming out on the stage.....I could not believe how many empty chairs there were when we came on (we were last) compared to what there was at the beginning of the concert.....oh well...at least we sounded ok....and I didn't mess up, which is always good....

Mood: tired....
Listening to: everclear

....so tired of band practice.....I'm so glad the concert's tonight....

yesterday I spent close to six hours straight (give or take the half-hour I took to go home to get something to eat...) in band rehearsals...I'm am so sick of these songs now its not even funny...I also had to go in for another two hours this morning, but lets not even go THERE.....

now I just have to get through the concert and I'm home free.....

right now I'm just passing the hours until I have to get dressed in my loverly concert apparel and once again head back to school....I'm starting to really hate that place....

downloading some of that free music that I found...I haven't really found anyone good in a while...sometimes you're lucky and sometimes you're not....

bye for now.....

Mood: fine....
Listening to: stuff

Something has been bugging me and I guess this place is as good as any to rant about it, it really doesn't have to do with anything, but its basically about how certain people act....

At school I go to my locker at least twice a day, no big suprise there, but it seems that no matter what time I go, there's always someone leaning up against it, ALL THE TIME.....there could be empty space in either direction, but its always my locker they decide to block, and when I ask them nicely to move, they give me the evil eye, like I'm disturbing them!!!

Another thing, there are times during the day when the halls are very crowded and I understand that it can be very difficult to not bump into the people who are at their lockers, but the times I'm usually at my locker, the halls are not very full and people STILL crash into me because they either weren't paying attention or they just didn't care enough to move over a foot or two....and even if they do bump into you, they don't say "sorry" or anything, it doesn't have to be a loud and long apology (I'm not much of a talker but I'll at least say "excuse me"...), but at least some kind of acknowledgement would be nice....

No one seems to have any manners anymore, I was always taught to say "please" and "thank-you", but that doesn't seem to be widespread anymore....

Man, listen to me...I sound like I'm 60 years old, complaining about kids today....I'm the same age as all these kids at my school and yet I feel like people are so wrapped up in their own worlds that they don't care how their manners make the rest of the world perceive them!!! Crap....I hate how I'm coming off....this is not how I usually am....ok, I can be a little too critical of people, but I feel like everyone thinks that I'm weird because I know how to act, know what's expected of me and I don't try to get under people's skin....

I've completely gotten myself lost here......
