Ummm I think I'll start this off with a small apology. I could have written more this summer, but I was a lazy butt and didn't. So the Amber Cage series will be restarted sometime next week. I promised my spiritual guide that I would stop letting my dreams slip....and she looked at me with those all knowing eyes, I grumbled....pulled out my "manuscript" and began re-reading my story to remember the details....cause I hate organizers.
That sentence above is called a stream of thought.
They rock.
Crime and Punishment is an excellent book...and as my English teacher likes to keep saying, it's not a punishment to read. I don't know how many people had their high school English teachers force this book down their throats, but in my opinion it has been so totally worth it. I think it's the first book for school that I've actually been reading and not just skimming for the answers.
AP English has only been a minor hassle to deal with...at the beginning when she was having us do an essay in three days. Granted...that's how long it should take to write a decent page essay...but she neglected to mention all she wanted was a page. That week kinda bothered me....but now we're reading this book and having conversations about the motifs (<----I'm in love with that awesome word because it makes anyone who says it sound smart).
Uhh...Oceanography is dull...boring and makes me wish occasionally that I'd thrown my luck in with physics. I'm good at physics...that's the trouble with senior electives though...I'm probably one of the few students who takes them to actually take a class and not get out the easy way. Bleh.
Photography (1) is awesome. Awesome teacher. Awesome stuff. It's a real class too, she expects something of us, even her seniors. I just sort of with Contexii-same and Zen were up here so that I could take black and white pictures of them. Contexii-sama would look really good in a black and white photograph ^_^. Maybe I'll talk him into it sometime...
Chorus as always is an adventure. I sit between Collin and a friend from last year, thus completely screwing up my ability to hear the alto notes (and I'm apparently an alto 2 as of this year...no more high notes for me >< wink . I didn't make Show Choir...but that's....I'll live. I mean, who really needs to stay after school from 2 to 4 to be apart of some silly show choir and pay $60 for a dress that would have to be adjusted anyway because they never seem to arrive and fit their owners.
>---AP English would have gone here----<
Meteorology is an awesome class...though the teacher is a little off his rocker about some things. See...my Dad used to be a meteorologist so I know a great deal about the subject already...I more took the class to make my Dad happy. That an it was the only other half year science course they offer to seniors. It's a good class.
Honors Pre-Calculus...*bangs head on the desk*...is going to be the end of me. I have this tiny secret that I don't tell anyway (but I like you people so I'll tell you now)....I actually really like numbers. Numbers don't tend to lie, and when they do it's your fault. Numbers don't talk back, they lay there on the page and you can manipulate them to do your bidding. This love started last year when my math teacher pointed out to me (when I was having a lot of trouble getting my mind around certain concepts)...that math is a language like any other. I love languages, so how could I hate math? That made no sense to me...but I listened...as I'll tend to do...and now I love numbers and math. And I'm good at math too. Really good when I want to be. But I keep making these stupid little mistakes...
If you've gotten this far (without skimming) give yourself a pat on the back and prepare yourself for more.
I made NHS....or rather I am a "prospective" member. I think that's just what they call it. I hope it's what they call it. I don't think I could handle being turned down so late in the game. I donno, I suppose I find out Tuesday. (For those wondering NHS is the National Honor Society...you only get in if you have outstanding academic achievement and I suppose it just makes me feel a little better knowing that all the pushing I did paid off in some form. That and I don't have to sing in the assembly...just for one number and then I think I'm free. And my Mom is changing her schedule just so she can come see me get called smart >< wink
Ah shoot....I was gonna write about more...but I have to go and get ready. Damn John being home this weekend and wanting to spend time >< It's like we're dating or something. Suddenly I understand what the article meant when it was talking about the things I forgot I loved about being single....one of them must have been laying on your back all day in your pjs not having to care. *giggles* Actually I'm looking forward to getting out of the house today...I need to get my friend Shay a birthday gift....and I need to get my mind off certain topics...that I wanted to talk about.
I think most of all I just wish that...I knew. I suppose this snapshot might be enough for some...
"You saw the photograph, an image of me. You'll never see me like this. It's never felt like this..."
