she whispers something in my ear; the message is unclear.

I can't concentrate on anything. It's unfortunate.

My stomach is upset with me for some reason, and I'm not feeling all that great overall. Mentally and physically.

I had another good/bad day. Although my days are rarely amazing, I hardly ever stay in a bad mood all day. Something good happens or someone cheers me up. Sometimes I go home unhappy, but it's rare that I was like that all day. I had that anatomy test today, which I'm pretty sure I failed because I didn't know any of the short answer. Sure, that's probably my fault, but I'm studying the only way I know how. I read the entire chapter, highlighted, took in depth notes, studied those notes intensely, but it doesn't matter apparently. I was incredibly angry after that test - like angrier than I've been in years, honestly - and I couldn't do anything but just go study for APUSH some more. Just to make myself feel a little better, I tore out all my anatomy notes, threw them in my locker, and then ripped up my genetics notes before sitting down with the Princeton Review. I liked English today though; we talked about the end of the year, and I felt like such a part of the group - which isn't all that unusual, but is always nice nevertheless. Yearbook, photo, and history were okay. I was still unhappy, but I wasn't angry anymore.

But instead of going to assembly today, future AP English Lit kids had a meeting with our future teacher to choose the author for our future research paper [and summer reading]. That stressed me out more than anything. I have absolutely no idea how to choose. I freaked out the entire time, even though I was the 49th person to choose [after switching numbers with four of my friends for a later number]. I asked for more time, but I was incredibly stressed out and anxious about everything again. We went straight to lunch, and while we were waiting in line, my friends started talking about the anatomy test; I was so emotionally unstable that I was literally two seconds away from crying and I was sort of yelling and swearing, but whatever. Once we got to the table, the day got better. I don't even know why, but for some reason, the conversation at lunch cheered me up. And then M.E. started writing all over me in free period and screwing with my computer so I hit her a bunch of times, but she wouldn't stop and then she complained to me. Whatever.

We studied after school and that made me feel better because I think I know a lot more than I realize. [PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEBETRUE.]

someday you will get the best of me.

I told myself the other day that I'd try to blog everyday for a while [like BEDA but a month late], because this is really the only self-reflection that I do [ever] and I wanna see if my writing changes. I dunno; we'll see.

I should most definitely be reading my pieces on feminism/working on my feminism assertion or studying for the BAZILLION tests I have, but I can't bring myself to work on any of it. Instead, I watch stupid YouTube videos and write shit blog entries. And realizing just how music ADD I am.

I - I don't listen to music anymore, really. Just in the car so it's not silent. But... I don't know. Shows are still fun, and I lovelovelove them, but they're not the same as they were. Just a different feeling to the whole thing. Maybe I'm growing out of it or some shit.

We got the book of our class's personal essays back today in AP English Language. I despise my personal essay, and seeing it published makes me want to cry a little.

I hate that our teachers moved our anatomy test after I had already studied and mine won't tell us what's going to be on there, so I'm like "well. I studied, but usually when I study, I fail anyway." I'll probably do badly, but at least I'll get it over with. I'm scared for the anatomy final; I'm going to have to do well, 'cause, well, I've done really badly in the class. Ugh. My teacher REFUSES to believe that I actually read and didn't have any questions about the material, so he said he was going to give me a bad grade for not asking questions. That's just ridiculous. You're going to give me a bad grade because I UNDERSTOOD THE MATERIAL?! Ugh. I just hate that class overall.

Obviously, I don't have a lot to talk about. I'm mostly just procrastinating. I don't want to read/study. Feminism isn't my thing, and APUSH is freaking scary.

Australia is Full of Awesome

Listening to: ...But What Will They Say? by This Providence
What I Should Be Doing: Studying for my English test, my Latin test, my Chem test, my WHAP inner/outer circle, and sleeping
I'm Also: Talking to my friends [actually, I'm watching them talk about the poems on the English test and not contributing] and wishing my tummy wasn't bothering me and charing my iPod

I miss Lindsey and Lauren.

This week sucked.

Tomorrow's gonna be worse. =) 3 tests and an inner/outer circle and a filming assignment.

... Bob the Butler is Like My Favorite Movie Ever.

Listening to: Those Days You Felt Alive by Spitalfield
What I Should Be Doing: Sleeping

Yeah, school still kind of stinks. I can't wait till Friday... Last week felt like FOREVER and the weekend went by WAY too quickly. =( And we almost had like four tests this week. [Tuesday - Latin and Chemistry; Thursday - AP World History; Friday - English] It's only the fourth week of school... I guess it's not that bad, but it still seems like a lot. Especially since we started reading Beowulf like over the weekend and we're having a test over it this Friday. We didn't read the whole thing, but we read a ton of it in like three days. That scares me.

Latin just sucks. A lot. Unreasonable grading, awful tests, stupid assignments, etc.

According to my friend, I'm very opinionated. I knew that and I didn't. xD I didn't realize it showed so much... Well, I guess it can't be that bad since I've got friends. =P That just kind of surprised me.

Uh. I can't wait till this weekend. I feel like I have plans for some reason, but I can't remember them... 3 PM on Friday can't come soon enough. This week's taking a long time.

We're filming in my digital video class. I like the class so far, but I really haven't learned anything except the technical names for everything. Like 'extreme wide shot' and 'medium close shot' and 'roll tape' and 'gaffer.' I'd like to learn about composition and lighting and the equipment and how to do like everything. xD But it's still good. I have fun. =)

I really want Psychostick's CD... Beer and ABCDeath both MAKEMYLIFE. ILOVETHEM. And I really like a lot of the other songs tooo... xD I wonder if I can order that... =)

Yeah. I got a $50 iTunes gift card yesterday [I begged my parents to go to the store and buy me one with my own money and it finally happened] and spent it REALLY fast. I love my music. xP I actually want like 7 more songs now, too. xP That's sad... Ah well. Christmas's coming up. Okay, not really.

Christmas and Thanksgiving break will be SOOOO nice.

Okay, I'm gonna go to bed, I think. xD

I really like the song from the 'ska dancing' video. *happy*
