It's Summer 06/16/2011
 
Yes, good old, worry free summer.... If only. As far as my livelihood goes, I'm wonderful. I'm healthy, energetic, working hard not hardly working, and therein lies the negative. I've started driving! Oh boy... I am fail. It's not that I'm particularly bad at it, I just lack the drive to actually... well drive. I have this idea in my head that I'm going to move to a big city with great public transportation... yeah, I guess we'll see how that turns out. Oh and if you're reading this: I was looking at my stats, I know people are visiting this site; I want to know who you are! Leave a comment, tell me what you think. The only way I can improve is with your help. Summer band will be starting soon.... what fun. I could care less about that at this point. I'm not trying to hate on the band, I do enjoy it most of the time, but I just have a lot more running through my mind right now. This school year should run with a bit more ease... I will still have research papers and other projects like that, but I've tried not to overload myself. In fact, I've loaded up on extracurriculars, band, choir, theatre and dance. Four out of seven periods, and only one AP class. Lazy? Perhaps, but also the safest route at this point. I need to boost my GPA. My SATs will only carry me so far (granted, alone they carry me pretty far), I really need to focus. And, that's all I can think about at the moment in my life, the rest is career information, that you'll just have to wait for.

I have a research paper to write however, it doesn't worry me. High school doesn't worry me, I now find myself worrying about college. I think back to what I've said to myself and others in the past, "I don't strive for fame," "I'll be happy wherever I land." I'm now realizing, that's not the case. I want the best, I want to go to New York, I want to spend 3 years at the American Academy for Dramatic Arts, and I want to succeed. I want unconditional success, the unattainable goal. I want, I want, I want. I want so much that I do not have, that I do not see myself getting. I find myself in a position where I look at auditions for college and I think "Am I that good?" If I take a chance and try to put myself where I want to be, will I find myself facing my dreams, or will I be forced to turn my back on my dreams. I wonder if I can afford college. Can I get scholarships? Can I get loans? Should I go into the millitary? I have so many questions, and so few answers at this vital point in my life. Where do I go from here?

Too Much Work... 09/07/2010
 
I'm done, it's over, there is so much work to be done. My schedule is swamped and my grades are slipping, but somehow I'm enjoying it. Well, I'm not really enjoying the bad things, but all the good things that are, essentially, causing the problem just seem to outweigh it, as stupid as that sounds. I think once I get past Ren Fest, my year will be one of my best years yet academically, but until then this is my best year generally. I think I may actually have options for homecoming if I decide to go which depends on money... and not getting rejected. Anyway, until I have a hundred in all my classes, or I"m failing just one, I'll talk to you later.

School... 08/25/2010
 
It's baack... Two AP classes, 3 fine arts, and the Texas Renaissance Festival do not mix. I've had 5 fairly major homework assignments in the first 2 days of instruction... what have I gotten myself into. However, I also had to do my summer reading... in one night, so that kind of added to the stress, overall I still think this is going to be an amazing year. This school year I am in: AP US History, AP English 3, Pre-AP Pre-Calculus, Pre-AP Physics, Chorale, Symphonic Band, and Theatre 4 (not AP... but that would be awesome, why don't we have an AP Theatre class! I actually need that credit!). All of my teachers are absolutely amazing, in fact most of them I already know, and love, my theatre teacher of course is amazing, my Pre-Calc teacher is a genius and really laid-back, my US History teacher is hardcore, eccentric, and get's the job done with gusto in an epically entertaining way, and everyone else is just as good. The biggest drawback of my school this year is our population has grown, a lot. What used to be a comfortable walk through the hallways is now a push and shove to get to class, and worse yet, what used to be an annoying 10 minute lunch line is now an annoying 20-25 minute lunch line, which sucks when you only have 30 minutes for lunch. In band, we have an exchange student! She is from South Korea and is classically trained on piano, we put her on the marimba for the first time today... she's almost finished learning the marching music that took me 2 weeks to learn. And, well, that's all I can say... so... yeah... the end... or is it? Yes it is... for now.... Look I'll talk to you later.

Summer Band 08/05/2010
 
Summer band... ugh, I'm so bored, I'm in the pit this year for marching band, I've been standing inside practicing the glockenspiel for hours every day for the past week. I finally got my drivers ed program, I have a bit more than a month to get my permit before I age out.I must do my summer reading, but I don't know what the assignment is and I can't seem to get to it. That's it.

First things first, very disappointing, I'll still go see all 3 movies, but disappointing nonetheless. Do not see this in 3-D, even though the movie was filmed to be in 3-D it wasn't filmed well, you'll just end up disappointed, 2-D is the way to go the effects look great in 2-D. This had potential, I personally am a huge fan of the Avatar series and simply couldn't help picking apart everything they did wrong... they did a lot wrong, ie. no Avatar State (you get your hopes up because he looks like he's entering the Avatar State, and he does get more powerful, but it's not the exact same idea as the cartoon). The issue, you cant shove 8 hours of content into 2 hours, it doesn't work, all the characters lost their development, everything felt very rushed. A lot of people are complaining about the acting, I don't blame the actors, the script was so badly written I don't even think our greatest veteran actors could do it justice. My overall suggestion, if you are a fan of the cartoon, and can go see it for cheap (I had a giftcard), go for it, if you're not familiar with the show, either wait to rent it from the redbox, or, as much as I hate to say it, don't bother with it at all.

Yesterday 06/20/2010
 
Yesterday was a good day. Goodwill and the mall with my father. At Goodwill I got the soundtrack to HMS Pinafore, on vinyl... but I don't have a record player... one day. The mall was the mall... filled with douches, but it has an Apple store, so I could handle it, also Dippin' Dots. Just an update, without beginning, middle, or end, until there's nothing else to say, I'll talk to you later.

What is there to say about my life right now? It's summer, my life right now is improving myself, physically, in my skills and etc. I actually haven't had much of a summer yet, I spent all last week either helping out the freshmen in my band, and at a theatre conference, granted the conference was a ton of fun. My general life now is actually rather boring, I haven't seen my closest friends in a while, pretty much because they're great friends and understand my focus on my career. Hopefully I'll see them later today, a great finish hopefully. Romantically speaking, I am inept, I'm either far to quiet or far too awkward, I really wish life was scripted. There's nothing more to life for now, so until I find something to be excited about, I'll talk to you later.
