He's not worth it but I can't help it.
I can't talk to him again. I'll push him away.
Is he really that stupid?
I don't understand.
Someone help me.

There's nothing better, I swear.
Anyways,
Wow, this past weekend flew by! Area All-State turned out great. Our director my have been a little nuts and annoying (count singing-one-e-and-a-two-e-and-a, etc. ), but we sounded great. Oh man, all the other groups were awesome, especially band and orchestra.
On Sunday, I basically slept in late and then went to CDYC rehearsal. Fun stuff. Dude, I almost fell asleep while I sang. Crazyness...Still, rehearsal went well.
Then, it was homework/college time.
So today....
Was a great day!
Matrices are pretty easy. w00t.
Ms. Moore was not here, so we watched One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest. We're reading that next probably.
Español was pretty laid back. You know, the usual.
Oh man, we played R. Vaugh Williams Fantasia Theme on Thomas Tallis in orchestra. It's such a gorgeous, but complex, piece. Love it. We're having a combined concert with our local symphony orchestra in March. Sweet.
FIRST BEAUTY AND THE BEAST REHEARSAL TODAY!!!! Well, it was just an information meeting, but still, the show is going to knock your socks off. haha.
Woo, Dad's birthday is today, which means we'll be celebrating later. Unfortunately, I have to go to a town meeting for Public Affairs and write on a paper. That'll cut things short. Poo.
I must go and be cool now. Ciao.

I got called back to audition again today. I acted the monologue again:once, more like Sally Brown and a second time as a diva opera Metropolitan Opera Soprano. Cool, huh?
I hope all goes well now.
Area All-State tomorrow! Sight reading may be in store for a couple spots, but it's all good.

Break out the champagne; a new age has begun. The Democrats took the House of Representatives for the first time in a little over a decade and now we'll be able to steer this country toward a better, brighter future.
Oh, and Rumsfield resigned. HALLELUJA! But is it too late for this to happen?
Anyways, go liberals. We did, guys and gals. haha.
Now let's get to work. ^_^
12:39 AM
I should be in bed. Instead, I'm writing a paper on elections and how political parties influence them, etc for Public Affairs...
So freakin' tired, even after my long power nap...

Dance auditions for B & B went well. I hope so anyways. I actually had a lot of fun.
I really miss dancing. There's absolutely no time for me to take on one more thing. I'd go crazy.
Ooh, and I wish I had gymnastics skills. Then, I really would be awesome. Gack.
Funny, I just practiced "Dancing Through Life" for Area-All State. It's an ok arrangment; I'm not sure if it should be writeen in D Major. Oh well.

Things are going well. Halloween...hahaha.
The '80s will NEVER die. I'm a rockstar too, by the way.
Hmm, Kafka's
Metamorphosis....some weird stuff right here. Wow, modernism is so depressing. haha
The thing with Kafka is his writing is so simple, that 1.) You tend to miss his humor and 2.) You can apply any school of criticism to his work. It's pretty interesting. English will certainly be interesting tomorrow.
So this weekend consists of Utopia Dance, CDYC rehearsal and make-up, dance auditions for B & B, and college apps./essays. Whoa.
