knock knock......

Who's there? Hello?

Is anyone there?

Hmmmm...I guess it was just the wind. So much for that joke...It had a great punch line, too.



So have I forgotten that this exists? Yes. Last post was February, so I guess that makes (hmm...6-2=4) four months of no contact! I don't even know what to write about, since it's been so long...

Well, I tried cocaine for the first time. Just kidding. Or am I? Yes, I'm kidding, but thanks for asking. I also broke 3 ribs after accidentally falling into the oven, and one of them turned into an Elm tree. Just kidding, it was an Oak. Just kidding, there was no tree, it was a pillow. Just kidding, nothing turned into anything, but I did break my ribs, no I didn't.

I guess I'll leave it at that...

wElCoMe BaCk

I'm a little bit sorry that I haven't written in a while. I know around 4 people read this but I also write for myself...it's a nice way to expel some thoughts without peer pressure (??? idk ???).

SOOOOOOO IT'S BEEN A WHILE, HUH? I GUESS I SHOULD (LYKE) GIVE AN UPDATE ON MY LIFE (LYFE (SP?)).

I've been accepted into the University of Maryland. I'm pretty sure I've been accepted for music, but this girl I met online (scandalous???) is in the same position as me. We were told that we would receive a separate notification from the School of Music, but in our acceptance e-mail it lists our major and we both have music listed. She e-mailed the Offices of UG Admissions at both the School of Music and the University...here they are:

Congratulations on your acceptance to the University of Maryland! I know the university is very competitive to get into, so you should be proud of your accomplishment. Please remember that the School of Music releases decisions for music separately from the university. You must wait until you receive your letter from the School of Music to know your decision for music. The letters are going out in today’s mail and should reach you within the next few days.

-School of Music

Congratulations! The major you and college see your confirmation site is the
college and major to which you have been admitted.

We look forward to welcoming you to the University of Maryland.

-University

cLuElEsS............

Such as, HOUSE is on and I have to watch it. I will update more often! TTYL bai.

so I was thinking......

Now that the trial (excuse me...preliminary hearing) is over, it's time to get back to reality.

College.

What? College? What's college?

Apparently I'm supposed to do this thing called get accepted into college. Where? I don't know. I know you all have heard this lament before. but I have no idea what I want to do. I have so many interests, but I just consider them hobbies. I need a career, not more hobbies, but I can honestly say I do not picture myself in any career. I don't not have ambition...if I had started playing tennis a looong time ago, I could definitely picture myself going pro. Unfortunately, I didn't start tennis at age three, I started music. NOT THAT I DISLIKE MUSIC. At this point in my life, viola is my only non-negotiable. However, majoring in something else besides music is also a non-negotiable. The problem is deciding what I like enough to get a degree in. I've gone back and forth between pre-medicine, and I guess I'm at chemistry/pre-med now. Why? Je ne sais pas. I know there is always time to change, but......yeah.

But.

Such As.

ummm you dere?

So I'm clearly doing something wrong, and I would like someone to tell me what it is. Things don't seem to be working smoothly and everywhere I turn there's something else to do. Someone could say I'm not doing some things right, but I don't think that's an issue. I'm just doing what I do, and if that all turns out to be wrong, I guess I'm screwed for life because I'm not planning on any major life changes. I just want to figure out this so called life of mine and get it back to Kansas, cause we've been out of Kansas for a while. By that I mean a while. So what's going on???????? I feel like an infinite stack of documents that need to be organized in alphabetically, but it's impossible to do that because there are always more to organize. WOAH! But is that normal? What's normal? Will I ever be put back together again? WAIT! Did I ever even fall off the wall? Who knows? Maybe being normal is abnormal, and vice versa. Maybe I'm OK...let's find out after I sniff this white out HAHAHA JUST KIDDING I STICK TO DRY ERASE MARKERS errrrrrrr...........I mean organic honey and large onions.

Got any gwapes?

here's what happened......

ok SO........here it is; the saga of AP English vs. administration:

At the beginning of the year, Ms. Berry said that if she is absent, we do not have to come to early bird.

• early bird is before the regular school day

Yesterday, Ms. Berry was not at school. Our class waited outside her room for the entire early bird bell, then a sub came for first bell.

• we were unattended to for almost an hour
  

Today, we were all at school, and, again, the door was locked and the lights were off. Simone went to the office and learned that Ms. Berry would not be coming in today. Therefore, we assumed that we wouldn't have a sub again, and Ms. Berry told us we wouldn't have to come in for early bird, right? We, minus two people, left to go to Coffee Emporium.

This middle part is not clear to me, but someone at school started tripping and sent that one lady (Ms. Grossman?) to the classroom. The two who remained told her where the rest of us were, and they got roasted. Word spread.....

We got back (TECHNICALLY BEFORE SCHOOL EVEN STARTED) and (Ms. Grossman?) was in Ms. Berry's seat and had marked all of us absent. "Did you guys have fun on your coffee break?" she asked. I think one or some replied, "YES!" Then a real sub came (late) and said that we are the good students, the best students, etc...and (Ms. Grossman?) left with an eyeroll, saying, "Oh yeah they're good, alright..."

We started on our work, and Ms. Meyerz (sp?haha) came and told (yelled-ish) us with her usual I'm-better-than-you-and-you-should-be-afraid-of-me attitude and told us we were wrong. We tried to tell her our side, and she said "Well, I'll have to talk to Ms. Berry, then."

ahem....

It is pathetic to be at a school that so desperately wants to change for the better - we were practically force-fed the idea of Positive School Culture on the first three days - but doesn't grasp the fact that respect isn't a one stop shop; it can't just be about students showing respect for faculty and staff. When students feel they aren't respected, they will respond with attitudes far from positive and far from what the school needs; the last thing they will think about is giving respect to the evil adult who just disrespected them. That is the bottom line. If certain authoritative figures can not understand this, our school will continue down the toilet and our image will be completely hampered as we move into the new school.

That's really all I have to say. The end?
