First off, Multi-Fandom Friending Meme! Welcome to all my new friends! :D

So, I've successfully gotten Galaxy in love with Wicked. I rule at life. Now I just have to convert every single other friend of mine into loving it.

This week is the Band and Orchestra District Festival which means a bunch of bands and orchestras come to my school and play in front of judges and get scores and the people in the bands and orchestras at my school help run it. So that means I pretty much don't have school on Thursday and Friday since I'll either be playing in the festival or helping out. I'm being a guide, sight-reading... helper?, and floater. The floater kind of annoys me since it means you essentially do nothing, but I felt better about that because Emma switched with me for one of the groups I was guiding and now I get to guide Woodbridge Wind Ensemble, which Annie is in, and means that I get to see her for sure for the first time in forever.

We finished the 1992 version of Wuthering Heights. So terrible. It's supposedly the best version, but I don't think that's saying much. It was just totally ridiculous. But still, very entertaining to watch, I suppose.

blah. English unit test and pre-calc quiz tomorrow, so I should probably be studying now.

So, uh. Today was interesting. This morning I was running late and in a hurry, so I wasn't paying attention to things as closely as I normally do. And I have this thing that hooks into my cigarette lighter in my car and attaches to my iPod so it plays over the radio. And when I opened the car door, it moved and I didn't see where but I was too much in a hurry to deal with it. Anyways so I left my house and the car sounded... weird. Like I could hear the air outside. So I looked on my dashboard and sure enough the passenger door was open. My car doesn't start beeping when a car door is open, unlike my mom's car, which is what I'm used to, so yeah. I don't think I can be fully blamed for not knowing it was open. Anyways, it was open because I had slammed the door on the ipod attached to the cord. But after pulling over to the side of the road and opening the door and shutting it fully, I found that my ipod was no longer attached to the cord. And I drove back up to my house (I hadn't been driving for even a full minute, I was just like 15 seconds down my street) and looked around but I couldn't find it anywhere. And also, did I mention that it had been raining? So yeah. And I was afraid of being late/not being able to find a parking space so I left, and yeah. My iPod is now gone. And I told my mom and she has no sympathy for me and says if I want a new one I have to ask my dad and blah, it's not fair, because my dad totally got a new iPod because he felt that his mini iPod didn't hold enough songs. Right now I'm actually able to use my dad's old one, but ugh. I want my own. And I'd like a full iPod rather than a mini, which is what I had. Oh well. I'll bug him later, and hopefully I'll get one. It'll be easier to get one from him than my mom because he spoils me so much more. asl;kfj ugh I'm so pissed at myself now. I really loved my iPod. :(

Finally finished Wicked (stopped reading it after the 4 day semester break when I went to San Francisco and started reading it again Sunday night). I actually really enjoyed it. Some parts kind of dragged on, but overall I really enjoyed it. Now I really want to see the musical. I've heard that it's very, very different from the book, but I'd still like to see it (especially since I've heard it's better than the book). I listened to like half of the tracks on amazon.com and I ordered the original broadway cast recording of it. So, hopefully I'll like it.

Um, I guess that's it.

Not checking my friendslist, but a brief(ish) update before I go.

All my finals were... eh, ok. My hardest was probably Euro, which was the one I studied the most for. Also, on Monday night as I was studying for Euro, I started feeling worse and worse, and by like 10 PM I just couldn't... process thoughts anymore. I just had a cold, but it really messed with my head this week. I don't know any of my grades yet (2 of my teachers are posting them on blackboard either today or tomorrow, but the rest I won't know till next week) except for French, which I have a 93.9 in. Somehow my grade went up .3% and I don't understand how that's possible considering that the final was ridiculous (like our listening comprehension was "What monument is near the Hotel Quasimodo? How do you get to the Notre Dame? What's a good Vietnamese grocery store to go to?" (Well I'm not sure about the Vietnamese part, but I swear I heard her say the word for Vietnamese in French) But whatever, I don't care.

Ah, but this week was so much fun. Best finals week ever. On Tuesday even though we didn't have Symphony, a bunch of people came to my house and we played mafia for hours and then finally did a little work, and on Wednesday I went to Emma's and she promised that it was just going to be us and Soan and Jackie so we wouldn't have enough to play mafia and we'd actually do work, but instead when I got there we watched half an hour of this movie with Hugh Grant involving Wales and a hill that they want to be called a mountain, and then decided for some reason to start watching Love Actually because Jackie had never seen it. But then Soan and Emma and Simon (Emma's brother) just started talking through it all and I joined in too so I don't know how much she got.

Today was also good, as after school a bunch of people went to Ruby's to have lunch. But it ended up being kind of too much people, and then somehow I got at the table with more people I didn't know than I did, and blah. There was Galaxy who I'm very good friends with and Zi who I guess I'm pretty good friends with but other than that... like they're good people and all, but I wanted to sit with all the people I was better friends with. Oh well. I also bought the book Wicked by Gregory Maguire since I've heard good things about the musical and just saw it sitting there and it looked intriguing. So yeah.

I wanted to talk about last night's new Veronica Mars, but we're leaving for the airport in like 15 min and I haven't packed yet, so I may want to do that. But I'll just say that there were definitely things I didn't like about it, but I think overall I did like it. All the Logan and Weevil parts were ridiculously awesome.

Anyways. Off to pack, and then off to San Francisco. Will be back Monday some time, but I'm not quite sure when.

Edit: Ah! I just checked my grade in pre-calc even though I didn't think she'd have it up yet, but I have an A-! I got an 89.95, so close to not having an A. But I'm happy, since I was really worried about that grade. So, so far, I know that this semester I have 3 A's (the third being Wind Ensemble, and really, I could count Symphony in that as well, but whatever). Euro's really the only one I don't know about, since anything other than a B in English is pretty unreasonable, and I'd have had to get like a 70 on the chem final to not have an A. I'll know all my grades for sure next week, in any case, no point worrying about them now.
