I got Orientation information in the mail Wednesday! So excited. :D And now all I can think about during school is planning my schedule and finding all these classes and such and man, I'm so tired of school. I don't have much longer left, though. Three weeks from today is my last senior final, and then I have a few days before graduation but those don't really count. I'm looking forward to these last weeks being over. All my teachers are piling on projects and tests and labs and such and wtf APs are over! We're supposed to be lounging about watching movies! sigh.

I decided to go to Warped Tour this summer. It was kind of random and sudden and such because Annie had been talking about going and I was just like "...huh. I really don't feel like going" but then at this jazz band thing I did last weekend a band was playing beforehand and it just reminded me of all the concerts I've been too and how long it's been since I went to a concert (Oct. 31 of my junior year! Over 1 1/2 years!) and I just got the urge to so I bought a ticket and now I'm going. I'm really looking forward to it. Should be awesome.

This week has been pretty fun. Tuesday was Senior Ditch Day Activity Day so we went to Knotts which actually ended up being a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Wednesday we just had a senior meeting in the morning which was the most pointless thing ever. This guy from Monster.com came to talk to us but it was all very obvious and boring stuff and no one was paying attention and he talked for like an hour. And by then everyone was bored as hell and just wanted to leave so they ignored all the actually important info they gave us about commencement and such. They should've just handed us a packet with the info. The rest was pointless.

Yeah, anyways. I have nothing really to do now, so I think I'm going to stare at my course catalogue for a few more hours. I am still planning on doing a "Favorite Gilmore Girls Moments" post (and I'm thinking I'll do one for Veronica Mars, too. I think I'm going to start a tradition for myself where I always make favorite moments picspams for when shows I like end. Unless they're only like 4 episodes like the first season of Wonderfalls (I'M STILL MAD AT YOU, FOX, FOR THAT!) in which case... that wouldn't really work) but... I'm so excited about college and all these courses that I can't stop thinking about them. It's so fun to plan out possible schedules. Except when you think you have one perfectly planned and then it turns out you didn't account for an extra lab-type class that's right during a class you really wanted to take. (Next semester I'm totally taking the class on dinosaurs, damnit!)

SAT scores this morning! I got a 690 reading, which is 10 points higher than the highest score I got on the practice tests this summer, and I got a 690 writing, which is around the lowest writing scores I've gotten. The essay got an 8, so yeah, not as good as it could've been. But the math! I got an 800! How freaking insane is that?! So, overall, 2180! 70 points higher than my highest practice test this summer! Awesome. I'm so happy about that. Now I don't have to worry as much about retaking it. I'm satisfied with my score, but I may retake it just to see if I can boost up the writing, because I know I can do a lot better on it than I did. So yeah, anyways, there's a load off my mind.

Also got those essays on Canterbury Tales we wrote back on the day Veronica Mars premiered back. I got a 42.5/50, which is an 85! I'm so happy about that, you have no idea. And if that wasn't good enough, she sclaed the essays out of 45, so now my score is a 94, and that's enough to bring my grade up 6 percent to a 85! I'm so happy. :D I know my grade won't stay that high up, but at least it helps for now.

Nintendo Fusion Tour next Monday! I'm so excited. It should be awesome.

I think Prison Break is returning tonight? I thought it was next week, along with Arrested Development, but I saw a promo last night when I was watching a little bit of the Prison Break marathon that was on FX (like, 10 min of it, maybe), and it said it was coming back tonight. I should probably check on that.

Wheee, I got this CD I ordered a couple days ago, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out from Panic! At the Disco. They're playing with Motion City Soundtrack, Fall Out Boy, The Starting Line, and Boys Night Out at this concert I'm going to on Halloween. Amazon.com said it wouldn't be here till the 18th, but it totally lied.

Today was kind of rough: quiz in every period from 1st to 4th. The Euro one was actually way easier than I thought it would be. The chemistry one... eh. I don't think I did exceptionally well. I need to start studying more for chem, because I only have a 91 and I'm afraid it'll drop lower once we start getting into harder units. =/ The pre-calc one was fine until I went back and realized I had done one problem entirely done. Right as I erased all my work and answer, the bell rang. guh. I think I scribbled something down. Hopefully I can get some partial credit. French was easy, even though my entire studying time for it was for 5 minutes during break.

PSAT tomorrow! I really want to do well, because I think I have a chance at qualifying for a National Merit Scholarship, and that would be awesome. So, after briefly checking up on my friendslist, I'll probably spend the rest of the afternoon/night studying, with a possible break to watch Lost.

Ah. Yesterday was pretty awesome. Well, most of it.

SATs from 7:40 to 1:15ish. I managed somehow to get put in the same room as Emma and Kiyoshi which was nice because then I had someone to talk to during the breaks. The SATs themselves weren't too bad. I can't really judge how I did, but I don't think I did much worse than my practice tests this summer.

Then rushed to the football game. Mrs. Bentley showed up around halftime to watch us perform our show. eep. After halftime, I rushed to the car and then off to the Home Depot Center for the concert.

The Green Day/Jimmy Eat World/Against Me! concert )

No pictures, because the Home Depot Center doesn't allow cameras or anything, and I didn't want to risk trying to sneak my digital camera in.

I was going to go to the animal shelter this morning, but the gate was closed and locked and stuff and there was only one other car in the parking lot, so I left. ...it's going to be really hard to get my hours in this month.

Man, I'm so sore today. Pretty sunburned, too. But the pain is totally worth the experience.

Pictures from Warped Tour! )

Yeah, the pictures came out kind of crappy. Oh well. The pictures aren't really that important to me, being there was far cooler.

Also, got my report card yesterday. I ended up getting a B in English, which isn't surprising, but a bit disappointing. I had hoped that some miracle had occurred and I had actually done incredibly well on my final essay and on the final test, but I guess not. Oh well. It's not the end of the world, as I did get A's in the rest of my classes, and A.P. US History is an extra point class, so I still have a 4.0 GPA. But still, a bit disappointing.

I feel like redoing my walls. I have a bunch of magazine clippings of bands I like (almost all from Alternative Press) on my walls. Last time I completely redid them was February, and I have a lot more things to put up. Hm. Perhaps I'll start that later today.

Yeah. I fucking love Warped Tour.

Massive Warped Tour post )

Yeah. I go to a good number of concerts, but Warped Tour is my favorite every year. Can't wait until next year already. :D

Edit: Motion City Soundtrack will indeed be a part of this Fall's Nintendo Fusion tour featuring Fall Out Boy... Joining us as well on the bill will be our buddies in The Starting Line, plus Boys Night Out and Panic At The Disco.

[dies] Yeah. I must get tickets to this. God, I hope there'll be a show near me [i.e. closer than L.A.] and that it's on a Saturday since that's the best day for concerts, provided that I don't have a field show (for marching band) that die. But yeah. Must go to that show.
