Ah, done so much in two days. When school starts, everything gets so busy!

The football game Thursday was... weird. I mean, the show went well, especially for our first performance, and most of the times in the stands were fun. But there was just... bizarreness, and playing over the other marching band (or them playing over us), and the alto saxes just falling back into utter chaos. Oh well. Hope next game will be better. (Our team lost, of course, by the way. Our team pretty much sucks.)

Today was busy. I had my essay 5th period but in 3rd I got this note to go to the principal's conference room at the start of 5th period for a mandatory meeting. I kind of worried about missing any of the essay time, but I knew it would be for National Merit Semi-Finalist qualifiers (which it was) and others in my English class would have the same problem. There were... 38 National Merit Semi-Finalists from my school which is totally ridiculous, because the other three high schools in the district combined get like... less than that. ...oh, but it's top secret for some reason and I can't tell anyone but my parents and my best friend or something, according to the school administration, but whatever. I'm not really worried about that.

Somehow when I was getting up at the table in the room, though, I scraped my ring finger on my left hand and it hurt really badly and then it started bleeding and I didn't have a band-aid and then I had to write the essay and blood was just like pooling there and I kept trying to make sure no blood got on my essay because that would be gross. blah. Oh, and so if there are any typos here, it's due to that because there's this band-aid on the finger now so it won't bend properly and it's harder to type for me.

The essay didn't go terribly, I guess. I don't think I did wonderfully, but for this essay you can't get lower than a C, and I don't think it was that terrible? I hope? I guess we'll see.

After school was marching band pictures and that was just kind of blah because we almost didn't get a senior picture because a few seniors didn't buy a package of pictures when they should of (not that I blame them, because it's not like they knew and did it on purpose, but it was just disappointing because I wanted a senior picture). But then Richard's mom agreed to pay for them if they'd pay her back, so it worked out all right. After that I went to Cha with Emma, Galaxy, and Soan, and then Justin and Andrew came for a little while, and we hung out for a little then I dropped Galaxy off at school and Emma came to my house and we did homework (well I kind of failed at that, but I did finish my chemistry assignment! Even if it did take like 4 hours...) and then she left at like 11.

Yeah. So I'm tired now, and next week is going to suck because we have an essay on The Scarlet Letter and there's no block schedule next week, and... yeah. It'll suck. Oh well.

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.

So, I didn't end up going to the football game. I got to the school at like 5:15 and the call time was 5:30, and I started to feel sick. I've been feeling sick on and off all week, and I just really didn't see myself going through a whole show and playing in the stands and so on. I stood around for awhile trying to decide if I should ask my mom if I could go home or not, and I ended up getting more time than I should've, because the buses were supposed to be at the school at 5:30, and by 6:00, they still weren't there. Finally around 6:00 I told my mom I wasn't feeling well and so we went home. I took a nap for like an hour and I felt loads better. I'm kind of tired now, but I don't feel as sick as I did before, which is good. Not planning on skipping school tomorrow, unless I start vomiting or something. I may not have even missed anything, though, because they might not have even gone to the football game because of the buses that failed to show up.

Yesterday was fun. Hung out with Jackie, Emma, Soan, Justin, Ariel, Jessica, and the trombone who's not Caroline who's name I can't spell (Hari? Hori? Something like that.) at Del Taco, and then went to the football game. That wasn't quite as fun, but it was more enjoyable than the ones freshman year. The show was kind of a disaster, but eh. We did only learn the last few pages Wednesday, and we've never run first movement straight to second, so it could've been worse. After the game, I went to Lee's Sandwiches and met up with Annie. More people were supposed to come, but the only ones that did were Soan and then a bunch of people I'm not really friends with. But it was great being able to see Annie. :)

This morning was the ACT. All the sections except the essay were so much easier than the SAT. Seriously, if you're a junior/senior, take the ACT. I mean, take the SAT too, if you want (I'm planning to), but... take the ACT just to see. Because I know Richard said he got a way better ACT score than SAT score, and it's a lot less painful test to take. The essay sucked, though, because it was like... more specific, and I wasn't prepared for that sort of essay. I think I did really horribly on it, actually. I don't think my examples had anything to do with what I was supposed to say. And I remembered I was going to say something else at the end, but I forgot about it until our time was up. blah. At the end the person was saying when we'd get our scores, and she was all "They should be mailed in about 47 weeks" and I was all "...uh... wait a sec...?" And then someone asked her and she was all "What? No! I didn't say 47! I said 2 to 4!" And I would've understood if she said 4 to 7 because that sounds like 47, but I don't know where the seven came from when she was saying 2 to 4. But. Anyways.

I heard Friday morning on KROQ that Head Cases has already been cancelled. It's a little disappointing because I did like the show, but I wasn't incredibly invested in it, and I already have both Veronica Mars and Lost to watch Wednesdays at 9. But still, after only 2 episodes? geez. And I thought cancelling Wonderfalls after 4 was bad (though Wonderfalls > Head Cases).

So yeah, I've decided for sure that I'm just going to do the seminar project this weekend. Then I'll give it to Seher Monday and she can tell me if there's anything she wants to add/change, and we can maybe talk about how to present it if we have time. The only thing I'm afraid of is that she may do it all herself, too. But that's ok. We can just choose whoever's is better and use that. In any case, I'd rather get it done with and let her take all the credit than just leaving it and hoping something works out that we could work on it on Monday.

The football game last night was pretty good. It was more fun for me than last year, and we performed the show all right. We have football games the next 3 or 4 weeks in a row. Maybe more, but that's all I saw. They're all on Thursdays, too, except for one in 2 weeks is on a Friday, and another Oct. 8 is on a Saturday. eck.

School )
I realized I don't have Pranav in any of my classes this year. This is a very, very good thing.

Still haven't watched The O.C. or Reunion yet, but I will today, probably after I check up on my friendslist.
