Today was freshman registration and I got to meet all my freshmen mentees. They seemed nice, but they weren't very talkative. One of them just moved three weeks ago from France which I found cool. I didn't speak any French to him, but I told his dad I was in AP French and I could attempt to understand his son speaking French if he spoke slowly and with small words.

Last night was a Ruby's night for band at the Woodbridge center and as I was backing out, I backed into a parked car. I freaked out because it was really loud, and I thought I had done serious damage. I parked and went to check it out and I didn't see anything at all, but this old woman had been driving by and saw and stopped I guess to make sure I didn't just leave and she was like "No, you hit him on the side!" and I looked over there and I still didn't see anything, and then she was like "No, see this chipped paint?" and there were just like... a few tiny chips of paint that no one would even notice if they hadn't seen it hit but the woman was like "They'll want to touch up that paint. You should leave your insurance information. It won't cost you too much" and then I was like "uhhhh..." because I was thinking wtf that's nothing! and she was all, snottily "Do you even have insurance?" and I was like "wtf yes stop talking to me like I'm 12" (except not really, I just said yes) and then I was like "I'm going to go get some paper and pencil to write down my info" and then waited for her to leave and then I left. But I mean, seriously, if I had left info, they probably would just take advantage and get other stuff fixed, and I don't think they'd even be able to find where I hit them, it was that small. I could barely find it, and I was the one who hit them! I mean, I'd leave info if it was something bigger, but... that was nothing. It still freaked me out, though. I thought it would be much worse than that.

So tired. We have a parent meeting for marching band tonight where we have to perform and my mom volunteered me to help distribute uniforms and stuff which means I have to be there until late which is irritating. Oh well. Just one more day of band camp left, and then the beach party!

A slightly more positive post than my last:

1) Oh, man, I just watched the season 1 finale of Doctor Who. I always forget how freaking amazing that episode is. It's definitely one of my favorite episodes of television ever. I mean, "my doctor" and "You were fantastic. And you know what? So was I" and just everything. sigh. I cry from like start to finish, it's just so amazing.

2) My French teacher decided randomly, after telling us that our final was going to be 200 points and would consist of 50 multiple choice and a like 500 word in-class essay, to cancel our final. She didn't give a reason, but I'm pretty sure it's just because she didn't want to have to write the final or grade them. But whatever, I'm not complaining. Unfortunately, her complete asshole-ish-ness to Galaxy totally takes away from cancelling our final. She accused Galaxy and Kimberly of copying each other on this French packet we had to do (based on the fact that one sentence in each of their paragraphs was similar. It didn't even have the same construction) and so she took like half off the 127 point packet for Galaxy and it brought her 91 down to an 88. Bitch. She seriously just hates Galaxy. She needs to be fired, like, now.

3) I got selected for this freshman mentoring program (called IMPACT) I applied for in like April which I thought I had been rejected to since it's been like 2 months since I applied. We had a training sort of session Thursday and I'm in this group with a bunch of people I don't know and it sucks and I have no idea why my team leader chose me and I wish she hadn't because if she hadn't then Richard could've and I would be in a group with Richard, Galaxy, Andrew, and Michele Wong. sigh. So much better. We did some stupid activities and I'm not so sure about this so far, but I like the idea of what it's going to be in the fall, so I guess I'll stick with it. Hopefully I'll get to know my team better and it won't suck as much.

4) I'm... kind of feeling fine about the whole section leader thing, now. I mean, it's not that I didn't want it, because I really did, but I think the wait was worse than pretty much anything else. Finally knowing is just kind of a relief. And I vented all my frustrations earlier, so I've gotten those out. Yeah, I would like to be section leader, but Emma will do a great job, I'm sure, and hopefully it'll be a lot of fun next year. So now I just have to concentrate on getting appointed as Historian for BEC. I'm kind of nervous about that because I think there are a good number of people trying out and I really want it, but I have several reasons why I think they should choose me which I'll tell them and hopefully they'll choose me.

5) I watched De-Lovely tonight before Doctor Who. I heart John Barrowman. And his voice! ah! Such a lovely voice! Small part, but I loved every minute he was on screen. ...heh, and, of course, the rest was good too. I was just kind of distracted during it, so I don't think I enjoyed it as much as I should have, but oh well.

6) I can't believe there's only 1 real week of school left (and then of course finals, but that week doesn't really count). It seems like I've been waiting for the end of school for awhile, and all of a sudden it's here and it doesn't seem real. I almost don't want it to end now, just because it's been such an awesome year. A million times better than sophomore year, and even better than freshman year. Here's to hoping next year is even better.
