hee. So last night I should've had Symphony at 5:30 but at like 4:45ish the power went off at my home and I didn't think it would reach to the school (I live like 2 minutes from the school, but often the power will go off at my house and it'll only be like my block) but when I was driving me and Galaxy to school the traffic light was off and a policeman was directing traffic and then when we got to school some lights were off but Parsa and some other guy in Symphony told us that it was the generator and I guess it isn't for the band room? I don't know, I didn't go there, but they told me Symphony was cancelled and a lot of people were leaving so I left too and then at 5:48 the lights at my house came back on. hee. So I get to ditch Symphony and still watch Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls and record House. That was pretty awesome.

Anyways, got my final grades in my classes yesterday, and I got a 90.5 in Chem! I totally didn't expect that, because that final was really hard, and I thought I'd gotten like an 80 on it, but it turns out I got a 94! I'm really happy. :D ( Final first semester grades. )

Ah but even though I got a B in English, I totally kicked ass on the final. I was so proud of myself. I got the 2 highest essay grades I've gotten all year, and she showed us how to convert it to an AP scale, and I would've easily gotten a 5 on the actual AP test. Like, not even barely, but right in the middle of the point range for a 5. So that makes me feel a lot more confident about my chances on the AP exam in May. It's still frustrating to know I could've done better but I thought I didn't have a chance so I just didn't bother. This is totally what happened first semester junior year in English, too, and I thought I had learned my lesson but obviously I hadn't. Oh well.

( About the Veronica Mars promo last night... )

Besides the promo, I really enjoyed the episode. I was also happy with last night's Gilmore Girls and kind of can't wait for next week. Haven't watched House yet, probably will this afternoon.

;akjsf I love Raincoats and Recipes so freaking much. It aired Monday and I saw that they were getting to the end of season 4 last week (I watch the episodes pretty much sporadically; sometimes I'll have dinner early and watch it during then, and other times I'm bored and have nothing to do, and so on) so I made sure to record it because I heart that episode so much and I didn't have time to watch it yesterday obviously so I watched it tonight after My Name is Early, and omg that episode makes me so fucking giddy, it's ridiculous. I don't know what other episodes of all the TV shows I've watched get me like that. Weapons of Class Destruction and Hot Dogs, maybe, but this is even better than that because there's so much more interaction (well maybe not more than Hot Dogs) and I don't know. Flowers! The Look! The whole conversation leading up to the two freaking kisses!!! sigh. That's going to keep me giddy for the rest of the night. Favorite GG episode ever, I'd say.

Yeah. Anyways. Recorded House, didn't watch it. Saw My Name is Earl, nothing to say. Saw Monday's Prison Break. I had stuff to say, but I don't remember now, except that I can't believe how much more I'm enjoying it than I expected to before the season premiered. I'm glad it's back from hiatus.

Had Symphony today. I find it so amusing that Mr. Austerman keeps thanking me for doing Symphony. I mean, it's all like randomly one day "Hey, Michelle, want to do Symphony? You won't get school credit for it, though. Oh, and did I mention? You're only in these two movements we're playing from this piece, but one of them all you play is this solo, and the other is essentially entirely a duet between you and Emma." Like, no, sounds terrible. I can't believe I agreed to do this. heh. I would've done it even if I hadn't had pretty awesome parts. I don't care about the credit, either. It just helps me to put it on my college apps, anyways! I can be all "Oh, see, I didn't even get credit for this, but I did it anyways because I'm dedicated to music." Or something. It's sort of an extra curricular activity, right?

I'm starting to get all obsessed with Panic! at the Disco now. I love how this always happens; I sort of like a band, then I see them in concert, and I go insane over them.

My entire body is one giant bruise. Well, ok, not really, but it certainly feels like it. I noticed I have a lot of bruises on my right side, from my hip down to like my knee.

For some reason I thought I had something else to say, but I totally don't remember it, so whatever.
