| It's been a while. >.>
Let's start with school first.
Biology - Man, Mrs. Bradley is a crack addict. However, Bio is really easy and I continually ace every test. Nicole and I really need to start out project though. >.> I got an A in here.
History - It started out a lot harder than it really is, I think she is started to get the feel for the subject better. I study for the tests, I do all my notes and homework. It's a pretty easy class as long as you do all the dumb busy work she has. I got an A in this class too.
English - Man, I love English. It is an all around easy class to. I would be making an A in this class, if I had done better on the retarded vocabulary test. Her vocab. tests are hard!! I got 100s on all of Bonnette's but NO. Mrs. Alexopoulos is really good at making hard vocab tests so that even though I memorize every word that's not even enough. Ugh. I made an 88. Dumb vocabulary..
Chemistry - Man this class is a joke. Mr. Colbert is so monotone and BORING. Oh my god he is so boring. He is such a bad teacher. :( Not to mention he gave me an 89! Ugh. how can you give me an 89?! That's such a crappy grade. Knowing my luck it was an 89.4 or something. >:{
French - My teacher is on more crack than Mrs. Bradley. She is so retarded! She almost got into a fight with a girl on Friday because she is so dumb. Not to mention she is the WORST teacher ever. It's a foreign language. I don't understand why you wouldn't saying Je suis (I am) nager (swimming) when you want to say I am swimming. I don't know why. I ask why. SHE DOESN'T TELL ME. She basically just says "That's just how it is" I cannot ace her tests if that's all she tells me. Everyone hated me for getting a 94 on the last test though. We had to copy the question and answer down on a separate piece of paper for extra point and I was done with that in 2 minutes. hehe. It isn't my fault...I studied for that test. I SHOULD have aced it. I have an A in here.
Band - Band is boring. The horn part on the Christmas music is soooo boring. Mr. Estes is giving me Emily's part whether Emily really likes it or not. I don't know why she bothers to not just give it to me...Especially after Mr. Estes already told her to. He is going to listen closely to the horn parts on Monday so he can decide how he wants the parts distributed. I think it's to high right now. He is gonna see what he thinks....but either way I get a 3rd part. Retarded people..... I am really excited for UIL music. MANNN. lol. I have been talking with Mr. Estes a lot about what we are playing. And...if need be...complaining. lol. Nothing is really in for sure I don't think but right now we are attempting Symphony No. 2 by Frank Ticheli and Sea Songs by Ralph Vaughan Williams. I am not sure on our 3rd piece, but I personally wanna play American Overture for the awesome horn stuff. =D I will ask Estes tomorrow what he is thinking about for the 3rd piece. Anyways...The horn stuff for the UIL music is better than what we have now, so I am happy. Plus I most likely get 1st horn for Ticheli. *yay happy!*
Algebra 2 - I like Mr. Corrington, he is really nice. This past test was really hard, but I studied a lot and I am realllyy hoping I passed. If I didn't I am probably failing this class. It is depressing because I am trying very hard to know it all and keep it in the right places in my mind (sometimes the rules for things mix up...). I really hope I did well. =( I got a B in this class.
So life is confusing. I have felt sick for a while now, I am pretty sure it is from all the stress I have been under. With Region and my concert this coming Saturday, I am basically freaking. I really need to get it all together. Plus, I am trying to find a way to make some money on the side. It is hard with my schedule though. Homework and studying have just increased and are only going to get worse as exams approach. Ugh. Hopefully after region I can calm down a little. I know next Saturday is gonna kill me though. I have region band in the morning and then I have to go straight to dress rehearsal for Virtuosi and prepare for that concert which I am also nervous about. I have some pretty tricky things in my parts that I don't always get right. And they are very important. I am 1st horn and I am the only 1st horn. I have no one to hide behind and, it is my luck, that I am the only wind playing during this solo part, and during this duet I have with the other horn, it is just us entirely. >.<
I am so stressed. *cries*
This weekend all I have done is sleep. I really needed it. And talked to Francisco, we talked 9.5 hours yesterday and 3 today. My uncle was like "I am happy I got you unlimited text.." lol hehe. I have talked to Spoon a little, but all I have done lately is fuck everything up. Everything hurts and everything is so hard to deal with. I just get so stressed out from everything that is going on that I mess up and say things that are rude and that Spoon doesn't deserve. They are never gonna like me. I am screwing everything up. It's depressing. Especially when my "competition" is doing so much better than I am. Blah.

| Opening story : My Windows Media Player is totally playing....It says it is playing Linkin Park, but really it is playing Mae...so I pushed stop...but it didn't stop playing. It's freaky. I don't understand..
It has been a long time.. Band has been hectic. The past few weeks we have had practice or a game or something everyday of the week except Sunday. Lame-o..
Lets recap school..Shall we?
Biology - Bio is pretty easy. I like it. I talk with Nicole, Julie and Emily often. :) Today we found out that we had to make a little poster thing of all the cell parts in the form of a car dealership (we = band students) all of the others had their own groups and forms to make...but they also had all of Friday to do them...We had 10 minutes. To do the entire thing. Let me just said this....it was the worst, yet funniest presentation I have ever given, because yes, we had to present. Well it was all in pencil, it all looked like crap (like we drew it in 10 minutes =o ), and well...It looked like crap. : D Kirstin talks with her hands, and when she said "it protects it", what she did with her hands was so amusing that even Mrs. Bradley mocked her. :) and Nicole was like "the cars are the cytoplasts because they are like, everywhere" and I bust out laughing. That is totally the best description of why something is label a certain way, ever. We were laughing the entire presentation. It was great.
History - Ms. Dickson sucks. It is Monday and I already have 20 different things due this week for homework. It's so lame. She gives us a lot of hard work, and then grades it really hard. I have never made a C in history. What is this? It is sadly one of the better grades in the class though.
"BABY LIONS > PERSIANS!!!"
English - I like Mrs. Alexopoulos. She is weird...but I like her sense of humor. She reminds me a lot of the nicer aspects of Katie's personality. That class is fun, though I dislike not being able to pick my groups! One of the girls in my group....oh...I can tell she is the bossy type, which means we won't get along very much. She wasn't open to anything I had to say. It was upsetting. I like sitting by Cara though. She is smart and I enjoy being around her. We ask each other questions about different things because each one of us trusts the others answers...which I don't find often...because most people don't seem to know what they are talking about! We were the top Bonnette students : D. Hehe.
"I look like Jessica Simpson!" =o Chemistry - Is the most boring class...Mr. Colbert really isn't a very good teacher...when I don't understand it doesn't help me to sit there repeating the formula to me, I know the formula..it is right in front of me, that doesn't help! Then he just leaves, and Hannah Fisher had to explain it to me with the numbers. Dumb Chem...and we do the most retarded things. Sometimes I forget it is an Honors class. But I enjoy Batres and Kimmie! "Just for that, next time you can't suck on my lollipop!" o.o French - Is also extremely boring and such a blow off class. Madame Ricks treats us like we are 5 ! And I do no appreciate having my lunch threatened on a daily basis. I do nothing wrong and I wish to be treated as such. Retard teacher. Not to mention she tells us about a test...2 days before it! I don't even know whats ON the test! Probably stuff we haven't learned because she's a MORON.
Band - Has taken over everyone's life even more this year. We have constant practice and competitions and games and GAH. I am trying out for Virtuosi or whatever on Friday with Batres. Kate wants me to try out for all those extra things she does, and she also wants me to make state. No pressure right? I need to learn major / minor scales...and relearn my solos...by Friday....yay me?
Algebra 2 - I have already raised my grade almost 20 points. I should have a B now. Which isn't quite the A I want yet, but I am content with the extreme progress I have made. I am really focusing and paying attention now....or...most of the time. :) hehe.
Life is ok too. I am over the whole Katie thing. FINALLY. And I think I have feelings for someone else. No it isn't one of those things where you get over someone and immediately have new feelings. I have been single for a little over 16 months now.. and I have questioned these feelings for a month or so. So...I am in no way rushing anything. :) I really don't want to. I made sure the feelings were even genuine (the questioning for a month..) before I said anything.. The feelings aren't returned. Which makes me sad, of course...but I don't want to dwell on it so much. I can wait it out for a while. If they aren't returned and I don't think they will be in the future, I can just let it go altogether. I don't want any repeats of previous relationships. >.<
I am not sure what changed. I think i just got fed up with constantly being treated so poorly. I mean, I still care about her...She was my best friend for so long, I don't think I will ever stop caring for her altogether, but it is different...
*yawn... dumb homework*

| Well...where to start.
School started. The first week is over now. My teachers are ok. I don't know...
1st: Biology - Bradley
She is kind of weird...She says "ok?" and "you understand?" after basically everything. I always feel like I am supposed to answer lol.
2nd: World History - Dickson
She has ADD. lol. She forgets what she is talking about randomly. She assigns to much homework. :(
And she looks potentially really mean.
3rd: English II - Alexopoulos
I don't like her very much..Her personality is kind of weird too! One minute she looks all "grrr" and then shes hyper and kind of freaks me out. Her class seems like it should be pretty hard though, so...whatever.
4th: Chemistry - Colbert
I like this class. We don't do anything. :) and he doesn't give homework! lol. There is a pretty good range of Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Friday we stood at a lab table "identifying lab equipment" ...but really we just stood there going "uhhh..now what" while Austin Darsey found new ways to use a graduated cylinder...don't ask. We did break one of the flask things on accident. Ally broke it with her elbow...it wasn't smashed or anything, she just kind of tapped it and it cracked, it was interesting...NOTE TO SELF: Flasks are very easily broken.. But Austin took it and went to another table, and took theirs and mixed them around behind his back and ended up trading ours for theirs, lol. Then some other stuff happened...but you don't want to know that lol.
5th: French I - Ricks / Risen
She has ADHD. She talks a lot, and really fast...when she stops she actually has to catch her breath. She doesn't just talk fast though, she speaks in all different languages and half the time we don't know what language she is in, let alone what she's saying! First she is in English then she's in French and then she stops and is like "opps, sorry, that was Spanish" -_- But we have actually learned a good amount in just 1 week of school. The class is ok. I recognize some of the freshmen I went to QVMS with.. and Ashley Day and Kassi (the clarinet) are in there with me.
6th: Band
I love band. :) it is so different being in Honors compared to Concert. I like the difference. :)
7th: Algebra II - Corrington
Mr. Corrington is kind of awkward. lol. I won't lie. He reminds me of the priest guy, Caleb, from the last season of Buffy, minus all that evil stuff. He is kind of like Caleb, if Caleb were raised in a house alone and never allowed out in the world. I don't know. He seems to know what he is talking about though. And I like how he gives us a bunch of different practice problems instead of just handing us homework and expecting us to get it. He gives us different kinds of a certain problem, different difficulty levels of those kinds, and he walks around to watch us work and helps us if we take a wrong turn. I like that..We do problem after problem until the bell rings. I like being able to make mistakes and have him catch them and help me, before I have to do the homework..
That is pretty much all I got for school...
Yesterday me, Tiffany, Jordan, Cierra, my mom and Dave went to Ms. Robbins for a little get together and food. I had fun. We got online, ate, talked, and then later we started playing the wii. I fail at blurry colors so I wasn't very good at the shooting thing, I kept losing my crosshair. I just plain didn't understand how to do the fishing, so Tiffany beat me at those. I however beat her at the racing cows, the tennis, and I OWNED her at baseball. Then I played like 4 baseball games in a row with Jordan and after that my right hand was really shaky and actually kind of numb. Then my wrist and in my arm I had a numb kinda tingly feeling that made my arm feel kind of heavy. So therefor every game I played at that point I lost because well, I couldn't barely hold the damn wii controller... :( Now my arm is just kind of sore. Tooo mucchh constantly baseball and tennis! I don't like the wii, it's a workout lol.
I still need to go to the doctor..I might have some Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my right hand. After doing some things continuously my hand shakes really badly when I straighten it. Meh. Hopefully it's something else. I don't want any surgeries or anything.
After allll that we came back to my house. How exciting. lol. That's basically all. :)
Today is Batres's birthday! yay! :D

| Mannn, it's been FOREVER! =o
Marching band has started. Which means my end of July was wasted memorizing the last bits of Javelin, and my August is taken up by 9 hour marching days! I'm not really complaining. I like marching band. There are things about it that sometimes tick me off....like lazy freshmen. But I like it all and all.
Monday was the first day. Katie drove me there so I could help her carry her many clarinets and other things! She carries to much. lol. I went to lunch with Geoff, Sam and Emily. Yay! It was fun. And I got to sit on my butt cushhiionn!! =D The first day was long, and hot. But it finally ended. And I went to Starbucks with Katie for a little over an hour. That was fun too. She had me try something new, and it was pretty good. And the guy gave us free samples. It wasn't bad either.
Tuesday it was even hotter. Katie drove me there again. And again we were in squads the whole time. I think we work best in squads. We are able to work more closely with the freshmen and their specific needs, because we only have 3. lol. After practice Katie offered to take me home. And before we left the parking lot we got into my first, and her second car accident. Kim Breaux and her older sister came through the parking lot right in front of us and we hit them. It wasn't our fault. But I think Katie still might have to pay for her own damages, which sucks. Because our damage was worse than theirs, and it was their fault. Ms. Chan called the cops. And while everyone else came and went I stayed with Katie the entire time. The cop got there at about 6:30. He tried to see if he could get the bumper back on, but we ended up calling and waiting for the tow truck because it wasn't drivable. All and all I didn't get home til about 7:30, after Katie's mom took me home.
Wednesday, was again, even hotter outside. We did squads and sectionals like before.
Thursday we got our drill cards and they taught the fish how to read them...they didn't teach us when I was a fish! lol Thursday all our outside time was spent setting drill. We got about 8 sets done. Which isn't to bad. After morning practice the horns ran inside and ran back out so we could beat the flutes to CiCi's. We did. lol. None of us hit a red light, and we were there at like 11:36. Goooddd timing. We ate, talked, played games. On our togo cups we had things we could peal off and win stuff with, I lost, naturally. lol. But the thingy said "it's ok champ" so I thought of Katie, and brought it back for her. She liked it. :)
Friday we spent the whole 3 and a half hours outside in the morning setting drill..We got up until about 18 sets on. Then that afternoon put music with about 14. The goal, Estes said, was to have it on with music by the end of Thursday. I think we can do it, we are doing great so far. :)
The only bad thing about band so far, is that we have awesome ideas for the squad competition, but the trumpets not only stole the idea, but they even stole the name....Are you kidding me?! Jessica wasn't there on Friday so we will have to show her the drill Farmer gave us and the new ideas we have. We have to practice somewhere else at a different time because our ideas are all getting taken. Dumb trumpets. But Farmer knows we had it first. And we are going first in the competition, so the trumpets are screwed. >: {
That is pretty much all that has been going on. Marching band. This was the first weekend and I spent it sleeping. lol. :) It starts again though tomorrow! Yay for waking up at like 6:30 ! lol.
Tomorrow or Tuesday I have to play off my music. I know it. Give or take some rests at the end! :)

| Yayy I am 16! :)
Courtney came over on Tuesday because we were having Gumbo for dinner and it's her favorite and she usually likes our food. She did! We hung out, did random things and watched t.v !
Ok. So. At midnight Nikki was the first to say happy birthday over AIM, followed shortly by Courtney, Katie and Allen. Lots of other people sent me comments on facebook and myspace (except katie because she likes to stand out. Even though she always does). Katie sent me the most interesting birthday wish. "OHMYGOSH. Happy birthday, fuzzy chair! :]" lol Yeah. :)
So I woke up at 11 because I wasn't sure who was coming over and when. Courtney didn't come over until 2 because she didn't wanna walk over in the rain because my present would get wet! Oh noes! =o But Courtney got here and we ate peekaboo eggs, it was Courtney's first time! Then my mommy came home like 20 minutes later (not even!) and we ate McDonalds. It was also Courtney's first time to eat a Spicy Chicken. ha. Then we waited for my grandma to get home and we opened presents, yay! I got lots of nifty things. I got a yummy smelling candle, shoes, 2 pairs of socks, a turtle purse, a pineapple/turtle, wireless headphones, and Courtney made me the cutest turtle at build-a-bear!!! Oh and $150. hehe. Ohhhh and 3 shirts! It was pretty cool. Then we had rice and gravy for dinner! YUM! And at like 8 Nikki came over and brought me cookies! She is trying to get me fat, I know it. =o But anyways, we waited for Jessica to get here to do cake and ice cream. She got here at almost 10 and we hung out with the family and nonfamily. Watched random t.v and talked. She unfortunately left at like 10:30 though. She was tired from work. :'( I was disappointed, but whatever. I got to see her and got two hugs, even if she did say Hailey's hugs were better. =/ The grown ups went to bed and we partied. hahah. We played dress up....and now they are putting on make up !!! We have done so many random and just weird things. We sat and gossiped. Haha. Lots of pictures that will be posted on Courtney's facebook.
It has been a great day. Some minor disappointments but whateverrrr. I have had fun with Courtney and Nikki and Jessica when she was here. Oh and my sister feels neglected so I had fun with her too.....apparently. But not anymore because she just called me ugly. Nunya whaleface. Basically. Now they are all crowding me wanting to put makeup on me. It's scary. =( Haha. Well anyways. It's been a good day, spent with good people. Now I get to go do something with Katie sometime, unless she changed her mind =o....and still go ice skating with courtney and jessicaaa!! yayy =D
<33
