my mark

[mood: reflective]
[music: Let Down - Radiohead]

I love the Arts Coffee House. It's one of the only nights the artsy kids get to shine. It just feels so good to listen to talented people do things you never would otherwise see them do. Tonight I got to listen to poems that touched me, music that made me laugh and think, and a speech that made me reflect. I want to make my mark on the Blue. The only way I can do that is with the arts, since I have no athletic ability and won't break any academic records, despite wishing I could. So next year, I want to dedicate more time to drama; I really want to have a bigger part in it. And I'm learning the guitar over the summer; I've just decided that. I'll get my dad to teach me. I've wanted to learn for so long now, and I think this summer is the perfect time. I just don't know how else to make my mark on our school. I wish I could learn to be a better writer. Maybe I'll drop biology or something next year and take writing...who knows? The possibilities are endless, or so I'd like to think.

I wonder if there's a french way to say GRRRR...

Just finished my law project.
I hate my computer. Ihateitihateitihateitihateitihateitihateitihateitihateitihateit!!!!!! Because, see, it likes to shut down on me when I try to go on the Internet to look something up while I'm furiously typing my good copy (off the top of my head). And I had to redo a few paragraphs of my project because I hadn't saved, because I hadn't anticipated that this piece of crap would be shutting down on me. Aggh. Okay, ranting's over with for now. At least the project's done!

Why i love band trips

[mood: carefree]
[music: I'll Be There - Jackson 5]

I know it's been awhile since I updated. I did try to, yesterday, but since blogger was down for maintenance, that didn't happen. I just went to the beach with Abby, Adam, and Jacob. It was so much fun; I hadn't been to the beach since September, maybe. I love the beach soo much; I just feel so free there. I must be pretty reserved normally, because when I skipped a rock (twice!) I jumped up and down and cheered and Adam said "That's the most excited I think I've ever seen you." From now on, I will be a free spirit! Let's see how long that lasts.
Band trip last week was soooo much fun. I love band trips, and I love girl-talking with guys and girls both, and I love walking tours (I find them so interesting, I know that makes me a geek), and I just love getting dressed up, even if I did almost fall asleep at the symphony. I love my friends, because I can laugh about the stupidest stuff with them, and I love our inside jokes (only real men...). The HRC was really cool, too, there was a lot of Beatles stuff there.
The only thing I hated was thinking about a certain someone, and not being able to get him off my mind, but we didn't hang out, like, at all, which really sucked.
