| Actually, it's only 11 minutes to three A.M.... -snort- I . Am . Starving . Dying of Hunger, Christina | | |
| As of now it is only thirty-eight minutes past 1 A.M. and I lie here, in my seven year old bed with its kiddy stairs, stiff mattress, and new purple sheets with my feet conveniently tucked under said sheets, ready to chop off my own hands before they fall off by themselves. Today has just been way too busy for me; it's almost mind boggling how much homework my teachers have piled upon me/us, their unfortunate students. The 7-9 o' clock meeting all the way in Pearl River hadn't been much help to me; it was almost as much help as the 3-5:30 Anime Club meeting I held at my house had been. Even though I had started on my homework around four o'clock, [and I was starting on the subject with the biggest load, French, as usual] I was still unable to complete much of it; not to mention that I not only had school homework, but a homework assignment for People to People to write two Current Events summaries. Sure, they weren't exactly asking for a lot if one took into consideration that they only asked for about five lines of summaries, with three main questions of which the "ambassador" had to answer in their summaries, but... it was just simply too much for me. Want to see a list, unknown, doubtful-of-your-existence-right-now-because-it's-highly-doubtful-that-anyone-would-want-to-read-this-load-of-junk, Reader? 6:30 AM- wake up
6:50- leave
7:00 - get to school; begin work-study for the day
8:00 - homeroom
3:00- congregate with other [few]members of the Anime Club
3:20- had already emigrated to the front steps and waited for 20 mins. for my ever-so-early, mother
3:40- be at house
4:00 - already ordered food and started French homework in green Contact book
4:30- food finally comes after over a half-hour because the delivery man has no sense of direction
5:30- still not done with French and people leave
5:45- Finally remember the People to People assignment and begin
6:15- Rushing to print/ get ready for the meeting; then, leave.
7:00- after getting semi-lost, finally made it to Pearl River Library
7-9 PM- fjl;akjhflkj MEETING
9:30- Mother got us lost again.
10- Finally made it back home in one piece.
10 PM- 1:40 AM --> finally finished with all my homework and here I lay, typing/ranting about my pathetic life and how awful I think it is, even though, I know inside that I happen to have a better life than most people. This is me being honest, not cocky or arrogant or me being a braggart. No. This is the godawful truth that a lot of people need to realize, especially those in my school. My fellow schoolmates don't realize how much they have... Ah! So finally my list of Assignments for Monday night, all due for Tuesday. Chemistry- Formal Lab Report
French- Lsns 20-23 in Contact Workbook
Quiz on page 346 & the verb, vivre [to live]
"go over key words" on p. 354 & do Exercises 11 & 12 on page 355
English- Define second column of Macbeth Vocabulary [15 words]
Global- Do the two review questions on "White Man's Burden" by Rudyard Kipling [finished at school]
Geometry- 6.2a: 14 questions & small quiz on Tuesday on the previous section, Polygons
This list of homework assignments may or may not look like a lot to you, but it really was a lot. I was only slightly relieved that I had finished the two review questions during class when I had the time. The English wasn't so bad as I had my trusty dictionary.com to turn to and with the glorious help of Lauren I was able to finish the "hard final questions" within a half hour, which is short considering how hard the questions really were for the Lab Write-Up. The French... it killed me, basically. I was ready to chop someone's head off by the time I got to Lesson 23. My French teacher she tends to assign a lot on one day, then only check maybe, one portion of it all the next day. The only trouble is that one may never know which portion she is really going to check the next day so that possibility makes it an impossibility to just skip the work and make it up later without getting caught. It's really frustrating. She might have assigned all this work for spite since apparently she absolutely hates it when students give her the "i left my book at home" excuse. OH yeah... Ah! The glories of Frederick Chopin!
I am coming to the end of this ... excessively long and redundant blog entry and as I do this, I am also considering whether or not to stop this piece from playing via Napster. Valse du Petit Chien, anyone? Dance of the little puppy, it translates. I'm sure that any one would have been able to figure that out, however, with the exception of the word "chien" which, in my opinion, reminds me of the word "cat". And now that I think about it, what is the word "cat" in French? I've forgotten, of course and as usual. Ahem. Some-body has to get their priorities straightened out! A-and that would be, moi.
Dreading Another Equally Awful Day,

| Yes, it does come in all shapes & sizes. Some people are starting to make me feel uncomfortable inside and outside the internet world. One example [reality-wise]: Zach. He was begging me to no end and for some reason he started raising his voice to me in his attempt to get me to go to the Dashboard Confessional Concert with him. And, of course, since I don't tolerate that kind of behavior I became annoyed, but also felt bad because of the financial situation that was associated with this situation. One example [internet wise]: This one girl on the boards is obviously 'emo' [though I don't like using labels, writing 'emo' seemed the most apt. thing to do] but her constant need for attention [though I like attention, I don't 'cry' all the time about how bad my life is] is beginning to annoy me. I mean, if you just need to rant, fine. But she insists on whining about how people 'don't like her' and honestly, I don't see anyone else [other than me] complaining about her. Her personal issues-- if she wants to share, fine, but can she do it in a less dramatic manner?
-sigh- I have enough drama in my life as is what with this idiot who thinks he's like my boyfriend or something and my friends just 'blah' and my sisters and mother always nagging me and my father... don't get me started on HIM. So, 'nough of MY ranting. Must tell all the happy details.
I saw the movie, Match Point, which is something I've wanted to see since its release. It's starring: Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Scarlett Johansen(sp?). Le film est tres excellent. The ending has a twist to it, so fans of happy endings will be a bit disappointed, but I must say that one part was disappointing for me---actually two. IN the beginning, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers' acting could have been better. And the second part which bothers me, is near the ending and what I have to say is a *spoiler* so I'll refrain from stating it.
I'M GETTING THE LG-CHOCOLATE PHONE! tomorrow to be exact.
Ah, cooking dinner for about 12 people isn't so bad if you're being rewarded afterwards.

| So about the August 20th rafting trip. Seven incompetent girls are going, me being one of the seven. I'll be replacing the names of those whom I havent mentioned in this xanga yet with something...more john doe-ish.
List of People Going on the 20th
- Me
- Rosa
- My eldest Sister
- Leslie
- Rosa's friend from College
- My eldest Sister's friend
- eldest sister's friend's sister who's a twit by the way
Must say that I AM disappointed with the arrangeement, of course that much is obvious from the way I'm stating all this. We were inviting all the guys our parents approve of. Example, Eric, leslie's brother, and etc. We even invited Arnold[no that's not really his name] and Erwin[no that's not his name either]. Yeah so Rosa talks to Erwin and called him. He said he'd check with is brother, Arnold and call back. Well, Rosa told us all that they weren't going without giving us an explanation as to WHY. She was probably not given an explanation either, but I have a feeling that they didn't want to go because:
1. Arnie is ignorant to the very existence of the invitation
2. Erwin doesn't want to drive 2 1/2 hours since Rosa had stupidly asked him to drive if he went before getting a firm answer from him. FOOL .
I had had a crush on Erwin for a few years, but I had hoped that it died off. Sure there's a bit of "Ohhh hottie... stalk him with your eyes." in me and unfortunately that happens and I have a sinking feeling that he was aware of my infatuation with him. Surely, my sister didn't rat me out. Whatever...I'm still disappointed that I'm stuck with these idiots.

| to write an entry here. It's odd, since I never actually care for these blogs, yet I'm still coming back here from time to time. I need inspiration, patience, and self-control. I can't seem to stop procrastinating. I have so much to do before I go back to school and start classes again.
WORK LIST:
English 10:
Read:
-The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini[finished]
+Let Us Now Praise Famous Men by James Agee
& 1 optional, the one I chose was Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser[finished]
Assignment:
I'm given about 7 different assignments to choose from, all of which I find difficult unless if I resort to writing buttloads of crap questions with answers that you could find in the book.
- Must type out at least a page per assignement [3 pages]
Global 2:
Read either:
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
Scarlet Pimpernel by B.Orczy
Then an optional, which I haven't chosen you, but I'm thinking Gandhi or All Quiet on the Western Front because I have those books...but they're equally boring. However, Gandhi's shorter so I think that's a better choice.
ASSIGNEMENT:
+ basically take notes and write important parts on index cards
Chem 10-double period:
- Packet [finished]
+ Pre-test [incomplete]
__________________________________
So I basically have to do the assignments for English and finish the Pre-test which is very easy, and then I just have to worry about Global and on how to obtain the book I need for English, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men which is not in any of my local libraries or the nearest Waldens and my idiot sister refuses to go to the Barnes and Nobles which is right next to where she works part time, Mandee[clothing store].
It's also frustrating that every word that comes out of my father's mouth is always school related. Like, "You're studying bio right?" and etc. Ok, so he's paying a lot of money for the tutor, but really, the more he pushes me, the more I resist, [I believe]. And this is obviously my downfall and I'm sure I probably wrote this same thing in my previous entry.
The days seem to go by faster and that's not very good. I recently went back to practicing the violin to prepare myself for HB Festival Orchestra. My first rehearsal starts on September 12th and I know I'm probably going to mess everything up as I SUCK at site-reading. Site-reading is when one reads the music and then when one thinks they can play, plays it without practicing. Usually this method is used in auditions and rehearsals to get to know the music. It's quite hard, especially for young musicians and I know a lot of people who mess up on it, like me. On my NYSSMA audition, I bombed the site reading part. I had no rhythm and wasn't counting, but then I was seriously nervous. I was literally shaking. My hands were trembling so hard it was difficult for me to keep my bow arm steady and my wrist came out stick which caused me points. My knees were like knocking together and the Guy who was my judge, he was pretty AMUSED by this. =.......=
Well, I got an A on my performance anyway.
Hm.. I'm going whitewater rafting with my family on Sunday to this place called Kittatinny in Delaware. The hardest rapids they have are Type 2-3 and that's out of Class Type 6-- hardest. So yeah, it's gonna be kinda boring. The boredom's going to be worse because I'm with my family...whom I resent slightly. I'm sure I'm going to be complaining as the whole course is about 4-5 hours long. My arms will be falling off and I won't know what the hell to do. I've tried rowing before...Yeahhhhh NOT HAPPENING.
I'm going rafting again on August 20th in some place in the Poconos. I'm not sure what type rapids we're doing there..maybe the same ones? I do know that they have Type 3-4 rapids so that's always exciting.
Frances[15-16] and Leslie[17] felt that they wanted to go clubbing with me[15] and take along my older Sister, Rosa[21] and Leslie's boyfriend, Nat [19]. I found out about this clubbing bit the morning after Frances and Leslie spoke with Rosa via AIM. Yeah Rosa woke me up at like 10 in the morning to tell me that she wants me to look up clubs and find out when the next teen night for MIAMI is. Researched it, got nada. I did like the club Avalon. It was pretty nifty and quite..sinful as it was all this raunchy dancing done in a CHURCH. But yeah, we're not going anymore because Frances and Leslie's sudden urge to go clubbing past and I suppose it was too complicated for them. You see, if we were to go to Avalon, which in fact, is not a teen club it's a club for those 18+, then we'd need 'fake ID's" i laughed at the proposterous idea of course. I mean, Frances suggested that her brother could make the ID's, but seriously, when do those ever work? And Rosa didn't mind that much since she wants to see how I behave whenever I'm at dances and at clubs. Disturbing? I know.
