Get it over with

Spring Break is over. Sadly. It went by way too quickly. It sucked. Towards the end of it though, I went to see my aunt Trish. We passed through Farmville and made a pit stop at LU. It was really nice and pretty swell. Trish's boyfriend brought over his granddaughter and she was just plain adorable. She wouldn't leave me alone though. I like kids, but not when they cling to me and slobber on me like a dog.
Prom is coming up. I just got my ticket today. I'm so excited. I have the sweetest date ever. Hah. My dress is beautiful. However, I have to take it to get it altered next week. I'm too much of a shorty, even with heels. Being 5'4" really has it's disadvantages at times. Daddy offered to pay to get my hair and nails done with the girls, so that's a bonus. I think he's almost more excited than I am... HAH.
In other news, Rock 4 Life is in NINE days! Oh my Lord, I've never been so stressed. Mr. J is being brutal. We had a rehearsal yesterday and he yelled at pretty much everyone and kicked one person out. It's crazy. He's been a grumpy butt here lately. Hopefully after R4L is over, he'll ease up because we have Busch Gardens to look forward to and he doesn't have to worry about graduation.
Speaking of graduation, that's coming up really fast, too. I have even more friends leaving this year who I'm even closer to. Last year was sad but this year is going to be even worse. Then again, some of them will be good to get rid of. A good amount of the seniors this year are annoying as all get out. Sometimes I just want to shove a sock in their mouths.
May is SOL month, or Standards of Learning testing. Personally I refer to it as the Shit-Out-of-Luck test, but they're easy to pass. I feel bad for the suckers that fail it. Taking a final exam is always worse. Seniors have a major advantage though. All they have to do is have a B- or better in a class and they exempt their finals for that class. I wish they gave that to Juniors too, at least. Oh well.
So, I love how when I try to avoid someone, they follow me. Really, punk? Screw off. I really really dislike it when people can't take the hint to go away. It's one thing if it's over text because sometimes that's a bit difficult to comprehend; however, when somebody can't get it in person, they need to be slapped or something. Stupid people annoy me.

ALMOST there

I adore the month of April because of the age old, "April showers bring May flowers" thing. I love rainy days.
Spring Break is finally here. Thank God. I'm so glad I finally have a week's break from school. Only problem is, I have so much work to do over the break that it's not going to be all that relaxing. Between work teachers gave me, going to NC next weekend (Yay! Get hype!), and R4L things with Jeanine and Kate I'm booked. Hah. I was hoping I'd get to see a certain someone, but for him to drive two hours to visit for only an hour would be a waste. I'll get to see him this summer though, hopefully.
Anywho, Rock 4 Life is coming up in 3 weeks. Only 3 weeks. It's major crunch time and everyone is so excited. Everything is going to be awesome but the only thing that's a bit of a downfall is our cause. It just doesn't compare to last years "child soldiers" and "child advocacy". I still think we should have done human trafficking... But bleh. Whatever.
Speaking of music, I made Jazz Band. I decided to try out to get away from Orchestra next year. I'm pissed Mr. J didn't want to put me in Chamber because he wants me to "mentor" a freshman. Ugh. Sad thing is, I don't know that I'll take JB even though I got in. Poor Brandon is a little mad I made it and he didn't I think... If I don't take the class, he'll take my spot.
School-wise, I have a 101.1% in history class. That's never happened before. I have a strong suit of science and math, and history is usually brutal for me. However, some how I've pulled a 101.1% out my ass butt and I couldn't be more pleased.
This school year is going by so fast. It's already the last quarter. I can't believe it. There's only... 7 or 8 more weeks left I believe. Hah. I was talking to a friend of mine who's in college now and they're like, "I only have three more weeks of school left :)." I was thinking, "Jerk.... So not fair." But May will go by really fast because it's SOL and exam month. Plus R4L, Busch Gardens trip for orchestra, prom; all that good stuff. I'm hype.
Anyway, you know how when you get back into old bands and types of music after a while, again? Well, I went to look for some old CD's so I could play them in the car because I haven't quite invested in a new stereo system in the old junker. I open all the cases and all of them are there except my favorite one by Bullet For My Valentine. I was so mad. Then I remembered I'd left it in a friend's car almost a year ago. I hope they haven't lost it or something. That'd ruin my day. However, I still have my I See Stars and AttackAttack! ones. So, that's a bonus.


CHECK THIS OUT. It's so hilarious you'll pee your pants. If you can't watch it here, click on the title and it'll take you there.

Don't hate, participate

Oh my, such a long past few weeks it has been. I'm busy as always but I don't expect any less. I'd rather work too much than not enough.
Anywho, so Rock 4 Life is only 32 days away! Everyone is working their asses butts off trying to get everything ready. Between the meetings every Monday night and Friday afternoon, we're able to manage. We're making a R4L Yearbook and it's turning out pretty cool. I'm actually suppose to be writing something for it at this moment, but I'm preoccupied by my own blog. Shame on me, I know. I also made a seating chart of the entire TDHS auditorium. Oh my Lord, it took forever to do 1/3 of it and I'm still not done. However, it looks amazing (just saying). Check out the Rock4Life crew and concert.
In other riveting news, my latest addition has been Bdubs. I've gone there twice a week for the past four weeks. The place is amazing. If you've never been there, you need to go. And don't pull the, "Well, I live in Ethiopia and we don't have those here." Too bad, get on a plane and go to Buffalo Wild Wings. Excuses are for wimps.
So, the 30 Day Challenge has ended for me. However, still go check it out if you haven't already. I've had people say to me, "Really? You put that person in it?" Yeah, really. I did. Some things are on there because I couldn't think of anything else to put that I had a photo of. Honestly, just get over it. If anyone has some off-the-wall problem with it, I honestly don't give a flying frigg'. It's my blog for a reason. I'm sure you can appreciate that. Remember, it's on the right side bar under "Check it out!".
On another note, school is driving me crazy. Two of my teachers just flat out suck and the one won't stop being a Debbie-Downer about everything. Orchestra is the class that is agitating me the most though. Mr. J asked me to basically mentor a freshman who's coming to Dale next year, and I think it's bogus. In other words, he wants to stick me in Concert and listen to me bitch complain about how awful I think the class is. Again. Personally, I think he just doesn't care for me. Whatever. I'm thinking about taking Jazz Band with Mr. Barton instead. Just to get away from being in Concert for another year. The music is too easy, which is the only reason I just chill in that class. Oh well, only 7 more weeks.
Speaking of classes, Mr. Duncan's class is just getting better and better. I realize I somewhat favor this teacher, but I don't care. If you were to attend just one class, you'd understand where I'm coming from. For example, we mocked how Russia should take the aids from the United States. Also, how one should contain red Kool-aid in a bowl. One may ask, how does this relate to history? Good question. He teaches us valuable lessons on why somebody shouldn't speed near deaf  kids because they can't hear the horn to run away, and how to dispose of bodies in a proper fashion. Somehow, he always brings it back on topic. Best. Class. Ever.
Remember how I said that Orchestra wasn't going to Disney? Well, now I'm glad we didn't because all that came out of that trip was drama. Dag on. Those choir people really know how to start some crap. The hilarious thing was though, people were betting about who was going to start something while they were there. Even a few chorus people said to me, "The people in chorus are snobs. I'm glad to have peace for a few days." Hah, awesome to be a back stabber, eh?
I'm to the point of counting days for London. I'm beyond excited. It's... 452 days until I leave? Something of that nature I'm thinking... It's the only thing I'm looking forward to at this point. Except for a certain someone coming down for a bit this summer. I can't wait to see him. He's the greatest.


This is what I need. Fast forward to 0:33. Operation: Ending Skankdom. It'll save lives people, or just help not create them. Also, I'd recommend not watching the whole thing. It gets annoying, heads up.
