ready? ready? it's my life!!!

so, we just registered for classes. though i'll probably get into 20th century poetry and drop the last two classes here, this is my current schedule:

Elementary German 102, MTWRF 11-11:50
Modern Japanese Literature in Translation, TR 1:30-2:45
[voice lessons]
Survey of American Christianity, TR 3-4:15
Intro to American Politics, TR 9-9:50

the sad thing is that i really want to keep the christianity class but really not the politics class, and if i get poetry, it will be too many credits to keep either. ngah! why 16 credits? why not 17?

anyway, i thought you'd be interested in what i'm taking.

i'm feeling sober tonight 1. because i am and 2. because i watched this weird thai/japanese movie with my friend siena. we also watched howl's moving castle, which was excellent.

anyway.

cma last night has me thinkin' josh turner all day. mm mm, basso goodness.

( dada manifesto )

i will make my first entry of this kind lame.

breafast today consisted of: green beans, home fries, banana, and grilled cheese with tomatoes. elena complains about the tomatoes, but my jury is still out on this culinary decision. they've finally started doing whole wheat grilled cheese, too.

a while ago i ordered the s club 7 cd online for one cent and it's pretty awesome. one cent is not much to pay for a cd which is in perfect condition and highly energizing. don't you think?

maybe today i'll try to take some pictures of people from this happy place under the sun--- oh it's so pretty today! warmish and sunny! i'm so proud of ohio. i have to figure out what i'll do with the weather.

life is a highly, highly curious thing. my skin is a holy wreck. my eighteenth birthday is in less than a month. yesterday we went to the psychic fair, and now i need to write a counterpoint article on such. i love pens that write so smoothly... and i love indie pop. have you ever heard of cub? cub is a band that rocks. next weekend is prom, and i don't really know what i will be wearing. yesterday we went swimming when it was breezy and a little too cold for comfort. i did not attempt to dive and as such my bathing suit remained on my body at all times. i shall start a revolt and we shall call it the bikini revolt and after this a better bathing suit will be invented. i haven't really slept in about three days. i think, i seriously think, something big is going on in the world right now. no one else in my family can sleep either: no one.


incidentally: why don't you log in?

frustration = the fact that whether it's my fault or not, my family expects me to behave like an adult at all times even though i am legally NOT!

blih blah!

examination of european history tomorrow. better go buff up.

in the words of katie "very astute" rans'o'hoff after the ap this morning:

"you look like you just got in a fight.
"no, really, you do."

i am SO TOTALLY HOSED!!!

anyway, after the next heinous math test on monday to ensure that we have one more grade on the books, preferably an A, i will be done with le mathematics d'high school for-evah. i await this day with glee. in the meantime, i am really trying to make a dent on euro. i have approximately fifteen pages left in the book. i am trying so hard to make a dent in european history that this afternoon i went shopping, watched a disney channel original movie, and saw degrassi. i don't even watch degrassi.

anyway. studying will experience a massive reprise tomorrow. an inflation of studying. a raucous, expensive, time-consuming inflation of studying euro.

well then, tomorrow is the calc ap. you know, after all these years! it's so cumulative, this testing business, and i'm a little worried i'm going to forget something key like, you know, well, pick something we learned in eighth grade.

i'm off and on watching my dad's video of dames at sea for nostalgia's sake. SIGH! looked at blakely's pictures. guys, that was rad. that was simply, purely rad.

ooh, check it!

1. What got you interested in opera?
Absolutely nothing at all. I was taking voice lessons and Harriet was making me sing classical music and suddenly I was enjoying myself and working for something and people were asking what made me so interested in opera.
2. There's an article about you in the paper. What's it about?
Is it in Counterpoint? Because I'm kind of a failure at Castilleja. Maybe it's about Dames at Sea.
3. In the movie of your life, who would play you?
Jonathan Rhys Meyers, apparently. No, if it was going to be someone famous, etc, I think the girl from the Narnia movie, the older one, would be cool. Even though she looks more like kelly fitz's sister than like me.
4. What exactly is the girl in your icon doing?
She looks kind of like she's looking for a contact, but I've always harbored a theory that she's actually doing the laundry or scrubbing the floors.
5. If you could only eliminate racism or sexism, which one would you eradicate and why?
Racism, because I think that an end to sexism wouldn't be too far behind it.

(1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions of a very intimate and creepily personal nature. Or not.
3. Update your LJ/respond with a comment with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.)

Today I was exhausted. Jenny was worse off than I was, but let's face it, I was still exhausted. Good thing I didn't have soccer practice like one K Fitz. Bad thing it's AP week and I still haven't really studied for math or made a great indentation in Euro. I am instead overcome with the urge to swim and make mix cds and lemonade. Also, I keep wondering if my clothes will be cool enough to wear on my first few days at Oberlin. How nutsy is that? I mean, of all things to worry about.

i am so effing exhausted, and i'm just beginning the paper at all.

but the show was good, the show was great!! nate was alive, and i pulled no pranks because i was so glad he was actually there. i was pretty much up for the hijinx, though. katie's mom got me flowers (cute!) and jenny's parents hugged me (cute!). the cast party was the coolest thing since sliced bread. fo sho.

so that was opening night, huh?

you know, if you weren't there and didn't get tickets in advance, you really had better get there quite early tonight.

and now i must begin to study for euro. when, oh when, will i write my shakespeare paper?

let's just not even talk about nate and the 101 fever.

in case you don't read my sister's livejournal or talk to me daily, the news flash is as such:

i am officially going to oberlin.

woo hoo! we love them peeps. they are MY peeps.

i'm pretty excited to experience the wild life and times of suburban ohio. i'm also pretty excited for our show to open on friday. i'm pretty excited to see you on opening night--because you WILL be there, i just know it.

beautiful weather today. didn't get to go skinny dipping, as i kind of wish i could have. all the same, beautiful weather today. i'm trying to control those urges to strip and dunk myself whenever i get really sweaty and tired.

well so AND apparently everyone and her sister reads my livejournal. isn't that a twist no one expected!

my parents are watching the hockey game (weird) and my mom is really into it (weird). all i can think of is that one episode of grey's anatomy where the hockey player amputates his finger. gross.

i'm so close to finishing the euro book! so close and yet so far, i suppose. i really need to start studying.

as you see, this time my mind really is taken up with mundane things.

SO i do in fact exist. i really tried to do some work today. it is helpful sometimes to have a work buddy.

that said...
some retard t-p-ed my house two weeks before APs and i spent a few hours cleaning that up today after we took our practice calc AP at school.

shut UP.

everyone walking by was like, ooh, you're so popular, when really i don't know who did it and i'm thinking it wasn't anyone i know/any one of my friends. on the bright side, it was fairly picturesque when i walked outside for the paper in the morning; on the dark side, my mom said 'this is probably for your benefit' and then tried to guess about who would have done it. anyway. i would have found it fun if i had known it was in good spirits, etc. and if the someone had helped clean up. as it is, i stuck the ladder in an anthill.

it is a beautiful, beautiful spring evening. i want to sit with you here in the air and smell the sunset.

(shoot. who can do homework when the world smells this good? who can do homework when her graduation announcements indicate that nothing matters anymore?)

long day. long day. sick day. definitely, definitely time to go to bed early, but i SHOULD do some work. i wish i had an english accent. i wish i could sing today.
