I had to drop AP Physics. Which sucks, cause I really like that class ^ I also keep trying to find time to send you your package... I promise it'll be there. I have zero free time. Ever. True, it's preparing me for the real world which I must deal with, but part of me is still, after all, just a 16 year old who is being forced to grow up too fast. It's weird being a 16 year old senior... Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, I work 4 hours or 5. Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays are absorbed by band, which I'm actually looking forward to ending, if you can believe that. I've been tainted by the lack of dedication (or heck, even ust some focus or acknowledgement that band is a big responsibility) and I'm just waiting for a few last minutes of glory after a good show to keep me interested. That's unfathomable coming from my mouth, me, pretty much the geekiest band member in my school, but God, it's starting to drag on me... Blah blah blah. Hugs to all.

*hugs* It's something i'm looking forward to. annnd... isn't someone's birthday coming up soon? Yes... and I'm having a party. Everyone on TFBC is invited. (I would if I could, haha.) I just don't know how it's going to work, planning-wise, because my life is on overdrive! I'm also really ticked because my boss somehow scheduled me for Saturday, but he thought I had a competition (which ended up getting cancelled anyway). So I made plans ( after the SATs and after band practice) which now all have to change.

^ wow... i remember those days... crazy times... crazy times... just to let you know, the sat help books never really helped me... and i got a 2200 on it... so it just comes to show, most of the stuff you need to know is in school (AP Eng Lit and AP Calc helped me out so much!), a good night's sleep, and a healthy breakfast can go a long way...
awkward moment today... sort of a lonely feeling if you want to categorize it... went to eat lunch with some friends, and each of them had their boyfriend/girlfriend around... it starts getting all cute and stuff and there i am... eating...

My mom flipped out on me today for no apparent reason. My little sis buggered up her neckstrap, and in the process of fixing it, I removed the clip from the strap. Under Mom's angry gaze I got flustered trying to fix it, and wound up handing it over to her. The fact that my little sis abuses her instrument and music accesories was irrelevant. The fact that I was too stupid to fix the strap was the cause of all the trouble in the house. Being dimwitted as I am, when Mom showed me the (completely repaired) neckstrap, I overthought everything and said it was wrong. Honestly. I wasn't lying. I thought that it was still broken. Then mom accused me of breaking the neckstrap by taking off the clip on purpose, that I had been mad at my sis and so I was "destroying" her musical stuff to get back at her. "Why would I do that?!" I practically screamed. Anyone who knows me knows that the last thing I would do in anger would be to damage something music related. Seriously. I get ticked when people dog-ear sheet music. Then she yelled at me, saying, again, that I was destroying musical stuff in a rage, and that I "don't know how expensive this stuff is!!" I protested that. I know bloody well better than anyone in the entire house how expensive music stuff is. She just told me I was stupid, then (when it struck me that I had incorrectly declared her handiwork wrong) that I just like to stir up trouble and fight no matter what. She never even realized that I spent the next 20 minutes in my room, maybe 20 yards away, crying. And I was just starting to think that she really understood me. And yes, I know I sound like a pitiful drama queen: "no one understands me!", but that's about how I've felt for the past week. Anyway, I guess I don't really need a hug at this point. So instead I shall give some.

1. My mom and I talked yesterday on the way home from my competition, and one of her Co-Worker's 5-year-old son, Jeramy, was killed Saturday. I've babysat him several times, so... it was sad for me.
His dad was backing out of the driveway in the truck and apparently Jeramy somehow got in the way and his dad didn't see him. Jeramy died.. and I'm upset the most because I didn't get to say goodbye in the hospital or anything. I told my mom I wish she would've came and got me, but her co-worker didn't call her til after Jeramy was already dead. The viewing is Tuesday (I may leave practice to go) and the funeral is Wednesday.
2. I'm having some ex-boyfriend problems right now. I've known this guy since I was in 8th grade and for the first time, we're fighting. He's off in Ohio right now.. he moved there back in January cuz when we were broke up, he got a girl pregnat + his mom was sick. His mom died in May, which was when he was supposed to be staying down here permanently (before that it was back and forth between here and NC)... and He says he screwed everything up between us, and I told him he didn't, but he insists he did, and that's where the problems started. We keep arguing about all of this.. his son, his son's mom, me, his sister, Texas, NC, Ohio.. everything is all BLAH and I dunno what to do. It's not like I can just drop everything and go to Ohio with him and Jayson, which is what I want to do- but I have school, I'm only a Junior, and I'm only almost 17! I also feel guilty talking to him because I actually have a boyfriend right now who's not currently in the country cuz he's back in the Army and stationed in Korea...
3. One of our directors is looking for a new job (he's not very well-liked at all in our band.. but none of our directors are... you either like Mr. F or like Mr. S - our two main ones) Anyways, Mr. F is looking for a new job, cuz he doesn't like our school, but he doesn't wanna leave cuz Mr. S isn't as well-liked as him. I personally prefer Mr. S (he's around my mom's age, with no wife, and we're his kids...) because he's more understanding, and is like a dad to us, if we need him, he's there. (he honestly knows me better than my parents). And I want Mr. F to leave, because Mr. S and him don't get along.. and Mr. S needs to be respected, because he's a nice guy and we're his whole life. Mr. F has a kenal that he runs.. but Mr. S has us.. only us. I just... dunno what to do... I don't want Mr. S to start looking for new jobs,too. We only started getting 1s at UIL when Mr. S came to our school...

*hugs to all!* i'm sorry! good luck with the director situation. i don't really know what to say about the ex-bf (not exactly experienced in that area). I already responded to #1 in the prayer room, but again, the family is in my prayers.

*hugs for everyone (and cookies too)*
I'm just dealing with typical teenage drama. and I'm so worried that my gf's parents won't accept me (because while I've talked to my parents about our situation, she hasn't said a word to hers). I mean, I don't see why they wouldn't, but then I am a senior, and three years older than she is. They won't even let her get rides home from me. There's a thousand reasons for them not to like me, and only a couple of reasons why they should.

^AWW Hugs to you and eveyone else. I hope everything works out, when are you meeting them?
THere has been something weird going on with the guy who I like and me for the past week. Before this, and before he broke up with his GF, we were really good friends and always called eachother. Now I see him, and on the outside we still act the same, but there is something different. I don't know what it is, but it seems like when we talk he never actually talks TO me, if that makes sense. I know, he answers my questions and all, but his mind always seems like it is on something else. I know he was struggling with his grades and all, but he wont even show me the common courtesy of returning my phone calls any more. I don't know what to do, because I like(d) him, but now that we don't talk like we used to, it isn't the same. There are also a lot of other girls that like him, none of which i am friends with, and some that I am in extreme tension with. I just don't know what to do, and I end up thinking about it too much, which means my grades are slipping which is something my mom WILL not tolerate. If she is mad at me for that, it won't help my case about me being mature enough for a BF, now will it?
Sorry about the rant, but I just had to get some things off of my chest.

^ I knew something was up with you two, but I didn't realize. I'm sorry. But maybe it's best to just be friends for now? Considering his history? Then again, as you frequently point out, I am most definitely inexperienced romantically and therefore my opinions mean nothing. I have a very sore throat which I brought upon myself. I was somehow talking about karate with my band friends during study hall (in the band room), and so I started to do "aggressive form." It's where you basically grunt, scream, bellow, yell, whatever whenever you execute a technique. So I throw a punch, go "AIEYEEYAHHH!!!!" about 12 times, make all the visiting choir students think I'm a madwoman, and now I can barely talk.

=\ that sounds painful. i would say heres a hug to your throat, but that'd be more like strangling. and i dont think thatd make it better =]
So in the midst of homecoming dress shopping with my mom today, we get a call from my dad. Apparently my Grandpa's cancer is back, only this time its on his brain and spinal cord. He can't do some normal functions now. I'm really scared. He's had it, I think, twice before. The first time, it was on his ear lobe. They surgically removed 99% of it. But that last 1% traveled to his lungs, which is why he is currently in chemo. Then apparently when they rechecked the found it where its at now. I'm really worried though. Hes always been the tough guy, the one to roll with the punches.. but idk whats gonna happen now. I think the most depressing part is that his wife had breast cancer when my dad and his syblings were little. She passed away when the youngest was just in Kindergarten. I really don't know what would happen if Grandpa passed. D=

...My parents have been arguing a lot again, and I've really been depressed. I'm so tired of coming home and having the littlest thing lead to someone in tears. And the past few days I've felt like I was on the verge of tears all day, I've been really tired. I think I failed my AP American quiz. The people in my section in a capella ensemble hate each other, and as SL, it's been tough to deal with the drama. I haven't been playing as well as I could be in band, and I think my BD knows something's wrong...but even I can't fully explain what's wrong. And I don't understand calculus.
