Becca-chan: How much work did you do on the gay marriage moderating over the weekend, Schmandrea?
Me: How much sleep did you get over the weekend, Becca?
Becca-chan: Practically none.
Argh! DMP test tomorrow. I just realized that I had one at around 9:45 last night while studying for chem w/ Sophia on the phone. The chem test was actually suspiciously easy. The English compo I turned in was absolute crap, but at the moment I don't care. I'm probably not going to do well in the class anyway. I got my stupid English phrase usage quiz back. I flunked. Totaly flunked. Well, it was a 22/30. I still don't know the difference of when you're supposed to use the tenses of lay, lie, and lie. Right now I don't really care.
Lindy the senior randomly came up to me during lunch and asked me if I was the one who wrote that op-ed on Bush and contact sports. I had almost forgotten that I had written that, too. I spent the entire weekend trying not to remember it. That was possibly the most pathetic piece of crap I've ever written. I've said that about many things that seem to get a lot of public notice (like my 8th grade speech), but it's true. My writing seems to get worse without me noticing it. That piece was probably the worst attempt at an op-ed EVER. I don't know what I was thinking at the time. I was feeling rather tired and frustrated and hungry, and I was pretty much alone in the stupid office, and no one had written the article on the Moonlight Run so I had to come up with filler. I have some infinitely better ideas for next time. I better stop doing political rantings that are published in school publications. I think I was in one of my hardcore anarchist moods, which don't come around often unless the government does something incredibly stupid, like the whole freedom fries thing. The IHL is a school of Communists! I think that I'm a bit crazy. I swear I saw a weird glow on the wall of my room, but it wasn't really there. And it wasn't a reflection from my laptop from the gigantic mirror. Very weird.
I got 2 free periods today. Tee hee. The other one was from PE, because period 3 got a free b/c of the C&C test. Becca, Kerstin, Julie, Sophia, and Seana kept on singing "John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith" in various accents. Extremely entertaining. I was so distracted that I managed to get only 2 vocab sentences done. Kerstin helped me hunt down Amara after school and I managed to get her (Amara) to write an article on the Battered Women's Shelter Drive. Sophia and I were forced to brainstorm during the Com. Service Fair assembly. We managed to sneak out near the end by making a mad dash to the bathroom. Then we pretty much hid in the locker room for about 10 minutes in one of the shower stalls. It smelt so bad and I was really fearful of accidentally leaning against the switch and suddenly the water would turn on. Thankfully that didn't happen.
I know it's not Halloween yet, but I just heard this really freaky rendition of "The Living Daylights," a-ha's "Stay on These Roads" version. I've heard about 4 different versions of this song (soundtrack, actual film version which is the same as the soundtrack except the beginning is in just a slightly different key, the "Stay on These Roads" version, and another one which I don't know where it comes from). It's really spacy and avant-garde European and MIDI-like, and everybody sounds high when singing. And they're all really into it! Thankfully for them John Barry saved their butts by keeping the good parts and making it a really cool song. Even though their original rendition is pretty damn sucky, it's still very catchy.
Should study for math. Oh God, if you really do exist, please let me do well. Pretty please? Pretty please with a cherry on top?
Sadly on the PSAT there's no bubble for Atheism in the religion category. I was very disappointed.
