My last day of piano lessons ever is over. I had my exam today. I did okay, messed up on some simple things, though. My adrenaline was really high for my two fast pieces, unfortunately, so I screwed up some of the runs in those. Oh well. I'm so relieved now that it's over ( Read more... )

Ahh....I am struggling to write this history essay. I initially was ambitious enough to research my topic in an area we never studied in class time [South America], but now, in a way, I wish I had picked something easy to write about. Like Hitler or Ghandi. Oh well ( Read more... )

I found some piano pieces I had written over a year ago and played them (with my headphones on so nobody could hear me) and realized how much I appreciate them, and wonder how I was able to muster up that creative energy. They're incredibly personal and they're only mine. It's like having a pleasant secret: you want to tell everyone about it but ( Read more... )

This is just too weird. On Oprah yesterday they had the parents of Chandra Levy (the abducted intern) on. They talked about how they wanted to know whether or not their daughter was alive (she had been missing for over a year), and how they needed some sort of closure. The show gets taped in the morning. Then, in the evening news, they report ( Read more... )

I haven't been on this in months. Now that IB exams are over, I thought I'd try to start this up again so I wouldn't lose contact with everyone. I would say about halfway through exams, I didn't really care about studying anymore. Ever since then, I've had no initiative to do anything. I only have math class and I don't even do the homework.

Great...I am now a sufferer of insomnia. That's what happens when you ramble on these cursed journals! Hee hee, those little bugs that are attracted to light are flying around the computer screen. This is really sad. I'm really sad. I could be asleep right now, in my springy, unmade bed...well, maybe this isn't so bad. I forgot to say earlier ( Read more... )

I've been very neglectful of writing in this. Somehow, I've been turned off of the computer since the summer started. Maybe it's cause we have eight months of gloom and snow, so what's the point of wasting away indoors when it's so beautiful outdoors? I'm glad that it rained today, though. It reminds me of when I was little. It would pelt down ( Read more... )

Today has been, well, blah. There's no other word to describe it. Nothing bad has happened, but nothing exciting happened either. It's one of those weird days where it rains for ten minutes then gets unbearably hot. I know, I have a pool, but I'm sure the minute I was outside a billion blackflies would be on my trail. The worst part is that I'm ( Read more... )
