FUCK.
So.
I haven't posted here in like what? A kabajillion days? And why am I posting now? I have no idea. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I'm feeling so fucking restless? And angry? But not sure why. Actually, I have absolutely NO clue why.
OH WAIT.
Maybe because the SAT's are coming up? This saturday to be exact? And to be even more exact - 7:45 AM at Stuyvesant High School.
If it was just the SAT's looming over my poor miserable (non-existent) social life, I'd be fine. Because I've been preparing for this exam since FOREVER. Or 7th grade, whichever you prefer. But NO. Not only do I have to wait for the SAT to ruin my life (more than it already has), I have to sit through AP Spanish and AP US finals this week. And a physics test (but that's supposedly regents level thsi time around). And then there's stuysquad. As much as I LOVE stepping and dancing in general, couldn't they have chosen a better week than the week of the SAT's to have the performance? This means more of me skipping track practice and feeling guilty about it because as much as I HATE running, it'd still be nice to be captain and boss little freshmen around.
Wow. That was my ultimate evil drama queen rant. Here's for the slightly more level-headed, rational side of me:
SAT's on Saturday. I'm freaked, definitely. No matter how much I've prepared for this exam, I still don't feel prepared enough. But will I ever be? And the last time (the only other time) I felt extremely unrepared for an SAT, I did extremely well so I should feel good about the test? AP Spanish and AP US finals shouldn't be that difficult - AP Spanish is just an ensayo (essay) and there's nothing much I can do to study for it than to read a dictionary (which I refuse to do) and AP US I've been studying for regularly and it's not going to be specific (yay).
As daunting as this week may seem (though it might pale in comparison to next week: FINALS and horribly boring REGENTS), there are things to look forward to. For example:
Tuesday: OBAMA DAY - the inauguration. The speech. The all around goodness. I've been following the Obama Express (a little, I only caught the end of his speech at Wilmington) and I find Obama such a freak. He's definitely got something going on for Lincoln. Though, who doesn't? Other than those freakshow white supremacists (did I spell that wrong?) who watch Birth of a Nation and clap and cheer. (First of all - horrible acting much? And I thought Disney stars couldn't act. Second - BABES IN TOYLAND. Did it not remind you of that awesomely awesome movie that comes on around Christmas every year. I swear we should have a Babes in Toyland marathon day. As much as I love A Christmas Story, I already own the DVD and I can only get so much of Ralphie's "red rider bb gun" request and his little brother's freakish laugh. But I digress.) So that's going to be exciting. I'm extremely elated that Teitel thought it necessary to change the entire school schedule to watch the inagural speech. Though I wish I were there in DC to experience it myself (and possibly touch his hand and swoon? Oh my.)
Friday: Cass' bday. Now, I haven't bought or made anything just yet for her present, but I will. Eventually. Like 6 months later? BE EXCITED.
Saturday: AFTER THE SAT's: mad rush to get preparations and decorations done for Vanessa's surprise bday party. This is the first time I'm pulling something like this and it'll probably be amazing. I can't wait to meet her best friend Liz. I've only talked to her online and over the phone a couple times in prepartion fo the party. BUT EXCITEMENT. I can't wait to party after the exam. And possibly meet some cute boys? I hope. I'm so up for having a guy flirt on me through the entire night like last time lol. Except the last time was at Wendy's sweet sixteen. And her ex was hitting on me like crazy. And I found out later through facebook (oh how I love you, dear facebook) that he had a girlfriend hahahaha. He probably thought he could get some from me hahahaha.
So this entry has turned into something I totally did not expect and I will be so sad if something happens and this completely erases itself and shits on me. I'm working on my sister's Vista. And you never know with Vista's.
In other news! I almost forgot! So I completely want to get into Great Books for next year after hearing Cass tell me about it. And I was further convinced after having a nice chat with Eunju (who still continues to call me Jamie lol) on the local train on the way home on Friday. She told me she would try to get me into that class for next year. YAY-NESS! She's been telling me amazing things about that class and now I SOOOOO wanna get in. So I will get Ms. Thoms to sign my teacher comment sheet for this term (and possibly Mr. Dibbs and Ms. Vollaro? Even though I'm only allowed one per term lol) and do extremely well in Late American Literature (ew) next term. I don't know if I can ever fully adjust to a non-creative writing class from now on. It's gonna be hard. Oh, and speaking of which! I'll probably start uploading the pieces I wrote in Writers' Workshop on this journal. Fun? Yes. Very much so. Anyway. I think if I continue to write I'll not have anything to write about for the next billion years. Because that's how exciting my life is. So I'll part with the computer to go watch some awesome ABC Family movie starring Selena Gomez and Drew Seeley because yay - Selena Gomez and Drew Seeley! (Except not really haha because Selena Gomez is gross hahaha. And I don't really have an opinion on Drew Seeley except ghost-singer haha). She skateboards? (watching it now) - what a disgrace to skateboarders all over the world!!!
Love,
Elle
Maybe I'll do this more often. This was pretty fun :D
