Wow it's been a while.

ok so since its been like 2 months since my last post i figured that i should probably get on here and let everyone know a few things (if you don't already).

So basically since november a lot has happened. I now live with my grandparents over in Kearney due to some stuff that happened with my step mom that i dont feel like going into at the moment cause im in a good mood and that would spoil it. So yeah i live with my grandparents which is really convenient for school cause the house is literally across the street. this all happend at the beginnign of winter break, so i went and stayed at my mom's for the duration of winter break and then decided that it would be easiest if i moved in with my grandma so i could go to school with out having to completely screw over everyone elses schedule.

On a brighter note, i have also started dating a wonderful girl named Katie, if you are on my mom's side of te family you most likly already met her at christmas, but if not here is a picture.

ok hmmmm lets see, its been so long i'm trying to remember what else i've done.

i did manage to get my classes switched over (see previous post) just in time to sign up for classes for my junior year. woohoo

here's what i signed up for

1. English 3 (required)

2. algebra 2 (required)

3. american history (required)

4. Chemistry (3 years of science required but i had options on what to take)

5. weight lifting (cause i like it)

6. music theory (cause it looked really cool and the teacher is really nice)

7. computer apps/personal finance (semster classes, both required courses)

so next year should be interesting, i'm looking forward to the music theory the most. mainly because right now i have no music classes in school because Kearney school district is retarded and don't have an orchestra program, that kinda pisses me off but i dont want to go to Winnetonka just to be able to take orchestra, i guess its this or choir, and i dont want to join choir

but the really nice thing about this is that if i get that schedule (or at least all those classes) next year then my senior year there are only 2 classes that are required to graduate for me those are College prep English and a speech class. no not like a speech therapy class a class that helps you get better at talking in front of large groups. but other than those 2 classes everything else is up to me. here's what im thinking for my senior year

1. college prep eng. (duh)

2. speech/novels

3. college chemistry or genetics

4. weight lifting (maybe Adv. weights)

5. psycology (maybe it might change it to study hall)

6. mythology (depending on if they still offer it then)

7. spanish 4 (this counts for college credit woohoo)

lets see...hmmmm

oh i also had a concert for those of you who dont know. it was alright...i didn't do as well as i could have, my cello was also out of tune because the piano i tuned to was out of tune :(

but other than that i was pretty good, if you want to you can go listen to the first 16 seconds of it over on my moms blog but i'm also trying to upload it to youtube as im typing. so hopefully i will get it working so you can all see the whole thing (it's like 4 minutes long)

speaking of the cello, i am also currently working on Bach Suite No.1 for the cello. right now i can play the prelude and the minuette 1 pretty well, not perfectly but well enough to get by i guess. but those are the 2 im working on right now, there are like 7 or 8 different pieces in the suite so i have a bit to work on, that and there are alos 6 suites on the book i have (insert worn out face here) i'll see if i can get some videos of me playing those and i'll post them somewhere

well thats not all of it but im tired of typing and i'm gonna go get some food.

until next time (which hopefully wont be in 2 months)

oh i almost forgot to mention, i looked at my grades online today....

Just some thoughts

Ok, since I haven't posted in a while I thought that I should probably hop on here and tell you guys what I've been doing for the past couple weeks.

To sum most of it up...I've been doing absolutly nothing.
Yeah, that about covers it.

Mostly it has been school, food and sleep (sometimes), and usually in that order too. =D

But I do have to say that one of the saddest things that happened within the last 2 weeks is my dad getting my grandparents names mixed up. Instead of telling me that my great grandpa Mayo had passed away like he meant to, he got the names mixed up and said that my great grandpa Jim had passed away. So for about a week, here I am, thinking that the grandpa that was about to move in with my mom had passed and now everything had gone all screwy with everyone and things were going to drastically change. So after that week my mom calls me and wanted to see if I would go up to Bethany with her and everyone else to try and get things partially packed and situated as best we could, so i start thinking about how weird it is going to be going up to Bethany and grandpa not being there. So I get over to lisa's and my mom says to my little sister that we are going to go see great grandpa Jim tomorrow. so i finally figured out, after about a week that great grandpa Jim didn't pass, it was great grandpa Mayo that had passed.
either way, its still unremarkably confusing, but more sad than anything else.....

so on a bit of a brighter note, I'm starting to dislike my weightlifting coach.
    basically what happened was: last week 2 new kids came to my class, one of which had previously taken weightlifting, so that was no big deal, he just joined right in, but the other, was like me, he had never taken a day of weight lifting in his life. so what does coach do? well of course he doesnt do the logical thing and assigns him to one of the seniors who had taken that class for 2 years already, no....he assigns him to me...
so here i am, still trying to figure the whole thing out, and coach decided to throw the new kid at me too......ugh high school sucks sometimes....

I have also decided that at the end of the semester I am going to be flip flopping my spanish and english classes...right now i have spanish 7th hour and english 3rd hour, so after semester i'm going to have spanish 3rd hour and english 7th hour....the main reason being is that my spanish class is all the people that never paid attention at all last year when they took spanish so they hardly know any spanish and i'm sitting there trying not to make them feel like the complete and total idiots that they really are....and that really is being nice

but other thatn that i just get bored way too easily in that class.....its just annoying

anyway thats about it for me over the past week or so...
ttyl

School, School and more school......:P

Ok so my life for the past couple weeks has been just that. School, school, and more school. It's not fun. School isn't that bad, its just that the quarted just ended so like 3 of my teachers decided it would be a good time to start a project, at the same time. Ugh. So in english, i have a project on Seabiscuit (the horse) due sometime next week, in world history i have a project on ancient egyptian religion due on friday...and its not near done, and in....oh I guess i only have 2, but still they are the first grades for the quarter so if I don't do well on them then I am in DEEP shit for the rest of the semester....this should be interesting. So there is all that, plus I am still trying to get to talk to the music director so I can see if I will get the part for the musical...I just have a lot of stuff on my plate at the moment. And I am really thankful for this weekend. We are gonna be going out of town, I honestly don't remember where but I think it is Branson, anyway, we are gonna be there till Sunday night. It's gonna be fun. Anyway, everything else is going good.

and yes the color was necessary....   XD

Reply to the comments

Sam: hmmm...yeah my brain already hurts with just reading what you wrote...ow, idk im confused and im going to bed

Lisa: uhhh im not really sure about it, i haven't seen it but its coming from people that are in the high school marching band and have been playing for as long as i have, if not longer...but its too late, cause unfortunately the band director (the person i needed to talk to about it has been out sick for the past week or i haven't had the time to go talk to him becasue he goes to 4 different schools, so basically i'm not getting the part because i #1 won't have time to talk to the director and #2 i won't have enough time to learn the music, because by the time i get the music it will be monday and that would leave me with a week to prepare the pieces and get over my nervousness of being the only stringed instrument in the entire pit band (that part is a little nerve wracking)

A Quick Question

If someone ask you "Are you in denial?"
and you say "Yes." are you still in denail???

I'm confused.

Same ol' same ol'

hey sorry i haven't been on in a while...i've been really busy with school and stuff that i really havent had time to post anything.

anyway...not much has really happened since the last time i posted...

school is goin good, well as good as school can go

i've finally gotten to add weight onto the bar during weight lifting so i'm actually having to push myself in that class a little bit.

spanish is good, im ahead of the class, like i have been for the past 3 years...woohoo...

in world history i got assigned to my third ancient egypt project in the past 3 or 4 years....too bad i didnt keep any of my notes and stuff from the last ones :(

ohhh i almost forgot the good news... i might have the opportunity to get into the pit band for the fall musical for school...it would give me something to do music wise until we can get the whole private lessons thing figured out...but appearantly the music is really hard from what ive heard from people that are already in the band  so i dont know if i will be able to do it or not...oh well its worth a shot...nothing to lose so i'm gonna go talk to the band director on tuesday and see what he has to say about it

ttyl!

second day, second week...blah

So yeah its my second week and things are really going pretty well, I've managed to get at least a B on all my tests so far, one of which I had all of 2 days to study for...that was a fun one, at least it was ancient civilizations, which I am pretty good with anyway. Well at least one of my teachers is being nice and grading my test with a curve based on what I was actually here for.

Anyway, the soreness that I was complaining oh so much about before, has finally started to subside since I've been getting used to working out everyday for 45 minute straight, it only took me a week. So thats a good thing.

Oh yeah, my 4 yr old sister is playing soccer now. Today was her first practice/game, its hilarious, they play 3 on 3 with no goalies, it was one of the cutest/funniest things I have ever seen.

Oh, and I spent the weekend with my aunt, uncle, cousins, and grandparents. That was fun. I went to like 2 parties, one of which was for my uncles ex brother-in-law...I still don't really understand it but what ever its not my business...and the other was my uncle's friend just having a small BBQ so their kids could play together...it was fun.

So yeah thats is all that has really happened since the last time I posted, which I think was last week sometime if I'm not mistaken...

I'll post again next week sometime, unless something interesting happens between now and then.

TTYS
