It's not that bad, really.

So first period I have English. What bad luck to have my least favorite class first period, before I'm totally awake. I've fallen half-asleep like five times already during it. And rawwr does the teacher not like that. "I may just have to move you to the front!" Yeah, to make it easier to pester me if you see my eyes close. I'm already on her bad side, 'cause ... the first assignment was an in-class thing, but I was out of it, so I didn't do it... and at home, I forgot to do it. The next day we do a group poetry explication, and I didn't get a copy of the poem, and I was still too sleepy to raise my hand. This is when the teacher gets in my face and calls my mom and all that joyous stuff. So I did both assignments that night. The first assignment was to write about a time when you had an epiphany and use poetic imagery to describe where you were, why you had the epiphany at that time, and what you learned about yourself. And it was supposed to be a page-and-a-half, five paragraphs. I've never had an epiphany. Whatever. The poetry explication was pretty easy. But wow, what a lame poem that was. Next day, the teacher says "Oh, I shouldn't even take this but I guess I'll let it slide this time." (The next week, we get the papers back, .. I had both assignments on one page, and all I see is one "25" (out of 50). Is that half-credit for both assignments or half-credit for one assignment and no credit for the other?)
AALLL I'M REALLY SAYING IS is that I had a bad start and I hate English already, wa-narfing-hoo. College admission essay due on the 16th, awesome. *gag*

Second period I have AP Studio Art Portfolio. So yep, back to doing one thing every three weeks. The first few days of class, instead of working on a project, I was drawing on my cardboard class-drawer portfolio thing. Then I started drawing something for Swiffer. I tried a mouse-veiw (or whatever that's called) camera angle, but I don't think I did it well, which is why I haven't worked on that in a while... (sorry!) So later I spend two periods doing the drapery sketch you see there. Then later I colored that. She really likes it... Saying she'd seriously pay me if I can teach her Photoshop stuff. Eheh. Figure drawing tomorrow, whee.

Third period is Speech. It's been a lot more interesting than I thought it was going to be. Or at least this part. Intrapersonal stuff. It's been pretty fascinating learning about this "emotional intelligence" and stuff and stuff. There was this one group assignment I did on my own, we were supposed to write a dialogue with different interaction scripts and stuff like that... The groups presented theirs. I just typed mine up and turned it in. Created a new character for that, so you'll see a drawing of him soon...

Fourth period is AP Music Theory. Yelp, I didn't finish the first test we had on Tuesday. I'm really slow at naming intervals. This is going to take a lot of practice, but it'll be awesome. Part of the final project is composition. Whee. Also my friend who lives on the street I used to has the class the same period. Haven't had a class with him since Chemistry sophomore year.

Fifth period is AP Statistics. I don't really like it, but the teacher is fun. It's not mathy enough for me. But I think I'll be able to handle it...

Sixth period is Creative Writing. Should be more fun when we get to things I actually want to write... I'm a really, really slow writer, so... yeah. We've talked about advice letters, letters of recommendation, op-eds.. stuff. It's the first year this school has had a creative writing class (I think?), so we're guinea pigs to the teacher's course plan. He was my Honors English I teacher until I failed the first six weeks and switched to regulars. (Because I didn't read either of the books... ha.) Also because this class isn't for honors credit, he says he can "throw out 100s" if everyone does the work. Very different from how he teaches honors courses.

Seventh period is Jewelry. All I've been doing so far is working on a chain mail choker. I need to work on the design and the other parts of it, too... not exactly sure how it's going to turn out.

I'm taking Japanese II at ACC after school, classes are Monday and Wednesday. It's easy, but some of the work is kind of busy work. But I really don't feel like writing a Kanji 50 times if I already have it memorized.


There's really not much going on here other than school...
Mom's enforcing the 11:30 PM curfew (thanks to English), so it's no fun when someone I really want to talk with doesn't usually sign on until 10:00 or later.

Maybe I should stop typing and go draw or color something... or write something...

Uhm. Hi.
