Hoo-kay.  Wow.  It's definately been a while since I've updated.  I suppose seeing Jim update his LJ after so long has kinda made me want to finally update mine.  There's a lot that I <i>could</i> talk about, some things happy, some things sad, school, work, and band.  I don't want to talk about band.  I've got a lot of opinions about various things this year...but I don't feel that this is the proper venue to express them because it would turn into a rant that could paint me in a poor light to non-Leadership types.  It's the same reason I haven't commented on any band related topics of anyone else's.

I could talk about work, but...it's <i>work</i>.  Aside from Tommy and his family coming in on Saturday, nothing really noteworthy has happened.

I could talk about the good things, but I'm not in that kind of mood right now, and I kinda want to get to the real reason I'm updating.

This weekend, Life kicked me square in the nuts.  My grandmother passed away last Friday morning at 4:30 AM of cancer of the everywhere.  I got the news when I got home from school and while I knew it was sad and that it sucked, I didn't really feel any great sense of loss.  It sounds terrible but I really wasn't that close to this grandmother.  I've always felt closer to my maternal grandma who lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana than to my paternal grandma who lived in Tempe.

As if having to deal with the loss of a family member was enough, the sore throat that I'd been fighting off all last week finally got the better of me halfway through my shift on Saturday.  I had to finish off the night feeling miserable while still trying to be civil to two other dishwashers who, to be honest, I really don't like.  Anyway, I had to stay home Monday (missing a Humanities and Calculus test) and I'll be missing Friday for my grandmother's funeral.  Long story short, even if I wasn't sick or if I wouldn't be emotionally drained that day, I wouldn't be able to march anyway due to ineligibility.  Oh well, Werner told me to take the night off and I'm not going to fight him on it because, frankly, I think it's the better option for me right now.

Anyway, I'm still going to work tonight even though I'm still sick.  I've also got to do the written take-home part of my Humanities test for tomorrow, which I'll have no time to do because I've got work tonight.  It sucks, and I really just want to get this week over with.

I totally just finished my entire summer project for Humanities.  While not the crowning achievment of my procrastination career, I feel like putting off the writing for an entire summer project to the last day (and completing it) is an achievement.  It's something that I didn't think even I could do until today.

Happy Birthday Liz!

I love you babe.

In other news, I'm really fried right now.  This year's band camp has been taking more out of me than past ones, probably due to the fact that I've been really pushing myself since I'm on Leadership Team.  I'll post more later, but now it's time for a shower and bed.

Well, I'm feeling better today.  It probably has to do with the fact that I'm really excited about some of the things that will be happening in one of the d20 Modern games that I'm playing in over on the Order of the Stick forums.  The  event I'm looking forward to probably won't happen for a while, but I'm really looking forward to it as it takes my character in a direction that I never thought he'd go.

In other news: I've got an eye appointment tomorrow to see about getting contacts.  w00t!

Current Mood: excited

So, the only thing I really have to say about today is "meh."  I'm really not in a good mood today.  I'm not in a bad mood, I'm just not in a good mood, and it sucks.  Nothing even happened today to put me in this mood.  It wasn't a red letter day, but it wasn't a bad day either.  Maybe that's the problem.  Maybe it's the fact that while nothing bad happened to me today, nothing happened to make me excited either.  Perhaps yesterday just left me so drained emotionally, mentally, and physically that I didn't really have anything left to feel much of anything today.  Besides apathy, of course.

This really sucks.  I'd rather be in a bad mood than be in a "meh" mood.  At least when I'm in a bad mood I have a reason to lash out at people.  While I'm in a "meh" mood, I may want to lash out at people but I can't justify it because I'm really not that angry.

I need something to get me excited...or a hug...or both.  You'd think getting my paycheck today would have gotten me just a little bit excited, but all I felt when I looked at it was disappointment.  I made $62 bucks.  This is the largest paycheck I've ever gotten, and I'm thinking when I look at it is "Is this all I made?"

I'm rambling.  Someone invite me to go do something either tomorrow during the day or Monday, I work tomorrow evening.

So, I got my AP test scores and my SAT scores on the same day.  For AP, I got 4s in both AP US History and English Language and Composition.  I am quite pleased.  I did well on my SAT scores too, but I'm too lazy to post those at the moment.  I'll add them later tonight.

Edit: I just looked at my SAT scores again, and realized I did a whole lot better than I thought at first glance.

The Breakdown:

Critical Reading: 700
Math: 680
Writing: 720

Grand Total: 2100 bitches!

P.S: Thanks for the userpic TiVo, I hope you feel better soon.

P.P.S: No CompEx class for dance this month makes me sad, but good SAT scores make me happy.

Current Mood: happy

I found this rant over on the website of PvP, a webcomic I read.  In short, Scott Kurtz, the author, is the man.  Check it out

I just got my Food Handler's Permit.  Yay.  The test was exceedingly simple.  My picture on the card looks like a mug shot.

In other news: I need another character concept for a d20 Modern campaign.  Ideas?
