My morning.
This morning...alarm went off at 6, but I didnt really start moving until dad came in to check on me (at like 6:45). He said I didnt feel too warm, and that mom was going to take me to school when she went. So I eventually got up out of bed and fixed my hair as I walked down the hall to mom's room (my hair was a total mess this morning) and she took my temperature, and I didnt have a fever, but she said that since I had a fever last night, I could stay home. I made greg some breakfast and went back to bed. She came in and told me that if I didnt have a fever when she came home for lunch, I'd go back with her for 4th period, since that was the last time I'd have that class before my exam. And even though I was in bed for about an hour, I ended up just picking up one of my favorite books and reading it. I love that book, its so exciting. Its like..action film only..with a tad of romance. And I mean, just a TAD. Not enough to not be like..a romance story, but enough to keep you interested if that's what you're reading the book for. And ya know what? I have a small bit of hives or something on my middle finger on my left hand. Allergic reaction to something, but I dont know what it was. Its driving me crazy, it itches so bad, but I'm not itching it. I put some stuff on it, so its a little better now. But still. Annoying. Anyway, I be done for now. Just thought I'd tell you about my morning.

I dont feel so good....
My show is on tonight. Yay. On the downside, I have to finish my Geography review for tomorrow, JUST in case I get miraculously well over-night and have to go to school. And I'm feeling horrible. But I really and truly cant stay home tomorrow, and I really and truly cant skip swimming. But I'm gonna have to if I end up feeling this horrible tomorrow, which I must say is likely. But I have to go now. Mom says I should be doing my review somewhere else...

Haha I feel special because I know what "nostalgic" means. It was a vocab word a while back!
I have a headache right now, which really hurt when I nodded to Mrs. Lloyd. I wanna go home and take a shower and some Advil or w/e I can find at home to take for a headache. As I told you the other day, I swam with the intermediate swimming class during choir, which has brought my grade up to a 78. Yay! And to make things a little better, we took a quiz in Spanish and I was the only one in all her classes to get a perfect score (a 106 including the extra credit). Lol. That was fun. Umm....I have an altoid. Its yummy. :D Mom has 2 students in here making up work, so we cant go home yet. People had to turn in their forms to exempt exams today, but of course, as a freshman, I dont get to exempt any. Oh well. I talked to my counselor today about getting out of swimming, and she gave me some pretty OK choices. I mean, they arent the best, but who would expect them to be? Mom was right about me fixing my schedule now and not after winter break. All of the health classes were full already, but I'll survive having to take health next year. Which means I'll take health and speech and...dunno. But whatever I'll figure it out. So tell me, which is better; Intro to Business or Recordkeeping? Lol, I know they arent the best classes, but they can be useful. Like, a business class would help with who knows what, since I want to be a teacher, and Recordkeeping could just...prepare me? I dont know. Lol. Its basically accounting. Oh well, I'll figure something out. I feel talkative, even though I have a headache. I think I'm gonna like...get off now. So bye!

Choir party tonight, woooooo!!

Swimming.
Ok, I just got back from making up not swimming for a day. But how on Earth did I end up with a 73 in swimming? How is that even possible? Well, Mom was pretty mad at first, but then we got into this whole discussion about how much better I could be doing without swimming, and how much more I could accomplish. Dad believed me, and he talked Mom into it, so tomorrow morning, after swimming through choir and stuff, I'm going to make an appointment with the counselor and have fun talking to her about getting out of swimming and getting into something else. So yeah. Maybe it will be fun swimming in an easy class. I know they do easier stuff than us though. HEY, maybe he'll let us swim in lane 1!! I would feel so special. Lol. That lane is supposed to be for the really fast people. Woohoo. Oh well, anyway. I'm done. Adios. Sianara. Buh bye. Lol.....

You killed him!
Lol. That's just such a funny comment when said the right way. But yeah. Coach Henry has been such an annoying person today. Now HE'S someone I'd like to kill. Ok, this morning I gave him the schedule of all those choir rehersals we had before school, which got us out of swim practice like...5 times. And so Coach Henry got all mad and says "Well, if he can pull you out of practice, then we should be able to pull you out of his classes." So he makes me ask Mr. A if Liz and I would be able to get out of choir. It wasnt really a problem, but I DONT feel like swimming for an extra hour for 5 or 6 days. That will just suck totally, but I'll get over it I guess. Ok, done now. Bye!! (I know I havent written much recently, but for some reason I'm just not in the mood to tell it all. I had to force myself to say this much.)

That concert was SO AWESOME!!! It will totally show ours up, but its not our fault that our program is tiny and we have a brand new director. Oh well, tonight was great. :D :D :D :D :D :D

I get to go to Mia's Chrismas concert tonight. Hip hip hooray. Lol. I love choir stuff, just anything. I'm gonna wear my GHS choir shirt to a CHHS concert, so that should be interesting. Yay, I'm excited. But I'm still very tired. Ok, bye.

Woohoo.
Wow, first entry in a while. Mainly because the site was down. Well, I guess I can fill you in by pasting what I wrote in my other journal yesterday:

I guess I didnt update yesterday, but mainly because my other journal site is down. It is STILL down today, but its ok, I'll survive. Well, today was a pretty much GREAT day for me. Liz and I got to swimming about an hour early this morning because we didnt hear anyone say that swim practice didnt start until 7:30 this morning. Which was mean, and by the time practice was about to start, we had to leave to get to the choir room at 7:45. So we got there, everyone warmed up, and by 8:20 or so, we were off to Grapevine Middle School. That school was actually pretty cool, but it sucked because they have to wear uniforms. Other than that it was cool, brand new too. This is only like..the second year they've been using this building. After that we went to Cross Timbers Middle School and that place just sucks. I hate that place, even though I was only there for like....1/2 an hour. We were VERY quick to get out of there because it was time for lunch! We went to Crystal's Pizza and I just pigged out, if only to spite Coach Henry. He would scream at me if he knew how much pasta I had. Lol. And thennnn we took a nice bus trip to the BEAUTIFUL Crescent Hotel in Dallas. That place is SO. FRICKEN. PRETTY. When we got there, we got to stand around for 15-20 minutes and watch another choir perform. I couldnt decide if it was a show choir or a jazz choir. They sang really jazzy stuff, but they danced to it all. And it confused me. They were pretty good though. Really good actually. Oh well, we did better. We actually had people stopping and sitting down in the lobby to listen to us, so there!! HAHAHA!!! We're so much better. Well, the rest of the day is obvious. Got back to school, went to the last class of the day, watched a movie in there, and here I am! Now we're about to go home, so see ya!!

And that's the only entry I wrote while this site was down. Ummmm...today has been pretty boring so far. Last night Mia, Dad, and I were gonna go to a concert at Six Flags. That didnt work out, but it didnt really matter. Dad just took us to the mall and we called Ian and he came to the mall and we hung out. It was actually pretty funny, because besides Dad being at the mall, Mia's parents AND Ian's parents were there. I dont think we could have handled much more parental supervision, although we didnt really run into any of them as we walked around the whole mall about 3 times. Ian and Mia are just so cute together. Its so sweet. Although I'm worried about Mia at the moment, they had this choir thing at her school this morning, an upper classman in choir was supposed to "kidnap" them and take them out to breakfast with everyone else. Well, Melissa and Lorie went to Mia's house to pick her up, and although Mia was dressed and everything, she said she was grounded. Now I know Mia wasnt just making up an excuse not to go, because she told me last night she couldnt be out too late because she wanted to have energy in the morning. So I'm anxious to get over there, give her mom's phone back (I took it home last night by accident), and ask what's up. Dunno, but I think I'll go get ready now. Adios!

Can a day get any more boring?
Well, today was a drag. Biology, same old thing. Have to go in tomorrow morning to make up a test I'm going to miss while on choir tour friday, and I also have rehersal tomorrow morning...I'm still mad I didnt make the concert, but I guess I cant hold onto that....still, its a let down. I dont have too much more to say at the moment. I'm staring at my fingers for some reason. Its kinda amusing to watch them move around typing and typing and typing. "Typing" is a fun word to spell. Can you not tell I'm bored? And exhausted...We went to the computer lab for math today, some program thing. Its kinda fun, and its better than sitting in the classroom. I have to stop by and see him sometime too. I just have so much to do tomorrow. At least geography was easy. We had a test today, which I think I did ok on, I just think I may have needed to study the terms a bit more. My essay was pretty long though. And my average in there is a 100, which I find strange yet very pleasing. My grade in Algebra is an 89, and I STILL cant figure that out. All of my grades in there except for 2 are 100's, and the 2 that arent 100's are 80's!! We've only had one test the whole 6 wks, and that was one of the things I got an 80 on, so maybe that effected it some, but still, makes me sooo mad. But I believe I heard him say at one point that unless the person really deserved it, he would round their grade up rather than leave it hanging. At least, I hope that was him. It better have been, I'm not taking a grade that is a point off from an A. It sucks..but oh well. I'm done now. Write more later, maybe.

GRRRR!!!
Ok, earlier when I was writing I had obviously forgotten one detail of my day: I DIDNT MAKE THE CONCERT!!! And yet he picks Liz, who sang Silver Bells, even though she doesnt have half as strong a voice as me. I mean, I think its his JOB to make me feel bad about my talents! I thought I did great, especially for not have the piano playing with me!! Perhaps he thinks I'm stuck up about my musical talents, so he turns me down thinking it will change things? I'm NOT stuck up, because if I was I wouldnt be thinking that..would I? I dont know, but whatever. I just..like showing off, and yet...I dont know. It just bothers me that I tried so hard, and had my hopes so high, and then he just drops me off the cliff. Just...GR! I think I'm done now. Ohhh he makes me so mad...
