Colleges
Here's a quick update before I go back to homework because I haven't updated in about 2 weeks:
-First of all, I'm going to Homecoming...big shocker I know. I have my dress and everything...looking forward to that.
-Second, I'm thinking about colleges and where I want to go. I know all of you guys are thinking "But you're only a Junior, relax". Well, I want to have a good idea of what my grade point average SHOULD be and a good estimate to what test scores I should try to get to help ensure my admission to some college that I'll end up wanting to go badly.
I've already decided that I'm not even going to apply to U of I. I just don't want to go period. At first I figured I should apply anyway just as a safety or something since...well...it's not a terrible school. But after talking to Nick, I decided I'm not going to apply because IF I were accepted, I wouldn't want to go anyway so why waste the time and energy? So far I've only looked into one Illinois school and that's Millikin. I don't have much of an interest in ISU either because so many people want to go there and ::shrugs:: I guess I'm just not interested. Right about now, I wish I were smart enough to get into NYU. That would be like a dream come true. I decided I'm going to see how this year goes (so far it looks like I'll be able to pull up my GPA a little bit because I'm very motivated to work now) and see what my test scores are like and then...who knows...I might even apply. I mean, I don't anticipate in getting accepted but hopefully they'll take into concideration that I'm very active in school and that I do challenge myself enough that I'm not bored (I know that I'm not capable of taking all AP classes, so that's why I'm not taking any this year). And maybe my audition will impress them enough to accept me. Hopefully by then I'll be good enough...or at least have potential because I feel as though I'm not even close. I'm still working.
My main motivation in working in school right now is to raise my grades so I can get accepted to a good school. Certain colleges want a particular score or grade...or somewhere close and I now am serious enough to care. I realized how much I screwed myself over my freshman and sophomore year and now I need to pick up the slack and really work. ::Sigh::
I looked into Syracuse a little bit ago and I really liked it. That's a school I'm definitely going to look more into. :-)
Alright, to homework...then to crew. I feel kind of guilty because I ditched a couple days or left early. I constantly have schoolwork on my mind and how I need to get home and do work. Blah. And so I've decided, I'm going to spend most of Saturday at the library and start on my US history term paper and get all of my other homework done as well. I need to get into the habit of not saving my homework until Sunday night because I no longer have time then because of VOA rehearsals. ::Sigh::
Alright, I'm off for real now.
Always, Sandy

My brother asked his ex-girlfriend, Sam, to homecoming tonight. I had to drive him over to her house and my mom had bought special teddy bear shaped cookies, flowers, and a tiny stuffed animal for him to give her. So I watched from my car. She gave him three hugs. I laughed. Then he got in the car and i asked him if he still liked her. He said yes, even though they had gone out in like 7th grade.
"Actually, it was 6th and 7th" he said.
"Ah long term relationship" I laughed.
She broke up with him if i recall it correctly. She was a nice girl though...i can see them being one of those couples...the football player and cheerleader...and going out for like a few years. Scary.
Ah well it was cute.

i was going to put this under friends only...and then private...but i figure no one reads this anyway...not only that, but maybe everyone should read this.
a few days ago i meant to post a letter i wrote to everyone. i just forgot to bring my notebook with me. it apologized because im taking opportunities from my friends and people around me that deserve them more than i do. and so for that i apologize. i dont feel as bad any more because those opportunites are coming around to them.
last night i upset neil, again. as well as sandy. and for that im sorry too.
just dont listen to me.
i dont think ill visit neil this weekend. i promised i wouldnt call him all this week. he watns to miss me.
you probably shouldnt talk to me this week either...because i can almost guarentee i wont be in a good mood.
so im sorry for all of that and whatever else i should be.

I Have No Idea.
This is a completely random entry. i honestly dont know what to write about.
i had a convo w/my mom and my grandma about me getting married (my mom wants me out of the house by 21 thats shit). My grandma started listing random guys in iraq (one had an awesome name and i think he was the number one choice, yea ive never met him) i thought it was funny and sad.
i told my mom what if i brought home an american she turned around and simply said "your dad would probably poisin him" it was funny. But no i know my options are so limited.
i dont like the "party" music on kiss fm, it sucks.
Fuck, arg, grr. Ok sry. randomness.
im supposed to observe a conversation of creative writing and then redo it, im not excited for that, it seems long and stupid.
Grr.
i dont think i have any other thoughts.

Sometimes you feel like every love song in the world was written with you in mind -- and then, later on, you realize nothing could be further from the truth. No matter -- you're going to hear the lyrics how you hear them today.
It's interesting...because it makes sense...I usually can't relate to "love songs" because....well yeah....just thought I'd add it here.

My Dream
My family...or maybe just me ...we had a slurpee/smoothie maker. And I went to this place and I thought it was cool because it made those in like minutes (cuz it doesn’t anyway??? lol) and so I made 4...1 for each member of my family
Then I was with my gym class and like this spirit came...or a ghost or something (he was somehow connected to my family too) and we were getting ready to meet him (he came out of like a magic lamp or something) so someone was like...we should give him the smoothies...I’m like....err.... but I didn’t tell them that they were meant for my family because I figured I could make more
So someone (it may have been Melanie) helped me to make more...but we had to make 4 different flavors because they were all out of the ones I was supposed to make and I had no idea how I’d explain the fact that the flavors were wrong to my family. So anyway the guy came and he put up walls all around us and Mr. Morrello tried to explain that we had to go to classes but the guy wanted us to stay with him and never interact with the outside world.
Everyone was kind of freaking out...but at the same time no one quite understood what the walls meant. Then he was like I can do this too and he grabbed me and put up walls around the two of us and Mr. Morrello was like...that’s not cool you shouldn’t do that
So then I think I started getting claustrophobic and I was panicking and the guy felt bad. I was complaining that I couldn’t breathe because I started realizing before everyone else that we were going to be stuck here. So everyone got on a bus to go back to my house but he rushed me back there with him. We went to the like the attic and he started kissing me and he was all happy and didn’t want anyone to come ruin it. It was like his first kiss or something (don’t know how I kissed a ghost lol) and then people arrived and he was trying to find anyway to keep us from the rest of the world. That’s all I remember. It was weird though.

So I decided that I'm going back to the good old days...you know, the days where I worshipped actors and musicians... Melanie and I worked out guys into three groups according to Hanson.
See, theres Isaac, who is a 'Hot Guy', Taylor a "Pretty Guy' and Zac, "The Chunky, but still cute guy"
See Johnny Depp is inbetween being pretty and hot...hes definitely both, Orlando is pretty, Shawn Ashmore...pretty, Heath Ledger...pretty. Lots of pretty guys. Haha it was a fun night.
I was thawing out. (Melanie would get this hehe)
And falling in love with fake people instead of real people. Fake guys are sooo much better to fall in love with. You can obsess over them and they will think its normal becuase lots of people do it! Isaac is so hot when he sings "Ain't No Sunshine When Shes Gone" :D ::Deep sigh:: See everything is better when you think about how great a fake guy is lol. I really like those guys that sing...or sing and act...like Heath in 10 things i hate about you. When he sings to her from the bleachers ::SIGH:: That was the best movie moment ever. And the poem at the end is cool...
I hate the way you talk to me
And the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car.
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick --
It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh --
Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around
And the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way
I don't hate you --
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
And then they get together and its all happy.
Ok back to my Hansoness and working on my Purdue Application to turn in tomorrow. Bye

I need to shower
I haven't updated in nearly two weeks I think, maybe more. I guess I haven't had the "inspiration" to write lol. So here's a quick recap:
-School started...it's not bad...Isabelli isn't bad so far...he really expects you to learn and I like that...I think I'll get a lot out from his class this year...I'm just not looking forward to writing papers for him. Also Dircks isn't too bad either. She seems to be ok with me so it's all good. Her voice can get a little annoying but other than that, I don't mind her. She really seems to know what she's talking about and I like that as well. Things actually make sense and I'm estactic.
-I didn't make Dracula which I'm fine with actually. I was pissed but it wasn't because I didnt' make it I swear. I mean I was disappointed with things...but because I kinda let my emotions get in the way of how I presented myself. I could've done so much better...but I was pissed when I got on stage and that affected my presentation. I didn't have the feeling of "I gave it my all" when I was sent home. That's one of the reason's I was pissed. But overall, I felt really great about making callbacks. I had never been so excited to be call back in my life. They cut 50 people!!!! Yeah exactly! They only called back 21 out of 70 people...of course I feel great about that.
-I decided to do One Acts. I'm gonna work really hard and try to make it. It can be my little practice type thing for the musical. That's the one I'm gonna be freaking out about. I really really REALLY REALLY REALLY want to get a good role for that one and I need to be able to act and I need a lot of practice in that area...especially because I'm not great of an actor. But I try and I have fun with and that's a plus, I think.
-I decided not to ASM because there really isn't a need for two for a 10 person cast. There really isn't. Phelan said so himself. And it was good because that's what I was thinking and he kind of got me out of the grey area. And I've ASM-ed in the past and Stage managed. I generally know what I'm doing. There's still some things I need to learn but I don't need to be trained from the beginning. So I decided I'm gonna go tell Phelan on Monday that I'm not gonna ASM but do One Acts. I'm really happy that he wasn't going to turn me down though. He said he was plaining on having me ASM in the first place and that made me really happy. Just the fact that he wasn't going to turn me down felt really good. Sorry, Phelan, but I don't think you need me for this show. Now for Bo, I'm happy to help him out by joining crew :-).
What else is there? Oh yeah, people are flipping out about Homecoming. I decided I'm not gonna go. It's no big deal...well unless I'm asked...but I'm not planning on that. Last year, Homecoming was kind of arranged and it wasn't as fun as it could have been because both my date and I were there because people wanted us there. ::Shrugs:: He's still cool though. He's still super awesome.
I'm racist against dances, boys, and bugs.
Always, Sandy

Notes adn talks
My brother was like strangly hyper today and forced to stay at home so we talked, i made fun of him. I honestly miss when we used to be able to talk cuz its sorta weird but at times hes not a complete jack ass, i know amazing. Anyway.
Couldnt finish h/w i failed miserably...omg did i tell u, the first take home quiz of the year in bio i lost, yea man, i was so pissed off. I drove all the way home adn didnt find it, i think mr. bomgaars thinks im a complete idiot. Yea it sucks.
I read two notes that i wrote last year, adn they made me tear up. I can't believe im such a sad adn desperate person. one was written for me adn the other one i wrote intending to give to patrice. The incredibly sad part about the two notes is that they are 100% accurate. Like my predictions so came true, that made me even sadder than teh fact that i wrote a note to myself. So my goal is to stop teh process of what the notes said woudl happen. Yea, um makes no sense to u but i wont tell u what was written in the notes b/c one was for me self adn the other one i guess was sorta for me cuz i knew i woudl never give ti to patrice.
Creative writing is going ok, i havent had to share anything in class yet, so thats all good.
Adios amigas
remember life only sucks for a few hours after that it gets fun and then starts to suck again....but the fun part is so worth it. :)
