Minnesota.

So in ten minutes I’ll be driving with my dad to school, waiting a half hour about, then leaving the state. Today is the day, finally, for the AP English field trip to see Hamlet at the Gunthry (sp?) Theatre. From what Mrs. Abt says, this is one of the best theatres in the nation; the play we’re seeing will the be the last performance at this building, they’re moving.

Six hours of bus. Oh man. I burned a few MP3 CDs as to calm myself, not to mention that talked myself out of buying an iPod.

Tonight should be fun. We’re getting there at 11, have like 3 hours free time, maybe more. We’re then going out to dinner, then shooting over to the theatre. After that, party time. So says Abt.

On Saturday we’re going to Mall of America, then comming home. Should be home at like…anywhere from 8pm-11:59pm. We don’t want to pass over midnight, or else we get charged for another whole day.

SPRING IS HERE.

So, I walked out of school and it was warm, yes warm. Nice enough to drive with all the windows down.

I got home and went around on my skateboard (stole it from Brian) inthe neighborhood. I just now was on the bike.

I’ve come to the conclusion: This is a 2.5 child, dog, mini van, soccer mom neighborhood.

Woot.

Brain Not Feel Right

Oh man, my head is still spinning after today.

Last week I planned to hang with Tifany after school, head to Bacchus. Well that was actually carried out, successfully and fun. Mid day today I recieved another text from Brian, saying they were filming today, and needed me. So I dropped Tifany off at her house at 4:00 and went to Subway to get some food. I ate and read Their Eyes Were Watching God. I thought we’d be filiming at Sara’s, but no. I called Brian and found out that his dad and him were picking up Sara and 5 (or leaving at 5) and then heading to his house.

So I just asked Brian to pick me up from Subway, I’d go back there, yadda yadda. Well they didn’t pick me up until about 5:20, so I got a chance to do some chit-chat with Jennie.

We picked up Sara and started to film right away. Filming went great. At one part I played the fat uncle, Phil, and was in a fat suit. It was great.

7-o-clock strolled around and I said I needed to head out, so we ended up leaving around 7:30. We dropped off Vincent (one of the group kids) and Sara, then myself at Subway. Turns out Eric called my dad, or my dad called there, asking for me and made it sound like Sergio, but dieing. I got a call from my dad to call Subway, so I did. Inbetween all this comotion I was going to try to close for Sergio because he wasn’t feelin’ too good, but I forgot I needed to do a scholarship.

So I helped them out when I got there, and before I left I was caught in a conversation with Jennie.

Man, these past two days have been so hectic. I don’t like to take money from the parents, but they said they’d give me spending money (for clothes) while up there. Now I don’t have to be as worried about gas, woohoo.

So So Angry.

Today was a day of Angst. I was mad all day and had no reason, I almost feel bad. English wasn’t that bad, but the worse came out in Chinese. I slept during the movie we watched, that helped. The beginning of Government and Politics was a sleepy movie time, but I stayed awake enough to know what was going on.

After lunch we went to the computer lab to work on our papers, which Anderson is giving us way too much time to do, even in class. I got bored, I hate doing projects at school, and checked out Wikipedia. Tom and I did some reading up on the Mayan clander and how the world is to end December 21/22/23 2012 at the twelth baktun (sp?).

During Newspaper I got a text from Brian. After school I drove over to Bradford and picked him up, he was going to do some filming for his project (finally.) It took him 6 minutes to get out of school…bah. We got to his house and loaded up, turns out he needed the guitar, bass, and such. I had to drive him out to his dad’s work, but half way there we realized we forgot the camera and pulled around. We were going to grab some copies of the script Brian had made, but they were misplaced; his dad didn’t even know where they were. So the time was now 3:30, I had to work at 4, we still needed to make a copy of the 10 page script, then shoot to Jeff’s.

I got to work just a little late, nothing too bad.

Work suckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkked. We were so busy, but half way through the night Jennie and her friend stopped by, weehee. They got some cookies, and I sat down with them for a little bit and talked. She needed help, I think? about a rhetoric essay she had to write about the drinking age.

After a little chat we were kicked in the bum again by customers, she told me to stop by CD Warehouse tomarrow, which I said I would because it was already planned.

We got out of work at 10:45 tonight. I got home around 11:10 because I had to get some gas.

Tomarrow I’m hanging out with Tiffany after school, playin’ some pool. Going to drop her off around 4:00, head to the library and read my AP. Get some food at Subway, stop in and say “Hi” to Jennie, then head home and finish my Government and Politics.

To Us These Streets Belong

Two buys today: Bob Marley and GG Allin; what a mix. I caught a glimpse of the Bob Marley CD this morning and bought it, I need a CD off his. After I got out of work I went over to talk with Jennie and CD shoppin’. They have like 5 GG Allin CDs, which really caught me by suprise.

Jennie’s a nice girl, very nice. She came in and got a sub, we had a small chit chat session. I stopped in later (when I got the GG Allin CD) and talked more. Some kids were in the back parking lot smoking pot, stupid kids. So we chatted about that, talked a bit. I walked out to my car, deciding what to do. I didn’t want to drive back home because if I hung out with someone I’d have to drve back into town (both Brian and Mark were getting off work soon). Right as I was calling Brian I trurned around and saw Jennie, with a pen and pad. I shut the phone and she gave me her number, but said she wasn’t too used to becasue not a lot of guys are interested in her. I don’t think that makes sense, she’s very pretty. So we said our good byes and I sat in my car figuring out what to do. I ended up throwing my stuff int he car and heading back into Subway. I helped them out, a rush of people had came after I left.

After that I ran back into CD Warehouse and dropped my number off for Jennie, it only made sense. We had a little talk here and there, was very sparatic. She mentioned how she hates Tremper and she’s glad it is her last year, so college was brought up. I asked her where she was going, and behold: Stevens Point. I took a triple, not just double, take on that one. That’s pretty cool. She’s going for Interior Design.

Too bad I don’t work any of the days she does this week.

MAN, the weather is starting to piss me off. We’ll have warm weather, then cold, then a random snow shower, rain, warm, repeat. By touching the window pane next to me I can tell today is going to be another cold day.

I work at 12 today, but leaving here at 11 so I can pop over to Johnson bank and cash my check.

I might work 4-8, dunnno yet. I’ll be in that area late, that’s all I know, so I can talk to Jenny.

For some reason I’ve really wanted to listen to Rise Against’s “Siren Song of the Counter Culture.”

Hm.

Hooray For Me

Man, I have been fatigued lately. Every morning, since Mondayish, it got worse Wednesday, I have been waking up and turning off my alarm, then passing out. Sad thing is I don’t remember doing that. Standing up has felt like a chore, my eyes have been puffy. Everyone keeps telling me it might be because I have allergies, but to what? I’m guessing it’s just this messed up weather. My asthma, which was also allergy related, we think, would always get bad when weather was messed up, or during the spring and fall. Maybe my body picked a new thing to do. Heck, I like this more than coughing.

AP English is scaring me, I am worried about my grade, much so; so are quite a few people. I recieved the form today that will let me sign up for the “big test.” I kept telling myself I wasn’t going to take it, it’d be too hard and such. I think I am going to, though. Today we took a practice exam, just multpile question, and it didn’t seem too bad. I think I’m going to get the form filled out and I’ll turn it in after I see the results from the test; or just suck it up and take it.

Minnesota is just a week away now. Next week friday I’ll be at ITA at 5:30 in the morning boarding a bus for a 6 hour bus ride. I’m going to pack my laptop to go with me, maybe they’ll have an outlet on the bus, ha who knows. It’s going to be mainly for at night at the hotel; give us some tunes to listen to, maybe so we can watch some movies.

I left school around 10ish something because I felt so crappy. I went home and slept until 2:08, man I had some messed up dreams. At 2:40 I headed into town, Rachel and I were going shopping for those flowers people wear with their suits and dresses, I couldn’t spell it for the life of me. I went in Subway and got some grub, made me feel a bit better. Rachel wasn’t home when I got to her house, so her mom and I chatted a bit. I’m a wonderful boy :) haha.

We went to three different Florists. The first one we went to, can’t remember it, was horrible. The lady approached us and I already knew I didn’t want to do business with them. She was very uppity, she protrayed herself as some million dollar woman, it bothered me. We left and went to Aiellos (sp?) and that was a bit better; they mainly do weddings ,not prom though. So we ended up at some place near Andy’s on Roosevelt Road. That’s where we’re going to get our stuff.

Rachel’s dress is pink, so tomarrow I am picking up a pink dress shirt to go undernearth by blazer.

I work four to close tomarrow, hope it all goes well.

It’s an Aday..so it shouldn’t be that bad. B days are horrible with feeling like this. I go to AP English in the morning and fry my brain, then I have chinese which can keep me awake or kill me. Gov & Pol which is kind of boring, especially since today we would have spent an hour in the computer lab. Newspaper is…well yeah.

Sundays

I hate them. I’m sitting here dieing, without a thing to do.

I woke up around 10am or so, but I didn’t want to be awake. I have had a busy past few days, so I wanted to sleep in. I woke up to a call from Courtney, which didn’t bother me. We got in a “fight” because of certain things, but yada yada. She’s still my prom date.

I worked on my scholarship that my dad’s union (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers #150) is providing to members’ kids. It wasn’t too tough, but tough enough. I tried to be as straight to the point as possible, while standing as firm as I could on my thesis.

But now I am sitting here, bored. I played pool, or tried. I can’t just play by myself anymore, I get too lazy and don’t try.

I’m eating in an hour, so there is no point to go anywhere until then.

Maybe I’ll find something after dinner.

I’m Alive, Part Two!

Well Thursday I worked from after school to close, I wanted the extra money so I punched in at 3. The same followed for Friday, but we were open an hour later.

Saturday, an hour ago, I woke up at 6am. At 6:30 we headed out to Milwaukee. We got there early, tried to find food but failed. The college placement tests started at 8. I finished both tests before the halfway point..I was so bored.

I got out of there around 11:50, back in town (my house) at 12:40.

I got to work at 1ish.

Worked until close.

Total hours racked up: Thursday-7.73 Friday-8.05 Saturday-10.30.

I work monday 4-8, probably 3-8. :) for money.
