hippoooooo.
i'm so tired i can hardly think. today was sticker day, according to me. i had fun with it. and now i have no homework, so i will take advantage of this most craptacular afternoon and sleep, clean my room, or drink coffee and think of how i should be sleeping or cleaning my room. thank you for your cooperation.

boom. i got your prom date.
today was much better than yesterday, which totally sucked ass. i got an unbelievable amount of makeup work in first period (yes. i was absent a week and a half ago and did ask if i had any work to turn in. she said no, then proceeded to give me two glutonous assignments. thanks, mrs. grannell. like jem, you are truly, truly, truly outrageous.); discovered in third period that i failed the john donne test (you know. the one i spent three hours studying for.); nearly failed another test in fourth period (the man had mercy and let us continue it today, so that bad grade just transfers to present.); got one shining ray of hope in fifth period when i had my calculus exam graded and NEARLY MADE A FIVE; and had my faith in humanity crumble when i went to sixth period and had to discover that people like mrs. newman - including mrs. newman herself - exist. i had the headache from hell all the while, with no time to nap or even change my shirt between tutoring and work. needless to say, i am erasing april eighteenth from the calendar.
today, not the case.
i stuck it to grannell and finished almost all of her damned work (much of which i even turned in at the BEGINNING of first period); had a second period club to go to (club week is still a terrible idea.) and a present waiting for me when i got there; chatted all through third period; still did poorly on the fourth period test, but not as much as i would have without the extra day; kicked ass in fifth period on the chapter five tom-foolery; banished newman from thought in sixth because i went to the library to finish typing all the crap for euro i would otherwise be occupying myself with at present; and got to see a funny picture meticulously prepared by jessica s. sweeney in seventh of mrs. jarrett's favorite circus animal.
and i save the best detail for last:
prom dilemma happily solved. graham is the lucky beau. now that things are coming together - dinner, plans afterward, date, etc - i'm pretty excited.
tell kim to go to prom.

a vindication on the rights of student
what on earth possessed me to take calculus? why did i think it was a good idea? though completely without direction now as to what i will major in and spend the rest of my merry little life doing, i know it will not involve higher-level math simply because i would avoid any career requiring extensive use of functions and integrals and derivatives and all the otherwise useless information and techniques presented by this course.
it is due time to sing your heart out, cher.
if i could turn back time,
if i could find a way,
i'd take back my senior schedule
and fix it.
if i could reach my couselor's pc,
i'd change it all to null
this really,
really,
REALLY difficult class.

i am really happy to be alive today. the sun is so nice and warm and there is a breeze blowing in through the window i am sitting next to. i can't even come up with a good reason as to why i am inside right now.
what a beautiful day.
i was thinking last night and it occured to me that this is that time i will refer to when i mention all the names of people long graduated and long forgotten about me. this is the time i will be talking about when i say "i remember working at my first job" or "a girl i was real close with in high school" or "my old boyfriend used to drive one of those." this is the time when most of my poetry and reflections on major events and major changes within myself occured or occured to me that the something more than what floated on the surface was actually the part that meant the most.
this is it.
and it seems as though the slanting shadows made by grass upon the sidewalk are nodding in affirmation in the glittery wind, nostalgic already even though it is only today.

"and the embers never fade in the city by the lake."
i'm still kind of all over the place. i don't know what is going on in a few classes, but it doesn't really concern me. i did get a warm welcome back, as i haven't stepped inside the building in a week. it made me feel so very loved and missed.
this week is unusually packed with things to do. today was my tutoring day (cancelled, because of "illness." you know how it was when you were in fourth grade and just didn't feel like being at school.), tomorrow is grad party picture day, wednesday night i have to work, thursday i have an eye exam, and friday begins my normal weekend.
ok. so maybe that isn't a major list of plans and appointments, but it's more than i usually do during the week. i suppose that makes me kind of boring. or really boring. your pick.
if anyone reading this has chapter 21 for the euro review and doesn't feel like doing it alone, i'm your girl.
that's about all for today. tune in next time for more maggie mania.
and the title has nothing to do with anything. don't read into it because i put it there with no thought whatsoever. just a good song.
i heart yrbk.

bang, zoom, to... hell.
i guess it wasn't THAT bad, but it wasn't like i was expecting it to be. i'm just glad that it's over.
high points of the state science and engineering fair:
1. gaston! i met someone named gaston! ("as a specimen, yes, i'm intimidating!")
2. refriending.
3. pony boy.
4. kid falling flat on his face on stage.
low points:
1. loud and obnoxious middle schoolers.
2. freezing buildings and establishments. all of them. even the bus. not cool. not literally.
3. dropping my bag directly on my foot last night in a frantic hurry to get to bed (i guess that was after-the-fact, but i still wanted to mention it to elict pity and avoid explaining the bruise that will no doubt cover my entire foot.).
i guess that about sums it up.
oh, and i won fourth place in my category. i was pleasantly surprised.
today marks the last twelve-hour sale of my retail career. no nostalgic reflections to add. after i get off of work at 10:30 or so, i'm going to see my friend and his band play their first show.
to my sister: congratulations on the million interviews you have. good luck, and i know you will be accepted at many schools.
to everyone in chorus: i'm really sad about missing spectrum. i heard from everyone that went that it was great. good job, guys!
to everyone who kept calling me these past four days: thank you. i mean it. sorry i was boring, but i really apprectiated it. kept me sane amongst the penetrating sounds of ringtones being changed every three seconds.
to everyone not included in the above: some people call me maurrrice. wao, wao.
end scene.

"just to see you smile,
i'd do anything
that you wanted me to.
when all is said and done,
i never count the cost;
it's worth all that's lost
just to see you smile."
not that that song has anything to do with me right now, but it still felt appropriate. i don't know. call me crazy, but buler wants soup for the buck naked art vandalay.
and never disappointed. you're talking to vanessica, so i think it's clear who should be embarrassed.

he put my stuff in jello again!
the office is hilarious. i highly recommend it.
work was really enjoyable, believe it or not. after we closed, the weirdest thing happened. there had been practically no one in the store all night, but come 9:00, ten or twelve women ambled up to the front of the store to check out. where did they come from? the gigantic ant pile someone set on fire in the rear of the building? i will never know.
tomorrow i'm working in the morning, so i will hopefully be doing something incredibly fun (and cheap) at night. i felt like going out tonight, too, but the whole "hey. i'm broke." thing is kind of inhibiting.
i haven't got much else to say. hope everyone had fun at the renaissance festival.
happy bithday, eddie. hope it was amazing.
april fools!
