Evanescence

Today's title reflects not only my current state of affairs (being that my time is evanescent w/ musical and all). But it also reflects today's Music o' the day, which comes to you courtesy of the Daredevil soundtrack. Evanescence's album should be out on March 3rd.

Anyway, apropos of the whole school deal, here's a quick rundown:

Monday: I overslept. I got to school at 10:30am. Unfortunately my mom called me in as "overslept" intead of "sick", which caused me to receive a wonderful sentence of 5 restricted lunches. I didn't spend much time in school on Monday because Jazz I played in Verona at conference Jazz Solo & Ensemble. We earned a 1st ranking, not a starred first, which is what's required to get to state, but I believe it was an apt ranking. Monday night I had show choir practice, which went pretty well with the exception being that we now have to wear ocupational hats that make us look as though we're three year olds flailing to some awful music and dance number created by Yanni and Philip Glass.

Tuesday: Not a whole lot to report here, either I'm sad to say. First full day back since the oversleeping debacle. We watched a pretty cool video in Social Studies entitled Nuclear Cafe. I took the 45lb weight out of my trunk and put it under Matt Olig's car (keep this in mind for later). I had musical after school, which lasted until 8:30. I went home, did Calculus, read some Crime and Punishment, and fell asleep.

Wednesday (Today): Um.. I'm tired. Had a tough time staying awake in physics as well as in Spanish class. I had to write an English impromptu. I don't think it went very well... I served a lunch restriction, which was interesting, I guess. After lunch, I practiced our Gershwin piece in band, sang in choir, where Matt Olig brought the aforementioned 45lb weight o' death back to me. After choir, I was forced to lug the damned thing into Mrs. P's room and then back down to the Band room and then to my car!! It was heavy! After school, I had jazz band until 4:15. After that, I went to get gas, went home, practiced my music pieces, took a nap, ate dinner, went to musical which was delayed an hour and a half for unknown reasons. After musical (7:30-9:30), I did my physics homework and updated my blog.

Today's Poetry

I trudge through the thick sticky muck
My backpack weighs me down,
It pushes and pounds, jostles and hurts,
I stare at my bloodied hands, the timeline of all the torment a
