Another year of school has begun. I am excited. I traded in radio and journalism for two choirs, wich means I will be working my tail off to compete with basically everyone in the class who is better than me. I will be going to France with them. We are going to sing a mass at Notre Dame and sing in the chapel on the beaches of Normandy.

Let's seee.. my american history teacher is a lady named Jennifer Lopez.she seems really nice.
I started a new job today. Isn't that weird? Let's see my job history

Kean's
Senate (bleh)
BRLT Theatre Camp
Radio Station (current)
Girl Scouts (currently tues, thurs, few hours independent work on photo archiving)
scanning/indexing en masses (boxes of gazillions of pages and scanning them into a computer)
dude
I started my new job at a $2 an hour increase.
aint life great?

I have some American History and Advanced Math homework, perhaps I shall do it.

Update on life

2006-07-21T03:17:01Z

Life is going pretty well. I really need to work on my talking w/ mom and dad. I gotta start realizing I will lose that pretty soon.

My car is great. I am planning Morgan's birthday extravaganza.

Upsetting occurance

2006-05-23T01:47:11Z

OK, so I really need to get this off my chest. I had a really horrible incident with a teacher today.
I will start of by apologizing to miss whitley for being disrespectful by going up the stair well and around to the other side of the hallway so that i wouldnt have to walk all around the school. ok i get that was wrong.
although my principal did see me passing out newspapers and told me i could go through the hall way.

so.. I was confronted by mr. barnes at the bottom of the stair well. And he sat there and yelled at me blah blah blah blah... i was so pissed
so i went up and back out the back door to go around..
went to mr aldrich.. dropped off papers..
went outside to eat my brunch..
mr barnes walks up... tells me to stand up and speak for myself
gets like 2 inches from my face and just yells at me
saying crap like,
"I don't care who your parents are or what they do or blah blah..."
i'm standing here thinking "what the crap (although at the time i didnt think crap_ "
so as he proceeds to say he is going to have me suspended and have me fail my exams..
at this point I am so upset/angry/mad that i dont know what to do, but you know what i didnt yell at him i just said what do you want me to do sir
so as he continues to yell he tells me i am going to be 95 lbs by the time he is through with me.. and tells me that i have to go back into the school up the stairs back down the other side and then go out the door and go all the way around the school as he watches me.
This was one of the most de-humanizing things I have ever experienced. I am not an idiot, and I really do not like to be treated as such. Mr. Barnes had no right to involve himself in something between me and mrs whitley. Furthermore, I did one thing wrong, but I did not warrant a second confrontation by Mr. Barnes. I really just wanted to curl up into a ball and cry today becuase i just feel so threatened and humiliated.
A) he is a techer
B) he is much bigger than me
Is it even legal for him to be in my face like that?

if this freaked you out, i am in a bit better spirits now so dont worry

Life is alright.

2006-05-07T15:05:11Z

I haven't updated this journal in a very long time. It used to be exciting to me to go back and read different entries from the past, just to see what I was doing way back when.

Life is ok right now. I am having trouble in Math and Chem, but I am dealing w/ chem.. Math worries me a tad bit.

work on saturday was not fun. We had so many angry customers at 3 pm when the clothes were supposed to be ready. I don't understand how everytime it was just like, "Just tell them they are not ready." I got mad angry looks etc etc etc

mm maybe I will clean my room today? I miss seeing Chelsea and Lauren. I also miss Jacquelyn.. I notice her parents have dry cleaning to pick up.. maybe they will come get it soon. :0
Well, have a good day everybody.

oh ps: I tried out for Beauty and the Beast--Dance try-outs monday at 7!!!

Winter Formal!

2006-01-15T19:51:24Z

I had such a great time on Friday night. It was so great to be with my friends. Tsunami's is the most amazing restaraunt I have ever been to. The food was killer and the view was narly. I love downtown. I had at least as much fun before the dance as I did during it. It was so hot up in thurr. But, hey I love dancing so.. I'm so glad there was no drama, except for us accidentally leaving alex, but that's ok. We'll pretend that didn't happen. This is me and my date before I am so happy that the four of us went to Waffle house after and had waffles and Hash Browns. Too bad my chocolate milk had particles in it and no one told me!!! wooo shaaaaa I look forward to winter formal next year alreday.. I wish sophmores went to prommmm

getting ready for christmas

2005-12-23T04:39:57Z

So i'm pretty much ready for christmas now. Everything is bought except chelsea's present, wich i have a general idea of what I want. Uhh, my grades. As long as mrs. parker doesn't screw me over on my crappy project and the fact that I wrote on the exam, I should have all A's and one B in Chem. I don't know how I got it, but I have an 88 in that class. Wooo Mrs. Frost. I shall bake that woman cookies. I actually made a 97 on DeVries. Despite my complaints about her, she's sort of nice deep down.

So, today was fun. Me, morgan, kelly, and stephen hung. We ate at Ar Zi's greek esque place. Hmm there was a lot of random drama and awkwardness. So, I still don't know what there is to do about that. I guess it's really not as big of a deal as it all sounds. Just drama/awkwardness/drama. Oh welllll live and let livee.

I feel like I have been really negative lately. If I was negative towards you, sorry. I am resolved to pray more in the next year and be closer to God. So, forgive me for being mean. I need to talk about other people less and keep an open mind.

tomorrow is dress up day. I have nothing to wear. I went to wal mart w/ my mom to get a multitude of things and we forgot about the mask I Was gonna buy..... we got in a fight about my driving on the way. GOSH why do I always end up mad at my mom whenever I drive with her. Then we get home and she does the same thing I did, but somehow it's ok because she knew there was no one behind her? ? ? ? GRRRRRRRR. My mom totally knocked over a box of cookies and left it, then blamed it on my brother....... grrrr i dont like it when my dad is not here. I have to feed the fish, take the dog out like every 15 minutes at my mom's beck and call. STILL HAVE NO COSTUME> Grrrr. These girls got in a fight on my bus this morning. it was really odd. they actually started slapping each other's hands like they do in movies... I always thought that was fake/exaggerated. I'm a believer now. Girls actually slap each other like that... then they moved over the seat and started pulling out weave. That's intense, dude. Poor girl next to me was all upset.

mattttttttttt has to memorize his bell music and wich hand to use cuz i'm retarted

Fall

It's fun, but I am really not cool with having to wake up early-- again! Classes are going pretty well. We had our choir concert last night, and I am quite satisfied w/ my performance.

That freshman guy was acting CRAZYYYYY.I wonder who came and got him? hmm, dustin brought us home. he's a really nice guy.. i forgot about him I met him at chelsea's one timeeeeee. uhh yeah it was fun to not have to introduce myself to everyone. niiceeee.

2005-10-11T22:03:37Z

Hmm so yeah. Today. uhh. We had a useful one way officer member, and I have to key in all the members now. (excelll) Uhh, alex rode home w/ us and my brother heckled the poor guy. My mom & I randomly got into an argument in the car. Ending w. me telling her I want to move to spain when I graduate. her telling me i'm crazy and am going to catch a disease and die. Me telling her that I could catch a disease at the centroplex or that I could die from a gazillion things in baton rouge. So yeah, I guess i'm not the best person I could be. I apologized to her for that, but I try. And so what if I want to live in spain.. big deallll

grr

2005-10-07T02:00:10Z

Smallville is becoming a night time soap opera. It used to be really clean and that's why I liked it so much, now they've done gone and sexed it up. D000d. It used to have good action and mystery and now half the show is about clark and lana and that crap. The action wasn't even that original/good tonight it was like ooookkkkkk. grrr and clark should be more nerdy like... what's next an illigitimate super child?
grrrrrr against the writers of smallville

choir audition

2005-10-02T06:46:13Z

Choir auditions were today. Rode w/ john mark, he tied my tie for me in the practice room. I feel like Mrs. Smith doesn't like me very much? I thought I was one of her favvvv students, but she just sort of said "matttt ristttt" then I tried to say bye to her, but she was talking to some other woman there... weirdness. So the audition didn't go well. I've practiced for so freaking long. I know the words. I know the music. I get in there, the sight reading is easy as pie. I can barely hear the freaking CD, I think that's what messed me up. Not to say that I would've made it anyway, I was just hampered by stopping in the middle of a sentence to make sure I was in synch with the CD. Whateva. Ho. Brittany didn't make it, so I do not feel bad at all. I'm not nearly as good as she is. PLus, it's no fun without brittany. :) 8th grade all state= mucho funo. I'm sort of dissapointed with myself, I guess it's good to lose every once in awhile. Keeps me grounded. Progress reports today. All A's and a B in English (so hard) and Chemistry ( I SWEAR i had an A.. whatever)
Latin Festival w/ Lizzy from 1-3 pm tomorrow WOOOOO
lizzy is the best senior (leah is the second best)

Playmakers

2005-09-28T02:53:34Z

Ok, so I can't sleep. I have 24,000 things going through my mind. I am commited to a choir concert/rehearsals in december, mock trial starts soon and I wnat to do this playmakers musical. BUT, The new managing director of playmaekrs hates me. Partly because I don't know and mostly because I disobeyed her and we sprayed this girl with a water gun during the last show of James and the Giant Peach. Now, apparently my rep at playmakers is trash. The whole thing just pisses me off because it's so not as big of a deal as it is made out to be. I've apologized, the whole works, and yet this lady is saying I probably wont be able to be in the next show. And honestly, as long as she's director it looks like I won't be in any shows. It's crap like this that makes me not even want to act. Grr i just don't get why it's such a big deal. I mean i shouldnt've done it, but how cna she deny me a part in a show I coudl be good at just because of this ?
grrr
but in other news
I am singing Untitled Hymn by Chris Rice on October 20th at St Mary's cathedral for choir : )

2 months

2005-09-24T02:51:00Z

I still can't believe it has been two months. It seems like an eternity in a world without Jacquelyn. I can't imagine what her parents feel inside right now. I pray for them every day. I miss her so much. I found this pic today, it comforts me! Check out the pic and then the poem i found i wrote her in fifth grade...

2005 "I was cleaning out a floppy disk and I found some really silly journal
from when I was in fifth grade. Apparently I was enraptured by a girl
named Jacquelyn. It's really kind of silly, I was obsessed with wanting
to kiss her or something like that. Here is just a little part of the
journal entry:

When I see your face mine lights up.

When I hear your voice i come and listen.

When you look at me my body chills.

When your hair swings i feel swept away.

When we laugh i smile and feel something so magical

And finnaly when you kiss me i will feel wonderful

Isn't that just hilarious? Jacquelyn is going to laugh so hard when she
reads this. I think she knew I liked her in fifth grade though.

Zorro out"

B Club

2005-09-21T22:42:27Z

Today was B club. I thought One Way went very well, pretty much all the officers made their own membership applications for people.. it was quite disfunctional in a humorous way. Umm... the day went pretty well.

So, we were sold out last night.. it was quite exciting .. i want to update my myspace but it wont let me urgg..
