Is it really worth it?

So i'm kind of sad today mixed with a state of perplexity. This weekend I read 'Our Town' for english and the whole theme is 'stop and smell the roses you only have one life' . Well, what if all my hard work and getting A's and constantly being stressed isn't worth it. I mean it's not like doing all that makes me happy...i'd be happier doing something else....like singing every day. What if i've screwed my life up already by worrying about my academics to much...can a 15 year old already have messed up? I got 25 on my ACT so really I don't have to ever take it again....if i didn't want to. But then again there is that little voice in me that says ' you can beat every else you can be number 1 and get a perfect score' . My grades do make me feels special, well at least up until this week they did until i found out i didn't get any awards for awards night and some really cocky idiots that i don't like did, my grades used to be my safety net especially sense i'm not stunninly beautiful or great at sports....but now that safety net is gone and i'm free falling and i don't know when i'm going to land or if i'll land on my feet. I'm just praying that i can make it through the next week and a half....then it'll be summer and no school.

But Soft! What light through yonder window breaks!

I was writing a really long post but then something happened and it deleted, and that makes me very mad because I'm not in a good mood, i'm in a somber mood.

TGIS-Thank God It's Sunday!!!!!!!!!

Phew-its been a really busy week.
I've had practice all week long, i have spent 35 hours total at the capital this week and at least 75% of that in the green room. I haven't read any of Watership Down which i really should be doing right now. Friday was our school performance of South Pacific.....i swear the entire front row was asleep.....they were the worst audience ever! If any of ya'll read the this..You SUCK! Friday night was much better our audience responded very well....if any of ya'll are reading this ................i LUV U! I went home with addie, we went to sleep at 11 and didn't wake up till 12 the next day. We ate fresh,( subway) Kath came over and hung out with us........then we went back to the capital at 5:30....got dressed and all that stuff then the play started at 7:20 even thou it was supposed to start at 7. This was definately the best audience so far...and at the greeting line afterwards i was so happy cause i got so many hugs, and the halls got me 3 carnations which was really sweet......I got a hug from Smitty!!!! then we went to BW3 which isn't as fun as people said it was gunna be. I went to sleep woke up this morning at six worked on my health project about marriage were i made my husband the Prince of Monaco , Andrea Casiraghi. Now i'm going back to sleep.

LIfe is Like a Box of Girl Scout Cookies

Life is like a box of girl scout cookies, you always finish the box, and then open a new one.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. Nothing amazingly important happened. Started the day out with talking to Harry, Trey, and Katie E., in the the commons. We talked about why my water fizzes...which is extremely weird b/c water isn't supposed to fizz......at least i don't think it's supposed to. Well anyways Harry came up with why it fizzes: My water is Sam's Club water and on the back of it it says "Sam Walton believed in innovative products....." So Harry says my water is "innovative" and that's why it fizzes. Of course there's always my brother's explanation, the water's nasty and cheap, which could be true too.
Then after our little 'discussion' i went to 0 period and we worked on our I-search papers, which 'I learned are really dumb' (hint: you have to start every sentence with I learned or I found this fascinating in the paper) Well anyways my topic, Anne Boleyn, was actually quite interesting, but i don't i can put in my I-search paper that "I learned that peasants yelled cuss words at Anne Boleyn went by them in London."
Oh by the way I passed out girl scout cookies today, and it seemed like everyone in the school insisted that they had odered them from me, but i'm pretty sure only people in my 0 and 1 period ordered. Well anyways so i got to Geometry and i was all happy to give Will B. his cookies cause he's been bugging me about them for a month. And guess what? He wasn't at school yesterday, kinda ironic huh?
Espanol was defineatly the best class yesterday because it was so entertaining. It started out with Ms. Martin saying there are some of you in this class who i really don't enjoy because you disrupt class so much, and Pablo, who sits behind me went "Ms. Martin am I one of those people?" And surprisingly today she said , "Not today" She was obviously talking about Catalina because she sent her out of the classroom. It's not funny that she was sent out the classroom but everytime Ms. Martin said something Catalina would stick her head in the room and say something. But before all that happened we were getting ready to watch 'Zarabanda', our Spanish Soap opera with Ramiro, who is in love with Maribel, but Maribel loves Vicinte her math tutor, but then everyone started talking so we didn't get to watch it....and Ms.Martin acted like this was a big punishment....but it really wasn't. After class Emily, Linda and I continued our new found tradition of saying 'Bye Ms. Martin' everyday on the way out of class.
Pablo's quote of the week: "Say Alice....are you any kin to Alice in wonderland?"

Nothing happened in Choir worth writing about....wait a minute i take that back....Mr. Sexton taught for the first time in weeks.

Biologia was like it normally was.......fun.......everyone ate girl scout cookies all period. And I tried to sleep.....but everytime i would lay my head down Page and Char would come really close to my face and one time Char put her pen in my ear....which is a really weird feeling.

Then I had play practice and i got to say my one and only line "Boat Boat Ce Boat!"
Well anyways the whole 2hrs i wasn't one stage ( i'm only on for like 14 min. lol) i watched Laura eat and talk about eating her girl scout cookies.....
Then i went home ate and my mom my bro and I went to the get-to( haha ...Margueax) theatre and saw the Incredibles...well actually i didn't see much of it cause i fell asleep 30 minutes in it and then woke up and right when i was starting to get into it again my bro was all like come on were leavin i don't feel good ( got his wisdom teeth out yesterday) so then i went home and feel asleep in my clothes.
quote of the day: " Maybe someone your lookin for is .......somebody in the next car...(don't know lyrics in between)....somewhere out there is somebody."

Lunch Topic: Normal

Me: amanda your weird
Amanda: okay
Alice: everybodies' weird
Me: so everybodies' weird then is weird normal?
Alice: I dunno......
Amanda: all i know is that i'm not normal ......so i'm not weird
Me: then what are you?

Who stole my book?

Okay, so this past week has been horrible. It all started last Wednesday when my health teacher informed me that I had 30% body fat ( your supposed to be between 18-25%). To make matters worse when she was telling me this she gave me this ' if you don't hurry up and start be super healthy your gonna die soon' look. Which I really don't understand how i'm going to be any healthier, I'm practically a vegetarian, besides the occasional chicken. So now i feel super over weight. Here my health teacher is telling us not to be anorexic and she's practically causing me to be.
But then the three day weekend came and I was happy once again! I read 300 pages in this book i'm reading,(wow....reading a 600 page book for fun i feel very.......i don't know what i feel).
Then i read watership down for App English...which is basically about a bunch of bunny rabbits hopping around and how evil humans are. The weekend was full of lolling (vocab word!) around. Except for Saturday which was completely busy........but the rest of the weekend was doing nothing.

Then tuesday came, and all day i was thrown off cause it felt like monday.....i up at 5 and got ready for school.........In 0 period we 'discussed' watership down....and my teacher wanted me to agree on how humans are the source of all evil.......but i completely refuse to call my self the source of all evil.
Wednesday i went to the grocery w/ mom. I got the NOTEBOOK! yeah! how dorky am I? buying a book at the grocery store...........
Fast forward to today, thursday, i get to school in an okay mood..........but by 3rd period i realized i had left my 600 page book that i was close to finishing in the commons this morning. ...... i went to lost in found twice.....it was not there........my friends told me they saw it lying on the table and i'm like "why didn't u pick it up?"but oh well it's not their fault.......so during 6th period D and Adebambo and I went to the Janitor's office....yes the Janitor's have an office and it smells oddly of ciggarette smoke .....i wonder wut they are doin in there???? ...............well anyways one of the janitors helped me look for my book and then asks another janitor if they have seen it and he said 'yea i say some kid pick it up this morning' By then i was like....no way someone STOLE my book
.............well so we went back to Biologia and we had story time and i read aloud the beginning of the notebook.......then i was Char for the rest of the class period and i don't really kno who she was........but she sat on the floor while i took her place..........then came dreadful play practice.......
and now i'm home.....................hopefully in the future my blog will be alot happier like i usually am(i hope at least i am)
Final thought: WHO STOLE MY BOOK? AND WHAT KIND OF PERSON STEALS A BOOK?

Bye people or as Mrs.Hines says BYE LUVERS........check in later
