Thursdays only exist to make me wait.

Thursdays are so boring. They are not even worth waking up for, I swear. It's all filler, but today was pretty good despite this. English, french, and science all fulfilled their average requirement of being mindnumbingly boring, with the exception of the brief moment of excitment when my english teacher almost caught me reading to the end of the novel I'm reading for that class, The Boy In The Striped Pajamas. I finished it on the bus today. It's tragically sad, and the narration is so beautiful. The ending almost made me cry, but the situation was really not ideal for such actions, so I didn't. But, back to english. I was on page... one hundred something of the book, and we're only supposed to read to sixty five. I do wish my class were paced a little faster. My teacher came over and asked me why I was so far ahead, to which I said something like, "I was looking for my bookmark." She frightens me. A very intimidating person, who doesn't understand the concept of mercy. Math was more of the same review work that is actually, in fact, presenting completely new concepts, as well as a lecture or two about us being, 'high school honors students who must be flawless in every way, show our work neatly in a seperate notebook, clear our calculators before use, and never, ever forget our units' I don't think it's dawned on my algebra teacher that we are not actually high school students, yet, and we're all simply unlucky enough to be placed here for the duration of the year. Civics was boring nonsense not worth the sixty minutes it took, and gym was only decent. Teen Living was great! I finished my pin cushion, and got a B+ on it despite the fact that I did all of my hand stitching wrong. I think my teacher feels sorry for me, because she complimented the symmetry of my design, which happened to be about three quarters to the right of the cushion, and crooked as can be. But that matters not. I'm so relieved that I passed within the allowed time.

Upon arriving home, I did a math review sheet without paying much attention to how accurate it actually was, feeling a little sick of that subject at that point. I'd better get my father to review it with me before the test of Tuesday, to avoid failing and all that. My math grade is devastatingly horrible right now. I hate getting failing grades back, it makes me feel as though I've disappointed everyone. And I need a B this quarter, or I'm going to have a C+ for the year in math, which apparently seals my fate for working at a fast food joint. I did some french homework, since I may as well rake in all of the points I can get; it's only a matter of time 'til I start failing things again. I practiced piano, and worked out everything I needed to. By the time next Tuesday rolls around, I should be completely prepared if I continue to work at this rate. I need to improve my fluency and speed and such, but I know all of the notes, and I remember how to read the bass clef now, for the most part. Clarinet ruined my knowledge of note - reading, on the bass clef. I'm really good at treble, but I cannot read bass for my life. Which is sort of needed for the piano.

My father had to work late tonight, so my mother was the only parent present at dinner, and this turned into a heap of unnecessary melodrama that made me say all sorts of things I didn't mean and call my mother a rather ...mature insult in french. Fortunately, she didn't understand it. She creates most of the angst or whatever in this household, and everyone knows it. After dinner, I took my dogs for a walk. Which was pleasent, since my favorite sort of weather was present today. Clouds, about fifty degrees, a little bit windy. Perfectly wonderful. I wasted the rest of the night on the Internet, and now I'm writing this.

I listened to quite a few things, today. I'm not in any phase at the moment, which is unusual for me. It's only a matter of time before I find some new band and obsess shamelessly over them for a couple of weeks. Lemme try to remember what I heard. About five versions of that 'Spin Me Round' song. Jessica Simpson, Marilyn Manson, and some other band all covered Dead or Alive. Plus Flo Rida, who's version still remains my favorite, pathetically enough. I also listened to quite a bit of Blind Melon, some Smashing Pumpkins, and a little bit of Soundgarden. Pretty Noose is one of the best songs ever, I think. I tried Lady GaGa today, and I really don't understand the hype. Her songs didn't have the catchy feel to them like most pop songs, and so I don't know how she's become so successful. Her fashions and such are very unconventional too, which I wouldn't think would earn her too many points with most people. They sort of scared me off for a while. Poker Face is alright, but her bigger hit, Just Dance made me bored within the first thirty seconds. I listened to 1989 by Mindless Self Indulgence several times, but had to shut it off because it was beginning to give me a headache. I'm in a very odd mood, this evening.

I cannot wait for the weekend. It's going to be grand.
