All these shows and school work is really tiring. I know I have a final probably tomorrow in English. We don't do any real work in there so the final will probably be something easy that I can ace.
Today I was awakened by a text message. Which was awesome because I had overslept and so had my parents. So when I woke them up I was pretty much yelled at for waking them up late. How lame is that? It's just another excuse to make me mad. But making me mad worked for me because I was stronger to go to school and face all the problems, which, mind you, seem to be somehow fixed now.
So I went to school and whatnot. I tried to finish my illustration for my illegal immigration story but I couldn't because my presence was required for the cover picture of the newspaper. I don't really think I should have been in the picture but no other boy was available. I hope people know who their paper's Editor-in-Chief is now!
So then came time to leave! To the museum, the Ed center, and City Market. I loved City Market! Mainly because Jose actually asked me if I could buy him lunch today because he had forgotten his wallet. I definitely said yes! I saw this as a chance to make up for what I had done the day before and bought him lunch. He told me he was going to pay me back, but I told him it wasn't necessary.
Oh yeah, the guys who worked at the place we bought our food were Hispanic! They were speaking to everyone in Spanish! It was cool! Somehow. Jose and I were going to sit together but we ended up sitting with Shawnee, Yajaira, and Shereese. I just want him to be happy. At some point in time we hugged. I can't remember why, but I think he said "I love you" and then I said it back and we hugged. He's a great friend.
I also bought Gelato and shared with friends. I especially love sharing with boys, I don't really know why. I guess it's because I'm gay? -shrugs- Cranberry! Hey!
Oh, at the museum, I tried to teach some girls how to dance Duranguense. I explained it carefully and then I went crazy and I cranked it up. They were laughing at and with me. Ehl-oh-ehl. I just really want to go to a party! Aaargh!
The Ed Center was just so funny! Ask me about it if you don't already know. (Self:Fruitcake)
I stayed after school for a Yearbook meeting and I finished my illegal immigration illustration. If you don't get The Cannon, you can read it online. Just go to Tech's website and find the link that says "The Cannon"
Then I came home. Ate. Took mom to work. And left for the Zooooo. We saw Emily Bolick's mom on our way to the Zoo. She asked about ourselves and where we were performing. We told her and she ended up showing up! With Emily! That was fun.
The Zoo was just awesome. I keep capitalizing zoo because it was that important and fun, by the way. We performed without coats! It was freezing but singing helped, I think. We also got free Starbucks! Weee.
I think most of us also stayed to see the rest of the zoo. It was fun. It was great. I especially loved the dolphins and randomly singing in front of some Christmas trees. It was great.
Back home again, in Indiana...

Changes
I need a new layout for my blog.
Right now I am stuck doing the homework I've been putting off since the beginning of the semester. Mainly in my English class. Now it is all due Monday. I really need to hurry.
Oh. Last night I had worked on two book reports also for my English class. I got to school today and looked for them. Nowhere to be found! I came home and they were neatly folded underneath a book. It really pissed me off because I even wrote super small to fit all I had to say about the book. Grrr. I told my teacher about forgetting my papers and he said I was trustworthy and reliable so he let me have it my way and turn them in Monday. That will probably give me time to re-read A Lesson Before Dying and writing a book report on that as well for extra credit.
It's been done. I will be auctioned off for a fundraiser. I hope someone buys me so I don't look like a lame loser that no one wants to be with. The other two boys participating have expressed their concern about same-sex bidders. I really wouldn't mind, unless . . . yeah.
At first I wasn't going to do it but Ms. Jesse said I should. I hope I do get some money, ehl-oh-ehl. Actually, I hope Huggins lets us do this. Because it's an awesome idea and a great fundraiser. If we have more sexy people it would be so much better.
"Heeey!"
Oooh! Today during fourth period I got to somehow flirt around. My friend Summer wasn't there so Josh went and did me company and showed me his new electronic device. It's some iTouch thing. Really cool though. We played little games and I beat him on one. I think it was something to do with memory. And then! Ooohness! Andres came up behind me and was looking over me. You know what I mean? Like me sitting down and he leaning over/behind me with his head like right on top of mine. I felt special, ehl-oh-ehl. I really don't think he's gay at all, but it'd be nice.
Music was okay. Somehow Ms. H's speech on Improper Moments To Cry seemed to have been directed at me. She even fixated a look on me while she said to not cry. She stared for like an entire minute! Even people noticed and they started laughing. Some were asking me not to cry right there. I didn't.
I had chicken nuggets today for lunch.
Japanese was cool. We had a cute substitute in there. He was young so that helped. I didn't want to bother him so I didn't even ask him his name. We did watch a cool movie though. Not Grave of the Fireflies because that would have been embarrassing and awful. For some of us. Or most of us.
SMOGEE. Since we are done teaching 7th graders we are going back to book work. I brought mine hope so I could hopefully finish it (ha!) during the weekend. Along with all my English and Journalism work due!
Turns out we also have a final for that class. It's not necessary. But Environmental Science is fun and very interesting.
Techoir after school! I had some free time and tried to play J.S.Bach's Prelude with April doing the flute solo but it turns out I was playing something different. I've been told to play what I know and that it should still be fine. I hope so.
Rehearsal was kind of fun. Silly jokes and silly people are awesome.
Angel pays a lot of attention to body odor, I think. Or maybe to the really bad ones. I should start bathing in cologne from now on, hehe.

Still Working
At this moment I find myself still doing work for yearbook and journalism. I don't blame anyone else but me though; I keep putting stuff off. My usual problem.
Today Mid-Terms were handed out during first period. I had all As and a B in U.S. History. That's not my real updated progress though; Ms. Frank didn't realize grades were due so she just gave us the ones she had previously recorded. Lame. Liar. Loser. LaVitch.
I realized that one of the girls under my yearbook section had an F in Journalism. I am partly taking the blame on that because, being the Academics Editor, I haven't given out real assignments.
Speaking of being Editors. I am the Editor-in-Chief of The Cannon, and I truly believe I am not doing as great a job as I could be doing. But then again, there was no Editor-in-Chief last year so I really don't know what to do or what to follow. I know one of my duties is to make sure all staff writers have their stories, but seeming that I am only in one Journalism class I don't ever see or know the other ones. I think that next semester I will take both classes to make a bigger impact and participate in yearbook meetings.
If I auctioned myself, would you bid and strive to get me? I ask this because I want to take part in the fundraiser for The Cannon newspaper and yearbook. And I don't want to do it if no one will even try to get me and just make a fool of myself. That is one of the things Ms. Jesse is afraid of: Feelings being hurt.
Oh yes, of course, U.S. History. Ms. Frank spent half the period looking for our Chapter 9 tests. She seems to have misplaced/lost them. Her usual self on crack, I guess. I really want to make it my job to get her fired. But that is evil and it contradicts my philosophies in life.
Oooh! Remember the new cute boy I've been talking about in my English class? Well, he and I were the only ones done with a small project. I felt special somehow. As if by accomplishing this I will gain his friendship, trust, and love. It's a small step towards the long road of hope leading to the City of Dreams.
I was really busy today during fourth period. I didn't realize until later that I had barely spoken with Summer at all.
It was mainly due to the teacher not being here and me having to help the ENL students since no passes were allowed to go and get help. I was moving around the room from end to end translating and showing where the answers were located in a passage. Then the bell rang. Time went by fast for me.
Even non-ENL students call me George/Jorge now. I love Andres. He is silly. I told him his name was my first name and he said that he was going to change it then.
I let him have the Sports section of my Indy Star and I explained to him why I didn't read that section.
I was surprised to see Tech alumni during Music App today. I thought it was only going to be Chordially Invited. But there were more! I definitely wasn't expecting to see Amber and Claire! They are awesome people. Austin was looking good too.
I guess Ms. Brown wanted to show us off by having us sing most of our songs. This was really bad for the basses (only Angel and me up there!). It didn't help that the guests were attentively listening for later critique amongst each other, as usual. We handled it, though. And later, Lerron showed up and helped too.
Ms. D and Ms. H had some of us on a search for the Christmas trees. Somehow they disappeared. They weren't in the Guitar/Prop Room or the Technician Dressing Room where same-sex members go in and dress for shows at the same time. Ms. H really wanted to locate these two trees to adorn them for Christmas. I hope she found them. I found the small one that they always put by the window on top of the piano in the music office.
Lunch. Yay. Japanese. Yay-er.
SMOGEE. Free day! No IUPUI people showed up and Ms. Solchik wasn't there. Since we are a special class, no assignments were . . . assigned. We talked the whole period and some of us (me) read. Or at least tried to.
Right now we are getting the house ready for visitors. People are coming over to celebrate Thanksgiving with yummy Mexican food.
And I am still stuck trying to write my Illegal Immigration story and making up assignments for my section staff.

Disparame Dispara
Shoot me Shoot.
It's a song, don't worry. Really good, by Laura Pausini. I love it when she sings in Italian.
I forgot to mention something in yesterday's entry. So here it is: April had a project due yesterday for her Health class. She had to make some kind of 3-D creating of a tongue. It turned out pretty cute. She even used (neon) pink Play-Doh for her project. I printed out an image with the tongue's taste buds labeled in the picture so she could do that on her project. So she stuck cute little toothpicks in the right places. Then she gave me the printed sheet! Isn't that awesome!? My own little image that tells me when I can taste "sweet" the best! Ehl-oh-ehl.
It was April's idea, she wanted me to make a big deal out of it, so here it is.
Journalism was kind of wild today. Two editors were bashing on Angie because they don't like her story idea but, instead, they want to write more about hot topics. I truly think we need parts of both, and Ms. Jesse will listen more to her dear Editor-in-Chief, so I'm going to tell her that. I'm also going to ask her how to start the petition so I can start working on it during Fall Break.
I wanted to take this break to finish up my homemade Christmas cards and start on V-Day. Also, I want to start applying to colleges. One of my friends in New Pal already got his acceptance letter from IU. Jealous!
Today MLK's speech was really due. I was the first one to be called upon by the teacher to recite the passage. Unfortunately, I was only able to recall 30 lines out of 57. I wasn't the worst one though; she only said four words. Tisk tisk.
I hope I have a B so far. There were about 1,000 points possible. I got 600 today, and if I do the extra credit I'll have 900. Not bad.
The ICP class was watching IMAX's T-Rex. I was so cold so I had my fake-bunny fur on me almost the whole time. And I watched the movie too. It wasn't that great, mainly because I didn't finish it. But, whatev.
Music was okay. We had Technicians and we worked on some Christmas songs. It is imperative that we practice because now Ms. H also has Fall Play and not much time with us.
I'm seriously thinking about taking my own lunch to school just because people are incredibly rude and ghetto. Black people can cut you, not pun intended, but you can't cut. What the eff?
Japanese was intense. I though. I think we have a quiz tomorrow. Shoot.
SMOGEE was annoying. I turned the lights off twice when the teacher walked out. The first time she made a comment about forgetting to turn the lights on and the second time she told us not to turn them off anymore. It was so funny.
So after school. We had a short newspaper meeting since Ms. Jesse had to leave at 3:30. I left earlier anyway to go to Techoir and work on stuff. I didn't do very much, but hey! We ended up going to German Band's small show outside of the auditorium. It was pretty fun. And they had huge pretzels too! Yum. I don't have the same feelings towards Root Beer though.
And for some reason, Steven couldn't keep his colds hand off of my neck and face. It was funny though, and he tried to pull my shirt out of my pants.
I think Yajaira likes me, and she still doesn't know I'm gay. I don't want to tell her though. I don't know, I don't want to hurt her feelings.
Band was pretty much canceled due to lack of band members showing up. I think the band did work on some music, but not much for color guard. Besides, only three of us showed up. Whatev, I worked on Japanese.
I was going to stay for Tech's Open House, but decided not to so I rode the 5:30 bus home. I arrived at around 6:40. Whatev.
My computer is dying. It turns itself off. It's scary. So I have to burn CDs with pics probably this week. What a burden.
It's okay if you don't update tonight Audrey. I love you, tee-hee. ^^v

My Apologies
For not updating in like forever. It's mainly because I don't have as much free time as I'd love to.
Let's start with Friday.
I had a field trip that day with my journalism class to Franklin College's workshops. I went to a Leadership meeting that took two hours. If you ask what I learned, the answer is simple: nothing. Everyone pretty much thought that this field trip was a waste of time. Not completely, but pretty much so. I could've taken advantage of Advanced Photoshop. But oh well. We had a good discussion on the bus about schools and stuff. Some of us are planning on starting a petition for more strict rules and more severe consequences on problematic students. It's a great idea, I think.
Friday was also our Homecoming. We lost. But it was pretty fun, I think. Kandice won Homecoming Queen! Yay!
Color Guard effed up majorly on the field. We were probably the only ones who noticed too because no else said anything. I was pretty pissed though, because we had practiced it so many times and it was our last time to shine in front of the school. I was most worried about one person.
I ended up giving Steven a nice hug. I was on the floor and he was standing on a bleacher so my head came up to his belly and he had to bend down to hug me. -sigh-
Saturday. I think that was the best day ever. Mainly because Techoir was right there with top choirs. And we showed everyone that Tech isn't mediocre, as some New Palestine students expected of us; they were the ones who sucked.
Then Into the Woods. Ms. D told me that it was not the best musical for someone's first live musical. Me! Yeah, just a small observation: pretty much all the guys were gay!
Ms. D took me home after the musical. And I finally got to meet both of her high school daughters. They are pretty funny, I think. I'd like to get to know them more. Apparently Ms. D tells them about me. That's nice :)
Sunday: Church.
Whatever. Same stuff. We watched The Happening. It was a pretty cool movie, I think. Watch it, don't buy it though, because it's not that great. Do get it for a dollar at one of those RedBox things at McDonald's.
I woke up cold this morning. So I put on my fake-fur. It was so warm!
I apparently had an essay due today in U.S. History. About what? I don't know. Random, unnecessary shit. Stupid Ms. Frank.
I have MLK's speech due tomorrow. I still don't know it. Oh well.
Japanese is still fun.
I don't know what else to say today, except that I'm still confused about Steven, I just want to ask him. In my head I do, and it all comes out the way I want it. I fear rejection, that's the thing. I want to tell him "If you like me say so. If you don't, stop acting like you do."
He grabbed my ass on Saturday, after the whole choir thing. So I don't know whether to take those as signs or not. And he winked at me today and I found him staring at me and he tried to pick me up while I was picking Joey up. I'm so confused. And I'm lousy, and scared. I don't know.
I wonder if he does like Lerron. Someone told me that Steven had said that they were just friends. Lerron knows I like Steven, and Lerron still talks to me like I don't see them both hanging around. I hope they are just friends, otherwise I will feel miserable. IDK.

I wonder if he does like Lerron. Someone told me that Steven had said that they were just friends. Lerron knows I like Steven, and Lerron still talks to me like I don't see them both hanging around. I hope they are just friends, otherwise I will feel miserable. IDK.

New Look
Spirit Beads arrived today! We are selling them three for $2. All three school colors: red, green, and silver (white). Pretty cool, huh? Ms. Jesse let us wear them around for advertising purposes. Tomorrow is the day! I've been waiting for it, I hope we don't eff up in the middle of the show. That would just suck.
Did I mention Ms. Frank is back again? And she's still wearing them heels that she still hasn't learned to walk on? It's annoying. She also snatched my newspaper out of my friend's hands just so she could make a copy of an election article. What the eff!? She tries to be cute I guess. Stupid is more like it.
She had us reading a poem today about W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington. Stupid. I read the section and it's so much better than her shit. I want our sub back.
In English we watched Raisin in the Sun. It's a pretty good movie, and now I want to read the book. I get tired of hearing about slavery a lot. I don't know. But I do know one thing: Martin Luther King didn't fight to have all these African Americans ruining their image. I just hate ghetto people. And seeing how most ghetto people are black. I just hate it. I don't know. It's not necessary.
Nothing much during fourth period, my peer tutor period. Kids keep messing with me, but it's fun. A cute dude calls me George. Another cute, Mexican, calls me Immigrant. It's so funny. He also calls me "she" and girl stuff. He was the one who wanted to ask me if I was gay or not, but he chickened out. No huggie from Josh in class. He's too busy reading his little Insane Clown Posse book. It's fine with me.
Then music, I walked in just in time to start singing Number 7. I pretty much sucked at that one. The others ones I was fine. I think the other basses are relying on me, and I rely on Isaac and Peter. I really shouldn't. So today I took it as a test. I managed. I did mess up though, and the other basses were right behind me too. Oh well, I know how to fix them.
Then I went down to see Ms. Jesse in the cafeteria so I could start selling the beads. I don't know how much money we made, but I saw her envelope, and it was fat! Yay for cool fundraisers!
Then Links and Penny Wars appeared too so I got stuck working both of them. Fine with me. Good thing I avoided Elijah today; he follows me everywhere. Not cool. I don't really like him much either.
Since Ms. H needed people to count money for the Pep Rally, April and I decided not to go to Japanese. I didn't realize until later that Sensei wasn't at school today and we were only going to watch Japanese anime. ^^ Pretty much Seniors won in both links and money. As they should.
Luckily, for SMOGEE people, the Pep Rally was postponed for Friday due to immaturity from stupid high school kids. Means I'll be there for my last Pep Rally!
I thought our third day at Shortridge sucked. Mainly because Ms. Sharp, the teacher, has issues, and she always wants things to be done her way. Stupid, she took ten minutes out of our lesson just to fix people around. No one likes her, and when she talks to you, she really isn't. She is looking behind you, not your eyes. It annoys me. I kind of want to go "I'm right here!" And get all up in her face.
I did see an eighth-grader that I met last year during my Junior SMOGEE. He's cool. His name is Dylan, and he's hella cute too. I wish he was in high school. He's adding me on Myspace. Again.
So on our way back to school, we SMOGEE kids talked about Ms. Sharp like it was our job! Yeah, fun!
I finally got my clothes out of my locker and wore my tennis shoes for band. My feet were still hurting, but the pain was less than with dress shoes on. Band is awesome. I think.
We had an audience during rehearsal because the Bonfire was going on almost at the same time. I saw peeps! ^^ I think I am a little in love with Emily Lucas. I realized that my Sophomore year. I love her. She's awesome and smart.
I came home and worked on Japanese homework. Yay for Japanese!

OMG it's Friday
I skipped yesterday's entry, mainly because my dad was in one of his usual let's-do-something moods. He's always like that, always wanting to do something, fix something, change something, clean something. It's kind of annoying, because he drags everyone along.
So yesterday, after he had picked us up from school, we had dinner and then did some homework. It was 8:30 at night and he decided to clean the house. I was so tired, but I can't argue because he'd get mad at me and privileges would get revoked.
I ended up dusting my room though, and now, I can actually breathe in there. It's not that it was dirty, but I never go in there unless it's time to sleep so I never move anything around but my book and glasses. So everything gathers dust.
I can't remember much of yesterday either. I do know the Technicians are performing at the zoo for Christmas at the Zoo. It will be awesome, I think. I can't wait.
And I fully understand Ms. H and her Spirit Week speech. I truly believe it.
Let's see, ummm, my U.S. History teacher, Ms. Frank, is still not here. Wow, those were a lot of commas. Anyway, if she doesn't show up on Monday, our sub will be back. And I hope our sub comes back because I learn more with her than with Frank.
Our Japanese test today was pretty difficult. I got a 9.8. Apies got a 9. I think we need more time learning the vocabulary she is giving us.
Ms. Brown wasn't here today, so we didn't have Techoir at all. Two students took advantage of this and still stayed after and talked. At least that's what I saw. And that's what I want it to be. I'm giving up. I don't know what to do. I wasted time by not telling him. Now he's making his move. I think I'm a fool.
Band is looking effing awesome though. I hope we do well tomorrow. I'm going to try and take lots of pictures for my scrapbook/facebook.
I love my friends. Thanks for keeping me going. I haven't cried today, yet. I'll try to be strong. But I feel depression a-comin'.

New shoes!
I just kind of got back from Wal-Mart having bought a new pair of dress shoes. They are pretty nice and I love them.
I really do love to dress up. I love black dress pants and long-sleeved shirts. I love to roll my sleeves though. I also love scarves. But it sucks that I only have two. I need more. That should be my Christmas and birthday wishlist. Really. Scarves.
Anyways, the shoes were almost $30. And they are for Technician shoes. If I take good care of them, I might wear them to school every other day.
I was surprised when I checked peoples' blogs and found them with old entries. I wanted to read interesting stuff. Oh well.
Right now I am pretty upset at myself for not updating my blog as much as I wanted to. I was doing so good this month, and then it got to the weekend, which was fun. Let me tell you about that.
Saturday, of course, was Techoir workday. I woke up at like 6:30 to pick my outfit out and do my hair. I decided between three hair styles and picked a faux-hawk. Everyone loved it! I feel good about it. I just want to know Steven's opinion on it.
Techoir turned out pretty good. I loved Kaleem's "Human Xylophone" It was sooo funny.
It was also my last Techoir workday. And I don't think I took enough pictures. Actually, I didn't take any pictures. I blame that on Ms. Brown for working us so hard.
I still remember last year when Isaac came crying into the room. His doggie. It's been a year.
Then to Angie's get-together. Pretty cool. Fazoli's. I got the Chicken Fruit Salad. It was awesome. It was also my first time in that restaurant.
Jesi had to leave for work, and April had to take Jake home. So only Isaac, Hilary, Austin, Angie, Audrey and I went to Wal-Mart. Pretty cool. Not Isaac's tires though. They were pretty much dead.
So we let it, the tire-problem, go and decided to go into Wal-Mart. We looked around the Halloween costume section, craft section, ladies underwear section, and more. Only Audrey bought stuff: two things of bubbles and Fiddler on the Roof. I just bought a pack of gum. I love gum. It's for singing purposes.
After that, we had decided to go to the Movies. The cheapy ones. But the movie we wanted to watch started at 1o p.m. And not everyone wanted to stay until 11:30 out in the middle of the night. So we came to my house. We watched Simpsons. I hope I made a good impression with my house. I'm just kind of sad that Audrey didn't come with us; she had to leave because she was tired. It's understandable. And she also wanted to talk to Casey.
I made two things of Boy Scout popcorn.
Then Sunday. I can't remember much of Sunday, except that our choir director didn't go so we were stuck with ourselves. Luckily, our guitarist, who doesn't speak very much Spanish, became our leader. Since, also, the soloist didn't go, my brother and I sang the Psalm. It turned out okay.
The whole choir wasn't that bad actually. And after mass, the congregation shared a meal in the Parish Hall.
This is when my mind goes fuzzy. Because I can't remember much else. Except that we went to Cici's for lunch/dinner.
Today was okay. I wore my hair in a faux-hawk again because Josh told me to in my agenda. I got more compliments.
People were supposed to stay after to make a banner for The Cannon. Turns out only KiKi and I stayed. She drew it out and I helped color it. It's not done. But it's getting there. Angie is pitching in by making letters so we can glue them on the banner. I like it.
Then Band. We kind of got yelled at. I think it was mainly color guard who didn't know their stuff. I know I didn't. But then again, Baldwin only called out the brass. Hey!
My feet still hurt a little.
Technicians show tomorrow! I'll take pictures with peeps.

Friday, October 3
I can't remember
"Will you go out with me?" I asked him.
"Yes," he said. He then kissed me.
Then I woke up. Deduce your own conclusions on who it was. It's not that hard. Think: who have I been talking about for ages?
Today was Angie's birthday. She's legal now! I called her 6:21 a.m. to wish her a Happy Birthday. I knew she was awake. And I just couldn't wait to wish her a happy birthday. Happy Birthday Angie!
Allright. I'm just going to highlight some special moments of the day. Actually, pretty much everything.
Don't get bored. It isn't boring.
Journalism. I spent time looking up phone numbers and e-mail addresses for colleges so I can inquire about their acceptance to undocumented students. I made sure to include the ones I personally want to apply to.
U.S. History. Nothing much. Today, slackers finished their 47 question test. I was the first one to finish yesterday and I did well. I think.
English. Whoops. Didn't go. I went to that Jerry Rice meeting. Someone had to explain to me who he was. He was funny. But he didn't talk for much time. I was going to take notes on him and quote him for a newspaper story, but it wasn't worth it.
I was supposed to have met April outside of the Forum so we could both go in together and talk or whatever. But she never showed up, it wasn't until later when I found out the shocking truth. Badass.
ICP/Peer Tutor. The class watched a movie so I spent some quality time talking to my friend Summer about random stuff and reading A Lesson Before Dying. It's actually pretty good.
Music. I was greeted with hugs. And then Steven went and hugged me and Joey together. I freaking love the guy. Then Joey and I spent some quality time talking. It was quite fun. I freaking love the girl. Everyone else was watching The Wedding Planner. I've seen it before.
Then we worked on some Christmas songs.
Then during those extra minutes I spend up in the music hall, Ms. D. told me about April being suspended. It really was quite shocking. At first I didn't understand why, but then she said she got caught in a Hall Sweep.
Stupid. Not April. But rather the fact of suspending people early in the morning after having probably just arrived at school.
Stupid.
Lunch. I was pretty miserable because April wasn't there. So I distracted myself by watching other tables being dumb and immature.
Japanese. I walked there alone. But I cheered myself up by holding the door open for Brockelle and Liz.
The quiz was a bit hard. The translation part was. I didn't even write cat right. I feel dumb. I got a 9.8 though (out of 10).
I had totally forgotten about that quiz. It wasn't until I was walking towards Japanese that I remembered. Everyone thought they could've done better.
Adv. Env. Science/SMOGEE. One of the IUPUI teachers went there; Jenny. She's so cute and nice. We talked about our plans on how we are teaching our subjects to the seventh-graders. Now the problem will be getting to and forth. IPS is stupid.
They want us to wait at Shortridge an hour after school ends to come back to Tech. What are we supposed to do that full hour? I have after-school activities to attend to.
After-school-much. I wanted to stay for Ms. Meyer's Orchestra class but she told me to go ahead and go to Techoir and she was going to talk to Ms. Brown about it to let me go to her class every other day during 5th. I want to play violin and bass. I think I mentioned this in my last entry.
Techoir was okay.
Came home. Did some homework. And we left off for haircuts. Yay!
I loved this part of my day.
The guy who cut my hair really took care of me and made me look good.
At first I told him I had gel on since this morning so he decided to rinse it out. It felt so good. Warm water. Him washing my hair. It felt great.
Then he put a towel on my head and led me back to my seat.
Asked me what I wanted. I told him I wanted the Number 2 on the sides and scissors on top. And if he could leave half of the bangs alone and enough hair on top to do a fo-hawk. And he did. He did a great job too. He kept messing with my hair too.
Then he asked me if I wanted him to shave in between my eyebrows (my uni brow). I said sure. And he did. Then, without asking me, he lifted my head up and started going away at my mustache. It looks better now.
"It's more defined," he said.
So I feel great now.
I feel bad that I didn't leave a tip, but then again, it wasn't my money.
I loved him for taking good care of me and fixing me up.
I think I'll wear a fo-hawk tomorrow for Techoir.
"Yes," he said. He then kissed me.

Owaranai Uta
YouTube it. It's great. At least I think so.
April called me a few minutes ago. ^^ Third call! Ehl-oh-ehl April. She's now watching the presidential debate. So's Audrey. And probably more people too. I probably should be watching it too. But I'm not.
I should be studying for my Japanese quiz tomorrow. Which is going to be freaking long!
We learned so many vocabulary words it's not even funny.
So I arrived at Tech cold and ready for a long journalism period. To my surprise, Ms. Jesse wasn't there. So we ended up not doing anything. I had my permission slip, to go to Franklin College, ready to turn in but I still have it. I also have the Media Pass she gave me on Wednesday. I hope it's nothing bad.
I did some reading though, and talked to a few people.
I also have stuff ready for tomorrow: I'm calling different colleges to ask whether undocumented students are eligible for admission or not. Should benefit me too.
I took my U.S. History test, and as I predicted, it was easy. Most of the questions are repeated almost three times each, but every time, they are worded differently. That's kind of stupid, but it kind of helps me check my answers.
Ms. Frank might be back this Monday. But I rather her stay home and take another long break. I am actually learning stuff with a teacher who is not even licensed to teach any history.
I can't remember what we did in English today. . . Oh yeah. An essay on our personal hopes and dreams. Done. That class is pretty lame. And I hate almost everyone in there for being loud, obnoxious and irresponsible. Immature can also be used to describe them all.
I have MLK's speech due tomorrow so I'm just not going; I'm going to that meeting in the forum for Diploma Plus kids with Kick-Off Mentors as party-crashers. Kind of.
Fourth period turned out to be interesting. Three kids were this close -puts index finger and thumb almost touching- to asking me if I was gay. At least that's what I thought they were going to ask. They didn't though. No one wanted to ask me after they had called me over.
Whatever!
Music, yay. I think I was actually singing louder than I ever had during Techoir. We're also doing Patapan. ^^ Have I mentioned Number 6 sounds awesome on the CD? I hope we sound as great. I just hate the solo. I wonder who's doing it anyways. For Techoir, I mean.
Lunch! Also a word equivalent to a hectic, immature, rude, nasty, idiotic crowd. People just need to grow up and start being more responsible. I still can't stand how black people can get away with stuff just because they think they are better than everyone.
There was also a fight during my lunch. And of course, everyone rushed to see it from up close.
R-Jay was hit with a juice and it ended up spilling on his ROTC uniform.
I hate stupid people.
Japanese. Yay. -.- We all got copious amounts of homework that is due Monday. Some of that stuff is hard too, but I love it. This new textbook is more didactic than the other one was. And we read paragraphs in Japanese and answer questions about them. I love it. I want to steal some of those books so bad! I should just go to eBay and look them up. Someone told me they bought a school book for $10 on eBay.
Environmental Science challenges me every day. Stupid college-level thinking questions. Well, it is advanced. But it's still fun.
My friends Kattie and Summer have so drama going on between them. It's too much. And I don't want to get involved. I've known them both since 7th grade. I love them. But they need to handle their own problems.
Mrs. Meyer is starting her after-school Orchestra class tomorrow. I hope Ms. Brown lets me go. I don't even want to ask her though. I might just go straight to Ms. Meyer so she can talk to Ms. Brown. I don't think they have a B-H relationship. I hope not.
I want to learn how to play the violin and bass. Soprano. Bass. Tee-hee.
I love Isaac. He made me smile today. I would do anything to see him happy all the time.
Band is still fun.
I need to work on Johann Sebastian Bach's Prelude if I want to ask Ms. Brown if April and I can do it for Techoir's Spring Concert.
April called me a few minutes ago. ^^ Third call! Ehl-oh-ehl April. She's now watching the presidential debate. So's Audrey. And probably more people too. I probably should be watching it too. But I'm not.
I should be studying for my Japanese quiz tomorrow. Which is going to be freaking long!
We learned so many vocabulary words it's not even funny.
So I arrived at Tech cold and ready for a long journalism period. To my surprise, Ms. Jesse wasn't there. So we ended up not doing anything. I had my permission slip, to go to Franklin College, ready to turn in but I still have it. I also have the Media Pass she gave me on Wednesday. I hope it's nothing bad.
I did some reading though, and talked to a few people.
I also have stuff ready for tomorrow: I'm calling different colleges to ask whether undocumented students are eligible for admission or not. Should benefit me too.
I took my U.S. History test, and as I predicted, it was easy. Most of the questions are repeated almost three times each, but every time, they are worded differently. That's kind of stupid, but it kind of helps me check my answers.
Ms. Frank might be back this Monday. But I rather her stay home and take another long break. I am actually learning stuff with a teacher who is not even licensed to teach any history.
I can't remember what we did in English today. . . Oh yeah. An essay on our personal hopes and dreams. Done. That class is pretty lame. And I hate almost everyone in there for being loud, obnoxious and irresponsible. Immature can also be used to describe them all.
I have MLK's speech due tomorrow so I'm just not going; I'm going to that meeting in the forum for Diploma Plus kids with Kick-Off Mentors as party-crashers. Kind of.
Fourth period turned out to be interesting. Three kids were this close -puts index finger and thumb almost touching- to asking me if I was gay. At least that's what I thought they were going to ask. They didn't though. No one wanted to ask me after they had called me over.
Whatever!

I Have a Dream
I have to memorize MLK's speech before Friday! For a grade! I get double points if I do it right the first time, and also, I might get ten dollars from my teachers.
It's not that hard, I already have more than half of it memorized, but it is time-consuming.
I just got done checking Facebook. I read Steven's note. I think he needs a big hug. That's what I'll give him tomorrow morning. Along with a short note. I sympathize with him because this is pretty much how I feel most of the time. I didn't want to put a comment on his note though, because he's already got advice, and it's good advice. I'll just what I'm planning on doing tomorrow. I do hope he understands me. And I hope I don't chicken out either.
I feel bad today, because he went up to me while I was talking to someone else, and I kind of ignored him. And then he left. I should've done something. Hugged him. I don't know. I feel like a bad friend.
On to a more cheery subject, kind of.
Since I'm working on an "Illegal Immigration at Tech" story, I need to research immigration laws, citizenship procedures and stuff like that. It's going to be a big story and it might not be ready for this upcoming issue. So it kind of sucks, I do have a "List of Clubs" that I put together. It might not have my name, but deep down I'll know it was I who made it!
The Cannon might gather on Oct. 7th to celebrate our hard work.
Ms. Jesse used the title "Editor in Chief" for me! That's my new title!

I don't think I got a single hug today from Josh. It's okay though. I don't want him to get sick of me. I did help a lot though, and I was helping in both English and Spanish, so my brain was all "quat?" Think about it.
Music was okay, I used this time to be all up on Joey's neck. It just smelled so good. I just don't think the boyfriend appreciated me being all over her. I might see his reaction tomorrow during Techoir.
Tomorrow! Techoir! Announcing of the musical! Yay!
Japanese-much. Sensei was talking to us about the toilets they use in Japan; you have to squat on the ground to get "stuff" in there. And there is no toilet paper, instead, there's a jet of water going at like 100 mph up your you-know-what. Not really that fast, but you get my drift. The class thought it was funny. The class, of course, consisting of only four people. We're awesome though.
Science, again, working on test questions.
Band was okie-dokie. We worked on charts. I just hope we can work on the drill tomorrow so the color guard can show off!
I love seeing my "mentee" Every time he sees me he has on this radiant smile, and he brings up his right arm to salute me from far away. It's cute. He's cute. He's a sophomore. From El Salvador. Guillermo Garcia. I love his hair. He has a fo-hawk.
Also, today I finally finished Dean Koontz's One Door Away From Heaven. I really enjoyed it!
Now I'm going to read A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gainese. It's also from Oprah's Book Club.
Message to Steven: I love you.

Depression sucks
OMG, I was just in the Honesty Box application and Shelby's box came up. I told her I loved her and I missed her, and right now, I am about to cry. Depression comes and goes like seasons for me. I think it's because I'm really stressed out.
My love life isn't better. I just wish I had the courage to go up to him and just tell him.
-sigh-
We passed out newspapers first period. I got the cafeteria so I went over there and the door was locked. I started knocing on the door but no one answered. I moved on to the other door and knocked on it again. Then I stopped and pulled on it; it opened. I felt so stupid.
It was really cold too. Yay for Autumn. I want pictures with him so bad.
I didn't have much to do in US History because I was ahead of everyone and only had one quiz to do. I'm pretty sure I did well on it.
I turned in my English poster in today too. It was pretty lame, but then again, nobody's was "OMG!"
Fourth was me sitting in ICP by myself. My friend Summer, fellow peer tutor, wasn't there so I just read. Josh did go and talk to me though. And I got huggies from him.
Music was okay. I was pretty much the only bass. Not really, but then again yeah. And I kept messing up. It looks bad on me because people can tell I'm not a great singer. It sucks. I got to see the person I wanted to see though. I wish we could hang out more often.
Roger, Elijah, Omar, April and I sang Ave Maria during lunch. It sounded great but we just needed an alto. We attempted to do Jericho but it didn't work out too well.
A fight broke out afterwards.
There's a fight every other day, so it's normal.
Sensei was at school today so we took our quiz. I got a 9, I think. Not too bad, but not my favorite either. I could've done better had I studied more.
I just have no time!
Adv. Env. Science was meh.
Techoir was kind of fun. I messed around a little with people. It was fun.
Color guard was also loads of fun. I think we learned a fair amount of stuff but we definitely could've learned more. I love Jess. She's awesome.
Wendy's after that! I love us. I didn't even take pictures! What's wrong with me.
You know that feeling when you are like real sad and upset and just want to cry? And you feel like a knot down your throat? That's me right now.
I usually cry when I'm in the shower and blame my red eyes on soap.

Lip Still A Little Broken
I think today was pretty okay for me. There are a few things I'd like to talk more about though, such as why I'm not a "bad" student.
I realized this while I was sitting in US History waiting for my teacher to pass out the section quiz. One of the girls in the back started talking loudly and so the teacher called on her and asked her to be quiet. She just smiled and hushed.
I asked myself what I would've done in her place: cry. I'm one of the persons who doesn't like to disappoint people who expect great things of one. Which is pretty much why I think I'm not a "bad" boy.
That was just a random note that I decided was good to write about.
After that I can't remember much, but I do remember fifth period. Applied Music (Ha!).
Then the after school Technician rehearsal. We went to the foyer in Stuart Hall. It sounded amazing! I wanted to cry when we were singing Ave Maria. Some teacher even stopped by to listen and gave us a thumbs up telling us we sounded great. Thanks, we know. It was pretty hot in there though, and for some reason I kept being molested by both girls and guys. Just thought I'd add that here. Because it did happen.
Can't wait for All City Rehearsal! (T.T -.- v.v;;)

lame - pretty
Today was not the day for many at Tech High School.
Today Mr. Dinkens started handing out money for questions being answered. It's a good motivator but not really.
New officers in Techoir too. Kaleem and Tesia are both Co-Presidents. Most of us don't agree with this but unfortunately we have to live with it. I was voted Secretary! I am really excited. Taking attendance should be easy though. Audrey is the treasurer! She deserved something better. I didn't really wanted to be anything but I was voted it. I seem to be popular too. That's kind of nice.
OMG! SMOGEE! Ms. Solchik had told us to read chapter 12 today but she had to leave to get something fixed on her computer or whatever so we all just listened to Monique read a dirty book. It is ghetto! It was funny though. It was our secret Book Club. We might even start a real one actually!
Oh, during lunch, Kattie had said something funny and Summer was drinking juice so as soon as she heard it she started choking and the juice started coming out of her nose. It was funny, but I felt bad for her because there was no way we could've helped. We just sat there and watched.
Technicians was meh. But I'm in the first row! Audrey and I are ones for We Go Together. Awesome!
Oh em gee! Marching band is coolio. I just wish we can start learning more stuff sooner. I am also supposed to lift Kimberly during the first eight counts of the first song which is pretty cool if we both do it correctly. We had to do it three times because the first time we missed coming in and the second time I grabbed her boob instead of her waist. As soon as I felt that I let go and put her down. I'm just not used to that!
Pretty funny though. Mr. Baldwin said my brother and I needed to get on steroids and all the girls to start being bulimic. Sounds fair to me!
April's silly self didn't go to school so I didn't take pictures of friends; I refuse to start without April.
