odd things are odd

i did alright on my music test. its still a crappy 78% compared to my marks in other classes, but i just wanna learn in guitar class. im not looking to get 90 or something insane. i just wanna do well. if 78 is my best, then im fine with that. i still wanna bring it up though... old habits die hard, i guess.

i have a whole bunch of homework to do. annoying math, and some tedious english questions. also, i have a ton of history worksheets to do, since i wasnt at school on fri when everybody did like 5 worksheets. ugh. at least staceys letting me look off hers. what?? its only for two worksheets. besides, if the internet sites were working properly, then i wouldnt have wasted time trying to do those worksheets. meh.

i talked to my tech teacher from last year. shes also the yearbook teacher at our school. she told me about the yearbook program that is at the school im attending next year. its weird - yearbook is every other morning from like 7:45 - 9:00 or something. so its the same length of time as any other class, but its before school. i expected that for second semester, but not for the entire year. i also get two credits for the course. yay! but does that mean that i will have a spare next year? i mean, if im taking 8 classes, but one of them is before school, then what do i have during the period that i would normally take the eighth class? hmm...ill hafta ask about that.

many of my friends are asking why i decided to take yearbook. well, i guess i want to be fairly well-rounded, keep options open, etc. i dont know what i wanna do after high school, so i figure that if i take a lot of different courses, that i wont be royally screwed when i apply to universities or something. i also dont know what type of writing i want to do. im hoping that if i try a bunch of artsy-englishy credits, then i might come across something that im interested in actually pursuing.

or maybe not.

if i end up hating it, at least i get 2 credits out of the deal, so i can have a spare in gr 12, or maybe do co-op or peer-helping, or maybe just be able to take extra courses that i wouldnt have had the opporitunity to take if i was still struggling to get enough credits or something. meh. school is funny like that.

hmm..today was odd. graham kept calling strange things from the back of the classroom in math. things like egg! ehhhhhhhhgg! and oh my god! OH MY PRECIOUS GOD! good ol' graham. in english class, our teacher kept asking us questions about scenes that we hadnt read yet, in romeo and juliet. people who read it aloud had trouble pronouncing easy words such as palace, but had no problem with words such as crav'st. man, people are odd.

so i must go off and do homework now. ugh. so very ugh. then comes riding in the bitter, bitter cold. grr canadian weather. the end of january was so warm, as was the beginning of february. now the great outdoors are cold and windy and dismal. ever so dismal..except for that bloody sun that shines in my window every morning at like 6:45am to wake me up. bloody sun. it should shine during the day, when its supposed to. (to the sun) way to tell time, no time-tell. thats right.

man..this is another long entry. i didnt mean it to be. meh. too late now. (ignores the delete key)

o yah...graham thinks that i get pissed when jeff steals my guitar. graham offered to sack jeff today, or at least to call him names and throw things at him or something. thats not good. the hurting of jeff, and the graham sticking up for me. i mean, yay with the sticking up for me business, but not when im not wanting to fight. (shrugs) guys are weird.

girls are weirder.
