Sophomore year part TWO

I love Christmas break, and am very sad, obviously, that it's over. But there is a good thing that comes with the end of winter break-- the second half of the year. Winter break's over..the next big break we have in school is spring break, and then summer!! Yes, we have a few days off here and there, but when it comes to actual WEEKS off school...that's where we stand. Only one more til summer.

I love learning and I love school, but at East, it almost seems like learning and going to school are two different things. I've already written posts about that so I won't keep going on about it. The point I would like to make, however, is that I don't want to get out of school so I can...simply be out of school. I want to fulfill my requirements at the end of junior year and take Madrigals, Ac'cepella (sp?), AP Literature, Productions, and the rest of my classes up at the U senior year. If I didn't care about throwing away a whole year of leads in productions I wouldn't even stick around East at all. I'm on track to graduate early, but doing so seems stupid when senior year is the most likely chance I'll have to be leads in shows, and to be a leader in musical groups.

I'm helping Clayton Middle School with their show, "Peter Pan", which always helps time go by extremely fast for me--so that will be good. I also have Take 5 coming up, and "school" to keep me busy. Time still seems to go by so slowly. Do you think I'll ever get out of high school? I'm not trying to wish my life away, but I can't stand the ridiculous things that go on in highschool and people say "Oh..well they're in highschool...they'll learn sooner or later." *sigh*...whatever. Haha, sorry, this turned into a sort of complainey post.

*~*~*~UPDATES~*~*~*

-Winter break was amazing! Even though I was flat in bed for the first week because I was so sick, the second week made up for it! My family came in town and we had a late Christmas celebration on Monday! I got a cell phone and COWBOY BOOTS!!!!! :D

I don't know if anyone could tell, but I'm a wee bit excited about these beauties ;)

-On Tuesday I went on my first date which was a blast. We went to Cafe Rio and watched Nacho Libre and played guitar and talked. Just sat and talked. It was so much fun! When we played guitar for eachother, he played a song called "Waiting on an Angel" by Ben Harper. I'd never heard it before and loved it. He played a bunch of other songs too--they were all great!! But...I don't even really remember what they were! Haha, I just LOVED "Waiting on an Angel"

-My family and I have a small addiction to the T.V. show LOST. ..We watched about 6 and a half hours of season 4 on Wednesday. That's a little embarrassing..

-Eagle Eye is a GREAT movie! We watched it last night and loved it! I love movies (and T.V. shows) that make you think and keep you wondering what's going to happen next! Eagle Eye does that to the extreme! If you haven't seen it...do! The language is somewhat bothersome at certian parts, but the movie as a whole is great! Very intense!

Well, I think that about does it for me today.. I have church soon. Haha, peace out chubs!
