Blah!! Bad Sarah..

[transomwhiplass]

Oh my gosh.. I don't know what's wrong with me. I barely ever post and that makes me sad. Now I will forget all these abysmal moments in my adolescent career, ahhhhhh woe is me that I shall not be able to wallow in the sorrow that is my life. Haha. Maybe it's a good thing that I haven't posted.

Anyway, things are in an upswing and I'm feeling better and happier than I have in a while. Oh, let me count the reasons for my glee.

1. Took mental health day yesterday. Symptoms: Headache (school is making me insane, I should have a headache), random pains (ah.. so true, siblings, school, etc.), and overall soreness and tiredness. Nothing a lie, all very true. Basically my mind forced a self pity cold. It was a good day and I went to school to do my NHS hours. Yay for eager beaver-ity.

2. I like English now. I got an A on the paper she was grading which she commented at one point as "having not had an A yet." I got a 91, mostly due to my craptastic technical grade. She counted the content twice so that was absolutely grade (97 there). IT'S AN A ON A TALLMAN PAPER AND I BEAT MEGAN W. (you know how I have to grade myself against people I declare genius', haha.. how sad am I). Then, I was the only person in my section to get an 8 on the practice AP essay. I rock, and Laura congratulated me.. she is a nice person.. moving on.

3. This morning I had 10 pages to read of Catch-22 before a potential quiz, then I found out we could retake 1. Had not studied, very much freaking. Poor Ms. Tallman got sick and left, open lab v. good for catching up. Laura approached me in the hall about some "deal" she had for me. I got to open lab with my favorite people from my English class (the most tolerable). Laura wants to conspire to be co-editors in chief of the paper. This is good on several levels: a) She is my largest competition & #1 rival. b) We are so good(haha.. that is so egotistical) there is a practically non-existent margin that we won't be picked. c) She recognizes my skills and saw me as a worthy opponent, she chose me out of the other girls. This pleases me. She finds me intelligent and I like people who think I am smart. d) Laura is one curse of an opponent but a godsend of an ally. She is so domineering, outgoing, and just.. totally awe casting in her extrovertedness that she makes up my extreme lack. However, she tends to start waving her stick of threats before she thinks. She put it "You tell me what to argue and I will argue it." I'm excited. This will be good if it works out.

4. I am on Ms. Babcocks goody goody list today cos' my dad gave me a Super 8 projector to give her. She was making requests in the newsletter. I'm first, I'm good. Oh yeah. ^.~

5. I have found a probable path. I'm seriously considering architecture. I've always had an interest in it, it's like my earliest serious career prospect I can remember. I know that I want to do something combining art and academics, just in case I have to fall back on one or find relief. I'm pretty good at math and I can draw ok (though taking Drawing 1 next year, Ms. Costa is like some kind of miracle worker and I love that woman, she is soooooo sweet). I'm highly interested in Rice, though I'm having serious doubts. They have an excellent.. top notch architecture program, but, you need top notch SAT scores (especially math) to even try to qualify. That would be a total dream right now.

6. School stuff is going better. Yesterday gave me sometime to regain some sanity and I'm no longer convinced everyone is out to get me.

7. I'm taking a very keen interest to Catch-22. The characters are so dysfunctional but all oddly lovable for their many quirks. V. unlike The Great Gatsby where you wish you could jump into the pages and violently murder the characters because they are all very annoying stuck up socialites who all have it coming.

8. I'm enjoying my trampoline v. much. I got it at the auction (forgot if I mentioned it). It is mofo huge but it is so fun. I have to finish setting it up this weekend.

9. Tomorrow is Friday. Oh yeah.

10. Instead of being all "OH MY GOD.. I HATE THAT PERSON" its been "AWWWWW I LOVE HER... SHE IS SO GREAT." Yesterday my non-romantic love, sheer awe and wonder person was Megan Derrick. She was so funny during student registration. I always have several classes with her and she has always been fantastically nice to me. I got stuck filing all the rising freshmen's folders and everytime she delivered one she thanked me and asked how I was doing and felt bad I was stuck with it. Today it was Laura, haha.. how many people thought she would nab that. Anyyyyyyywayyyyyy... I should come up with a better name, like Sarah's Tappman Award. Don't bother if you haven't read the first page of Catch 22. Haw Haw Haw Guffaw. I have to cover him and anabaptism for the class... aaaargh I can hardly contain my excitement. Ehhhh... well it could be much worse.

Ok.. that is enough of an update for right now. I just realized I have a semi-big mofo problem. I have some homework left, but I also have another practice AP essay. Argh.... I hate living up to myself, now I won't be able to accept anything less without horrible disappointment in myself. Aw, Crap.
