Long Week, Long Day

This week has been a long one. The grading period ends next wednesday, so lots of my classes have been trying to squeeze in one final test to go on the grades. I know you guys probably won't believe me, but I'm turning into more and more of a slacker. And the true culprit is music. I come home everyday, grab food, and go straight to the piano, my violin, or guitar. Then I alternate between the three for the next couple of hours. Around six I realized that I probably should've done my homework first, and should now start on it, but I won't want to. Instead I'll spend time eating, watch one or two episodes of Bones (which I've discovered I can't do homework during Bones, not sure why, but I've given up trying), and then around nine resignedly go upstairs to start work. At this point, I conclude that I'm tired and it would be better off for me to just sleep. I don't know how this started, but I can't seem to fix it. Everyday I say I'm going to start homework before music, and then as soon as I come home, I grab food and walk up to the guitar, surprisingly not feeling that guilty. Ah well, good thing I'm a senior. Although, I hope I don't get too caught up in this slacking thing and risk my rank. Because I know there's this one really smart guy who's in a zillion AP classes and I think he's moved up to number 2, but I'm not positive. Woah, sorry to bore you guys with my school life, moving on.

I just finished taking my SAT Subject Tests this morning. I took Math 2 and Spanish. I feel fairly confident about the Math 2 (especially in comparison to the last time I took it). The way it is scored allows for you to skip 6 and still get a perfect score, and I skipped 5. I'm proud of myself, because usually when I take these and see one I don't know, I have to figure it out before I can move on (resulting in me ultimately running out of time), but this time if I didn't remember how to start it right away, I put a dot by it and moved on. Its a really good thing I did, because I was still working on the last problem when the time was called. I'd only skipped four prior to that, so overall skipped five. If I had stopped on those problems, the outcome wouldn't have been so great. For the Spanish one, I really knew nothing about it going into it. But it wasn't really that bad. It started out incredibly simple. It got somewhat harder, and there were a few I wasn't sure about, but I still think I did fairly well. Hopefully. Its harder to tell on Spanish then math. With math, you either know how to do it or you don't.

In around twenty minutes I have to leave to go to a violin concert. I basically have to go to this one because I missed the last one (which was an all-weekend thing, so I think I definitely chose right). Not really looking forward to it, mainly review pieces from a long time ago, but oh well. I'm staying content because tonight I'm going to Andrew Bird. I'm very excited, Kelsey and I are going together. Tomorrow we're making our homecoming shirts, which is always really fun. Then I'll babysit again. So basically, it's a Kelsey-filled weekend, which I have no problem with. I never get sick of her.

I'm looking forward to Homecoming week, especially since its my last one. Monday is Woodstock day, which should be exciting and Tuesday is Nerd day, which will be hilarious. I'm definitely pulling out the suspenders for this. I'm annoyed though, because they put our Career Shadow Day on Wednesday. Why they thought it was a good idea to put in Homecoming week I don't know, but I'm sad because that eliminates one of our dress-up days. But I am excited for Career Shadow day. I'm shadowing Mrs. Jennifer! So it'll be fairly low key, but still actually insightful to stuff that I'm considering doing. Plus, any excuse to get out of school is great. But most of all, I'm looking forward to this weekend. I'm annoyed though, because I couldn't find any theaters that are showing Where the Wild Things Are at midnight, which I was planning on doing. Ugh, hopefully I can go that afternoon before Homecoming that night. And the best part about this weekend is family. I really need you guys, and the prospect of next weekend is really keeping me going. Homecoming + family + McCall + Where the Wild Things Are = best day ever. Can't wait.
