Take the Quiz and build your portrait!
Yesterday was chock full of crazy incidents, starting with 1st Period (AP Psych) when the fire alarm went off and we all had to go outside and stand in the nippiness. Brrr... Three fire trucks and two ambulances arrived on the scene about 5 minutes later (b/c it takes so long to drive two blocks). I was cool with the idea of the school exploding in a huge fireball UNTIL I realized that my ballad presentation was that day so my music was in Markowski's room. So I grabbed Marianne and screamed, "I've gotta go back! My Carly Simon CD's in there!! NOOO!!!" She grabbed my collar and yelled, "My Janis Joplin CD is in there!! AHHHHH!!!" I blame Mrs. McCann.
Later that day, I was washing my hands when the three stooges walked in and started wrestling with each other in the bathroom. The sound of their shoes slippin' and a-slidin' across the wet floor (and that ain't apple juice, okay) stayed with me all day. *CRINGE!*
Today was rather interesting. The band had to perform at an Honor Roll Assembly (which we were only told about two days ago!) and we played pretty well but it wasn't our best. At lunch, Carolyn and I discussed our choices of colleges and she tried to convince me to re-consider Carnegie Mellon University. Awesome school I will admit, but it's in Pittsburgh. PITTSBURGH! Do you have any idea how filthy and polluted Pittsburgh is? It's a factory city for crying out loud. Just driving through Pittsburgh, you'll get a lump on your breast. EW!
Alright, it's time for the Survey Grande!
