"i gave her my heart and she gave me a pen"

HI OMG I FEEL SO GREAT RIGHT NOW I JUST RAN 2.5 MILES WHEEEE !!!!!!! ! I JUST CAME BACK AND THE WEATHER IS GORGEOUS AND I FEEL SORE AND FABULOUS, FEELS LIKE THE CLOSER SPRING COMES THE HAPPIER I AM BECOMING :D ANYWAY I WILL STOP THE CAPS LOCK

so my two friends and i are starting to make a routine out of running the trail behind our houses which stretches for 5 or 6 ish miles there-and-back and ends up at the town center, and i really love it so far. we have only gone two days so far but i know it's going to keep happening and i just felt SO good afterwards today seeing as i haven't gotten ANY exercise over the winter besides playing ddr with albert :D oh and on the subject of ddr, we are playing ddr in gym class and free periods!!!! it is so fun, i keep on playing other people on heavy and i "FAIL!" every single time but it's so fun! i am getting a bit better, i can step on a bit more than half of all the arrows pretty well, lol. oh geez i am getting so bad at punctuation online i guess it's just because i'm excited, well anyway today was the perfect weather to go out in FLIP FLOPS AND CAPRIS for the first time this year and it made me SO HAPPY! also, what really helped my mood too was that i found my old favorite lip gloss in the pocket of the old capris (and i thought i had lost that for like a year) and i can use it again!!! (it's the reallly really minty type from bath & body works that tingles and burns if anyone wanted to know :P)

otherwise not much has been going on, i raised my D- in tech ed to a C- (if that counts for anything lol) and i also got two lunch detentions from the tech ed teacher (FOR LAUGHING!!!!! HELLO!!!! it's so annoying because SOME people like my really good friend always gets "strikes" when she talks out or something, like last class she had 5 strikes on her, except every time i make a sound i automatically get a detention!!! ugh!) and i'm going to sign up for track soon although i'm already 2 weeks late (i need to get more organized) and i watched the movie say anything... with my friend a few days ago and it was SOOO cute! i loved it and i loved lloyd dobler for anyone who has seen it =) mmmm ok that's all i can think of now; i hope ALL of you are super happy at this time and moment and i love you all. :D

love,
geena!!!!!

--| ~|~(= Hello =)~|~|--

Hey everyone. yea, I know its kinda weird that im posting on this blogg considering i wasnt in your class.but, i hope still can be accepted in this tightly knitten community of friends =). Emily talked to me and she stated that she was purrfectly willing to let me post with her account on this blogg since she has no use for it. Dont worry, i am signing up crafting the essay for this summer at CTY. Im going to Saratoga Sping NY first session.

Talking about this course, do you guys have any tips for anything that will help me do well in this course? I would love suggeustions (spelling?). after so many months, summer is in our sight again. For me, personally, I thought eighth grade is passing by so fast! Even though I didn't make it to the school i wanted to go i still think andover high is good. Still, it still seem like three more months, but trust me, its going to fly.

Personally, i think i suck at writing, maybe thats why I didnt get accepted to PA. currently I am taking writing lessons with a teacher for another every thursday. Taking the crafting the essay course will definitly help.

Again, I hope that I will be welcomed, but if not im happy to leave without a grudge against anyone !=P

P.S: tell me about the courses you taking, where, and when? I already know that scottyyzzzzzzzz is going to lancaster and so is Cherry.

have a wonderful week.

P.S.S: last week i had the MCAS and it was the state test, took forever and was kinda hard. oh yes, Geena, what form did you get?

~ttyl~ au revior

P.S.S.S: does anyone take french? and uh can everyone tell me their sn cuz i kinda lost it and my sn is AresZorRa

and i'm too sexy for my hat too sexy for my hat what do you think about that?

!!!!!!!! HI guys!!!!! it's late right now but our school just finished putting on the musical for the last time!!! we performed guys & doll jr. and i do think it was pretty successful. thursday night was the worst night and last night was very drama-filled backstage but today was great, and there was the cast/crew party afterwards in which i STUFFED myself, so that is why i'm still awake and posting at this hour even though i swear i could fall asleep right here and now on the keyboard, i want my food to digest before i lie down in my bed and throw up or something

whoo that was a long sentence anyway I AM SO GLAD THE PLAY IS OVER!!!!!!!!! that will probably be the last musical i will be doing ever, although it was fun i do not think they are really my thing. in middle school it's just more fun and kind of more of a social thing than a really hardcore production. =) anyway that is me AFTERWARDS reallyr eally happy in front of the piano still with stage makeup and all, i just washed the heavy caking of foundation off and i literally look like a zombie now, i am SO TIRED!

today i volunteered at a circus-carnival with three friends for 7 hours and then went straight to the play which lasted another 7 hours lol. i haven't practiced piano or done homework or even really been at home at all for the past 4 days, and right now i have a chinese essay that was due 5 weeks ago but i never finished DUE TOMORROW! fslfjlsjflsajdlfsldfjlsj when this stressful week ends i am going to throw a party and that will be a GOOD DAY ahhh i feel so out of it right now i am falling half asleep ok so bye all of you hope thugns are good love geena !:)

good and bad week :):(

hi all! :)

okay so i decided to post today even though i don't really have much time to spare on tuesdays bcuz they're so hectic :( but anyway, lots has been going on! our school talent show is this friday and i'm in it! i'm singing torn by natalie imbruglia with my friend. its pretty fun and we're going costume shopping tomorrow and getting free rita's ices (they're giving them out tomorrow! i got it in an email lol) :D plus tomorrow, march 21 is the first official day of spring! actually our science teacher told us it was technically tonight at 8 pm for us, but idk how many people that applies to. pretty sure its only the east coast.

so i have two more stories to share. today i had detention because last week i didnt have a note when i was late. i thought it was the stupidest thing ever. i mean it's just a note! :( but on the brighter side, it was with one of my favorite teachers and one of her old students came in to see her. and we talked for most of the time so it wasn't too bad ;)

BUT (i heard this later from the friend in this story) one of the musical directors, ms zamora was all like "WHERE IS MS TENNEY?!" after school today. [i told her last thursday & wednesday (BOTH days, and face to face too!) that i wasn't going to be there yesterday OR today because i had talent show. it was partially true because i did have talent show yesterday but not today. she was even mad at the time though, even though i had a "valid" excuse. i was all like sorry but i do have other commitments! lol sorry if this sounds confusing.] then my friend was like "she has detention" when she asked. ms zamora EXPLODED from what i heard. yeesh. and then this girl jadelyn was like "i'll read her lines today" and ms zamora goes "okay jadelyn you're the new ms tenney."
^ wtf?!?! i told her i couldn't make it! :/ but even though musical sucks major butt, track is starting soon and its my favorite activity ever :D the list hasn't been posted yet since some people still need to run (there's snow all over the track and they keep pushing back the date lol) but hopefully it'll start after i'm through with this whole mess.

BUT in april, i am going on a field trip to quebec which i am really excited for! i've never been to canada and its going to be amazing :) and also during spring break, i'm vacationing in the islands! its a cruise that goes to the bahamas, virgin islands, haiti, and puerto rico :P there's an ice cream bar on the ship that serves BEN & JERRY'S ICE CREAM! that is like the most expensive ice cream out there and the cruise is prepaid so.... i get to get faaaat :D

and also, i'm coming down with some mix of a cough and cold :(
but the blog is very lively so je suis heureuse :)

oh and song recommendations:
-goodnight goodnight by hot hot heat
-wolf in sheep's clothing by this providence
-little things by lily allen
-not ready to make nice by dixie chicks

whats going on with you guys? i feel like i talked too much about myself in this post!

<3rachel

Yaaaaaaaaaaay

So everyone's posting and every sounds normal again~
Geena- I'm glad your back... It's good to hear your happiness again!
Kingston- I missed my fellow Braintreeian(?)
M.E.- I hope you feel better
Amy- I can feel your prescene in the Eastern coast! And I sound different?
And <3 to everyone I'm just kind of spacey right now

So I'm mad...
Every year the high school band picks wind players for the high school orchestra. I've been playing in it since I was in 6th grade which isn't too easy because there's only 2 spots... So suprise I was first flute this year and this 11th grade ugly girl with blue hair (the kind that ALWAYS tells you to shut up in class when you ask her to pass a tissue or something)
So I was like ok lets be friendly and amiable... And when we started doing scales (in this weird way the orchestra instructor thought of) I tried to tell her the sequence of it because it's not just a normal scale. And I said it in a way that wasn't snobby or anything
But she just WHIPS around and starts yelling at me about how she totally knows it and I shouldn't say anything because I'm a freshman...
So of course, she played the scale wrong and I got in trouble for not telling her how to do it... And NOT to sound prissy but I was mad!
But I let it go...
Then during the pieces she was really out of tune so I offered to tune together so we could sound decent
And again... the dirty look accompanied by a short speech about how I'm worse than she is and she can tune herself and that I have no right to tell her waht to do
And she's out of tune... And the orchestra instructor stops in the middle to tell me flutes are really out of tune and that it's my responsibility to tune us... So again this is kinda of unjust for me (I know i sound self absored but try to imagine this situation when all I'm trying to do is help)
And so orchestra was hell cuz she was playing the wrong notes/really out of tune
So before she left I told her that she had no right to talk to me like that when I was only trying to help and that in fact I didn't think I was better than her in the beginning but after that rehearsal I told her that I KNEW i was better than her not only in flute but as a persron because I would not treat a random person I don't even know all too well like that
So she went to the instructor and told her I had an "attitude problem" but the instructor knew me so when she heard my side of the story she kicked the other girl out (HAH!) But that 11th grade girl went around and told her friends that I was a little brat (she doesn't have too many friends) But I really don't care what a couple 11th graders think of me... I'm just appalled that there are ppl like her in this world...

Hey Raee you always comment but u never post
Post! everyone post
i wanna see how everyones doing :)
<3
P.S. that was my vent of the day
as you can see i rly dont like injustices such as this one

T.T

heyy
i meant to post sooner, but i was sorta busy with GEPA and now im not so yea...
good news first GEPA was soo easy i was like...is that it?...especially the math part. It only took me 7 minutes to finish the last part and for the other 28 minutes i ended up just daydreaming :)
now the bad news..i took the interview on the 13th and i totally sucked..I noticed that i get along well with like people my age, but when talking w/ adults or just talking to ppl for important reasons...it doesnt work out the way i want it to...
i ended up not even making eye-contact with the teacher and my answers don't make sense at all now that i think about it...the only thing i did was smile a lot, which to them made it seem like i was retarded...
eh..i think they're mailing out the letters on April 17th? then i'll know if i dropped out or if by some miracle i got in...

I'm Back

I didn't really leave, I just couldn't figure out how to switch to new bloger, but now I finally figured out how to post again. This entire time I've been trying to sign into new bloger with my old blogger account. I'll be posting and commenting more often now.

I have MCAS next week and most teachers think that the best way to prepare is by cramming, but that just makes me tired. My only teacher who thinks otherwise is Mrs. Moran, my favorite teacher. She teaches English and she thinks the best way for us to prepare is to have a little down time.

It snowed! On Friday we got about 2.5". Then on Friday night it rained and turned it all to ice, but today it melted back to snow. No snowday, but some is better than none.

I'll post some more later, but right now I'm going to do some homework.

this whole damn world can fall apart you'll be ok :)

hey everyone! so i am better than when i last posted (i read it and i was like WOW i was moody!) i guess i am still sad but i did get over it after that day. so, things have been pretty good. i made a bet with myself in a way that if i am much better of a person from here on out maybe i will make it in from the waiting list. =) it is stupid but right now i just don't feel very deserving as i've been slacking off in school majorly (D- IN TECH ED! took me off the honor roll forever basically, and 2 office detentions!!! ahhh!) and in piano and whatnot, plus i still SUCK at chinese. also i stopped being as social as i used to be in school and eventually i will try to work that up too, but first i am going to be satisfied with myself and just generally be in a better mood most of the time because i haven't been.. fun to be around lately to put it nicely ;p

so, on friday i slept over my friend's house and we had an all-out slumber party (even though it was just two of us) where we did hair and makeup and nails and all that good girly stuff and that was very fun. then on saturday i got invited sledding (a whole foot of snow!) and to a sleepover but my parents were mad at me so i didn't even ask, and i stayed in and did chinese homework and ran around the house in shorts with albert because we were really hyper. today, i had chinese school and i had a meeting with the ten others who are going to china this april, and we had to prepare our english lessons for the chinese kids down there, and i realized a really really really bad terrible fact

and that is: !!!!! i am so hopeless at chinese!!! i thought i was okay at first, but when i tried putting together a tiny little lesson describing how to pronounce everything i could not say a single sensible strand of words without pausing and saying um and stuff! and then i did some serious calculating and i am estimating now that i probably know.. 30% of the whole chinese language.



30%!!!!!!!!!!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW TERRIBLE THAT IS!!! and i am going to the chinese countryside in 4 weeks !!! that is why, in a desperate attempt to bring the 30% up to AT LEAST a 50% i will be speaking in totally chinese with my parents for the next few weeks, and i will THINK all my thoughts in chinese every chance i get, and HOPEFULLY, hopefully hopefully i will be way better. :D


well that's really all i have to update about now. OH! and our school play is opening this week so we are dress-rehearsing every day of the week and it's going to be so fun! woohoo, ok bye :D

love,
geena


PS: i have new song recommendations if people are still looking! =)

you get what you give - new radicals
more than a feeling - boston (btw did you know the lead singer of boston committed suicide like a week ago? it is sad)
jerk it out - caesars
man of the hour - pearl jam
save me - unwritten law
yellow - coldplay (i will bet most already have this song but if you don't you SHOULD! :D)
first week - graham colton band
breakfast in america - supertramp (if you know the song "cupid's chokehold" by gym class heroes, this song was actually the original of it. i like both songs equally because they are actually very very different style-wise.)

subject:boreddddddddd

Okay, its Friday 12:55 p.m. to be exact (that's the one close to noon) and i am bored as hell.

In 2hours, i am going to B iceskating and in 6, i will B at a friends house and in 22, i will be at a dance practice and in 26, i will be at a piano lesson.

We're on SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1



Anywayz, this summer the high school that i want to got to, has a summer orientation.
For 2 weeks, the future freshmen will get to know each other, make friends and navigate the building.

Unfortunately, I will be in Newton,Massachusetts visiting my grandparents. This is great, but i am nervous as all the freeshmen will know each other except for me. I won't know anyone.




On the bright side, I GET 2 C MY GRANDPARENTS. i have not seen them for like 3 years.


Anywayz,

M.E. sorry about ur stomach virus, hope you feel better soon.
Angie-hahahahaha about the eye tennis guy thing. You sound reallly different.

AND I AM SURE ALL OF YOU WILL HAVE FUN AT HIGH SCHOOL, NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO!!!!!

bUT I AM SURE MOST OF YOU WILL GET INTO YOUR HIGH SCHOOL OF CHOICE!

Heyyyy guys...

Guess who has the stomach virus!?!?! Yepp. That would be me. Argh. I stayed home from school yesterday and today but today I feel much better so my mom went to work so I'm home alone now doing absolutely nothing. I'm still in my pajamas and it's one o'clock in the afternoon. Although the actual illness part wasn't that bad (I've been through MUCH worse) the annoying part is that I missed dance yesterday and I missed the ITBS test which is the equivalent of those GEPAs or whatever they're called so now when I go back to school I have to make it up with my 1000 year old principal who is a NUN in the dull, horribly lit cafeteria. Ew. So yeah... we're having really bizarre weather here. On Wednesday it was in the 70s and today it's snowing. But not a fun snow. Like an icy wet snow. And I started reading the DaVinci Code for this Author Study thing I have to do for English and even though I'm only on page, like, 30 even though according to this horribly boring calendar my teacher made us make saying how many pages we have to read per day I should be on page 120, it's really good so far.

So yeah. I really don't have much of anything to say. I have to go read 90 pages of DaVinci.

M.E.

Aw guys!

UR LIVES ARE NOT OVER~
u can do super well in ur towns high school and get like a perfect GPA and like be awesome
colleges luv that
if u went to some intense boarding school it wud have been intense and u wouldnt have been the top of ur class and everything!!
besides being waitlisted and not accepted "due to finanial problems" means u guys are super duper smarter and all
i have faith in u guys!!!!!

on to ligher subjects that mite take ur mind off of rejection (which stings we ALL no)
i was playing this super hot guy whos name was steven (and ladies when i mean super hot i mean the 6 pack plus sandy brown hair plus piercing green eyes *melts* you may ask how i know he has a six pack? well he had that hot ab scratch/lift up shirt thing REFERENCE TO GUYS: THAT IS HOT DO IT) in tennis and it was going well... he was winning but it was only by 1 and we were having a good time and laughing and everything... (he was kinda going easy on me too) and i was conveniently wearing my fave tennis skirt (i no this is such a shallow moment of me but everyone luvs moments like these) so we were playing when all of the sudden i get off balanced and hit him a rly easy shot which he SMASHEd like no other... so i panicked and swung and...
...
..
missed the ball and hit myself SQUARE IN THE EYE
but being the trooper i am... i tried to play it off and go on with the game except he came over because i kinda started tearing/crying
conclusion: my strings scratched a MILLIMETER from my eyeball and i was bleeding and swollen and it was rly nasty... plus i was kinda sweating too
BUT he was super sweet and stopped the game so he cud help me put bandaids on it and disinfect it and everything
worst part: its now yellow and looks like i did a rly bad job with eyeliner
best part: i have his fone number and a rematch next week :)
thank you thank u... i managed to turn a swollen eye into an opening for some flirting... *bows*

and guess wat?
yesterday my friend was tickling me and i ended up banging my forehead against the desk and now i have a swollen bump on my head

and guess wat else?
i was dancing and when i took my leggings off i realized that my big toes toenail was half falling off
and now it hurts cuz its hanging on by like this little part on the side :(

BUT i aced my super hard math test AND my bio test

bittersweet week for me
but im always here for u guys
<3

letters

i only applied for one school and i got waitlisted. there were 25 spots on the list and at the end of the year they need to see your final transcript. this is not a good thing because i got a d- in tech ed and the competition is still fierce so i'm sure that'll rank me pretty below-ly.

i don't know what to say. i thought for sure i was rejected because the envelope was so small and the first two words i read were "i regret" but i guess it's a bit better. i know i will sound like a jerk and a self centered snob but i guess i didn't really expect it. i am okay with being waitlisted but i am just not okay with like, myself. i am really dissatisfied right now about my life in whole and it's something i think i can figure out. actually i don't really know, maybe i can't figure it out. i haven't been able to be satisfied all year so who's to say i'll be perky again now, but then again i am feeling kind of pessimistic right now. i got the letter and so far i've stayed on my bed for an hour and a half. i guess i should get dinner now though

:)

love always
geena

Admission results

The result for this year's boarding application came in the mail today. I did not do well. I got a few wait lists, (Deerfield, Hotchkiss, Mercersburg, and Asheville). Northfield Mount Hermon admitted me but put me on the financial wait list.
However, I already know their game. They will put me on the wait list like last year, and then at the last minute- tell me that there are no funds and that I cannot go to boarding school. I know the chance of admission is minute on the wait list. There are just no funds for poor students like me. Last year I already experienced this situation. Which means (at the moment) I do not have a boarding school to attend.

here's an excerpt from my Choate letter:

Dear Emily:

For the last several weeks the Admission Committee has spent much time and effort discussing a large number of candidates. This year the competition was as tough as it has ever been in the history of the school. It is with respect for and acknowledgement of your effort that, unfortunately, I must inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to Choate Rosemary Hall.

You should know that the decision was not based on your credentials--which were quite impressive--but rather on our inability to offer you the financial aid you need to attend our school. Unfortunately, our budget is not large enough to accommodate all the worthy applicants. We certainly regret having to make these painful decisions, because, quite simply, if we had more financial aid we would have offered you a place at our school.

Again, we are sorry that we are unable to offer you a spot at Choate Rosemary Hall and we wish you the best. It is truly our loss.

Sincerely,

Ray Diffley, III
Director of Admissions

Kinda depresses me a little; but i'm already used to it. I had the same results last year, except this year I just know the game a little better. What happened with you guys? I hope you guys had good results, unlike me ;__;

HI :D

hello everyone!! ahhhh it's march 12th and i know i'm not the only one waiting for admission letters and i hope everyone else has seen of good news and stuff. =) my letter has still not come and it's making me super duper nervous. everyone was convinced they would come today (some people skipped school today just to be at their mailboxes as early as possible) but letters never came. so i am just getting increasingly JITTERY! and i'm just doing stuff to distract myself like blogger and math and stuff. =)

anyway over the weekend i went to my chinese school's fundraising ballroom dance party! it was really fun, even though all i could do was supervise the bake sale for a few hours. but, i also got to run around the university taping a bunch of "RESTROOM -->" signs everywhere, which got kind of stressful but i did it! ballroom dancing looks so fun though, i remember learning during the weekly activities and now i forget almost all of it, but i think i do want to re-learn it someday. :D also at the end of the party some really exciting techno music came on and the adults were just kind of going crazy dancing. it was really cute and scary at the same time, like literally they had their arms in the air and they were all flailing around wildly. a weird way to see the normally very dignified parents. :p at the end i think we raised like $300 from donations alone, and then i'd estimate $250 more from ticket sales. so it was very good for just one night, and the money is eventually to be donated to the rural superpoor school in china somewhere. :D

speaking of which i really need to improve my chinese! i'm going to be going there in just 5 or so weeks, and i suck! i'm trying really really hard to speak all the time at home with my parents but to tell you the truth the only time i really talk to them is at dinner. i think i want to download a chinese audiobook onto my ipod or something and learn a bit from that. whatever, however i do it, it has to be quick and soon ! =)

nothing much else super important going on here, i'm still waiting for the letter.... my dad predicts it'll come wednesday and my dad i'm sorry to say is usually always very precise so who knows. i'd love to prove him wrong for once but i don't know if that's possible, but i'll update about what i find. i have a plan that if i get accepted, i will spend the day being insanely happy and i'll ride my bike to cvs and buy some candy to share with albert, and then i'll play ddr with albert for as long as i want, and then possibly i'll go shopping or do something else i love. and if i get rejected i'll spend the day being quiet, maybe i'll skip school if i'm seriously upset and i'll read and play piano and think and get over it. =) so really either way it'll be alright. i'm ready!!

much much love to all of you, i hope everything is going well. please keep on updating i miss you all! - geena!

Random Ranting

Um...let's see...

Well, I'm taking the GEPAs next week, from Monday to Thursday. It totally screws up my school schedule to the point of me not knowing when to go to where, and I still have to wake up for high school math each day, so I have to get up earlier than most people. I'm not allowed to bring anything to the classroom, the school is JUST changing the science curriculum in 6th grade to teach something we never learned about for the GEPAs, and my hands twitch from Language Arts Gepa Prepa Boot Camp.

Fun, right?

Have any of you listened to a band that sounds BETTER live? I just did.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCW4N8XX2xY

And an Asian guitarist. That's got to count for something, right?

I suck at titles...

remember the high school i was trying out for? Bergen Academy and like i thought i screwed up the test (math and an essay) but i got accepted yay!!!
but now i have to take an interview and if i pass the interview im officially in the school
IM GONNA FAIL!!! i like screw up a lot when im under stress and when im nervous..like i say 'umm' and 'like' a lot which is bad in an interview
they're gonna ask me one question and this pair interview thing where we interview one of the people there and introduce the person to the teacher(like i know everything about it even tho i didnt go yet)
well my interview is on tuesday which sux cuz thats also the day im doing GEPA...:(
neway plz pray for me and wish me luck!!

admission letters

The admission letters for boarding schools come in a few days. I wish good luck to everyone who applied to a boarding school. ^__^. I want to get into Choate, Deerfield, St, Pauls, Milton's, or St. Georges. Wish me luck too.

In recent news:I qualified for the National State Games in Colorado Springs, but I'm not really sure if I want to go because the plane tickets cost $1000 for my mom and I... >__>

I'm going to New Englands swim meet! (swim meet where teh best swimmers go to) Hellz yeah!

I am signed up for an SAT class and a SAT subject test in World History, which my mom forced me to take :C. I'm taking the SAT again May 5th and the subject test June 2.

I got an iPod! my brother bought it offa someone for $40. It's an iPod nano. I put in in disk drive mode by accident and now I have to reset it. >_< now I have to find all the songs again and put them back on my computer. . . dammit XD

Anyways, thanks for listening, I'm really excited about the admission letters, and I'll be sure to post about them when the come in the mail.~ bye everybody.

Does this work?

hmm... i just sorta switched to new blogger cuz i was boredd..
im just wondering if this works or not

Music!!!!!

Hey guys!!!!

Has anyone heard the song "All That I Am" by Rob Thomas? If you haven't you should so look it up because it's AWESOME!!!!!! My dance teacher showed it to us yesterday because it would be great to do as a modern piece and it's really lyrically and pretty (which is probably the reason I like it- because I can see all of the turns and jumps and stuff that would fit with it). Also I love the song Touch Me from the Broadway show Spring Awakening. I can't remember if I posted about that one or not.

M.E.

subject i have no idea what my subject is

hi guys. i am so tired and i just noticed that less than half of everyone has switched to new blogger and updates are going slow so i feel like i shouldn't post a ton because i'd be talking to myself again like in the summer. :P

anyway today i got 2 office detentions! yesterday in music class we had a sub named mr. moore and he took everyone from the music room into the computer lab, and he told me and my friend ali to stay behind and tell the late people to go to the computer lab, so we did and then we went to the bathroom and maybe we were dawdling too much or something because we got back 10 minutes late, and now today the assistant principal read his report which said that we were "15-20 minutes late to class," and we told her that wasn't true and stuff but she just goes "WELL, you are not in a position of power right now miss chen!!!" and then ironically she yelled at us for so long that we were both ten minutes late again to first period. :P but anyway she told us that technically we "cut class" and we could be suspended, except since i kind of got mad and told her it really wasn't as severe and exaggerated as mr. moore made it out to be she only gave us office detentions. =) (but, then she got mad at me for "giving her attitude and being fresh" ugh) so i guess you could say i am happy. but geez the assistant principal is INTIMIDATING. the whole situation was kind of stupid but i feel so powerless when she talks to me, it scares me! anyway this reminded me of rae's story about how her friend wanted to cut class & get detentions because i "technically" cut class and i got 2 detentions, lol.

secondly even though i got the youth & service course for cty my mom switched me over to a math one. i think it's the individually paced one, and of course my first though was "......!!?!?!?!?!?!? :o !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!whywhywhy" because seriously, MATH for 7 hrs a day with possibly people who actually enjoy math a ton!! and i freaked out but then i remembered that i kind of do need serious math make-up. remember my post from like september where i failed out of my chinese school algebra class and had to be moved down? i got a 4/15 for my score, and that class was filled with chinese kids my age. so, while i am the top average in my normal class, compared to the more educated non-bedford people i am far behind and this upsets my mom apparently. i did argue for a bit but i get where she's coming from that writing is in my comfort zone and math isn't so that's why i should try it blahdiblah.. so i guess i'm going to saratoga. i'm kind of nervous that there will be like one other person in my class and he/she will be either really creepy or so unbelievably nerdy that he/she won't want to waste time talking at all. ahhhh!

oh and there's a thirdly that i forgot: i almost set the house on fire. but i didn't so it's not such an amazing story, but basically i was baking and didn't see this one cookie sheet that was on the bottom of the oven, so i didn't take it out and after 20 or so minutes the thing started melting and smoke was coming out of the oven like crazy and i was in the shower so i didn't see or hear anything, but my dad and albert were totally freaking out and thought they might have to call 911. i got out of the shower and they were still completely spazzing so i guess i had to kind of be there because i just thought "um ok big deal" hehe. lol that is my story and i'll go now. :D all of you update! i miss you. =)

love,
geena

ps, albert and i are listening to "i'm too sexy" by right said fred and it is my new favorite song (if you would call it a song lol) just letting you know. :P

pps, jk ;) but it is very catchy! :D
