Ritalin, etc.

So.. Not doing tennis. I know, I know. I'm just a chicken. I may do it next year, though. Along with.. drum roll.. DANCE TEAM! I'm so excited :D! Our school has never had a dance team, so I'm looking forward to trying that out. Which is random for me, if you think about it. Let's not do that.

Currently helping Will write his research paper for English 101. His topic is ADHD medication and how they're being abused and sometimes unnecessarily used. Improper diagnoses, abuse in the college setting, and dangerous side effects of unnecessary use. Oh, it's fun. And before this, I was helping him with his College Alg stuff. It sounds like I'm complaining, but I really don't mind. I like to help. And it's not like he's just expecting me to do everything or even to help at all. I always offer if I feel he'll need a hand, and if he does, he takes me up on it. No biggie :]. School stuff has always just kinda been "eh" for me, so I think it's kinda fun 8]. Now I'm rambling and if he ever finds this blog (lord, I hope he doesn't), he'll kill me. So I'll stop talking about it.

We registered for senior classes Monday. It's Wednesday now. I really want to change what I signed up for. Right now, I'm signed up for English 101/102, College Algebra, College Spanish, Appalachian Studies, Comparative Religions, Theory of Music, SATB Chorus, and Concert/Marching Band. I really wanna change some of those. But our website is being screwy. So I'm not sure what to do. I'll get it figured out. I want to take out App/Comp and Theory and put in Art and either Muscial Theater or Drama. I know the ones I'm taking out sound cool, but App/Comp are each a one-semester class, and I'm not sure how I feel about who's teaching it. And apparently, theory of music would be independent study during guitar, meaning it wouldn't even be a class. So... I'm not sure what I'm gonna do. Global Issues would be a cool class to take, too. There just aren't enough periods in a day, I guess.

ITALY IN LESS THAN THREE WEEKS! Just sayin :D

Tuesday, March 22 is Band Festival in Somerset. Or was it London...? Idk, somewhere over in sorta western Kentucky. I'm excited. And really nervous. Because there are apparently 42 bands in that region. Our festival that we normally go to in town only has 7 bands. We have to go to another district this year due to scheduling conflicts with our Italy trip. And all the bands in Somerset's district are AMAZING. And our band.. not so much. I'm not saying we don't have talented players, because we do. It's just that OVER half of our band is Jr. High students that can hardly play their instrument. It kills me. We just don't have enough high school kids to have a separate high school band from the jr. high. It sucks. But we make do, and I'm sure we'll do well with our pieces at festival. We're only playing two... sigh. They're called "Evening Prayer" and "Rhythm of the Winds."

Yesterday was a bummer. Our boys' basketball team was playing in the region finals to go to state. We lost :[. If we had made it to state, the band would've gone to state, too! I'm not sure what was up last night.. The night before last, we played hard. Last night, we were sloppy. Idk what happened. Oh well, though. Maybe we can do it next year.

Yeah, this is pretty much a pointless post.

After while, crocodile.
