Sleepy

Ok. Hi.

I don't have too much to say right now. I'm a weird combination of really really tired and hyper. Again.

I just finished my psych notes, and now I'm going to go take a shower. I'm writing this now because I plan on crawling into bed almost immediately after leaving the shower and getting as much sleep as I can before I have to get up for school. I haven't gone to bed at a reasonable hour since school started, and I'm finally starting to feel it.

Do you ever get so tired that you feel nauseous? Because that's how I feel right now.

It might also have something to do with the fact that Kayla and I baked a ton of stuff for the choir bake sale, which inevitably resulted in me eating an unhealthy amount of raw cookie dough.


K. Well that's all I can write tonight. See you tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be better than these last few blog entries.

Love you!

KBYE

Adrenaline-Fueled Ramblings

I am so hyper right now.
I just got home from a five hour-long audition for my school's acting company, and the adrenaline mixed with the caffeine from the tea/latte/junk food I consumed is making me crazy!

I don't think I can even write a coherent blog entry right now. And the fact that the director of the program might or might not post the callback list online tonight is not going to help my ability to sleep.


Blah ok I can't even focus on this. Hopefully I'll be in a better state of mind tomorrow. If not, I apologize in advance for tomorrow's entry.

LOVE YOU!

And the 2009 "D-Bag Of the Year" Award goes to...

I'm going to keep this short, because I really don't have too much too say on this subject.

I just want to rant a little bit about the whole Kanye/TSwift debacle at the VMAs. (Is that the proper use of the word "debacle?" I don't really know or care.)

For those of you that currently live under a rock, here's a link to what happened. I don't know how long this video will stay up, so don't blame me if it doesn't work. You're clever. Google it.

Good. Now that you're filled in, let me give you my two cents on the matter.
Kanye West is an arrogant, self-centered, classless asshole. Whether or not you like Taylor Swift (I love her, but not everyone does, and that's ok) it was totally inappropriate and rude of him to ruin that for her. He's an insensitive egomaniac.

And his music sucks.


On a side note, where did he even come from!? Was he even on the stage before that? Don't they have some kind of security at the VMAs?

Anyway, it was really nice of Beyonce to give Taylor her moment. I like her a little bit more now.


Alrighty then. I've gone on about this for much longer than I intended to. I don't usually care about this sort of thing. I just thought that it was a jerk move on Kanye's part, and I needed to rant about it a little.

Goodnight all!

Geeking out, choir style. (GLEE!)

I just watched the pilot and first episode of Glee, and I need more. Right now.
I can't even explain how fantastic that show is. I'm kind of freaking out. A lot of other things happened today that I was going to write about, but I all I can think of right now is Glee. (And yes, in case you didn't know, I'm a huge choir geek. Like, Vice President of Choir Council choir geek...)

It's just so good! Not to mention, I want my choir to sing every single one of those songs now. No, actually, I want a super intense show choir now. NO, a super intense show choir that sings all of those songs!

I'll stop geeking out now, but it just had to be said. Glee is my new favorite show of all time. The end.

I'm an Olympic Procrastinator

This is me procrastinating.

I'm supposed to be finishing my psych notes, but I just can't get myself to do it. I tried to think of something interesting to write about, but clearly I failed to do that as well, because you're reading this garbage.

(I just got distracted from writing this by the new VlogLovers video. I'm procrastinating against the thing I was using to procrastinate in the first place! Something is wrong with this.)

Ok I'd like to go to bed at a somewhat reasonable hour, so I'm going to try and finish my psych notes now. It's two minutes until tomorrow, so I should get this posted.

Love you!
BYE!

blahday.

Today's entry is going to be quick, because in three minutes it isn't even today anymore. Today was blah. There was really good, really bad, and not really anything at all. I wont bore you with the details.

I'm super-dee-duper busy, and I'm only making myself busier as time goes on (I can't help it!) but the stuff that I'm planning on doing in the near future should be interesting. *she says mysteriously*


K I know this was really really short, but I need to take a shower and get some blessed sleep before I get up and do this all again tomorrow (which it technically is right now. Crap!).


GAH! KBYE I LOVE YOU

Goals. With a little bit of whining for good measure.

Today was an interesting day. I had my usual array of amazing classes, and I had a double lunch (which I used to run to Kings and buy goodies for the choir council meeting), but I also realized just how much work I'm going to have to do over the next few months. And let me tell you now, it's a lot of work.

I'm applying to five of my twelve schools early action, and almost all of the schools I'm applying to have a ton of supplemental and portfolio stuff. On one hand, I can kind of see the light at the end of this tunnel, because all of this has to be done by the beginning of December no matter what, but on the other hand I want to cry because it's a freaking lot of work! I don't want to complain about it anymore, because I brought all of this on myself by applying to a million and one schools, but I just needed to whine a little bit to get it off of my chest.

Now, on to the second part of this blog entry. I'm making an official list of long-term goals for myself, and I'm going to post it on here so that I feel like I have to do it because it's up on the internets. (not that anyone actually reads this blog, like I've said before)

So here it is. My list of long-term goals (subject to change whenever I feel like adding stuff):

- Read at least two books every month (not counting the books I read for all of my classes)

- Write a blog entry at least five days out of the week

- Keep working on my scrapbook/journal thing that I started

- Get into college (that's a big one)

-Stay on top of my school work, and actually study

- If nothing else, keep my desk and notebooks organized. The rest of my  room can do whatever it wants.



Okey dokey, I think that's all for now. Now I have to do these things or the creatures that run the internet will come and get me.

Joy! Relief! More work?

So on Friday, I decided (and by "decided" I mean "was coerced by my mother") to spend this wonderful three-day weekend working on all of my college application stuff. I wasn't very excited about it, especially when I was sitting at my computer editing on Saturday night while all of my friends were out having fun, but now that the weekend is coming to an end, I can honestly say that I'm pretty glad I did. I had been dreading the editing project that was ahead of me; a five minute documentary about keeping the arts in public schools. I didn't think that it was going to be any good, and I really did not want to sift through the hours of footage I had accumulated over the summer. I'd been working on it little by little for a few weeks, but I decided that this weekend I would just buckle down and finish it.

I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am that I did.

Not only did I get this project out of the way (which is a huge relief, because the deadline for one of the film competitions I'm entering it in is two weeks away), but it turned out so much better than I thought it would! I'm actually really proud of it!

Of course, being me, the first thing I want to do is post it on the internet. Unfortunately, I can't do that until December or January. Certain film competitions don't want any of their entries to be posted before they're submitted, and I also want to wait until I send it off to the schools I'm applying to.

But rest assured, the second I'm able to post it, I will. (Not that there is anyone reading this blog. And the only people who actually want to see this video are my friends, who I can show at my house...)


Anywho, I must be going now. I have Psych notes to take, and more college applications to work on. Yay!


 
Since I'm not uploading the video now, or any time soon, here is the intro image thingy.
Just in case you were interested...

Serious Business

I think I might be addicted to the internet.

Every time I find a website I like, even if it's just a little bit, I feel like I have to sign up for it. That's the only reason I'm writing on this shiny new blog right now! I have an account on wordpress, but I've only used it a handful of times. I don't really like it. And I just signed up for tumblr the other day, which is super cool, but it just doesn't feel like a real blog. So now I'm here. It's a new school year (senior year, which is really really really weird) and it's time for me to do this blog thing for realzies.

Warning: It's the beginning of college application season, so you (whoever you are) will undoubtedly be hearing more than you could possibly want to about college applications over the next few months. Deal with it.

Okey dokey then. It's kind of late, so I'm going to hit the hay, but I'll be back soon.
