whee!

Classical @ 05:15 pm CST

holy crap.
so, like. yes. i was still sick ALL damn day. and all seemed crappy as my day came to an end while i was driving to the co-op for my last class.


anyone who lives in my area knows that the co-op is a mixture of kids from various schools around here (mostly from mine) and a lot of them are there for the mechanics. i'm there for graphic design, which will be screenprinting later on and will need presses, so that's why i'm there. and the fact that they have all the expensive computers there, too.
anyway.
so the only kids who really go there are the druggies, drop-outs, and the pregnant girls from the school in waconia or something.
meaning, no eye candy. (not like there's much at my home school, ANYWAY. >>;)

but there's this one guy.
he's in the photography class, which shares their space with our computer lab, so i see him always passing in and out of our class. he's, y'know, actually good looking. pretty blond hair and all.
so i noticed him. kinda wished that he was in my class, so we could actually have a chance to talk to each other, if any at all.

but apparently, yesterday when i wasn't at school, my teacher had my page lying out while she was grading it or something. we all had to make a magazine cover on an original subject of our choice.
i chose comics. had hellboy on the front cover and everything. (whoo!)
my teacher seems to just love me, so she keeps praising me on it and allows me to cut many corners... i didn't have half the stuff i needed for the magazine cover that was on the project sheet, but she just said, "nevermind all that..."

ANYWAY. to the good part.
someone saw my page yesterday, got really excited about it, and said to her, "you NEED to introduce me to this person!"

so today, when i came into class, the teacher jumped me and flagged down the kid.
guess who it was!
:D


the cute kid's name is tim, and he freakin' makes and collects comics. which is MOST AWESOME. i just want to actually see what he does if anything... i love seeing new artwork. (but it gives us something to talk about, otherwise, haha. -sucks at small talk-)
he seemed kinda surprised when i was introduced to him... i think he was expecting that i was a guy. (not many girls make and/or like comics, right.) XD;;

the only cute guy in the whole building, and we have SOMETHING IN COMMON. harhar. XD
i gotta see if i can talk to him sometime. i think he comes from another school that gets out much earlier than mine, so i don't think he'll ever be able to stop by and talk after school or something... sigh.


MANY YAYS.
-throws confetti for self- no one seems to be sharing in my enthusiastim for meeting a cool/cute guy, so i'll just celebrate by myself, meh.

uhm.
yes.
art club was also today, nothing really new there. :B
but i do have my first orchestra pit meeting tonight in...two hours, so i'm ready for that (i think)!

brown paper packages.

so, right!
today is a sick day and it sucks. i have this nice splitting headache right now.

but the stuff i ordered for dan's birthday present finally came and i've spent the afternoon packing a box with everything. whee.
i really can't remember if it's dan's eighteenth birthday or not this year. i really think it is, but there's this small uncertainty. and, y'know... me, the one with ocd... i gotta know that it's perfect. (wouldn't want to be wrong, anyway, and be babbling on about something that's a year away for him. :B)

anyway. i went to check my instant messenger history with him and see if one of us wrote down what age he was a year ago...
instead of finding that, i did find all these memorable things we talked about. makes me feel warm and cozy inside. like when i was going to paint my room last year over christmas break:


dan: sounds great. where will you sleep while you're painting?
dan: norway?
dan: please? :P
me: aww. i'd love to, but then i couldn't paint my room.. :P
dan: pff , excuses!


loveable kitten. :B

anyway, by the time i've finished typing this thing, i finally found an indication to his age and i am right. yay. :D
-frolics off to write stuff-

i have been touched by his noodly appendage.

what. the. fuck.
XDD

i mean... to every man and woman, his or her own religion... but this is just so. fucking. FUNNY. XD


i spent another fifty dollars at the art store tonight. damn it.

and that is all. :D

stuff and stuff!

Classical @ 04:11 pm CST

i'm running out of creative titles. DX

so.
school's going pretty good, now that we're getting into a regular schedule and actually learning stuff.

world studies is one of those project-intensive, busywork-minimal classes. and i can do projects easily, heheh.
psychology is just...fun. we just talk. a lot. XD
and art... man, what am i expected to say about this? XD i'll be starting a painting/drawing tomorrow, or as soon as i find a board to stretch the canvas out on.
and my graphics communication class it easy. just an excuse to play around with illustrator and photoshop, hehe.

lunch is good, because i have cool people to sit with, like kendra, mike, and heather.
emily and kimm are in my art class.
and alexa is in world studies...so the family's all there. :D


but! more importantly, MY BAGS CAME!
wheeeeheee! -flails-
they are so...awesomely-awesome!

the smaller one that i ordered just manages to fit everything that i need in it. XD only downside is that it doesn't have any pockets, so my pencils will get lost in the bottom of it...

oh well.
its awesomeness outweighs that completely. :D

school.

Classical @ 05:11 pm CST

well, today was the first day of school.
and i'm not quite sure what to think.

first off: i park my car, get out, and walk up to the building. some stupid fucking seniors had put up chalk graffiti all over the building. most of it was to scare sophmores.
i felt really bad for the young'ins. that honestly can't be a good first impression on the first day of real high school for them.

i had to go get my schedule fixed first thing, and i'll have to go in again tomorrow, as well. i picked up a class at the co-op: graphic communications. graphic design, really.

okay, so here's the lowdown to the rest of it:

in general
pros: bigger school. the new house looks pretty cool, though nothing like the rest of the building. my classes are all grouped on one side of the building with the lunchroom, so i don't have to walk too far once i get down there.
cons: ...the school is BIG. it takes FOREVER for me to get from one end of the building to the other. and i park on the COMPLETE opposite side (and there's no hope of getting a parking lot change). AND EVERYTHING IS FUCKING CONTRABANDED!! i can't listen to music anymore, even in places like my art class where it was actually okay! and i can't drink soda anymore during class. i'm really going to have to get off that habit. and where the fuck is the AC?!

ap world studies
pros: alexa is in it with me!! we can be, like, study buddies or something. though the class really doesn't appear to be that hard at all. teacher seems okay, though i feel like he's kinda unsure of what he's doing.
cons: it's the first thing in the morning. and with all forms of caffiene on contraband, i'm a bit worried i won't make it. D:

psychology
pros: hehe, the german exchange student is in my class. i'll have to get to know him. the teacher likes to talk...a lot. subject matter looks like things that i was totally expecting, plus things i wasn't but look damn cool anyway.
cons: it kinda hard to get to--it's in one of the classrooms that is tucked waaaay back in the houses. and i'm deep in another house for first block.

art
pros: OMG INDEPENDENT ART STUDY! XDD i'm soooo excited for this one! i mean, hell, for an artist to get an hour and a half devoted to just...doing whatever the hell she feels like, artistically-wise, it's heaven. i'm also pleased to say that i am not in the same hour as sylvia, another independent study...er who is a DAMN GOOD artist, so i don't feel quite as pressured.
cons: i have to produe almost thirty pieces by may to turn in for the ap portfolio. yikes.

graphic communications
pros: seems like a cool class. it'll really help me out in the near future, because it's all about basic design concepts. teacher seems chatty, but very friendly. i'll be able to drive there in a day or two, so that means i get out about..oh..fifteen minutes early than i would if i was at my "home" school. and the building actually has AC, because there are so many computers and other machines in the building, yay! and my class is only eight students (like whoooa!). AND it looks like a class that will require little outside work.
cons: it's at the co-op, which means i have to crowd onto a packed bus full of students to get there unless i drive (which may not always be an option). it's just...a huge fucking hassle.



in conclusion...
i'm not quite sure what to think. it was, after all, only the first day. and i'm a bit overwhelmed already. so maybe i'll have to update my thoughts on this at the end of this week or the beginning of next week.

i dunno. it doesn't seem like too much to stress about just yet. i'll start to worry when i add ap physics next quarter, and then my english and math courses next semester. :)


i want to get the kaiser cheifs cd. but i really have to watch my money now--i got my last paycheck today that i'll ever officially get 'til next summer, probably.
oh well. my bags shipped today, so once the order appears on the usps website, i'll be able to see where it's shipping from and how long it'll take, then. i hope they will be here by thursday or something... T^T
