Meeting One: Success


Got up, went to school. Sat for awhile listening to music, until Carie got there. Went inside and hung out until class started.
Finished Ever After in W131. Mr. Bryant got all upset with watching movies in class, and Mr. Oliver won the verbal beatdown by telling him to take it up with IU's curiculum.
English was cool. We studied the Raven. No joke. The only thing we did was pick apart the Raven by Edgar Allen Poe.
AP Psych was alright. We didn't really do much, but promises of future things.
Lunch was awesome. We had fried greenbeans. We sat outside, and even though it felt good, people were complaining about the cold.
German was just bleh.

After school, we went to Starbucks (after a financial beatdown from my mother) for the first NaNoWriMo meeting. Not only did we get stuff done, we had fun, which is just as much important.
Carolyn was the most vague, and hilarious, and contradictory person to talk. She had us laughing (at her expense, no offense to her) for 16 minutes by Carie's watch. That was great.

Postscript: I caught IO, Carie, Fred, and Anthony as they were laughing at Carolyn. I tried to get everyone, but didn't have the room.

Japanese was alright from what I could remember. The atmosphere was in one of those good moods that I'm in usually.
Algebra 2 was boring. We had a sub. We took notes. That was pretty much it.
Lunch was fine. I don't remember what I did?
Earth/Space was also boring. Test. And other stuff. It was pretty easy. I've retained all this stuff.
Creative Writing was also fun. All character stuff, which for me, is a good thing. I like doing character stuff, but it's one of my weakest points.

After school we had rehearsal. And then the play. And an awesome audience. And good energy. It went awesomely.

Feature: I HAD A GOOD WEEKEND. Can't go into details, 'cuz that isn't what the blog is about.

<3 Peace

Woo, way days late.

Sadly, I don't remember anything that I did.

Had W131, watched Ever After.
Had English, stuff about Poe
Psych, we were blindfolded. It was fun, I'll give it that. We made human pyramid, found stuff, wandered aimlessly. 'Twas much fun.
Lunch, was difficult blinded
German, boredom

Rehearsal, happened. From what I remember, it was alright.

Sorry abo0ut the lack of stuff, but Carie had thought she had lost her camera. It took awhile to get the pic. And then I just didn't feel like it.

<3 Peace

FREE CAR WASH!


Woke up, drove to school. Like always. Sat in the parking lot listening to my newest playlist. It's amazing. It's my favorite and it has no NIN or Smashing Pumpkins. That's just...wow.

Anywho, shortly thereafter, Ellen pulled up, so we walked up to the school and went to the Japanese Club Doughnut Breakfast.

A bunch of people has PSATs today, so Japanese was low on people, especially people that I talk to. Algebra was even less.
Lunch was pretty cool. No real reason. Just was.
Earth/Space was boring. There's a new girl in our class though, so a new person to get weirded out and laughing about our group. We had to watch AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH and it was boring.
Creative Writing was fun. We're beginning on character development.

Woot.

Which reminds me that NANOWRIMO is soon.

Rehearsal was simply boring. Dinner Theater just gets that way. Without an audience, there's not much to do.
Afterwards, it was pouring. I handed my stuff off, ran across the parking lot, got in my car, came back to drive Carie to her car, and the rain was nearly stopped.
Bull....

Oh well.


<3 Peace

Postscript: Ellen, pointing at something. She seems excited about it though.

So close


Got to school at the normal time. Read with the 5 girls who were at callbacks. Cast list finalized at the end of the day.
W131 was fun. We just did projects. Next time we start watching Ever After. The class is getting progressively better...for now.
English was boring. Poe was a good writer, yes, but I don't like him all that much. We pretty much just watched his biography the whole time.
Walking up to the door for AP Psych, Mr. Leswing tells us that as soon as we cross the threshold into the room, we can't talk. Not even during lunch. It was a thing about non-verbal communication. On Thursday, we are going to be blindfolded.
Lunch was fun with not being able to talk.
German was alright. Mostly notes... woo...notes...

Rehearsal was long and drawn out today, and afterwards, I gotta hang out with Anthony, Carie, and Tucker. That was fun.

Feature: I wrote this with three minutes to spare.

Postscript: Madi shows up to tech for no reason. So I took the picture. She posed at the last possible second. Skillz

quick


Got into school. Mr. Jacobs delayed callbacks to tomorrow morning. Yeesh.

Japanese was simple. Turns out our story was a ghost story, which I called. Class ended early.
So did Algebra 2, where we had a test.
The reason for the shortages was due to a Voice convocation about the dangers of drugs and stuff. The guy told a story about his daughter who died of Heroin abuse. His tale was gripping, and my attention was held.
Earth/Space was boring, as was Creative Writing.

Rehearsal was drawn out, and Ted wasn't even there. Afterward, Anthony, Carie, and I hung out a bit.

<3 Peace

Postscript: Anthony, Me, and Carie chilling out on Carie's car.

A body piercing cooler than any navel ring.

Went to school, finished up the note cards for Psychology. That was fun and crazy. Got more Gummy Bears from Kayla. Remember kids, when Zaq has candy, he'll share it with people he likes.
First period, W131. I'm working with Mallorie Taylor and Allison McCord for the Cinderella thing. We got 1960's poem version which was just odd. Really, really odd. Probably made more sense on an acid trip.
In the end, it was fine enough.
Second period, English, we finished Crucible. i did the amazing multitasking of watching the movie/joining in discussion/and doing my AP Psych homework. Woo!
Ap Psych, TEST! WOO! My homework was done, and I was ready for the test. I feel that I did fairly well, but we'll see. Those things have the ability to come back on me. After the test, it was about 12:15, so I felt the need to go down to the CMR FINALLY and get my blood drawn. This year, they have the RA maching, where they only take the red cells from you and put your plasma back, as well as saline to replace the liquid. I chose it. Every time you get the return, it gets really cold in your arm. There are four draws and four returns. The returns got progressively colder. It was awesome.
By the time I was done, SSR was over and it was time for German. Most of what we did was writing, so that was fun to do without bending my arm. Frau kept commenting on my paleness and saying she wished she had something to feed me, even though I felt fine. It was great.

After school, I had rehearsal. It was alright. Repeatative, since a lot of people either don't know their lines or keep changing things up. Hell, Taylor didn't even get to die. All in all, it was alright.

Feature: Zaq has to be there Monday to read with potential Linda's for the female callback. Sarcastic woo...

<3 Peace
~Zaq

Postscript: I couldn't get video of the needle going into my vein, but I got a picture of the aftermath. You can tell by the tube that it's during the return, since saline is pumping back in.
