None of you even have to read this. I'm just doing it because it's healthy and I need to talk this out. However, I'm keeping it public because I feel the need to let people know about this.

BatB is f***in' selling tickets to the last show! *smoke out of ears* I'm sorry, but I saw this about an hour ago and I'm still a little shaken.

Before 5 PM tonight, there was absolutely no way that anyone could get a seat for the absolute final night, unless they were asked via invitation. Now, they're selling tickets, and they're probably going like hotcakes if they aren't all gone.

Reason I'm upset: I'm going down with a huge group of friends, and we all wanted to see the last show. However, we got our tickets earlier this year, in March/April. As stated before, we couldn't find a way to get the tickets we wanted, so we settled on the last matinee, then we could go out to dinner and not stay up super late. However, the part of me that is reality is saying that I have no control over what Disney does and when we got our tickets. In fact, we probably couldn't all get seats to the show if we wanted to, and if we could, we probably wouldn't be sitting together, which we want.

Wow, I just did some stuff that really seemed to lower my frustration level...either that or I'm getting tired xD

One last thing: To help get my feelings out, I wrote an e-mail to Disney on Broadway telling them how I feel about this. However, I haven't sent it, and will probably think about it more, since sometimes spur-of-the-moment actions can be regretted. At least it helped get some of my feelings out...

What's sad is I just went out and got ice cream with a friend of my mom's (dorky, I know, but I love her) to celebrate my AP score (don't wanna talk about) and I have my road test tomorrow, and I really don't wanna be wraveled (sp?)(word?) up about it. Good thing I have the night and morning to center myself.

The only reason I have for posting this entry, really, was to say I logged on while babysitting. The kids are tucked into bed and the parents aren't coming back in for a while (?), so yeah...

I survived the AP! YESSSSSSSSS! Man, it feels so good to have that done and over with. Now to get ready for the Regents...which reminds me, I got to do the homework from the Regents RB tomorrow. In fact, here's my homework for the weekend:
Global - RB questions
Spanish - study for quiz Monday
Physics - can try last question on sheet
Math - NONE! that I know of
Theo - read chp. 11 for Wednesday, which I did =P
Choir - type up mini-speech for "Everything's Alright" and work on music
Lit - little notetaking on "The Bet"
So technically, this is how the intensity looks:
G - medium
S - medium
P - easy
M - NONE
T - NONE
C - easy
L - easy/medium
Yeah, not very bad =D

I cannot wait to see Shrek the Third. I so want to see it tomorrow, since it did come out today, but wouldn't skip school just to see it =P

Teri, I was going to ask you sometime today, but never got around to it: Free much this weekend? I would love to get together, but if you're too busy, then tell me if and when you are free. You with your theatre is always hard to get around to doing stuff.

Well, it turns out this did have some use...yay!

Sophomores, do you need some comical relief? Can you handle a fun gig of mocking Jews as a result of Avenue Q and Fiddler on the Roof merging togehter? If you answered yes to both these questions, then watch this video when you need a break from studying for the AP.



***NOTE: There is some dirty language, so it's not appropriate for little kids. I'm not saying any kids are going to want to watch this, but just to be on the safe side, at least I told you.

***NOTE: At about 5:30 more or less, there is a joke made about the president. Since some people do like him as our president, I just felt the need to give a little head's up for those that support him.

If you want, pass this on to some friends.
If you want to save this on your YouTube account, just search "Avenue Jew" and it's the second one.

Enjoy!

I've been meaning to post this, so why not now when the AP is so stressful that something like this to laugh at (if you can handle the Jewish jokes and understand the humor) can be a nice study break. It is a little lengthy, so watch it on a big study break, since it clocks in at 8 min. 17 sec. long.

i just feel like typing...so this is going to be a random post, since i'm just going to let my mind and fingers flow freely. also, my typing will be more laid back, meaning i won't really bother to capitalize much, since this isn't formal.

the reason why i'm doing this is because i just need to take a break from studying global. the class is fun, especially with ms. trost, but i always seem to get test anxiety in this subject. it's gotten to the point where i'm so relaxed that i don't feel the need to study, yet i know i need to if i'm going to do well on tests. i do know one thing's for certain: the tests are going to be the one thing that will bring my grade down. i always do well on the essays, i usually do well on the quizzes, and i always hand in homework on time. i think when it comes to the AP, the multiple choice will trip me up, while my essays turn out pretty solid. the other part that frustrates me is i've tried different ways studying for these tests, but i haven't found the key to memorizing global. the notecard trick from mrs. bonar helped me for the quizzes, but i don't think it will work well on tests, since if you don't know everything, then you aren't going to do well. also, i'm the type of person to pay attention to details, even ones that i shouldn't bother with. my typical way of studying is having mom quiz me on sections of the notes. that does work, but only on chapters i know pretty well. chapters i don't know so well, it doesn't really help. i also tried the things on the actual website for the textbook, but on my first (and only) run-throughs, i got more wrong than i did right, which only brought my self-confidence in the material down less, making me feel worse. so i really don't know the best way for me to study global is.

well, my mom just made me feel guilty for not studying, even though i don't think she really meant to. i hate it when stuff like this happens. here i go again, the waterworks are just about to burst. i'm just confused, and i don't know what to do, and ... i think i need some sleep. i've been tired this whole day. maybe that's why i'm ... man, i don't know how to say it in words.

well, thanks to mom, i think i should start studying again...why oh why does global have to be so hard? i know i'm passing, but still...sometimes i wonder if i should've just taken regents and not worry about the AP, since i don't think i'm going to get any college credit for it.
