Work it harder make it better move it faster makes us stronger

Long time no talk! I got a job at Dominicks...it's awesome [= i work a lot though but it's ok, the paycheck pays off. School has been awesome, haven't posted in a long time...art is goood, band is goood, my band is goood, we're all good. [=

I'm Still a Rockstar and I don't need you

What an eventful weekend. Friday Alisa and I hung out and went to go see the new Twilight movie. Now, I'm not one of those Twilight addicts, but I enjoy the movies...and it actually was really good, much better than the first one. We went to get blackjack tacos, got icecream from meijer, then went back to taco bell to get more black jack tacos. It was a very successful night, especially because we defeated this impossible level on kingdom hearts. So we ended up going to bed at 3 a.m., woke up at 9:30, rehearsed for band till 12, then were apart for an hour, worked out, were apart for another hour, then had band practice haha. Which was quite successful because we recorded a song, but just not professionally...yet [=
The next day, me and Alisa went to woodfield and shopped around. There's a lot of weird fashion trends...and weird people...in this world. Then she came over later and we played some nintendo, gamecube, and just did a bunch of that jazz, plus practicing a new song for our band.
Then YESTERDAY was just awesome. We went downtown with Jan and Sam, and it was a blast. We got lost twice, but besides that, we did awesome. A lot of weird things in the city, too, haha. We ate at Uno's with my cousin and her bf and it was all yummy except the service sucked. And then today I have no further plans, but just be excited because on monday when we get back to school....instead of chemistry.....I'LL BE IN ART!
They finally approved my request, w00t! <3

Hate is a strong word, but I really really really don't like you.

There's a fine difference between wanting to drop a class because you don't need it, or because you're just too lazy to try to complete it and are failing it.

I'm in chemistry because last year my counselor told me I would need it. However, I found out at the begining of the year that since I have already taken Biology and Physics, I really DON'T need chemistry, colleges just like to see the 3rd year of a science on record.

So I went to get a drop form at the begining of the school year, and they gave me a hard time about it, so I didn't bother trying to drop and I figured I'd give it a shot.


Well, I stay in it for all the term, and 2 weeks before the term ends, I really realize that I don't understand the class at all, and I would rather take a class that would have to do with ART so I can get into an ART school...and my dad agreed that would be fine.

So I get the drop form, and not only does my chemistry teacher give me a hard time about wanting to drop, but she tries to tell me I'd be stupid to drop and that her son goes to the Art Institute and that he's having a hard time in chemistry right now. Do I care? No. So she tells me that the main science head guy will come find me and talk to me.

A WEEK goes by. And he never found me. So even my chemistry teacher is angry, and on finals day after the test I went and talked to him. He tried to tell me this garbage that the real artists get money drawing for chemistry books and that's where I need to take chemistry so that I know what I'm drawing inside and out....a bunch of garbage. I couldn't say it to his face of course, so I just kinda sat there and was like, uh huh...yeah, sure, totally understand...and then he tried to make it seem like I was gonna change my mind about being an artist..which clearly I wasn't. A bunch of garbage. I also don't fit the criteria to drop the class because I was getting a B+...because I memorized everything, didn't understand anything. And the main science guy was just like, well your GPA doesn't matter to colleges, ya da ya da..and I wanted to interrupt so badly and be like, uh, my DRIVING INSURANCE cares, idiot...

So then I go back to my chemistry teacher and she's like, yeah so there's nothing I can do about it, told you you would need a third year of college. And I tell her that I want to go to the ART INSTITUTE, not some normal school and major in art. And she turns to me and she's like, "And how do you know you'll be able to afford going to the art institute?" And I instantly got pissed off. It's not YOUR place to tell me if I can afford going to a college or not.

So because people at that school don't know how to respond to e-mails, my dad has been trying for two 1/2 weeks to get a hold of this main counselor, who has sent out stuff to all of jacobs within the last week, but yet hasnt responded to my dad's 3 e-mails. So parent teacher conferences are going to be SO interesting.

And plus, now my chemistry teacher acts like a jerk to me just because I tried to drop the class and failed at it. So now, I'm determined to just act like a jerk to her as much as possible.
