You'd think I would get it by now

As usual, monday's suck, but I'm never nearly as depressed monday evening as on Sunday.

So, now I can offer a more worthwhile blog post. Well, at least less 'anti-climactic.'

Yeah... I'm torn on the whole Olympian Flame issue. I don't really connect with the people on it, for the most part. It's not really my scene, I guess, as odd as that sounds coming from me. But, first mod could be spent worse. All in all, it's pretty enjoyable, and I don't regret doing it. So, that begs the question... Next year or no? I dunno. Practically, I probably won't end up taking it. But, I'm still weighing it.

Chem... I feel pretty solid in there... it's always throwing me for loops, though. I think I know it, then I don't, then I do, then I don't.... Whatever. Once I get out of chem, I'll never use it again. It's not crucial that I retain it after the final.

Japanese is one of those rare classes that I don't even have a thought of reconsidering right now. I don't know what the deal after high school will be, but I have no doubt that I'm going to be taking it next year. Frankly, the language is freaking awesome, Lykins rocks so much, and it's one of those things that I'm always learning new things about, but none of it requires me to bend my brain that much. So hooray for Japanese.

Choir... The work ethic issue is getting better, in my opinion. Maybe it's just because solo and ensamble is in 12 days, but we're complaining less and working more, at least in my ensamble. Hey, we still suck ass (or kill cows as we like to say), but I guess it's the effort that counts.

English. BAH. Don't get me wrong, Galbraith is an awesome teacher, and to a certain extent he makes english enjoyable, but that can't erase the fact that I simply am not a Language Arts person. I. Hate. English Class. My God.

Geometry. I've decided that I can deal with Campbell now, and I'm good enough at the subject matter. Not my favorite class, but easy on the mind.

Theater Arts. Actually requires an element of work to do well... And focus, too. That's the difficult part, the focus. I may be smart, but if I spend any significant amount of time focused on one thing, chances are I will never want to touch it again. Fortunately, I'm not quite that bad about drama, but still, it's interesting.

So there's the classes.... none of it really worth reading, though.

My muffler is now dying. Oh yeah, a recap:

I got the truck. Really dirty. Cleaned a bunch of places.
Took interior apart, made entirely new holes for speakers and replaced speakers and stereo.
Replaced starter.
Replaced speedometer cable. (more work than it sounds like)
Remember... I have been driving since september. Sigh.
So, now I need to get my muffler replaced, cause every time I stop, it goes RRRRGGRRGHHGGRRRRGGGHHRR (or some variation of that) until I start up again. And this is really annoying at traffic lights. Also, I'll be accelerating, and it makes normal accelerating sounds, then I catch up to the car in front of me, slow down by 4 miles an hour, and THEN it shifts up. Grrrr automatic transmission. So that results in a big th-thumpJERK FORWARD when it does shift. It feels.. odd.

So yeah. Used truck. Gotta love it.

Yup. I drove my RRRRGGHHHGGRRRRRRGGRRHRR/Jerky truck to the mall, where I paid 72 cents for a cd (The Academy Is... - Almost Here). Well, not really. $10 was my prize from the talent show, $3 something was what was left on my sam goody gift card. 72 cents was out of my own pocket.

Now a sample of lyrics from my new cd.

"Why oh why d'you wear sunglasses in the home when the sun went down about an hour ago?"

Hmm. I think I'll just stop listening to the words of songs now.

All in all, though, it's good.

Anyway, that's all I can be bothered to regurgitate right now.
