Life of a Peeb

i’m so behind on my text posts. i haven’t blogged at all about reema’s party or the band concert or my crazy science project, but stuff just gets in the way. i’ll probably end up making some super late post in july, because i’ll have time to sleep then. i haven’t had dinner with my family these past few days, nor will i for the rest of the week….stupid May. 

but i will take a bit of time to marvel in the fact that high school students are pretty indestructible. for example, today i made it through PE, 2 hours of math, an in class essay, 2 hours of french, 2.5 hours of chamber rehearsal, pervy freshmen, and a choir concert, on 5.5 hours of sleep, after finishing possibly the biggest science project of my existence and a band concert. 
and there are kids who do way more than me and have ap testing and relationship problems, and i don’t know. it’s crazy how resilient humans are. people are always going around about how incredible the military or policeman or fire fighters are (not that they aren’t, they’re awesome) but take a look at your average high school student and chances are they will be working just as hard. 

because i haven’t been on tumblr since my sister is home. 

• this week was actually pretty taxing, or at least it felt like it. all dem rehearsals, labs (schneck is insane), projects, tests, yadadadadadadadadadadada. blegh.
• so my dad is out of town this week, which means i have to walk to school. but tuesday i forgot that i had to walk and didn’t give myself enough time, so i ended up sprinting to school. and then wednesday i overslept (and missed zero period, heh) and had to sprint to school too. i woke up thursday morning and it was like oh someone cut off my legs this morning. 
• schneck’s labs will make me go insane. also, they show that there is zero brain activity in my class.
  *guy comes up to our table, sees flask with colored solution in it that is obviously in use*
  “Oh hey, i need a flask. Can i have this one?”
  NO. THAT IS FROM SOMEONE’S LAB STATION. YOU MAY NOT TAKE IT. GO TO THE CABINET AND GET A FLASK.
• accepted into hamlit. under the name “Brenda Liu”. 
• speaking of name confusions, i also got excused for a field trip on accident (Brenda was going on a field trip for leadership). 
• dance moms life with alice.
• “Alors telephonez moi peut-etre!” NO. dis french group.
• found out that i am the first to perform in the concerto concert. titsmcgee.

everyday.

let’s see….

STAR testing

• according to the test, terra cotta warriors are “totally swank”. i wonder who’s idea it was to put that on there…
• extra time after test = no need to do homework at home
• got trolled by schneck on the math test. he was calling out what level of math people were supposed to take (alg 2 or “summative math”, basically for precalc students). when he got to me though, he’s all ”Whoa, Belinda, why does it say that you’re supposed to take geometry?”. and the WHOLE class went dead silent. i was a little weirded out at first, but then i was staring him down and i could tell he was trolling. 
  the nice part though, was afterwards when he was joking about the dead silence. “The class is all, whoa, the smartest kid in the class is taking geometry?”. smartest kid in the class? holla.

Diving HAALs

• dressed up as a gangsta, complete with sagging pants and a blinged out “B” pendant. scared the pants off of a lot of people, especially evan and david. but marching while sagging is not the business.
  best part of the day was when i was walking down the hall and had an awkward stare down with a group of guys who actually dressed like that. 
• spent herra time trying to find the guys. -__-
• got a 246! new personal record. not enough to go to NCS, but it did put me in second place. :)
• went to mimi’s afterwards, and asked for coloring sheets. pretty good food, kinda overpriced, but i did mooch off of phillip and ate claire’s salad. also got pwned by lydia in hangman. 

Rowell Parade

• so much sweat. omg. 
• free food. 
• avoided horse poop. SUCCESS!

• supah hot

PE:

• home run, hollaaaaaaaaaa

History:

• so the same chick who complimented me on my shoes a few weeks ago (and who hadn’t spoken to me since 6th grade before that, after finding that i was too weird to hang out with at PE) had complimented me on a dress. and today i wore the same dress, only with a different belt, and she comes up and she’s all “You have so many cute dresses!”. and on the outside i’m like, oh thanks, but on the inside it was like “I LIED. IT’S THE SAME DRESS.

Precalc: meh

Chem:

• Schneck decided to take us outside and burn stuff with a huge magnifying glass because of reasons.
  “Mr. Schneck, is this legal?”
  “….no.”
• also found out that he has bachelor’s degree in biology. not chemistry. biology.

ASE:

• found out my lit circle group: Felix and Nangha. not going to lie, i’m not excited. 

Band:

• marched in the sun. for an hour. i’m pretty sure i got 3 shades darker. and we’ve got 2 hours tomorrow……..

French:

• trying to copy vocab from the board+falling asleep= unintelligible scribbles.

Jazz:

• some pretty boss dancing with kate and anthony. we got dem jazz hands going on.
• considering how worn i was after a 2hr jam session without me playing the whole time, i’m a little worried about the dinner dance…..
• dice is so boss. omg. she out blows the whole trombone section.
• “Who wants the noodle at the end?”
  “Kate does! She’s Italian, she loves noodles!”
• started wailing blueberry hill with the trumpets while playing. no one noticed except ashley. 
• i feel all warm and fuzzy when ms. meyer compliments me.  :D
