School is NOT cool

As the title suggests, I'm not really enjoying school. Maybe I was just spoiled last year 'cause it was so great, but I mean really? So far, it's been ridiculous.

First of all, my seminary class has, no joke, 57 people in it. Fire safety allows only about 36. There aren't even enough seats. And there's absolutely nothing I can change on me schedule to get out of it.

Then, in my stupid AP classes, my best friend and I have opposite block schedules. If things had gone as it was originally planned on my schedule, we'd have the same one. But no, the office decided to change it. I'm still in the process of seeing if I can fix that.

Now, you may be thinking "Shauntel, that's not so bad. There's only a few things wrong." And to that I say "Wrong!" Because when it comes to something I have to spend the next 8 months with, I'd like it to be darn near perfect. Wouldn't you?

But like I said, maybe I'm spoiled. Maybe because sophomore year was so fabulously perfect, this is what I deserve. *Sigh* Lovely.

But I digress. There are some good things. Like choir. Choir's good. And my Spanish class, one of the classes I was worried about, is actually kind of fun.

I'm still angry though.

It's been a while since my last life update. The reason? Well, nothing too out of the ordinary has really occurred. So, I'll just give you a list of some of the more mundane or semi-exciting things.

My choir concert was last Tuesday! Although we didn't get to sing some of the songs I was especially excited for, it still went really well.

More final projects for school were due this week than next week. Which I actually find rather odd but whatever. One of the more interesting projects was that we had to write some sort of book for my biology class. I wrote the "Children's Color and Activity Book of Disturbing Diseases and Conditions" in alphabetical order. I actually succeeded in grossing out my dad.

(Many might wonder: Why disturbing diseases and conditions? Why not just stick with diseases? Well the answer to that comes because of a good ol' pal I like to refer to as the letter "Q". He has nothing to add to the disease department. Even my generally useless friend "X" was more helpful than him. So quadriplegia was my only option.)

I've decided that although I'm fairly good at it, I will never be an architect. For my stupid geometry class, our final project is that we have to graph out a net design of a famous/historic building and then actually build it. My group chose the depressingly easy Washington Monument. It's easy, almost too easy, but seriously, I'm not enjoying it. This is why I'll grow up and write gross-out children's books.

My Choir Field Trip!

So tomorrow I'm leaving on my choir field trip! And it's going to be totally awesome!! And as you can tell by the excessive amounts of exclamation points, I'm ecstatic!

Basic rundown of what will be occurring:

We'll be traveling all day tomorrow...
We'll be going to Disneyland on Thursday...
We're going to the beach on Friday and then participating in a competition...
And then we're going home on Saturday.

So yeah, I'm pretty much excited.

So, lots of things have happened in the days I haven't updated. But, I'll just stick with today and one major event of this weekend and get to everything else some other time.

First of all, I hurt my head. See, I stood up to fast and hit my head on my dad's shelf in his office. Not only was it bruised, it was bleeding. So now, I have a large cut on my forehead. It's healing surprisingly quick though. It's probably be gone in a week.

And today, we had this choir party thing. It was really fun. We ate lots of food (really yummy food!), looked at some pictures from our field trip (which I still need to write about), and were given awards. I received the "Musical Aptitude" award. It's because I got the highest score in the class, by ten percent, on this "music aptitude" test thing. It basically shows your natural ability. I had gotten an 86%.

Anyway, I'm tired now but I'll try to update tomorrow!
