Well this week has been really long, but really short at the same time. And I have no idea how that would ever work, but it was... And that makes no sense at all. So, I don't know. I do know that I've been kind of busy, so sorry for not posting sooner. So wanna hear about my week? Oh, yes I know you do... Let's face it, if you're reading this blog, you probs don't have much else to do. Haha. Okay so here we go:
Monday:
So Monday morning, I went on random adventures with my dad, ya know, instead of school. So I woke up an hour later than normal and went to Caribou, my dad buys something from Caribou literally every day, that seems like money that we could be saving.... And then after that we went to my orthodontist appointment. After that we went to this one little breakfast place we go to kinda often and I don't know where it is exactly... but yeah. So after that, we went down to Pontiac so I could get my tickets for AP Tour (which I'm pretty excited for). Then I went to school, and half the day was already over, I liked it. Well on Monday I also found out that my school district is in $7.5 million of a budget defecit, so they have to, ya know, come up with that much savings. And they were thinking they might make some cuts to the theatre program. And I was super pissed. So I spent my Monday evening getting the word out and trying to organize people to speak at this meeting thing the next day and to fill out a survey on this website, and support theatre and stuff. However, I could have spent a tich less of my time worrying about that, and a tich more time helping Lyndsey with some of the things she needed help with. So just in case you haven't figured it out, I was the said individual... But yeah, my self-centeredness is starting to be a problem. A BIG problem... I reallly need to work on that. And I don't think anyone expects me to change, but I should, and I don't think it would be right for me to be of the mind set that just because I've always been that way, it doesn't matter and I'll keep being that way. No, I need to change... I'll let you know how that's going....
Tuesday:
So Tuesday, I went to school, and rehearsal was canceled for the budget meeting thing. Well let me rephrase: The dance and acting rehearsals were canceled, the singing rehearsal (the one I was supposed to be at) was not, because the choir director is a cunt face. But I didn't go. I had more important things to do. So I went to this meeting thing, let me take a moment to clarify: The meeting was not just about cutting theatre's budget. It was the whole budget cut thing in total. There were about 75 items that they were looking at, theatre was only affected by 4. Okay so, I went to this meeting with the other theatre kids, and we made up about half of the people that showed up. And half of the people that spoke too. It was kind of funny how we just bombarded them with theatre, theatre, theatre, cuz we all went in a row to speak. So anyway, I was the first student called up, the first theatre speak called up, like the third person in total called up. I was a tich nervous, but good for me, I wrote down my thoughts, so I wouldn't be nervous. And I tried to add a bit of humor into it, and hopefully that worked? Okay, also let me stop to say this. Everyone knew I wanted to speak there. I was very adament that I wanted to speak. But the body language I got from everyone was "Fuck, I really hope he doesn't speak." And I don't get why. I mean, I know I wasn't the best speaker. But I didn't screw it up. I didn't make them want to cut theatre more from my speech. I mean what the fuck?! Ugh, that just really bothered me. I just want to know why everyone was so skeptical.... Anyway. So we spoke at the meeting, I think we were well received. After that I went to Nick's house. We ate pizza and really weird/awesome brownies. We played Halo. For 2 and a half hours. Haha, I felt really unproductive and lame, but awesome at the same time. I am so terrible at Halo, but I love that game. After that we started watching Mary Poppins, (yeah, you heard me, its a good movie okay?) which I had never seen before, until my mom came to pick me up.... Anyone want to finish watching that movie with me? haha.
Wednesday:
I don't remember anything particularly eventful happening on Wednesday..... I umm went to school. Went to rehearsal. And came home. Did homework........ That's probably about the extent of my Wednesday....
Thurdsay:
Pretty similar to Wednesday.....
Friday:
Well I got home from rehearsal. It was Friday night. So I start calling people trying to find out what I was going to do that night. Well, I made the discovery that I don't have that many friends. :( I was part of that one group for like two months, and I'm pretty sure I was just the Karen the whole time. (Dane Cook y/n?) I'm not invited to any of the get togethers any more. And it kinda sucks. And I hate not being part of a group. I guess I should just get over it. I have Lyndsey. And I have Bethany. And I can hang out with them without having to be a part of a group.... But still, it sucks. Oh well..... So yeah, I spent my Friday night... watching T.V.......
Saturday:
Saturday was an adventuresome day. I quite enjoyed it. I woke up and had Becca drive me to Adams to meet Sally for a can drive for Habitat for Humanity that some of the German clubbers were doing. (I just kinda went along for the ride, cuz I wanted to hang out with them) So we drove around, got cans from our friends houses, and rang doorbells of strangers to get cans and such. So we go to Busch's and find out that like a shit ton of the bottles we have aren't returnable (mainly the IBC bottles I brought from my house) so that sucked. and we ended up getting like $7... booooo. So then Paige called, who had told me that she didn't think she had any bottles when I called her, and said that she in fact, had a shit ton of bottles. So we were all like Yay! maybe another 3 bucks to round us off. So we get there. And Paige opens the garage, and there are bags of cans and bottles going up and down the side of her garage. Like $10 worth. Go her! and we also stopped at Sabrina's house to get some, and we ended up with like another $13 to make 20. That's pretty good right?.... Well it's not as horrible as $20. So then Becca dropped me off at Paige's house to hang out with her. So when I got there, we decided we should go to my house. Because it was empty, and that never happens at my house. So we played Guitar Hero and chatted, and ate a lot of Chex Mix. We decided to go meet Bethany at Caribou, so we did that and we sat there and talked for a while. While we were there Sally called us and asked to go to the Village, and we told her we'd leave soon and call her when we do. So we call her 45 minutes later, when we start heading over, but she didn't answer. So we just drive around for a while, waiting for her to call us back. When she does, we find that she is on a walk with her dog, and we come to pick her up, for we were driving around her neighborhood. So she and her dog get in the car, and we drive her the rest of the way home. She tells us to head over to the village, she'll tell her parents where she's going and follow us up there. So we get there, we sit in the Starbucks parking lot waiting for her, and then I get a text saying that she has to go out to dinner with her family and can't come. So then, we were like, "well fuck. what do we do now?" So I called Bethany again, and we went back over to her house. While there, I get a call from my mom saying that she has to come pick me up at 7:15 so that she could talk to all the kids at once. Well that could mean a lot of things. So the three of us ponder what it could be (cuz my mom wouldn't tell me on the phone) and Paige goes back home for dinner shortly after. Me and Bethany talk, at 7:15 I go home to find out what this thing is. My mom sits us all down and tells us that we are going to have regular family meetings so that we can improve our family dynamic. So I'm not sure how these are going to work out. They could be helpful, or they could be stupid and a pain. Only time will tell. After that Bethany's sister Olivia came with her to come pick me up, and take me back over to their house. I played board games with Bethany, Olivia, and her friend Lauren (who is fucking awesome, just btw) and they drove me back home later. And I watched SNL, and fell asleep. And that was my day. Thrilling huh? Well not really... but I enjoyed it... yup thats it... So hopefully this rediculously long post makes up for my lack of blogging this week?
