Holiday Season Fever
BA HUM BAH.
That is the EXACT opposite of how I feel. In fact, I am in such a giddy mood; one could fear me at this very moment. Sure the weather is crappy, it's cold, there's traffic I keep slipping on the ice...but no! I will not let it bring down my happy mood.
It's Friday and though I particularly wouldn't care, this Friday is very special because it is the start of winter break! I'm going to start off by summing up the week.
Monday:
I'm sick. Dreadfully sick. The kind of sick that required me to go to bed at 9 o'clock the previous night. I wake up quite easily, there's no struggle to get up. I am not tired but my head feels very stuffy. I went to bed at 9:40pm.
Tuesday:
My mom wakes me up at 6:15 am. I think I am dead. I can't move my body and I can't really hear anything. When she turns on the light I remember thinking "this is it" until she shakes me and asks if I am well enough to come to band. Oh the agony. Sleep is no longer my friend. I felt like a total fool for thinking I was dead. My brain was not fully awake. I still laugh at that day. Anyways, I tell my mom I am not going to band but I have to go to school because I have to prepare for chemistry. I wouldn't have gone to school if it wasn't for chemistry! It's really taken over my life. I didn't go to the band practice in the morning and I didn't go to jazz after school - that one was cancelled. I slept at 10pm I believe.
Wednesday:
Agony. First period I have a math major quiz. I finish it without any hassle. Second period I have a social studies unit final test. It was annoying. Social studies is my least favorite class. Third period I had a major gases quiz. My brain was about to explode. Not many people sympathized for me! Hey, when you are tested back to back and you're going to complain don't come to me! I went to bed pretty late. I would say 11pm or later.
Thursday:
Jazz was cancelled in the morning. We're watching Blood Diamond in social. I sit beside one of my close friends Christina, we are in deep conversation about how hot Leonardo DiCaprio is. Oh hahaha. I get my math test back the substitute had marked it wrong. I deserved more marks than I was given, I told the teacher and got my marks back! Wasn't too hard. Studied in spare and then had a MASSIVE gases final unit test in chemistry. All I can say is EW. I hate gases, solutions was a much better unit! Band practice after school.. woo hoo.. Can you sense the sarcasm? Hey we got let out at 4:30 ! That's something I was happy about... At home I baked gingerbread cookies! They turned out amazing. I also decided to make some puffed wheat squares as my friend let me try some and it was delicious! The recipe was very easy! Both my cookies and my squares turned out really tasty! I was (and still am) very happy with myself. Ask anyone who knows me, they'll tell you the same thing. I can't cook or bake to save my life. So this may seem little to you, but it's a big accomplishment for me!
Friday:
NOT ONLY IS IT THE LAST DAY OF THE WEEK, IT IS ALSO THE LAST DAY BEFORE WINTER BREAK. I can't believe how fast the year has gone by. It literally seems like yesterday was the beginning. Each class was 42 minutes or so.
Math - There were 10 kids.. and then the numbers decreased as the time passed. It was really boring so people left. I left 10 minutes before the bell and went to hang out in my friends class.
Social studies - I get 6 bonus marks JUST for showing up. Oh miracles really do happen. Hahah my best friend was ecstatic I think he was having a mini party in his head. Shocker? I wasn't invited. We finished off watching Blood Diamond BUT WE DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE END. IN FACT THE TEACHER STOPS IT RIGHT AT THE MOST DRAMATIC PART. Urgh. I hate when they do that.
Chemistry - I walk in, and I get a cupcake! Yay! He also showed us our grades and if only you could have known how nervous I was! My grade is great! Sure I don't love chemistry but I do understand it and the teacher had only positive things to say about me! Yay!
Last period- spare. Then I took the bus and went home!
I was handing out cookies to my friends today. They all loved my gingerbread, and they all loved my puffed wheat squares! It was an overall great day. Oh the holidays! How great you are ! :)
Oh and I'm not sick anymore.
I almost forgot to show you all the picture from the Coheed and Cambria interview.
Yes I know the quality sucks but I wasn't the one who took the picture and the tour bus was dark!
I did enhance the lighting, before it was so dark!

Coheed and Cambria
Let me start off by showing you this picture.
Yes, that's me, but what's that in my hand?
Remember how in October I posted about interviewing the band Coheed and Cambria? Well the interview made it to print. I was EXTREMELY happy I picked up a copy and showed my close friends. At the start of this week I was sitting in social class and I was really bored.. but then again when am I NOT bored in social? Anyways, I check my phone and I get a text from my friend. It said something along the lines of:
"OMG YOU'RE IN YOUTHINK. THAT'S AMAZING"
I was shocked! He read the magazine and found my article. He was a big fan of the band. It feels nice to get recognition for this band. None of my friends even knew who they were. My friend did and it was nice! He liked my interview haha I felt so giddy!
Today I was in the strings room and these girls (oh and this boy) came into the room. The girl immediately recognizes me and this is the convo we had
"Did you meet Coheed and Cambria?"
"Yes"
"Did you meet Claudio?"
"Yes"
"OMG I love him, Claudio's my husband"
It was really weird I will not lie. I knew the people who walked in, they are in band with me but I only really talked to two of them. They were big fans of Coheed and Cambria so they were asking every little detail about my interview. It was really sudden but very interesting! There are people who love that band and I'm just happy that my interview went well and made it's way to print! My other article didn't make it but you win some you lose some.
I won big. Got my CD signed too.
Yes it was, and it still is a big deal!
P.S.
I FOUND MY JAZZ BOOK.
It was hiding under the couch in my computer room.
Silly jazz book.
