That which I hold in my hand is more valuable than gold.
You know what I mean – a ticket to see Star Wars: Episode II tomorrow night, seven o’clock.
Okay, so it’s not really in my hand. It’s in my wallet, which is in my back pocket. So it’s touching my ass. Isn’t that enough?
Also in my wallet is a bass pick from Fighting Gravity’s bassist. They played a show at school today during assembly, and it was very cool. Their live show that I saw last spring was better, but for an assembly with teachers and all, it wasn’t bad. Probably the best assembly of the year.
Lessee…what else is going on? Not much, oddly. I need to start succeeding in French or I’m screwed…but that’s nothing new. I’m still three Math tests behind, but that’s nothing new. I’m two French quizzes behind, which is also nothing new.
We have seven school days left.
This is both good and bad; on the one hand, it’s almost summer!! On the other, that means that exams are really, really close. And I only have three to be worried about…but I have three exams that I should have started studying for LAST MONTH.
We’ll see how that works out.
I have something to be excited about for the next three days, which makes me happy. It’s Deadline this week, so I have that every night to look forward to. I’m a columnist this year, and I get along really well with almost everyone else on the staff. So Deadline is as much fun as usual, which is actually quite a surprise. Sure, we’ll miss the seniors, but the sophomores are nifty. And we’ll all miss David.
God that’s depressing. I still get upset even thinking about the fact that he’s not coming back next year. I mean, he’s been my coach for five years, my Match advisor for three, and my friend for…well, long enough for me to know that I’m really going to miss him. I really can’t explain why his departure upsets me so much more than that of everyone else. I just sort of assumed he was always going to be there, and that he’d see our team win States next year. Because we will win.
Someday I’ll write up all about how I feel about him and his leaving. But not right now…I’d rather not depress myself.
So what was I saying? Oh yes. Things to look forward to. Tomorrow night, obviously, is STAR WARS. And I couldn’t be more excited. It’s gonna be me and Johnny and Andrew and James, and it’s gonna ROCK.
Friday is Friday, which is reason enough to celebrate. Beyond that, though, I’ve got work, which is always fun on Fridays, and I’ll be working with John, who I’ve not seen in a while.
Saturday is Prom, which, as I’ve stated, I’m excited about. Josh gets into town at four, which means I’ll have to entertain him until seven, when Travis shows up. Carter’s going with him, so she can help me with the entertainment, but it may be a little…err…awkward. Whatever; I’ll work around it. It should be fun. This may be the most I’ve looked forward to a dance…well, ever. Awesome.
Then Sunday’s gonna suck because I’ll have to catch up on everything I missed while I was moviegoing and working and dancing. But it’s actually allright, because I’ll have had the moviegoing and working and dancing experience to look back on and grin. And then we’re in the home stretch of the 2001-2002 school year.
So anyway, not much else is new. Except for Maladroit, the new Weezer CD. As soon as I have cash, I’ll have that in my possession too. Provided I have anything left after an $8 movie ticket and $10 for prom tickets. Sigh.
Oh well. I’m making new friends, redefining myself again, and actually starting to look forward to summer when I’ll have time to cement these friendships. Or we’ll grow apart again. I hope not. I like having people that I can relate to and hang out with without getting pissed off. It’s been so long since I’ve been genuinely pissed at my friends…it’s nice.
I hope it lasts.
