Midterms and Goth Doctors with a bit of Christmas

The title of this post may make no sense since I said I pretty much love my life, but not right now, oh no.  It’s not drama, it’s much worse.  Midterms.  They’re tomorrow.  I know I’m going to fail, but I’m going to worry and complain until they’re over.  Oh I’m actually going to go study now.  So bye.

(The next day…)

Midterms were SO easy!  I completely, and I mean COMPLETELY, over exaggerated.  But I’ll get to that later.  So, school yesterday was fun up until English. 

In French, we went to the language lab and looked at random French websites.  There is this mall, and it’s underground!  And it has a movie theater which makes it a million times cooler.  But I live in the United States so that has no effect on me at all.  In Science we took our chapters 6&7  test and everyone was mad because we didn’t get to use that class to study for midterms which was the day after, so today.  In English, my teacher was mad, for the very first time.  We had this really bitchy sub who turned out to be the head of the english program at our school.  She told the groups that were filming their skits they couldn’t film because she didn’t want them in the hallway.  But instead of midterms we are performing these skits, and they needed the day to do it.  So my teacher came in yesterday and said the director lady yelled at him and embarrased him at a meeting and he kinda hates my entire class now, but he said “The only group I’m not worried about is Sarah’s group,” and I’m in Sarah’s group, so that made my day, kind of.  In Foundation Studio, which is basically Art, my friends case manager showed up and made her switch seats cause she was distracted, so me and MT had to sit alone, but we still made the best of it.

Ok, so midterms.  They were easy!  At least easier than I expected.  For physical science, everyone, no matter what level class you take, everyone’s midterms were the same.  I found that to be strange because if level 3 and level 1 have the same test, a lot of the level 3 people probably failed.  And probably, the level 1 kids studied a lot of what wouldn’t be on the test.  But there’s really not much else to say about it.

In English, we decided that when I’m Paris, I need to be goth, for no reason.  So I bought black jeans, a gray button down shirt, and a black tie.  It’s gonna be awesome, I think.  My Capulet costume that’s supposed to be a combination of Juliet’s mom and dad isn’t finished yet but my group thinks it is, and when it’s not done for Tuesday they’re all going to kill me.  Though, I kind of wish I didn’t have to be both, because I’m going to look like an idiot if I’m up there talking to myself wearing a half dress half suit outfit, with half a mustache and half lipstick and eye shadow.  I already know I’m going to look ridiculous.  At least Pond’s idea of it being a musical didn’t go through well with the rest of the group.  I’m an ok singer, but I would never sing in public unless it was with my friends and no one else could hear. 

Lately, I keep forgetting it’s only November, and I think it’s winter break.  I’ve spent this entire day in pajamas, except when I took a shower, then I put on clean ones because they were comfortable.  And during this lazy day of mine, I keep listening to the preview of the Glee Christmas album and it’s not helping with trying to get a grasp on the fact that Christmas is over a month away.  As much as I love the warm whether of summer and stuff, I love the snow.  I could spend hours just lying down in my front yard in the snow.  “For we need a little Christmas, right this very minute, candles in the window…”  I’m going to kill myself before Thanksgiving even gets here waiting for this holiday.  Now I’m in the mood for fruit cake which I’ve never even had.

TWO MORE DAYS UNTIL GLEE!  That’s not long at all, but every time I post I’m going to make one paragraph dedicated to Glee with a countdown to the next episode.  This is a special episode because this is one Kurt meets his possible boyfriend, Blaine.  Blaine sings Teenage Dream and it’s kind of awesome.  Sometimes I feel like this show is my entire life.  It actually may be, since I spend my free time looking up spoilers for it.

Hmm, music… Lately, Kesha has bene really annoying.  It seems like she always has a song on the iTunes Top 10 thing and she’s not even good.  Her songs are so autotuned it’s ridiculous.  I heard her live at the Kiss Concert, and the only reason I thought it was so good wass because she’s a good performer.  I will admit her songs are catchy, but that’s really it.  When they’re played at dances I’m not one of the kids jumping up and down.  Umm, yeah..

This post was still short for me, but I had planned to post yesterday and then my uncle was here from 8 until past midnight so I didn’t have anytime to blog, and now I’m just tired.  So expect a post Wednesday, because Tuesday is my Glee night and also I have CCD that night right during the show.

Welcome, I Guess…

*I will try to look for  new theme, I’m not sure how I feel about this one at the moment

Ok, so this is my blog…

This is not my first one, it’s my third.  The only reason I make new blogs is because after I forget about one, I feel it’s necessary to make another.  Well, the only reason I made my first blog in general was too write about my previously terrible life.  I used to like, have no friends.  After 6th grade I made several good ones.  And then after that I just kinda hated my life up until this year.  I’m currently in 9th grade, so a freshmen in high school.  It’s fun, I guess.  Definitely the most fun I’ve ever had any of my years in school.  Anyway, I guess I’ll say a bit about myself.  My name is Matt, and I am 14.  I’m not much of a reader.  I really like murder mysteries, but besides that, I don’t really read unless it’s for an assignment.  My favorite tv show is Glee.  I’m addicted.  If I make references or use quotes here, I apologize.  My addiction for Glee as a show also goes for music.  They’re songs are really good.  I prefer their versions of songs over then the original because they are more modernized.  Also, I’m one of those people who are extremely self conscious and has no self-esteem.  I’m not dumb, or ugly, I just don’t have confidence in myself, I guess.  There’s not too much to say…I guess as I continue to (hopefully) post, you’ll learn more about me.

School is pretty much the main focus of my life right now.  It’s no where as close to as hard as I expected though.  The middle school teachers make us think it’s going to be a living hell x34526656734, but it’s really not.  And even if it is, it’s not because of the work, it’s because of drama, and honestly, there hasn’t been much of that either.  Actually, besides the slightly larger work load this year, the work itself actually seems easier.  I’m in Level 1 English, or what my teachers calls “AP Freshman English.”  That is by far the easiest class I am taking.  I am extremely creative, so when we write essays I always get some little side note saying something like “Very descriptive!” or something else relating to that.  Actually, in English right now, instead of mid-terms, we are doing skits about Romeo and Juliet.  My group (which we chose) was given Act 5, where about half the people in the play die.  Ours is “loosely” based off Romeo and Juliet.  It takes place in a hospital.  There are two wings in the hospital for the two family’s, Montague and Capulet, and almost all of them are sick in some way.  For example, I play both of Juliet’s parents, but it’s one character.  Before I go on, has anyone seen Victor/Victoria?  You know, with Julie Andrews?  Yes, no?  Well, anyway, Juliet’s parents will be skitsofernic and I will be wearing a half dress have suit costume I am making myself, which is coming out quite nicely, actually.  ANYWAY, I have to like turn my body around when they talk to each other, it’s going to be epic.  Yes, I say epic.

That’s really it for now.  I’ll post more about school and my life in general when I have the time.  This was really not a good post, but I mean, it’s a start, right?
