So we sailed our boats during Physics class today. It was really fun watching everyone in their boat. It was even more fun watching people sink. All in all, our boat did really well. Everyone was surprised at what we brought in since it actually looked like a boat and not just an enlarged rectangle with walls like everyone else's. I'm sure everyone was just as surprised to see it not sink.

There's more band director drama. Ok, so over the break he made an appearance on Monday at the color guard rehearsal. A friend in the guard told me that they saw him clearing out stuff, he was quite pale, and that he was talking to them like he was leaving. Of course, band gossip travels faster than the speed of light so pretty much the whole band knew and was excited by the possibility of him leaving. But, during 2nd period today he made an appearance to meet with the principal. It just so happens that a band person works in the main office during 2nd period so he told someone and then they told someone, and by the end of lunch everyone knew about the meeting. in band class the assitant director was telling us about the meeting and such, and he didn't seem to pleased. He started going off on a tangent talking about how much he cared for us and not to let anyone stop us from being succesful and things like that. During that tangent, he started to tear up. Now, our assistant director is a semi-pro football player/personal trainer/percussion instructor/assistant band director, so it's natural to be sort of surprised to see someone as buff as he is tearing up in front of us. On top of that, he was talking like he was never going to see us again after this year (implying that he would quit if the head director is still here next year) which put most people in a shitty mood. OH! I forgot to mention that more shit was added to our already shitty mood when we learned that the head director said that he was going to come back to work tomorrow. The weird thing though is that he can only work for half of the day because he was sick or something (he has a doctor's note to prove it too) so his work day is now from lunch to the end of the day which means he teaches 5th period (color guard), 6th (band), and 7th (nothing) while he assitant stays the whole day and heads the classes before lunch which is only the jazz band class. So yea, who knows how tomorrow will transpire as far as band goes. If he doesn't show up I'm going to laugh.

I'm off to study for German. We have a quiz over vocabulary words that are super long. Not to mention that I also have to write a US History DBQ essay (although, it's with a partner so it'll be somewhat easier) and an ADQ essay in English tomorrow. I'm not too excited about that.

Oh, the rooms for the spring trip have been finalized (I'm assuming). I'm officially in a room with Ramen, Alex and Ash (sophomore percussionist). I can't wait. It's in 22 days. :D

Guess the song! I'm sure those that read this can get at least one or two of these right. I hope. <_<
I'll start off easy.

1. Mother make me gold again again again again
It was us and you and him you you and him
And each of us were golden
Like sunset on my childhood curtains

2. Shedding tears for affairs
I’m a funny little thing
I can tell you this for nothing
Affairs don’t win

3. I still feel you and the taste of cigarettes
What could I ever run to
Just tell me it's tearing you apart
Just tell me you cannot sleep

4. All I wanna hear is everything, alright
Cause I left my mind in the airport
My thoughts in a taxi
My heart in reception
The last thing I saw was you

5. Stop, turn, take a look around,
at all of the lights and sounds,
let them bring you in..
Slow, burn, let it all fade out,
and pull the curtain down,
wonder where you've been.

Now for some harder lyrics

6. You're sitting at home now
Waiting for your brother to call
I saw him down at the alley
Having had enough of it all
Elliott Smith - Big Ballad of Nothing (sweet_peas3636)

7. Orange for the vineyards,
Blue is for the rivers,
Green goes like a hillside covered now,
White is not surrender
Despite what you've been told;

8. The weight of the world
And the hurt and the dirt
Can make you disturbed
But I heard, but I heard
When I wrap my arms around you
Every mistake we made crumbles
When I wrap my arms around you
Everything echoes a new song

9. I’ve seen you dancing like no one was looking.
Beneath the fullest moon.
Oh some day soon.
I’m gonna find all the things I’ve been yearning for.
Are you coming too?

10. This is how it works
It feels a little worse
And when we drove our hearse
Right through that screaming crowd
While laughing up a storm
Until we were just bone
Until it got so warm
That none of us could sleep

11. I said I don’t get out too much I said
She said you said I said two times instead
I said oh please please please no, you're just not funny ya know

12. I wish i'd see your face below
I wish i'd hear you whispering low
But you don't live downtown no more
And everything must come and go

13. That's nice, forgive me for last night
If you haven't noticed
I'm your worst boyfriend - right
You know it
I can't dance and I hate your parents
And what's with your brother, he sees right
Through my shtick

14. Down and down he'd go
How low no one would know
Sometimes the good life wears thin

15. Sore wa samui fuyu no hi no asa
Boku no tameiki wa tegami ni natte
Kimi no heya no mado wo tataku
the pillows - The Scar Whispers, Nobody Is In Paradise or Kizuato No Sasayaki (sweet_peas3636)
(haha, I had to)

Have fun! :D

It feels so good to be pretty much done with making that boat for Physics. It works pretty well too. Our group (sans Ramen who's in France) met today and put the finishing touches on the cardboard and duct tape boat and tested it out in the pool. It floats pretty well, but the back end was sinking a little bit. We added some more cardboard to that part to help remedy that. Hopefully come race day we'll do awesome and blow everyone else's boats away. Ours actually looks like a boat. In past years the project has been done people have been sailing in box looking things.

I wanna work in a theme park when I get in college. I bet it'll be fun. Ever since I went to Orlando for the band trip last year working at a theme park has always interested me. I'd have to go to school in a town with a theme park though (like LA, San Antonio, Dallas, etc.) It seems possible though. Most of the people that work at theme parks (at least at Six Flags) are of college age anyway so it'll be fun meeting new people like that and such.

I have pictures of the boat from my phone, but I'm too tired to upload them. : |

So today I went to a friend's house to work on a physics project where we make a boat only using cardboard and duct tape. I didn't really feel like going since I have this mentality of not working at all during Spring Break. But, it has to be done, and I haven't been to any of the other group meetings because of Into The Woods. Anyway, we pretty much completed the prototype. There still needs to be some more cardboard taped on to the back i think, and we need to test run it in a pool. Afterward, I went with my mom to get a saxophone so I can start learning. The first time playing was kinda hard. I think I have how to set the embouchure down so I'll try to honk out some more notes tomorrow.

I should scan my rodeo ticket. I'll do it tomorrow when my sister is asleep since the scanner is in her room.
