GOODNIGHT!!!!

I have no clue what I'm doing as far as my math homework goes, so I'm calling it quits for the night. I give up.

On the bright side, the biggest parts of my homework are now finished. I still have to read some Macbeth and do a bunch of Stats problems. It could be worse for me though. It's tech week right now, so all the kids in the play right now are just getting home and on to their homework. I really dodged a bullet there. I still miss theater though.

That awkward moment where you forget to change all your fonts

I had the joy of sitting through a horribly obnoxious video on homosexuality. It just made me pretty angry, except for the fact that it stated that homosexuals need to be treated with kindness and love. Overall, it just struggled to get that message out early on. For over three fourths of the video, there was an emphasis on how going to church "gave them everything the gay lifestyle could not." It was just kinda shifty.

And as far as the Kanye West Quest goes, I think Late Registration is tied with Graduation for my second favorite album. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy always wins. It's easily in my top 3 favorite albums of all time.

Today as a whole wasn't too bad. Nothing really bad happened except I rolled my ankle and got an asston of homework. I have more to do tonight than I've had on my plate for the past two weeks! On the bright side, I'm kinda ahead of schedule because I accidentally turned in two assignments early. 
Right now things are pretty hectic at home because Election Day is tomorrow. I'm confidant, but it's still pretty nerve-wracking. After all, this guy is trying to take my dad's job. When he first got appointed, he had to throw out all of his clients because he can't practice as an attorney as a judge, so it would be beyond difficult for him to start from scratch. It's scary...

Goodnight!

Oops turns out my mom doesn't like the thought of me listening to rap music

I mean it's not like I'm not 17 and able to see rated-R movies without a parent's permission or anything. It's not like I'm constantly cussing around her, smoking weed, drinking, or being a bad kid in general or anything. It's not like I'm going to be off to college in about 9 months or anything. It's not like I'm gonna keep listening to it anyways or anything. I'm glad she didn't walk in during Yeezus though.

Kanye West Quest

Right now I'm a third of the way into The College Dropout. Tomorrow I plan on doing Late Registration and end the night with 808s and Heartbreak. I'm blazing through his discography on this Kanye Quest. I think when I'm done with Kanye's discography I'll do Childish Gambino's and Tyler the Creators, and , maybe Juicy J's. I don't think I'll ever have enough time to get through all of Jay Z's, Wu Tang, NWA, or other older acts. I do love 80's and 90's rap, though. Rap is brilliant depending on the rapper.

Oops I'm still not done with my homework

oops I have no clue what I'm doing

Also, my goal in life is to say "Hurry up with my damn croissants" to somebody.

I'm back on my Kanye pilgrimage, and today I' listening to Yeezus. There's more anger in it. I think each Kanye album can be summed up with one emotion. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy would be melancholy, and Graduation would be hope/awe. It's hard to name, but it's definitely something you feel.

At least I was able to finish my English homework pretty quickly. Every little bit helps!

Now I have to catch up on all of my homework, and needless to say I'm not really in the mood for that. 

My Trip to Chicago

So on Thursday night my mom and I drove out to Chicago. It's really a wonderful city. The hotel was beyond shmancy! There were all sorts of gorgeous ballrooms and the lobby was very modern and swanky. We were on the 17th floor and had a great view of the John Hancock Building from our room.

On Friday morning, we took the L up to Loyola. As far as public transportation goes, the L is quite excellent. It's very clean and well-maintained, plus you get a great view of the city. Loyola was a nice school, and I think I'm going to apply there. I didn't like it as much as DePaul, but I could still see myself enjoying the school a lot. The weather on Friday was absolutely horrible. It was snowing/hailing on and off throughout the day, windy, and miserably cold. It made it a lot more difficult to do the tour of Loyola's Lakeshore campus. Their Water Tower campus was pretty nice as well, but once my mom and I got to our tour of DePaul's College of Computing and Digital Media, it became irrelevant.

Oh. My. GOODNESS THE CDM COLLEGE WAS FLAWLESS!!!! There was all sorts of amazing equipment and technology. It reminded me a lot of the New York Film Academy. They had a library for renting out cameras, a stop-motion animation lab, two normal animation labs, a few small theaters for screening movies, a soundstage, a sound designing recording studio full of things for making your own sounds, several editing labs, and more. Plus, they have a partnership with one of  the largest studios outside of LA and have an even bigger soundstage there! Seeing all of that really moved it up to my first choice after that. It'd be a phenomenal opportunity for me!

Last night my mom and I drove home, and I'm already looking forward to heading back to Chicago.

Goodnight!!!!

I also miss working. I'm going to call in once I'm done turning in all my college apps and stuff, which should be within the next two weeks. I miss the friendly people, getting a great paycheck, and getting a ton of great shoes and experience and stuff. Getting the time off has been nice, but now that I've gotten well adjusted to school I think I'm ready to go back. Especially since I'm not doing the play. 

Speaking of things I miss, I really miss improv. Just 9 more weeks until I'm able to go back...

Well, I at least studied for my AP Bio quiz tomorrow so I don't fail that class and start the quarter off terribly. I'm going to relax a little more this quarter as far as schoolwork goes. Now that I'm finding my niche with friends, I'm not nearly as stressed. it helps that I haven't had a ton of homework yet either.

I mean I have listened to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy for the billionth time this week...

I have done literally nothing tonight and I can't complain! Woohoo...

10/29/14

Today was kinda unique. We had the chastity speaker come in today. Overall it wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be, but there was still a LOT of stuff that I just don't agree with. All anyone could talk about for the rest of the day was this speaker.

Goodnight!

I'm starting to feel ill, so I'm calling it a night. Sleep tight!

10/28/14

Today, for once, was HIGHLY eventful. First, my friend is officially leaving the Catholic Church after the discussion we had in Morality class, then my friend had a seizure, then we had three fire drills because a student pulled the fire alarm twice immediately after the original fire drill. This is the first time in ages that somebody actually did that. I mean come ON, if you're in high school you shouldn't be pulling the fire alarm, that student needs to grow up.
