I'm baaack :)

Sorry it's been so long that I've written anything. Do I have lots to talk about? Eh, I mean I could probably cram a bunch of shit in here, but I don't feel like it and I'm sure no one would care to read it.

Today was my first day back to school from Spring Break. Three letters:

W
T
F

I'm so ready to be done with this garbage. It's remarkable how 7 hours can feel like an eternity. But all in all, today turned out to be a good day because Melisse has decided to go to FSU with me! :D

Also, I had a job interview today and it turns out that by next week I'll be an employed worker for Joanne's Fabrics. :D

So I think that today, I won.

Winner

So last Thursday my friend Melisse was named as a winner of the Scholastic Art and Writing Competition (that contest I was talking about earlier). For those that don't know, it's kind of the biggest competition in art for people our ages. She and I both one Gold Keys (highest honor) at the local level, and then they go on to be judged in New York at the national level. They chose two photography portfolios to be given Gold Keys at the national level, and hers was chosen as number one. For this she gets:
-10,000 dollars
-A free trip to New York to do workshops and meet other artists
-Her work displayed in Carnegie Hall

It's amazing, that she received such an award, and I'm really proud (jealous) of her.

When I told my mother the news her exact words were: "Oh that's great! I guess you didn't win then..." Good ol' mom, boosting the confidence daily. :)

I was robbed!

Today people found out whether or not they won a senior superlative (Best Smile, Most Attractive, Biggest Slut, etc). I was up for Most Artistic and the given, Best Dressed. Since Freshman year I've payed close attention to what I've worn, and I can honestly say I've never "scrubbed" to school or really anywhere for that matter. I don't even own sweatpants. I wear a tie everyday. I wear shoes a size to tight. I haven't worn blue jeans in about a year.

Well, I was voted Most Artistic, and that was nice because I didn't expect to actually get it. I didn't, however, win Best Dressed. I kind of figured I wouldn't though. I got the feeling that the Universe was planning some cosmic irony, and it's all kind of a popularity contest. While I'm a well known guy and well enough liked, I'm not really popular.

Oh well, I guess I'm not bothered really. As someone reminded me "We'll all know who the real best dressed is." Whateva, whateva. I guess I'll go get those sweatpants now... (No, no, no. Never. Ever.)

School Sucks

So I'm sitting in yearbook (it was an accident, don't judge) with nothing to do, so I figured I'd come on here. It's freezing, but I guess it's not as cold today as it was yesterday as the day before. Btw, freezing in Florida means 45 degrees.

I guess the good thing about the weather is that I can wear more layers and stuff, and finally wear some of my scarves and gloves. I just got out of Psychology. It's an AP class but it's still kind of retarded. Today the teacher had to spell out 'K-N-O-W' for us, just in case we forgot the difference between 'no' and 'know.' All of our homework in that class is dumb too. Not because of the actual work assigned, but just because she gives us the answers and I don't know, it's just silly.

Now Isabella's mad at me because I'm not paying attention to some story she's telling me. I guess I'll write again later today.

Back to School

Today was the end of winter break and the first day of school. It wasn't so horrible, it just kind of seemed to last forever. And ever.

Actually, it only seemed long during the first two periods, (Art and Government respectively). After that it kind of went by fast enough.

I went home and went to sleep. The routine starts again.
