Ow. My ears hurt. More on that later.

Today was an awesome day..just having nothing to do all day rocked. Woke up late, hung around the house until about 12, when Chris and John E. picked me up. We went and got our tuxes(one week ’til prom!) and then me and Chris went and ate at Applebees. After that, came home, gamed a little, ate dinner, then went out to the grad party…Andrew came by with Maja and we all went together. It was a rocking time there…I do love to dance. But I’m obviously not experienced enough with loud music…when we walked out about half an hour ago, my ears were ringing. And they still are. Anyway, great time there. That sums up my day…two more days of awesomeness…and then school.

Wow, the last few days have been so busy…but in an awesome way. I really should have updated sooner, just never got around to it ’til now.

Thursday started off with brain bowl…went to MOSI at around 8. brain bowl was really fun, surprisingly. Unlike last year, in which we lost the first two rounds, Gaither’s team advanced to the fourth round before we were knocked out…on a tiebreaker. We should have won, but we choked. Meh. It was still fun. Joey Gibney’s mousetrap cars rocked, beating almost all of the mass-produced kit cars. And I learned that ap chemistry is good for something..the chemistry equations competition wasn’t that bad at all. But, didn’t win. The best part of Brain bowl was the food, though…they brought in Pizza Hut…best pizza ever. 

Finally got home at about 3:15 or so, and about five minutes later, Amy called…I had forgotten that I was supposed to pick her up for calc help. Oops. Well, my mom and I went over to her house and got her. At my house, tutoring ensued. Or not. Surprisingly, we get quite distracted trying to do math…I think we did two problems. Was great fun just talking and talking…after dinner, me, Amy, and my sister went over to see Midsummer Night’s Dream. Was totally AWESOME!! I must admit, that was one of the best(probably was the best) play I have seen at GHS(or anywhere, since I haven’t seen plays anywhere besides GHS). Chris, Jess, and everyone else in it…you all rocked…hard!! Thursday was just a magnificent day…even though brain bowl exhausted me…well, the afternoon and evening more than made up for it.

Friday was ok. At least the first part. The evening was awesome. In third and fourth periods, had a massive calc test. Fifth period, had a chem test. Wow, was I dead after that. That fried me for the rest of the day, so when I got home, had to take a nap to recharge. And then…Madrigal! Me and my mom went to Madrigal(put on by Chamberlain). Amy was in it…and naturally, she was amazing…amy, you’re awesome. The food was very, very good…but the best part was the singing! Act 1(the premier chorus of CHS) put on quite a show…I had a simply exquisite time listening…nothing better than to listen to good music, eat good food… Me and my mom were sitting at a table with amy’s parents, so we talked with them most of the time…they seemed pretty nice. Afterwards, Amy came and we all talked for a little while, until soon she had to go get changed, so I escorted her to the changing room, then me and my mom left. Was just an incredible evening…

Today didn’t compare at all with the previous two days. Did calc homework for most of the day, until tonight, when I went over to Andrews for gaming fun. Played Halo with him, Chris, Craig, Jason, Eddie, Zach, and Rachel. Maja was there, too, but she “doesn’t play video games”. Much homocidal fun ensued.

And now, it’s late and I’m tired…I just had to chronicle the past few days’ events…enjoy the update. One more week…and it’s AP time! And no more homework…EVER. Or, at least for high school.

G’night, all!

Wow, first night of Spectrum is over…and it was totally awesome. It’s such a different experience, performing in front of so many people…some people do it all the time. But this was totally new for me…and I loved it.

Our small group’s song was the third number, so it was nice to get that done right away…and I think it went pretty well! Steve said he went sharp, but he’s always hard on himself…and my mom(very good singer) didn’t notice, so that was ok. Every other song was awesome – just being there, performing, was incredible. I can’t wait for tomorrow night!! Even though I will be glad, in a way, when it’s over. My family and some friends from church were there…and they loved it. I saw Mrs. Granell afterwards and she said she saw a whole new side of me – she thinks of me as the smart kid, valedictorian…and then she heard tonight.

Amy found out today that she’s getting a national merit scholarship from FSU!! That news(and Spectrum tonight) totally made my day! You rock, Amy!!

Hm, I’m pretty hungry…think I might eat something now, then maybe finish history homework, then off to bed. I am so worn out from the show..

Sometimes I just don’t know what to think. I feel unbelievably happy..I never knew a single voice could be so moving, so beautiful. I never knew feelings could be so powerful – it all feels like a dream. But it’s not. Amy, you are a wonderfully incredible girl.

It’s amazing how much a single person can make your day. My feelings abound…I feel like I’m in a dreamlike state. Nothing seems real…and everything seems real, so crystal clear.

Amy, you’ve made me feel so very happy and so very loved.
