Wooo! So there is quite a bit going on in my life right now!

First of all the Creative Arts block at my school has FINALLY been changed. I thought I'd never get out of the wrath of the world's evilest music teacher, Ms. D. So now my course is in guitar lessons until June (aka the end of the school year.) It's pretty good, even if some of the kids in the class with me are annoying and couldn't carry a tune to save their life.  However there is some kids in there that already know how to play the guitar pretty well, making me look even more like the amatuer that I already am.  Atleast I try, eh? My partner gave up her turn halfway through her song, lol. So I played it about 75% of the class. Oh, speaking of the partners. Considering that there wasn't enough guitars for all of us, because the school is welfare, we had to get with a partner and share the assigned guitar amongst us. In English class earlier in the day *a certain student* promised to be my partner for the class since she was in it with me. Well, when guitar class rolled around, she turned around and partnered up with someone else!  I pulled up my chair next to her and she was like... "go find another partner" and I was like... wtf?? I keep getting screwed over!!  So then I was just sitting alone, looking like an idiot, as the teacher dude went around assigning the guitars to everyone. Well, there was this other chick who had been cast off by her "friends" just like me, so the teacher paired us together. Soooo.... that was about it. I learned a couple of chords and praticed strumming... wahoo.

It was kind of dissapointing, 2 days ago, when they rounded all us grade eights up in the multi-purpose room to tell is what block we would be in next. It wasn't a huge surprise though... all the bonk kids went to art, the easiest and only one they can do.  I wanted art. It wasn't fair! There are five choices for creative arts... art, music, design technology, drama and guitar. Now, these certain kids don't have the "mental capacity" to play a musical instrument correctly, lack the desire to do drama, can't be trusted with expensive guitars and certainly isn't wise to put them in a room full of power tools. So what's left? Art, of course. It's the only thing that even a chimp could pass. Now, mind you, I ain't got nothing against these kids... it's how they get all the easy breaks is what I'm miffed about. They get whatever they want, whenever they want, and they don't even have to do a tap of work... they get everything coming easy to them which is, sadly, not what the real world is all about.  Eh, I'll get off that now... when they happened to call my name for guitar, I couldn't hear it. Some chick who had her name called right before me was shouting and complaining about what block they were in so I couldn't hear my name being called. Then I found out I was indeed in guitar and then had to show up for class late because of it. :/

Anyway, enough about creative arts and all that junk. I've got like three tests coming up... not fun. My teachers must be insane. Or something. One of them includes a math exam midterm. I don't know why we need TWO midterms... that's a bit much. I can understand that they want the kids to "learn". But how many of them actually study, do you think? It's pointless for the "not-so-bright" kids. And just a pain and a waste of time to the ones who actually do their work.

Enough about school... how about the weather eh? It's sure beginning to look like spring! You can tell it's spring 'round these parts when the roads are a foot deep in meltwater.  There's water everywhere, lol. And it's been raining and snowing. It is very very mucky! But once it all clears off and all the snow has melted it's pretty good. Spring is a good season. The little birds come back and eat seeds and build their nests. And hopefully don't bring bird flu.  (But that's another story!) The grass starts to sprout in little green shoots, the trees begin to grow their leaves, and the weather gets warmer. What could be better! lol! Seriously though, spring is a good season. It's quite a welcome change from winter. Plus, I was born in spring lol!

Well, I think that's enough for tonight. I have to go to bed soon. 'Til next time!
