Things have been hectic this year, but I'm glad my Junior year is over. I'm getting old, I'll be a senior now, and college is only a few months ahead. Oh boy, do I feel old. Haha.

I know it's been more than a year since I've updated my journal, so I found that it be fitting if I did around now, when I've gotten my latest artistic fling.

My shoe business isn't even really a business anymore. Lol. Actually, I don't think it ever was, especially since someone else was apparently doing "all of the shoes" and that "you never did shoes". God, I love our seniors of the art class.

Anyways.

This summer has been nothing but a boring one, of course, just sitting here, playing RO, doing shoes, and being bored to death. Go figure.

But, just before band camp's starting, I've gotten a creative wave. It's been a while since I've had one of these, so it feels good.
In truth, I've been kind of bored of art for the last year, and not really feeling like doing anything.
It's refreshing to know that I still enjoy doing art and that it's not so boring.

Anyways, usually around this time in my journal, I would announce yet another kiriban, but you know, I think I've grown out of that.
I think that if anyone wants anything, just let me know. It'll give me something to do.

And without further ado, I think it's time for my dA to be revamped.
So, in the next few days, hopefully I'll get to do that.

Leave me comments, whatever.

I missed dA.

HEY LOOK

I'M NOT DEAD, KIDDIES!


Well yeah, I know I never get on here that much anymore, but I thought I'd just let you guys know that I actually AM alive, and I check it out everyday.
And despite my laziness this summer, I have actually managed to get back on my art track.. A little.

A few new Deviations..

And something I haven't done in a while....

A NEW KIRIKIRI KIRIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

This time, the big one's at 5,555.

I'm sure all of you know the rules, the prizes, and all that jazz, so.. We'll just skip that.

As for my life?
Eh, nothing out of the ordinary.
Just a shitload of drama, and a few things to look forward to here and there.
Oh, and band, of course. Lol.

STARJAM IS ON FRIDAY! - excited. -
Yeah. I'm stoked.

But yeah.
I thought I should probably make a decent NOT SURVEY journal.

So remember, kiddies.

5,555! CATCH IT!™

[x] Aru [x]

AHAHAHAAAAHAHAHA! I'm alive!
Sort of.
Be on the look out for some art, since school's almost out.. and I'm not allowed to get a job until we go on vacation in June. XD
AND SOME ACTUAL ART, NOT ANIME LOLO!
So yeah.

Just to show you that I'm alive.. I got tagged by Kenji.
So...
HERE'S A SURVEY! ;D
(oh, and btw, I ain't going on people's profiles to tell them that they're tagged. XD)

--

Rulez:
1. tag 10 ppl (not the one who sent it to you!)
2. answer all truthfully
3. take it in public!
4. tell all taggees on their profile that they have been tagged, and link to your journal

CATCH IT!™

Until then~

[x] Aru [x]

Something's been on my mind since this morning..

Like, today we had to register for next year's classes.

Big whoop, I did this last year.

My lineup:

English III (Honors) [ Yeah, I totally chicken'd out of AP.. Pretty much because of the test and the money.. ]

AP Calculus [ If I pass pre-cal, rofl. ]

US Government (Regular) [ Lol. No honors, and I AM NOT taking AP with MORELAND. AGAIN. You can't make me go through that again. Ever. ]

AP Psycology [ My favorite class, maybe except for band. Adam's taking it.. and like, a million other people I love. It's going to be amazing. 'Nuff said. ]

French I and II [ Because I AM NOT taking Spanish or Latin. Blah. And I know the French teacher is amazing. ]

Marching band [ My new found love. It's the class that keeps me sane in the end. It's a class where I'm surrounded by people I know, friends, and all, where I'm outside, traveling, and getting exorcise in a way I enjoy. It's a must. ]

Anyways, back to the story.

My main thought then, "Wow, they better not fuck up my schedule 5 times again."

And, because I had to go with the flags to the middle school (that sucked, bad), I was in class late.

So I go to the office with Ashley and get all that situated..

Then I go to class.

And Mrs. Stansbitch is up at the overhead, giving the usual lab quiz, since today was lab day.

"Where's your note?"

"The office took it. They said call them if you need info."

"Oh, well, they need you in guidance."

"Can I at least leave my stuff?" (I had EVERYTHING with me, and I was soaked, if you want a visual. I look like a walking zombie with a broken back.)

"No, take it with you. Go!"

.....
Jeez.

So I walk in there, totally feeling like an idiot, and the lady asked if I was me, and I sat down at the table with the rest of the kids with my guidance counselor.

She gets over to me, acting like I have everything done, and was all like, "You ready?"

I was like "Uh, no. I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing.. I just got here."
I could have sworn my eye was twitching, as Tsuki (who was sitting at the other table) was staring at me, kinda giggling to herself.

My counselor handed me these 2 highlighters and told me to highlight stuff..

She highlighted my classes that I was going to take, and left.

So I'm sitting there, looking at this mysterious white paper.
With my fugly school picture at the bottom.

I was so confused. @_@

And I hear <s>Ryan</s>Stacy, asking people their rank.

Rank?
Wtf?

And of course, he asks me.

And I looked at him, and was all like, "Wtf are you talking about?"

He pointed to this box on our transcript, where it gave our class rank.

35.

I guess that's good, right?

Well, that's what I thought, until I realized that all the people I hang out with have higher ranks than me.

Kinda pissed me off, being the person who likes to be either the same as them, or higher.

So it's been bothering me all day...

One number never bothered me so much, seriously.

Not even that 27 I got on my Pre-Cal test.

35 out of 296.

Wouldn't most people be happy?

I try to look at it and be happy, but it just keeps irking me..

What should I do?!
