And she comes to you, light as a breeze

Man, I would not have made it this far through high school had it not been for Billy Joel. I thought about using that song as a theme, sorta, for my 'original' masterwork for art sem, (sorry, I forget what the song is called, lol, no, I don't, its "Light as a Breeze"...I think), but anyway, I've decided against it, to do a"Ghost" inspired painting instead- I think I'd paint a chair covered with a white sheet (like in the dance) in an old-looking, dusty, empty room, and write some of the lyrics on there in pretty curvy letters. I'm really excited about it- and it shouldn't take too long, either, because its just perspective, fabric, and letters:) (no tap shoes, or glasses!) But I do think I'd like to do a Billy-Joel-song-inspired-painting, I think I owe him at least that, since he's saved me from my adolescent self. But what to do.....I've thought about "Goodnight Saigon" before, but what I plan to do with that one is just too complicated to finish in a semester, I think....ummm.....yes, well, we all know, or at least I know, how well "We Didn't Start the Fire" went, so I daresay we'll never attempt a painting of that, until at least 10 years from now when I finish the drawing. Lol- I bet whoever's reading this now, has just skipped the past 10 sentences, because they got bored with the first couple, and thought, "oh, God, here she goes again with the 'what to do?'s'..." Well, I'll stop with this, and give some recent updates on stuff.

Well, my dad's back from Florida, my uncle has lung cancer, but part of me feels a lot better knowing that he's at least starting chemo, rather than losing all that weight, and not doing anything about it. Um, I kinda had a breakdown during Physics today, which is totally crazy, because I never ever ever ever cry in school, (its always after school- lol) but Anna, Ange, and even Mr. Froiland were all very helpful at... well, maybe not making me feel better, but definitely making me feel less compacted and overwhelmed with stressors. My honors application is mailed, Mr. Garmen says my 4.0 will stay there no matter what, but he lies, sometimes, so I'm still kinda scared for physics, and.....oh! Gregory's done! Did I mention that, already? Probably so. But yes, so now I'm just lightyears behind in physics homework, and oh! I have a social final I forgot about until just now, aaaaaaand right. Oh, and U-Friggin'-D Honor Orchestra next weekend, that I've chosen not to give a $#!+ about. Thats all, but a lot of that wasn't so easy when we'd just gotten a huuuuge and scary physics assignment. Haha, but since I forgot about my social test, I think I had better go, as homework may take much longer than planned. God Bless, and Love from me to you!

alex,
today i had an epiphany. i told myself i'd stay at school after the s.c. meeting and study for my bio quiz but see that just didn't work out. i found other more appealing things to do. so i studied for my bio anatomy quiz 5 minutes before he handed them out, and i aced it. i have taken this into consideration and have decided not to study for my social final...yes the final that i have to take even though i have a 104%...hmm makes so much sense, doesn't it. anyway, this comment is getting a lot longer than i had expected, but i was just going to say that today was the FIRST time i have gone home from school this year without a backpack and dang did it feel good! (ok so i had a stack of scholarships in my hand), but still...woohoo...!! and i have so much darn faith in you that i just know you'll get into the honors program just like i said you'd get into buffalo and the U ;)

praying for a snow day,
angela
