Such an odd day.

Today has been quite an interesting one. Interesting enough to make me actually write a blog for once. Where should I begin...

Today was Senior Walk-Out Rally. I swear, I could've gone deaf from all the screaming. It's strange. The past two years, I would go to the Walk-Out, just to see what the buzz was about. Those two years, I hardly knew any actual seniors, except for those senior band kids. But this year, it's a different feeling. I'm really close to several seniors this time around. I'm going to feel really sad when they leave. Band definitely won't be the same next year. Same goes out to my other senior friends, namely Shawn. He's been my neighbor and one of my closest friends for years. I'll miss all these guys.

Over outside Peet's Coffee, we had the strangest experience. Ryan, Schwanka, and Bryan had takeout from Happy Sashimi, and we were waiting for my dad. During the wait, they decided to eat on the bench. Suddenly, one of the security guards came up to us. Starting off with something like "Hey, yo. Y'all can't eat in this era. Students gotta go over to Subway." He then proceeded to go kick out all the other students. When we got to Subway, it was nothing but a taped off construction site, where they had laid in some new tiling. We also saw him kicking everyone out outside Jamba Juice. Man, it seems us students can't fit in any era but Subway's. He's now officially a contender for Most Difficult To Understand, rivaling Schwanka.

Senior Recitals were very interesting. Too bad both Angeline (my camcorder) and my mom's camera died before I could finish recording. I went to extraordinary lengths to get as much of the performance as possible. It's too bad I missed Michael's recital in the mayhem. Sorry Michael. We also talked about how Schwanka would do next year. He's thinking of putting a tape recorder in his clarinet. I figure, if you can imitate the fingerings, you might as well be able to play the real thing.

On a final note (I smell a pun), finals are putting a great deal of stress on me. My group is struggling desperately to finish the service learning project by Monday. Finals are on Monday and Tuesday, with a chance of me failing at least 2 of them. So much work, so little time to do it in. Additionally, I've managed to make three of my friends upset and angered at me. It seems lately, I will say something that causes hurt in someone. I honestly don't mean to hurt anyone, but somehow I always end up doing so...Please forgive me. I don't want any of you to be like this.

SAT Subject Tests are in the morning. I'm taking it at Berkeley High. I need to get up early so I have time to get lost on the way to my room. I hope things go smoothly this weekend. I need a breather...
