free donuts 12-17-'99: 10:00 or so it's rather nice to know that I won't have to go to school for two weeks. especially since I managed to pull off not having any homework over the break at all, so I can be lazy and not feel guilty about it. for whatever reason I keep feeling like there's something I should be working on, something that HAS to be done...but hell if I know what it is. probably just reminding myself to breathe again. a lot of stuff happened today, but nothing really that interesting. I was surprisingly perky for the four hours of sleep I got last night...after writing a paper for my american history class and making some christmas cards for friends out of magazine clippings. I went to simply donuts this morning to pick up two dozen donuts for my trig class, and after buying them spied a wall full of donuts that had a sign posted above them that read "this wall, free today." since they had a rack of marked down day-olds, and another wall of donuts marked down further...and then the lonely free donuts. I'm guessing they were three day olds, although you can never be sure what you're getting for free. anyway, I figured I'd take a couple plates off their hands for them and give them out to the freshman band kids. surprisingly, by the time I got to orchestra 5th hour, they were all gone save a donut man missing a head and a twist cinnimon-sugar donut soaked in some sort of brown goo. yum. it's funny, though....the one day og the year when there's an abundance of food and I'm not hungry in the least. it's seems like I'm only ever really hungry when there's no free food and I'm broke. such is life, I suppose. I would have worked on my choir arrangement today but I forgot my composition folder at home like a true idiot. so I went into journalism class and bothered them like I do whenI have nothing better to do. well, actually...it's a choice between that and watching the freshman PE class play weird team sports...and truly...it's a hard decision, both are equally entertaining...plus, The Freshman is in that PE class so if anything, I can watch him miss basket after basket in basketball, do step aerobics, or play lets-grope-each-other ball or whatever it was they were playing yesterday. I was contemplating not attending the christmas assembly today, just because it goes against all I hold true and dear about the holiday season...I'm not, by any means, a religious person....I'm somewhere between a religious person and an agnostic. but teachers making asses of themselves just seems to be a poor reminder of what the holidays are all about. it kinda reminded me of a charlie brown christmas..."can anyone tell me what christmas is all about?!" for ten years, or soemthing like that, kennewick high has carried on a tradition of letting the music department take over the christmas concert. it was a rather serious thing, and was completely optional (for those who don't celebrate christmas, there was study hall), but still filled with wonderful music that was intended for everyone. and plus, it was theonly time in the year, and I mean THEE only time, when the music program got to display what they do to the school. I'd say about 5% of the people in the audience today would ever attend a concert, whether it was band, orchestra, choir, or whatever. but this year they decide to bring back an even older tradition...let the teachers make a complete mockery of everything. I was going to boycott it, but I guess I'm just a sucker because I saw The Freshman and his little freshman friends walk into the auditorium, so I decided that it might be worth it to go. eventually, I got it so that I was sitting with a two-o-clock view of the side of his head. he may be an idiot, but boy, he sure is cute! ahhh....my stupid life. but the assembly...it was retarded, but at least it was funny. then I walked home on my gimpy foot and my gimpy knee and I got here and went to bed and slept for three hours or something. I kept feeling like I had to be somewhere or something, which is damn irritating when you're trying to take a nap. eventually I decided I should get up or else I may never move again, and my dad came home and we went to granny's buffet. that place is crazy, but it's cool because I can eat as much cheesecake as I damn well please. mmm...cheesecake.... anyway, ben hasn't e-mailed me in nearly forever (two weeks!) and I'm beginning to think that maybe he fell off the face of the earth. his computer's been busted for a bit, or so I last heard, but I have no clue where he is now...he's probably home, all the college students here are home...but who knows. whenever he stops e-mailing me I always think that he hates me or something but usually it just turns out to be some problem with his e-mail service...I worry too much. but I gave him some advice when I replied to his last e-mail and I'd really like to hear what he thinks about it....through giving him insight on his life, I've been able to get insight on my own. it's been teaching me a lot about identity lately...I can't stop using a quote from it..."it's not WHAT you are, it's WHO you are." it's so true. but enough about my philosophy of life...maybe I'll get into that more over break when I have nothing better to do. that is, if we live through y2k. muahahaha. ←/ b a c k w a r d / f o r w a r d /→ |
