Today was my first performance with Chamber Singers, the exclusive a cappella group I got into. We only sang one song, but it was beautiful. Here's the original version of it from the play Camelot: [link] Of course, we sang a 4-part arrangement, but this guy is good.

In drawing we've drawn our eyes. My teacher is angry that I'm only in drawing one when I'm a senior and I'm so far ahead of everyone else in the class. (Seriously sophmores, if all you want to do is sit there and text while listening to your iPod, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN A CLASS THAT ACTUALLY REQUIRES FOCUS? That's what study hall is for.) Anyway, I rather like a drawing I've done of my eyes, it might even be my *gasp* new DevID!! That thing is from two Halloweens ago for crying out loud, time for a change.

Remember those movie quotes I put up? Even though people commented on the journal very few people even guessed and only one person got a correct answer... I see this as a victory. I must have pulled such obscure quotes that I stumped you all. Here's what they were:

1. Sweeney Todd (Good job, !)
2. V for Vendetta (Gotten by two people, but not on DevArt.)
3. Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro (I don't blame people for not getting this one.)
4. Pokemon The First Movie (Difficult because it was vague, I guess. It was memorable to me.)

And now, a meme stolen from

I finally caved. I had resolved not to do it, and asserted to people that I would never do it, but I did. I got a Facebook account. Doing something so simple makes me feel like a complete hypocrite, no matter how convenient it is.

On a completely unrelated note, my friend Chris tried a social experiment today. Every Friday, our school explodes with spirit, the school colors of green and gold on everyone. (A surpring amount of people even dye their hair or paint their faces.) They were particularly fired up today, because our football team is playing a home game against our rival school, Nequa. So Chris wears Nequa colors to school instead, to see what will happen. It was pretty hilerious how many people thought her a traitor. You can't say us Warriors don't have school spirit.

Also, my 6,000th pageview has passed without anyone claiming it... so I am going to reset it to 6,500.

So, I got a meme a while ago where you put up movie quotes and people try and guess where they came from. I couldn't think of many (being that it's 11:30 here) but I believe that these 4 are sufficiently difficult enough to keep you all busy while I think of more.

1. Sweeney Todd- gotten by

2. “It was her wrists. They were beautiful.”

3. “Don't you dare die before I get to arrest you!”

4.“You can’t do this. I won’t let you.”

(Hint: The last two are animated films.)

Wow it's been a while since I've posted a journal. It can't be very long though, because tomorrow is my first day of senior year. Unsure how I feel about this year, more when I get home tomorrow. I read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for summer homework, and it is a fantastic work. I highly recommend reading it. (I haven't seen the movie, but I've heard it is also very good.)

I really want to see Ponyo. I have seen District 9, which (despite the alien bit) is very believable. I <3 Prawns.

I'm hoping my drawing will be inspired by the class I'm taking. Go Warriors?

That is all for now.

SO, another vacation. **** I have just confirmed that the room we'll be staying in only has wireless internet, and I don't have a wireless adapter. My stepdad has a blackberry, so I'll be able to check stuff, but I won't be able to reply to stuff or post things. I'll talk to you all in a few days.

In other news, I took 2 trips recently. First me, my friends and all of our moms went down to the University of Illinois for a tour through campus. I want to major in Animal Science so that I can become a vet or a some kind of a zoologist, and I want to do it there. It's the perfect distance from home (not too close, not too far), the campus is beautiful, and it has the 3rd largest research library in the country, after Harvard and Yale. I want to go to U of I so badly, and an added bonus is that so do my two best friends. It would be amazing if all three of us went to the same college- I just hope I'll be able to get in. The problem is my Class Rank/collective GPA. It's around 65%, meaning that I did better than 65% of my school. The average class rank that gets in to U of I is 85% - 95%. I have a bit of work on my hands to improve that.

My second trip wasn't as eventful, but was just as fun. Me and went to the zoo! The animal nerd in me went into a little speal about almost every animal we looked at. ^^
