Hello Senior Year!

So Summer Vacation has finally drawn to a close. My last day of summer vacation was spent on hanging out with the Original 4 (5 if you include the one in heaven) at the LA River. =] It was touching, yet dirty if you know what I mean ;)

& Now school is here. Luckily for me, there was no summer reading assignments for AP English today. THANK GOD!! XD Anyways, for the 1st time in literally 5 years, I have a class with Dreidel :D F'shoo AP Stats for the one. I didn't even know she was gonna take an AP Class o_O So for now, this is my class schedule for those of you who care.

0 - Symphonic Winds

I have no idea what to expect in Symphonic Winds this year, other than waking up HELLA early to drive all the way to school. Although I do know that Yvonne has joined the Bass Clarinet section, so that is a win in itself. =] I need to hop on my Bass though hardcore, so I don't get hounded by Mr. Osman. And hurray for evening rehearsals -____-

1 - AP Stats

DREIDEL is gonna be the greatest distraction in the class I swear! xD Must not use cell phone in class AT ALL! Or face death in the name of Thiele!!!! Hopefully, this'll be the best math class ever, but we'll see.

2 - Marching Band

From the looks of Band Camp earlier, I can tell that this is gonna be one of, if not the best year of Marching Band that has happened at Poly! But tons of work needs to be done individually and collectively. The alto saxes needed to step up their game! Football this Friday till 12am at midnight so that'll be crazy! ROAD TRIP TO VENTURA BITCHES!

3 - Piano 3-4

Now this one I'm hella excited for! Most people say that this class is boring, but I view it as a way to increase my musicianship ten-fold. And for my buddies to finally accept the musician in me :]

4 - AP English Lit & Comp

Pigott has a strong British accent. Although he is pretty epic and chill. MY LIFE WAS SAVED TODAY IN THIS CLASS! So to make up for it, I'm gonna actually finish up Animal Dreams (without Sparknoting) and review the Kite Runner. Apparently it is unanimous among my class that the Kite Runner was epic. :D

5 - International Relations/AP US Gov't

"Education is Feminine" - Koury

In a strange way, that is true. Although I have a bad feeling that this is the class that I'm gonna be falling asleep in. Hell I almost fell asleep in this class today. o_O Crap I gotta get my act together here. To balance it out there, there are a number of diverse characters in this class.

6 - Film Analysis

Apparently Mrs. Wenger considers me the 'prodigy' or the 'guy that everyone wants to partner up with' in this class due to the fact that she thinks I'm a legit filmmaker. Although I sorta am ish, I kinda lost my touch with film at the moment. However, this is the only class where I have homework on the first day o_O My homework assignment is to describe a 'funnel shot' in a sitcom or movie or whatever. Although my fellow classmates doesn't seem to be the type that I'll get close to anytime soon (except for Kelvin, but thats only because he's in the drumline).

7 - Jazz B

Well. Damn My life. I've had this class for 3 years now. Apparently I was the only one that got left behind among my fellow seniors. However, this is an opportunity for me to shine thanks to the small number of people in this particular class. And Damon is in the class with me so EPIC SAUCE! I personally think that this is gonna be the class that makes or breaks my senior year and my high school years in general.

In addition to my 8 classes, I intend on doing International Ambassador, Jackrabbit Pageant, Senior Counselor, and all the other stuff that comes with being a senior. I also intend on continuing Buhay Media Productions (and actually getting crap done for once), meeting new people, possibly find love, composing new music, and finding myself in this huge world.

This year is gonna be amazing =]

College

So senior year is coming around the corner, and one of the hot topics of the year will be college plans and the future of our lives.

Man, looking at the class rankings of my SLC was a cruel reality check. Judging from that on a merit basis, I dont think I'm gonna even make it to a University anytime soon. Luckily, there is a window of opportunity in the form of a transfer program. Sure, these students on the top of the class who hardcore care about the college stuff and gpa, but thinking about it in the long run, these people are gonna face some hardcore financial hardships paying off the tuition. And those that are against the transfer program plan just have some hardcore pride and are really stubborn. Shoot. Life after college? Well I honestly have no idea what I'm doing.

Lets face it: I'm not exactly a prodigous musician, or have any extraoridinary artistic talent to go anywhere with it, I'm not in good merit-standing, and I honestly don't have the drive to try out for a University from the get-go. And even if I did, I messed up too much in my previous years to do anything about it. I swear to God, college is cruel to those with ideals without merit.

But then again, that's the cruel fact of life.

The student can have a 4.0 gpa, and work extra-hard in extra-curriculars, but that person can be the evilest son-of-a-bitch in the world, and still gets admitted to their 'dream college'. & once that happens, well say hello to anarchy. Like Bill Gates or something. Or even Armageddon.

Well, I guess I say that because I'm kinda bitter in the fact that I didn't get the AP Psych class in my schedule. Among all classes, I really wanted to take that class with a passion, and yet, my counselor sells out the class to those with "high GPAs". AND HELL, HALF OF THOSE GODDAMN PEOPLE DON'T EVEN CARE WHETHER THEY GET THE CLASS OR NOT. As a fictional charcter puts it,

"Even though I have a high score to get into the class, I'd just be taking the place of somebody that would really want to be there, versus me that just applied just to apply."

Damn, I just got myself infuriated. FAIL x[
