ooOOoo… coffee so good…

I’m a little spaztic right now because I just had a 3x tall mocha with creme de menthe. Mmm… so good. A little shakey, a little jittery, but awake.

I’m upset. Upset that I only got 80% on my A&P test. Because I know I could have done better. I certainly felt that I had done better than that. Only 80%?! More is expected out of me because I’ve already taken AP Bio and Anatomy before. Ahhhhhh… crap. That means I should study harder next time… because I didn’t study much for it this time. I thought I knew that stuff. Apparently, I was WRONG. Ok, ok. Now I know. Study harder next time, instead of procrastinating and dinking around on the internet.

Ptcha.

BUT. I did a considerably good job on my chem test; 86%. SWEET. I am happy with that score, considering I struggle for at least 4 hours on every assignment. So, I’m proud of myself for the “B”. Hmm… which might make my overall grade an “A”…

I’m hungry.

I went on a download frenzy last night and got some I Am the Avalanche, Starting Line, and Wolf Parade, among many others. Ooooo… IAtA is good. I like them. Wolf Parade is funky and … different, which is nice. I’m enjoying them also. Oh, and I got some Catch 22, which made me think of freshman year of high school when I was still stuck in the ska phase; weird, good times.

I was at the Spenard Post Office today (after I got my coffee) and had this strange memory come back to me. The last time I was at that particular post office was when Jesse and I were back together and I was mailing out my University of California applications. AND the guy who helped me today was the same one who helped me last time. Weird, strange, awkward thoughts. It made me a little uncomfortable (the thoughts, not the guy).

I still dislike System of a Down very, very much. And listening to Linkin Park this morning did NOT make me a happy person. I was extremely annoyed. Grrr.

I don’t think that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are that great. But it was years ago that I had first tested them out. Perhpas I should venture again.

Apparently, Neutral Milk Hotel’s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea reissue in the UK got a full 10 marks out of 10. I might look into this one…

I still can’t believe Death Cab’s Plans only got 6.5 of 10. I like it very much. Also helps that there are four tracks in a row that I can listen to one after the other and enjoyment ensues.

A band I’ve yet to experience: Wolf Parade.

I really don’t like:
1) Linkin Park
2) System of A Down

Seriously.
Gross.

A total of 9 hours of sleep in two days. That’s got to be a record for me… or something. Oh god, I’m so tired right now, but I’ve got another test to study for and dinner to cook. Aaaaaargh. I had coffee hours ago (shotsx3 ina grande) but it’s all worn out, mainly because I went shopping/to work. It’s only Tuesday and my body feels like Pb. Not peanut butter, though.

One test down, two more to goooooooo…

before bed, when I woke up, and even in between

Music is evil. Aw, no it isn’t. Sometimes I just don’t like it when it makes me miss things I don’t need to miss at the moment.

No, wait.
I like that feeling.

I woke up to a good song on the radio today (surprise! “a good song”, you say?). And the memories of the summer all came flowing back to me. You know, the late nights (or early mornings), the days we would spend trying to catch the sunset, the sunny days and warm nights spent in Hawaii, and walks in the rain? I miss the summer.

AND I got a message from Henny, which made me miss her and everyone else even more.

I can’t believe I’m stuck at home with my parents while everyone else is out having fun.

Just think about it…
Remember the warm sun and long days, when we didn’t have to care about schoolwork? When we didn’t have to worry much about anything except for having the time of our lives because, well, these short three months were ours to live out? I remember, and I don’t want to forget.

To me, it was a perfect summer.
Love and friends. You can’t really beat that.

I miss it all.
And that one song on the radio reminded me.

how could the radio do this to me?!

as always, I’m in denial.

Hurricane Rita is about to rampage upon the South again. This time, it’s (or “she”, I don’t know) going to hit Houston, TX and close enough to New Orleans. Everyone keeps saying “Aren’t you glad you’re home now?” or “Aren’t you glad you’re not in New Orleans anymore?” They don’t sound so bad when you read them but it’s the way they’re asked that has been irking me. People ask me these questions as if I shouldn’t go back to N.O. ever. The thing is, I don’t want to think that I’ll never go back, because while I was there, I was having fun, I was enjoying it, and it was supposed to be the start of a new chapter in my life. I will go back, if and when Tulane opens, no matter what my parents say, or anyone else for that matter. It’s my life, and I’ll do whatever the fuck I want … even if it’s going back to that Katrina-bashed city.

I happen to like being optimistic, thank you.
