My presentation went very well. Someone else before me wore a wig, so it wasn't that bad. I didn't chicken out and not wear it. I think I skipped one of my points, but I don't think it'll matter too much. Only one person had a speech that lasted the entire five minutes. The first one to go, George Washington, had a speech that was hmm… maybe 10 seconds long? Pretty sad.
We got a French test we did last week back. I did much better than I'd expected. Missed one stupid easy question at the beginning. Guh.
Went to the optometrist, since my vision's been pretty blurry lately. So I went and got new glasses and ordered contacts. My glasses are pretty awesome; they're circular and are kinda John Lennon-y, but there weren't any frames, which is weird, because my glasses always have frames. The glasses are bigger so when I look up, I'll actually be able to see. Yay. The contacts are supposed to be in on Friday, so I'll see if I'm able to get them in my eyes this year. They're going to be tinted blue, pretty cool. :)
Suppose I should've gotten brown so I could look even more like John. I'm also going to go get my hair cut this weekend and I need to dye it again since my roots are showing. I used to think it looked so cool when people had blonde hair but then brown at the top, but it really looks strange. Well, my hair isn't blonde, I mean, I just have reddish hair. I think I'll go more red, then later I'll try blonde. I dunno.
So then I was trying to plan my future again today. I decided, right now, the three things I want most in a career is:
1) I want to make lots of money.
2) I want to be famous (or just well-known in my area of work).
3) I want to help people.
So the careers I can think of that fit these are politician or professor. My dad was saying I could be a lawyer because I can act. Hah. Lots of money. I like money.
Right now, I like money. Later though, I'll probably like it less. Well, I'll still like it, but later I'll realize it can't buy me love, which is of course, all you need. Right now, I like money. I do not concern myself with love right now.
I'm afraid my blog must be terribly boring for everyone to read. I don't really talk about interesting things. I'm sure I've told you this all before.
I'd like to write a song about that. But I don't know exactly what I mean. I'm not very good at expressing myself in words. Or whatever way. How else can I express myself? I don't know.
I don't understand art. I mean, abstract art, I just don't get it. I mean, I can't express myself like that. I don't get it.
Music I can understand as a form of expression. Because it has words. Instrumental music I don't understand as much.
Well, I understand both somewhat. I mean, you paint with red, press harder, etc if you're angry. Angry music is louder, more drums maybe, screaming.
But I mean, for music or visual art to tell a story without words, I don't understand.
I read about Won't Get Fooled Again somewhere and that the musical part was a sort of revolution, I don't really get that. But I've never really *listened*, like really listened, to that part with the intent of understanding it.
What's that other art? Oh yeah, drama.
With words again, yes, I understand it.
But interpretive dancing? Miming? No.
I'm so un-deep. Shallow. That's it.
Me, let me describe me. My bad parts. Maybe some of my good parts.
I am superficial, materialistic, introverted, independant, sensitive, non-religious, self-sacrificing, determined, calm, organized, passive, loner, pessimistic, paranoid, secretive, reliable, hard working, perfectionist, serious, obsessive, private, selfish, generous, and nerdy.
Some more facts about me.
I hate asking for help.
I hate other people being better than me.
I hate not being able to do something.
I hate disappointing people.
I hate not knowing when I'm doing something.
I hate working with other people.
I hate making decisions.
I hate others thinking I am lying.
I love making people laugh.
I love being different.
I love giving advice.
I love helping people.
I love succeeding.
I love being around different people from time to time.
I love knowing other people are wrong.
I often put other people's needs ahead of my own.
I often assume the worst.
I often prefer listen rather than talk.
I often am not bothered by annoying people.
I often choose a less desirable option to allow others the more desirable choice.
I often get upset easily.
Well, that's about all I feel like revealing about myself today. I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of it.
What was that thing I was supposed to do again? Oh, homework right.
