What is that noise?

Last night around 1:30 a.m., I was up watching tennis on TV, and I hear this noise.  It sounds like a muffled "meow".  So I got to the back porch, turn the light on, and my cat is standing there with a dead squirrel in her mouth.  When she sees me, she drops it on the mat and looks at me triumphantly and meows.  "Oh look," I think, "She brought me a present."  So I reach down to pet her and she is purring.  She's so proud of herself.  

On another note, I don't know if I've mentioned my recent infatuation with Hugh Jackman.  Yep.  I like him.  Australia: Wonderful.  Wolverine: Wonderful.  Swordfish: not really my favorite genre of movie, but Wonderful.  Oklahoma!: Wonderful.  I just can't get enough of Hugh Jackman.  I swear I've seen The Prestige, but I've also seen The Illusionist, and I get the two mixed up.   But I won't get to in depth into my infatuation for Hugh Jackman.

MSA friends, if you are reading this, I MISS YOU.  I enjoy being home, but I do not enjoy being away from my friends.  :(  It makes me sad to think that I can't go back to school and get in my bed in my dorm room because all of my stuff is here, at home.  I love you guys :)

The Last Supper at El Som

Tomorrow is the last day of school, and while most high school students would be exuberant about this, I am not.  It's actually quite depressing.  I've been moving out today, working on getting my signatures so that I can leave tomorrow...  But it's just been sad.  It's weird to walk into the hall towards the elevator and look out of the window at the view of the campus and think, "I won't see this every morning when I wake up for the next two and a half months."  I've gotten used to the new pace of life that I decided to jump into in early August.  It's become more of a home to me, since I've spent more time here than I have at my real home.  It's like moving away from home.  But worse, because, when I moved away from my real home to come to this school, I know that my family would always be there when I came back.  Everybody isn't going to be here when I come back in August.  It'll feel like some of my family left.  

I never thought I would have gotten so attached to this school, and the people.

So, in remembrance of all the good times we've had this year, me and my closest friends got together and went to El Sombrero for our "last supper."  It was nice.  After that, me and three of my friends explored the town and just kind of chilled and talked.  When we got back to the school, almost the entire school was in the front of the school in the big yard area playing ultimate frisbee or sitting on the sidewalk or the grass enjoying our last days with each other.  Some people had their cars on and were listening to music.  What a great way to end the year, huh?   So cheers to you, class of '09 and '10.  This has been a great year :)

I'm aggravated.  All semester, I've been working on a video for two of my best friends who are graduating.  I finished the video, bought 10 DVDs, burned the video onto the DVDs, and I was good to go.  On Thursday, I got everybody down to come watch.  I was so pumped.  I was going to put my DVD into the DVD player and we were going to watch it on the TV, how exciting!  Well guess what....  It didn't work.  Apparently I didn't burn it right.  So that's 9 DVDs wasted.  SO, I had to go to Wal-Mart, but more DVDs, and start all over.  However, I've done it right this time and it's much cooler.  :)  So I'm not so aggravated now.  But now I'm trying to figure out how to do Menu Audio.  I know how to put it there, and it says it's there, but I don't hear anything.  Ugh.  Technology sucks.

Choir Banquet

Our choir banquet was tonight.  It was a really really great banquet, so kudos to the officers.  It was small, and we just had it at Broma's in the little "party room" haha, but that was all we needed.  It was really personal, as well as emotional.  We have two weeks of school left.  Only two.  This is one of my friend's last weeks (she has more important things like LA to do.)  The choir banquet was really sad. The seniors passed down important titles, such as Choir Fairy and Fairy Keeper.  The seniors also made each of us new, original title!  I got Chatter Box.  Haha.  That part was fun.  

But then we all sang Sing Me to Heaven, and a lot of us could barely hold ourselves together.  I'm surprised I could sing throughout the whole song.  I ended up bawling my eyes out.  I was so embarrassed when I left the restaurant because my whole face was so red and puffy (I am not a pretty crier.)  We all got to cry together though.  

Gosh, this choir is like my family.  I mean, I live so far away from home that the choir and my fellow Juniors have become my only sense of family around here.  And now the Seniors are graduating.  It's sad.  It almost feels like they're about to die and we'll never see them again.  That's kind of how it is every time somebody withdraws or gets expelled or doesn't get invited back.  That's how personal our whole school is (because we're such a small school.)  I can't imagine how emotional graduation is going to be....  I love them all so much.  

Yay! I have a follower!
Haha.

It's only Monday, and I can already tell there's going to be drama this week... It's SO ridiculous. I hate it. I hate THEM. It's sad really.... But I will not bore you with infidelities of my peers.

We got a free day in English today, hence my blogging.

Ooh our Choir concert is this Friday. Yes, it is a mandatory go home weekend, and yes, it is Mother's Day weekend, but I'm sure Mr. Teacher has a perfectly reasonable reason for scheduling the choir concert under those circumstances.
Our Musical Theater performance/show thing will be on Monday. And I think the whole school has to come....................................................................
