:: Oh, Look, A Tumbleweed ::

God, it was hell today. US History was fine (Got to watch Haley shove Andrew aside running up to Joyce and then engage in a five minute long arm wrestling contest, which Andrew won. Congrats) and English was fine (More discussions, but i wrote myself into a wall in preplanning these two papers we have and now I have to start over. Ergh) and Physics was fine (I actually understood what to do on the test).

Yearbook and rehearsal are not fine. It was deadline in Yearbook, and you could feel it. So, anyway, I go ask Ms. Ridenour if the pictures from Camera World are back, and she hands me the packet, and I look through it AND NONE OF THE PICTURES WE NEED ARE IN THERE. So I start panicking because Rian and I have to run out and get all these pictures again, in addition to finishing our captions. So Rian says she'll stay behind to finish the captions since she's funnier than me, and I'll run out to get the pictures. Except the camera doesn't come back for about thirty minutes. So we only have an hour left. So I run out, and two people aren't there. So i run back, about ready to scream, and so we have to go through all of our pictures, select two that look funny, then run out and get quotes from them. And now we have to download the pictures from the digital to the computer. So I go out to get the schedules, and I find David Nolan, who gives a quote, and then Ms. Sturgies, who says to come back later, and I ask when the most oppurtune time is, and she says 2:14, when school is one minute away from letting out. So, knowing Ms. Sturgies, this means that she really expects me to go find somebody else. Oh no. On deadline day, yearbook people mean business. We'll get to that in a second. So, anyway, I run back to the room and start trying to help finish the captions. Meanwhile, people are running across the room, Marc and Rachel got into a fight, things are being thrown, and I am counting down until 2:14.

Stressful. I'm so glad deadline is over and done with.

Of course, all that pent up stress I couldn't release in yearbook made me immensley irritable in rehearsal. Ask anybody..well...read Caroline, Andrew and Jesse's journals, and they will probably agree with me I was pissed looking...and really irritable. I reached a point where I just went off on this rant on one specific cast member in front of Andrew and Jesse (Who agreed with me, note). Luckily, the "energy" translated into my acting, because the Macduff/Malcolm/Ross scene was really good...and I felt different while acting it...so for about five minutes I had a nice happy feeling...then I became annoyed again.

Other stuff is happening too, so I'm just kind of...I don't know...a little less...patient...maybe that's the right word to describe most of my feelings. This other thing has just made me a little too thoughtful.

Sigh. Friday. And Kill Bill is out. But I just don't feel like seeing it this weekend. Too stressed...too...something.
