I haven't blogged for a long time. My bad. I'm trying to update everything but I just can't find the time to! It's horrible. I'm doing everything I can.

But anyway, after two weeks of worrying about my fate, I can say that I'm alright with the choral class now. When I sang for the instructors for the first time, I was shaking and my voice was hoarse. It's like an audition and stuff. I don't even remember how I got through it, but the guy instructor was really scary. After singing for them, I was so disappointed with myself. I left immediately so I didn't get to know which level I was in.

I mean, I haven't had any formal training in singing but I really love to sing. It's a part of my life and I can't imagine life without music. That's why I grabbed the opportunity to finally learn new styles and techniques. And it feels good singing in a group.

So awhile ago, I found out that the instructor was actually nice, and he made learning easy. The first song he picked for us was a really beautiful song. Actually, I'm starting to feel glad that I'm in his class. I'm in the soprano two group and I made new friends! For me, that's one thing that greatly matters because if I would be singing with them for one year, I should feel comfortable around them too.

Everything has been boring lately. But at least the weirdness at home is gone (I think). I can finally relax.

So, school's been boring me a bit too. Trigonometry and Geometry are the only subjects that interest me so far. Chemistry... well, my teacher is not doing anything because he said that we were "advanced" in our lessons. HA. But then he asked us to come up with our investigatory project proposals, and our group just had a brilliant idea. I think I can't say it for now, my groupmates are going to freak out. Lol. Anyway, my teacher thought that if we could come up with a product by September, he'll enter us in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF). That is just so exciting! I mean, when we developed the idea, all we wanted was to finish a school requirement and now this? Totally cool! I really hope we can make it. Wish us luck with our project!

Oh, and now with the site. I've been thinking of switching to Wordpress, and maybe I will, one of these days. I really hope I could find time to do this. Computer life's hard these days.

Okay, so I didn't know that my junior year would be so tedious that I actually didn't find time to even touch the computer after school. That's why I hadn't put up a new design (I know this is getting old). I actually had to study every afternoon because we have Geometry and Chemistry quizzes everyday and I want to be an academic awardee this year. I know, I wasn't like this before. But now the thing is that I care about my grades very much now, unlike last year when I just slacked off. I depended on things I already knew and stuck to just that. My grades were okay then but I wouldn't settle for that. I'd raise it a little bit. And why am I this hyped up about school?

I liked the environment of school this year because I get to see my friends there, learn new things, have good laughs and those things are really encouraging. I was having a good time and it was very different from home. Last week I felt a negative energy around me whenever I was home so I didn't like that, it was the first time in my high school life that I never looked forward to dismissal. It seemed like there was something going on and the people just don't want to tell me. It was a horrible feeling, I asked my mom and my sister about what happened but they wouldn't give me a single clue. I couldn't eavesdrop either, that's not nice. So I don't know. I bet they still think that I am not ready to hear it or whatever but I have the right to know what's going on. But based on what I'm seeing, everything seems to be fixed now I hope everything gets better soon because I don't like having problems at home, especially when I don't know what the problem is.

I think yesterday was the most tiring first day ever.

So I met my friends again and stuff. My classmates and teachers are okay, I guess. Well, except for my English teacher. Tsk. If the school wasn't lacking English teachers they would never put her through. Many of my teachers were new so I didn't really have... uh... confidence in them. But hey! Things change, right? Maybe some of them are good. That remains to be seen.

Oh, and after lunch we had three consecutive "hard" subjects. Geometry, Trigonometry and Chemistry! I was so nervous when Geometry started but the teachers in these subjects are actually nice. The Chem teacher is a little rough on us but after today's class I thought he's going to be okay. And all of the teachers gave homework. Right. I was complaining a bit but of course I can't do anything about it. *sigh* I was just wondering about how they can give us this pile of work on the first day. It just didn't seem right. Well, I don't think that I experienced having a truckload of homework the past years so in some way it put a lot of pressure on me. And wow, I can't believe that I'm now in my third year! It's going to be a really long year for me but I hope everything will go well! *crosses fingers*

Well, got to go. I still have to do my Chemistry and Filipino homework.

School starts on Tuesday and I still haven't got school supplies! Yes, everyone here at home is busy that they also forgot. So yesterday we went out and bought everything we need. I bought some notebooks and the basic things but I have this feeling that it's still not complete. And I'm still missing two books. But I'll be the one to fix that.

Wow, just four days away from school. I'm not THAT excited yet but I think it's okay for me to go now. After all, I just found out that some of my friends have been placed into my class. That means less problems for me. But of course I don't want to talk about how horrible school's going to be and stuff, I see blogs that have that all the time and it's just boring. I'm not a homework-a-holic but I love what I do in school and I enjoy it. Well, sometimes stuff like too much homework, quizzes and projects piss me off too. Some teachers annoy me also. But I don't mind that because I know that even if I am forced to bear those things, I learn. And I realize that when the school year ends.

Okay, this is sounding like a rant now.

Oh. And about the new layout, I have an idea now but I can't work on it yet because I'm doing lots of other things. :) I'll try to get it done as soon as I finish everything that I'm working on.
