This wasn't due or anything, sorry for the cussing.
Their is a billboard with a nun playing golf on it. What would the pitch be for that golf course? Perhaps something to do with virgin greens. Yeah. I need more Catholic training. Why? I do not know the answer to if a why a nun wears the black and white get up.
Anyway, the sign got me thinking.*thinking bad*. I should open up a chain of religious mini-golf things... That is so dumb.
I'm realizing as I'm typing why I do not blog. I mean what is the point of updating a blog when we get comments from about five different people, and we see these people throughout the day, so why not just say it to them when you see them. Our attempt at setting up a blog for our "thespians," appears to be a giant failure. We never post anything that needs to be said. Well maybe one out of the 150 or so we have had. But does one make up for all the other random crap we do. Not really. It is nice knowing that Mac is okay in Germany, but she only has to post because she can not directly speak to us. Every other person on this blog sees each other through out the day. God damnit fucking rambling on about one topic that could have been summed up in one sentence.
Bad day today. Not to bad up until sixth hour. I used to love sixth hour. Deebs was a fun teacher, and the subject matter was some what interesting, but somewhere in their all enjoyment in that class was lost. Sitting in sixth hour, slacking off, and Deebs passes out grade reports. My grade not what I expected, not what I liked, but what should have been expected. When you put no effort in a class, and hope to have a respectable grade you are a fool, or one of the people that magically pull grades out their asses. It occured to me in this class just how much I am fucking myself over. Why did I put zero effort in school? I knew that I would have to, but I didn't. This is beyond procrastination. This is lazy. But i just do not have the drive needed to actually do work. I don't hate school by any means. I even enjoy most classes, but I just won't put effort forth. Why?
These thoughts automatically brought me to college. What if I don't get in? My GPA is moderate at best, my community service is nonexistent, and knowing my luck I'll fuck up the ACT and end up with a 23. Then what. It dawns on me sometimes that I may have to lower my standards and accept a public college. But I do not want that. I almost think I would just quit before I would do that. Even If I were to get into college, what would I accomplish? I look at my skills * Napoleon Dynamite* and I'm not exceptional at anything. The things I enjoy would get me nowhere. English? My best hopes would be taking Hewitts job. Prick. Theater? I couldn't cut it. Some people can. We compare ourselves to the people near us. Steve is amazing, and is passion is unprecedented. I'm not even the best in my grade, and I've already gone over how I;m to lazy to better myself. God damnit when did college, and a career become such a pressing issue. Why do I have to hang around with people that are so smart? That doesn't make one feel insignificant or anything. You can do one thing, and they top you without trying. Then what happens. You decide to put effort into classes. I put everything into a couple, and got nothing in return. I am a greedy bastard. Thinking I need a compliment everytime I do something good.
I do not even know about life sometimes. You think you can trust a friend, but then you can't tell if they are your friend or not. I wish that the good guys wore white, and bad guys black. Your friends encouraged you, and didn't put you down. But we, or at least I, can't have that.
Godfuckingdamnit their is a borderline between ranting, getting off your chest, and being emo. That line is so lame.
Just when you think life is just their holding the lube it hands you a gold nugget. It wants to prove to that their is still hope for a person in this world. Whether its a person, an idea, or a pat on the back. Life is tricky like that. Damn you Aerosmith ruining my bad mood. Making me remember good moments.
Yeah, maybe I'll post again. I need my own blog. The thespians did not need this. Merry Christmas.

Alles Gute
Hello friends. How is everything going? Hopefully quite well. All is well over here in Germany, it's a beautiful day again after the past week of clouds and rain. How is AP Hell going for everyone? You're what, half way through? I have no idea when any of the tests are, so the most I can say is that I hope they have gone or do go well. I know Lit was on Thursday, so how did it go? Things ended up getting really messed up with trying to send a test to me here, and since my school here never responded to the BHS administration, I didn't take it. And so instead of only having one test next year as I was originally intending when I chose my courses, I will be taking five. Four of which are classes that I will have had only the year before. So I don't look forward to that at all, but it happens I guess. I'll live. I'm just bummed that I wasted so much of my time here studying for Lit when it turns out I'm not even taking it this year. But how'd it go for those that did? What was your open ended essay?
In other news, as I have said all is going well. I have a long weekend coming up next week and then I think a week or two after that I have a two week break from school. Ah, you just have to love the German school system. I have almost been here for a month and that doesn't seem real to me. It feels like maybe two weeks, sure sign that it feels like home and time is flying. The first two weeks of being here were kind of hard, it just took a while to become adjusted to life in a different country and living with a different family... But the people I am living with have made it as easy as they could. They are really a wonderful family. It is so strange for me to be living in a household like this, considering my family back in the states is almost never all home at the same time, and there always seems to be someone around that doesn't live there. And here, they eat at least one meal (usually like three) together every day. It happens maybe once every six months in my house in the states, not including holidays. So it's definitely a change and I am still not entirely used to be asked if I need anything constantly. Seriously, it is unusual if an hour passes without someone in the family asking me if I need anything.
All in all, things are way cool here. It's Europe though, so that is to be expected. I still want to try and hop over to Italy while I'm here, so that I can cross that off of my list of things to do before I die. Apparently it's really cheap to fly in Europe, so maybe I'll get to go during this two week break coming up. I'm also going to Berlin over that time span, but probably only for a few days. But anyway, I should probably get going and allow you all to move on with your lives. I hope you survive AP Hell and that the school year winds down nicely for you all.

Whitacre
So if a person walks up to me and asks me who Eric Whitacre is, I am liable to hit them in the face and say, "Only the composer of our time!" Seriously, I bought a C.D. with his pieces on it and it is insainly great, not to mention he made a song called, "Godzilla Attacks Tokyo." This man is a well established composer with many years left it him, ohh I can't wait for more Whitacre.

exam
who hates government? I DO!!!!! ap exam tomorrow and i'm sitting here blogging, oh well. i still wouldn't have taken regular cause that would have been like 100 times more boring. but atleast i didn't drop it like a few others i know did. speaking of that, how is it that someone who dropped two of their ap classes this year will be able to do as many as nine or ten next year? just a thought.
and i leave you with this wonderful scene from a great movie, see if you can find how it relates to this post.
