The Last Day of Happiness

Well, today has been up and down. My first day of school wasn't horrible...but every teacher except Denny decided to give me homework, and our books are beastly this year. The title corresponds to school because I have decided that I don't enjoy 6 periods. Now you may be saying to yourselves, "Crystal, you've had 6 periods for 2 years already" and I know that, but I've had to think in maybe like 3 of them. Last year= encore, french, drama, and TOK for my pretty much no thinking classes. I mean really, as hard as the classes were...I didn't need to think in them...yes sometimes I did but you know what I mean. Now, I have 6 thinking classes. And having TOK zero period just throws me off, well drama 4th does the same. And, like I said, the books this year are beastly. I mean they are humungous and they weigh like 20 pounds each! ANyway, overall classes went well, but I wasn't too happy with the homework already.

In other news, my friend Betsy is going to be dancing with Oregon Ballet Theatre for the rest of her time in Oregon...I'm assuming she's going to stay there and dance while she lives in Oregon. Now this is both great news and depressing news. Great for her...bummer for me. She goes to Glencoe and was on the dance team...guess she won't be doing that anymore. Also, she won't be taking classes at New Vision anymore because OBT is so demanding. I pretty much won't see her anymore because she doesn't go to my school and I'll be so busy with dance and so will she that we won't get quality time together. Also, she didn't tell me about it, but somehow both Courtney and Becca knew. This makes me really sad because I'm a good friend to her too...at least that's what I thought. I would think if she told them, she would tell me...but somehow that didn't happen. Now not only will I be short a friend at dance, but I'll be short a dancer in my dance I choreographed. I know that is not as important, but I'm at a road block. I had her and Bubba doing a Pas de Deux (duet) and now that she's not dancing it I don't know who to put there. Sure I could dance it, but that would seem cocky to those who wouldn't know I was dancing in Betsy's place. And since we're perfoming this at a student choreography thing, everyone is going to know I choreographed it, so it wouldn't be like a teacher saying that I got the duet in the first place. I could have someone else dance it, but quite frankly, I can't see anyone else dancing it...no one else would do it the way I would want it done...Betsy would and she'd probably make it better. I know I should probably use who I've got, but it troubles me that I don't think anyone else is good enough to dance the Pas....I could use Brooke and I'd be fine with her, but then it's like "Ph she's my sister so that's why I'm giving her the part" and that's not the case at all. I'm going to ask my dance teacher what I should do. I'm planning on taking Betsy's spot up until the Pas partner is needed and I'll see what Miss Elizabeth says.

Try outs for the fall play are Monday and Tuesday. Soon I know, but we do perform at the end of October. Yicks!

Well, I should get a move on with my homework. That's it for now.
