i can't deal with it!! the school year just started and it's almost over. but it's going SO SLOWLY...i skipped half my school day today 'cuz we had a "shakespeare festival" in english. we acted out differnt scences in different styles. i was the scriptwriter for my scene. we got "alternate ending." how stupid is that? everyone died anyway. i got roped into being an actor 'cuz someone was absent- i was lady montague (romeo's mom). our scene style was James Bond, of course, but the title became "the story of double-o romeo and agent j." they were spies in verona, england. everyone else was like, rapping their scenes or they were soap operas or something stupid. ours was the best, mwa ha ha ha ha. and so the week drags on...i just have to hold on till friday, and then i have a week of finals, and then it will all be over. i'm excited cause i get to go to italy in august to visit my family...too bad i decided to be random and learn french. they don't knbow english, so it's kind of a sign-languagey thing. whatever, it's so much fun! and i saw angels and demons, so i will follow the "path of illumination" in rome. can't wait!! later
