Review of 11th Grade

Well, people, it's that time of year again. The school year is almost over and it's time to review the school year.


Grades are as follows:

Math - B
German - D
English - A
French - C
Latin - D
Geography - C
History - C
Computer Science - C
Music - A
Psychology - B
Chemistry - C
Physics - A
Schlüsselqualifikationen (no way to directly translate that...) - A
(List may be edited at a later date because I'm not sure they're all right.)

Not my best year, as you can see, but I'm not sweating it. Next year, however, will be tough. Finals, theses and various other small projects await me. But then my high school career is over and I become a college student. Studying for free (!!!) in Semmering college of tourism management.

Let's see if I can make it.

Anyway, yesterday was the first and last showing of The Sound of Music, played by my mixed music class. I played Maria (the lead...ugh) and I've heard I was pretty good. My opinion? I was red in the face because the lights were so freaking hot, I spoke too fast and not clearly enough, my singing was wobbly and I rushed through the scenes. Everyone else was wonderful, though, and the audience (which was rather huge) went wild, which I guess is a good sign.

We (that is, the cast and members who worked on the play with us) will be getting a DVD of the show. I'm dreading it, but I guess I'll need it. I know that if our teacher tries to pull the same thing next year (she pretty much forced this play on us), I will not volunteer to be the lead.

The time has come

for another lovely update with yours truly! Ok, so this post has no real thought behind it or anything, I was just reading other blogs and got the urge (you know, the URGE, baby...-rawr-). So, the epic hair saga continues this Friday at 5pm when I go to a friend's house who'll cut it. I really wanna let my hair grow out (like, all the way), but it just looks like crap right now, so I need a cut that'll grow out nicely, you know? I'm thinking of going back to the concave look (for those of you who are confused: Short in the back, gradually growing longer toward the face) because it worked out pretty nicely last time I had it done. Of course, the last time I went to a professional and this time I'll be in someone's kitchen, but the kitchen-lady has done good work in the past as well. x) In other news, I might not have told you about the whole teachers-going-into-retirement-scheme that happened back in December 09. Well, to put it lightly: The summer before the 200...

Closing in on me

You know, I try to suppress my feelings. I see people expressing them every day and all I can see is how they just make trouble. I don't like trouble. So I keep my feelings to myself. It's sort of my defense mechanism. If I tell myself I don't care enough, I start to really not care. But lately things have been piling up. I'll be watching a show and see something like poptarts and realize that I miss them, because there's no such thing as poptarts in Austria. Or Oreos. They do have Oreos in Austria, but not how I remember them. They have the snack packs, but I want the big boxes with the rolls of Oreos in them, just because that's how I used to eat them. I miss milk. It seems weird. There's milk everywhere, right? But it doesn't taste the same. I just like it more in America. In America, I could drink glass after glass of milk, but here, I can't even take one sip without cringing. They have light and they have normal milk, and there are no gallons, j...

Family

I don't know why, but I was reading through some random woman's blog just now and she was talking about how her family gets together for the kids' birthdays and all of a sudden, it just struck me how much I miss that about my family. My family, for those of you who don't know, is pretty big. We've got the grandparents. They had four kids. Oldest and only son had five children, plus his wife. My mom is second oldest, has two children and her husband. Her younger sister has a husband and four children, and the youngest has four children and a husband, also. Not to mention the boyfriends and husbands of the grandkids. Or their children. But back to the point. We're a fairly large family and even though we're so big, we all try and get together once a month to celebrate the birthdays together. I miss that, a lot. I guess the best song for this blog entry would be 'Big Yellow Taxi' by Counting Crows. You don't know what you got till it's gone. I...
