[-Hey All-]

Today is ok. Eh, not the greatest. I'm frickin' worried abou this AP test. Oh lordy, I need to study, but what the hell is my problem? I'm an idiot. Anyway, guitar was fun. He just bought this Eric Clapton signature acoustic guitar, which is cool. He let me play it, but I played this stupid song which is easy and gay. I should have played Layla, cuz it was Eric Clapton signature, get it? Ok nevermind. Yea, but it was fun. I just suck. I'm not being hard on myself, I mean, I do think that I'm good for as long as I've been playing, but I can be a lot better. I want to be as good and better than everyone else. So, we're just gonna have to practice more and do things more slowly because I'm just trying to go for speed, which is retarded because it obviously doesn't sound as good. So I need to do that. I was reading this guy's newsletter. He thinks a LOT of himself. His name is Jamey Andreas or something like that. I mean, yeah, he does have some good advice and stuff about playing, but he always says how he helps people to play their best and that he corrects all their bad techniques, ect... and it sorta pisses me off. But hey, whatever. Um, yea. I'm gonna stop with guitar for now because it's sorta frustratin' me now. I want to be good. I'm gonna make flash cards for myself so I can learn the fretboard. Cuz I need to do that too. But I'm getting better, "a little bit better all the time."

We had a team dinner tonight. It was fun. It was at Sam's house. We had lasagna. It was good. We watched Enough. It was a pretty good movie, suspenseful. Yep. I guess that's about it. Oh just kidding. We've been doing that STAR (Standard Testing And Reporting) testing lately. It's pretty boring after you get done with the test. Dude, my CD player is so loud when you turn it on. Not the volume, the mechanism that turns the CD. So I press play, then everyone looks at me. Damn. Oh well. Yea, then today there was a lock-down. A real one. It was scary. It always seems to me that I'm the only one who cares and is actually panicked. Whatever, apparently some guy threw some girl out of a window near "our" neighborhood and some dude was running around with a gun. So yea, that's pretty scary, and then Amanda was saying that last week 3 guys were planning to go around our campus and randomly shoot at students. Ok what the hell. Our school has like no security ever. Our school isn't even inside. There are no hallways or corridors, it's just open. So I don't know if that's true or not because Morgan told her this. But anyway, I thought it was scary. So I guess that's it noooww. Better finish those 4 math problems, well, the last four. Then get some sleep. Ciao.
