On the first day of first grade, I'll tell you what he did, he tripped over a pencil box, flew up in the air...
Chris Rice- Billy Joe Mcguffery
We used to sing this all the time in Middle school. Good times.
Unlike now.
I hate my AP Lang class.
I like the teacher, but some of the kids there are really obnoxious.
Especially the one next to me. Doesn't know how to use an inside voice.
And I don't want Physiology. It's killing me...
In unrelated news, a week ago I took a test to see my Big Five traits.
You can see my scores here.
And although the graph is broken in the link, it looks like this (for me).
This made me feel bad, but I resolved to correct my shortcomings. 5 minutes later, with the power of will and Photoshop, this is what I got.
Much better! :D

In unrelated news, a week ago I took a test to see my Big Five traits.
The Big Five factors and their constituent traits can be summarized as follows:
- Openness - appreciation for art, emotion, adventure, unusual ideas, curiosity, and variety of experience.
- Conscientiousness - a tendency to show self-discipline, act dutifully, and aim for achievement; planned rather than spontaneous behavior.
- Extraversion - energy, positive emotions, surgency, and the tendency to seek stimulation in the company of others.
- Agreeableness - a tendency to be compassionate and cooperative rather than suspicious and antagonistic towards others.
- Neuroticism - a tendency to experience unpleasant emotions easily, such as anger, anxiety, depression, or vulnerability; sometimes called emotional instability.

An Observation Part 2.
(Utilizing previous experiences)
Hello Comrades!
It's a beautiful day in the Soviet Union and/or Communist China today, is it not?
Marching band was fun. We all experienced similar feelings of anger for too much marching, love for our love of music, and profound learning of each other's souls and feelings.
Summer is almost over. And we all don't like that.
I have had unique experiences with the doctor today, but our communal interests is much more interesting, is it not, comrade?
The new show is very elaborate and difficult, but I have a feeling that we all will be just fine and get it down great!
I am very busy at the moment, but the discussing of our integral feelings and the sharing of stories is much more exciting, and hopefully will make each one of us more endearing to the next, comrade.
Remember, comrades, marching band would not be marching band without the marching!
Until our great leaders call upon us once again,
[insert nom de plume here]
(End satire)

An Observation.
Observation 1: Many more posts are posted after Marching Band started.
Observation 2: Much fewer posts were posted during summer.
Observation 3: Most of the bloggers were away from each other during the summer.
Assumption 1: There would be more blogging during summer, to share experiences that were solely experienced by one blogger. Assumption Wrong.
Assumption 2: There would be less blogging during Marching Band, as most bloggers experience the same experiences. Assumption Wrong.
Assumption 3: Assumptions 1 & 2 would be most definitely correct. Assumption Wrong.
Conclusion 1: Sharing unique experiences is either a) boring to the blogger or b) boring to the reader.
Conclusion 2: Bloggers were too lazy over the summer to blog or post.
Conclusion 3: Bloggers were too busy over the summer to blog or post.
Conclusion 4: Bloggers want to share shared experiences with each other.
Conclusion 5: Bloggers dislike uniqueness or individuality.
Conclusion 6: Blogspot is full of Communists.
Conclusion 7: Conclusions 5 & 6 were an attempt at humor derived from fallacy.
Conclusion 8: Bloggers tend to post like, and similar posts.
Final Conclusion: For a successful blog, one must post about similar and shared experiences, all the while avoiding procrastination or too much work.

Sometimes, running away is the right answer.
Ugh. Marching band is tiring. So is everything else. Forensics tomorrow. Doctor's appointment on Monday to check my heart. School soon. AP Lang summer assignments. Wrong classes. I can't believe I got Physiology, even though that is the last class I want. I want to just ditch everything and relax, but I guess I got enough of that in the last 3 weeks.
On brighter note, I'm back from Las Vegas which was really awesome. We watched Phantom of the opera, which was exhilarating. Too many buffets too. Good thing I'm working it off in Marching band. Also, had a moderately good day with friends.
I can hear the piles of unfinished work calling my name. Later.
