New Things

My life has recently consisted of quite a lot of new things. On Saturday, I began rehearsals for Cinderella, which, while not exactly new, is different from what I had been spending my Saturdays doing. Not that my other Saturdays were oh-so-interesting, but they were at least spent at my house... in my room... not dancing. On Tuesday, I began playing tennis for my school team. Unfortunately, I fail miserably at tennis and have therefore been reduced to the JV B-team, which in no way lives up to my perfectionist expectations. I am determined, however, to do my best, and work hard to achieve higher than I am currently achieving (which really would be no trouble if I was any good at tennis). In addition to my troubles with tennis, following my struggles on the court on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, I will attend up to three hours of dance class. So not only will I be attempting to complete homework for four honors classes, but I will also be struggling to play tennis and perfect a multitude of variations and dances for Cinderella. It makes me tired just to think about it. This week has also been the week of CSAPs, the Colorado standardized tests which involve an awful lot of sitting and completing work that is completely pointless and ridiculously boring. Such as writing an entire essay about why or why not art and music classes should be required to graduate. I thought that they already were. Who knows. Either way, I'm clear. To conclude my stints in new things this week, I have signed up for an online driving class. With my obnoxiously busy schedule, we decided it would be pointless for me to try to get my learner's permit prior to my 15th birthday on April 25th in a traditional class, so I get to be stuck on a webpage for forty minutes that takes me twenty minutes to read, and then I take a five-question quiz on the information in the passage at the end. I don't really understand how it's supposed to teach me the rules of driving that I ought to know before I sit in the driver's seat, but as long as I don't have to take the class (by the way, this is similar to my reasoning for participating in tennis, as one season of a sport replaces one semester of standard physical education) I don't really mind. So. There's my list of new things. Along with that, I suppose, should be sleep. Today. That doesn't even make sense. Oh well. What I am trying to say is that I really should go to sleep. I should close my driving website, with my time on there supposedly being 23 minutes, although I haven't really read any of it. I really should put my brand-new book in the bookshelf and kick away my library books. I ought to turn out my light and go to sleep. I can start with step one, which involves posting this and closing my computer. So good-night to you, although it most likely won't be good-night to my beautiful books. I sound insane. I promise I'm not. Really. Please don't think I'm crazy. Pleeeeeease. Thanks. 'Night. Once and for all.
