Ok. So I just realized I haven't made an entry in a while. So this is about why I haven't been able to write.
So here's my excuses:
Marching Band
AP Bio
yeah. That's it. But to my defense, they do take up almost all of my day.
AP Bio's the worst though, because I don't understand what's going on. Like right now...I'm procrastinating a lab that's due tomorrow to write this. (and it's 7:40pm) when I usually get tired around 9:30. And the labs are pretty big. Right now we're learning about plants, and I have no knowledge to base it off of, because we never covered plants in regular bio my sophomore year. So I'm floundering, trying to stay afloat...but it's not really working. I can't tell the difference between the archegonia and antheridia of the gametophytes.... And the alternation of generations just confuses me. And I probably just lost about 5 readers just from that. Don't worry. I don't blame anyone. I probably would have stopped reading too if someone posted that. SORRY!!! =P
But so I just came on to tell you about how I'm struggling with my homework. And it's only still September. *sigh* this is going to be a looooong year. D=

adventures
Today was an adventure. My dad stayed home from work sick, so I got to take his car to school! =D Sorry Dad for your ill-being, but I am glad to take advantage of it and make a positive outcome out of your suffering...=) <3
Then today in school, I had to talk to two of the four vice principals and the head principal about what happened on the bus yesterday. It was a...um....adventure................-_-
After school I felt like a responsible drum major and senior who can drive because I drove someone home who didn't have a ride. =D That was also an adventure because I got to go into a development I'm still learning my way around.
Then I came home and decided I wanted to film a vlog or something, but I realize that I don't own my own camera. But then I remembered that I have a webcam sitting on the top of my laptop, staring me in the face. So I was about to use that, when I realized that I hadn't installed Adobe Premiere Elements onto this computer yet. =O And I would have gone on that adventure to my mom's computer desk to get it, but that would have involved moving....so I decided to skip that adventure. Maybe I'll make a vlog some other time.......Hopefully I'll borrow a camera soon.
One other adventure for today was during marching band. In the first song of our show, I'm backfield to conduct the people who are facing away from the audience. So far, I haven't stood on anything. So today the equipment crew brought me a ladder to stand on. And by ladder, I mean a ladder. And I stand all the way on the top and wave my arms around. I am absolutely sure I'm going to fall off at some point. Some windy competition a nice big gust is going to come and swoop me off that thing. I stand on it and press my legs against the step that you're not supposed to step on so as to get some grip. My feet are facing weird ways so as to not slip off....*shakes head* It's going to be bad.

band, academics, and stupid people, oh my!
Today was...interesting. We started playing concert music in band, so I finally got to play my flute! Down side was that it was the first time I had picked up my flute in AGES. And the song we played was not easy....in the least bit. We kinda died a bit after playing that song. But the piece sounds good and we supposedly have 6 months to learn it. The thing is, I feel like I and the rest of the band will be able to pull it off. =D
In math class, we took a test on stuff we learned in previous years, and there was a whole section on stuff I hadn't learned. So I taught myself how to do it while actually doing the test. I probably got it all wrong, but it would have been worse to not try. Who knows...maybe I actually am brilliant and can figure out stuff automatically. =P
As probably none of you know, I have two sciences this year. I'm taking physics and AP Biology. During physics, we did this lab where you roll a ball down the slope and clock the time. And someone at the adjacent table to mine dropped the marble down the sink. The convo went a little like this:
*Rebecca puts the marble on wrong and it falls off the slope, into the sink and down the drain*
-everyone laughs-
me: Um..Mr. Rose?
Mr Rose looks up and comes over: What happened?
Adam (a kid in the other group): A marble fell down the drain.
-the whole group is giggling-
Mr Rose cracks a smile: who did it?
everyone points at Rebecca
Mr Rose: I love how everyone points to you. Not even to your group. Just you. Now you owe me a marble. Not a pack. Just one.
soo...I'm pretty sure that wasn't nearly as funny as it actually was, but I decided to keep that there just because it took too damn long to type. haha
In AP Bio, 8th period, we got back our super hard test from the other day that I thought I failed. And to no one's surprise, I got a 56 on it. Well, at least I got better than a 50. But we also took a safety quiz and I got a 100 on that, so that's half of a test grade. And I got my grade for my summer lab back and I got a 98. So my grade should at least be a C....I'm not exactly sure how the half test grade fits in. So I'm not failing the class like I thought I was. Awesome. One failing test isn't that bad....as long as it's ONLY one failing test.
After school I got on the bus and these stupid, stupid freshmen boys think they're really cool and start badmouthing my little sister. So I stood up and started bitching them out. Now, if any of you know me, I'm not a hardass. I'm not the one to stand up and yell at someone. I was, once upon a time, but I learned better of that, and for the past how long, I haven't really been known to be outspoken. But I let these kids have it. And luckily, this time, I have absolutely no regrets with anything I said. I stayed inside the limits of what is reasonable to say to someone who was picking on my little sister.
When I got home, I immediately went online and started talking to my friend, Ludo. I made fun of him the first time I talked to him because he lives in England and his name is Ludo and I just thought of Ludo Bagman from Harry Potter. =D =D Nahh but his real name is Alexander or something. I dont know. But he's really cool and funny and I love talking to that guy. Seriously. I've only known him for a few weeks yet, and already I feel like he's a best friend. Crazy how that works, huh?
But now dinner's ready and although I'm not very hungry, I know I will be hungry in a hour. And by that time, the food will be nasty and cold. So here I go.

#1, me, parades, Gilmore Girls, sleeping, Glee <---very interesting title, I know... =P
This is my first blog.
This is the second line in my first blog.
I don't know what to put in the third line of my first blog and I'm starting to get bored of the pattern.
So yeah....=P So my name is Katie for those of you who don't know me. At the time of writing this, I am 17 years old. I live in northern New Jersey and am a senior in high school. And because I love all you guys, and I trust you, I would like to actually talk to you guys. So hit me up! My number is 201-808-6011. Cant wait to hear from you.
So about me and my interests. I am currently embarking on the journey that is apply for colleges. Oh the joys of essays and transcripts. -_- For those of you who are interested in what I want to do with my life, I want to be a marine biologist. I don't know exactly what I want to do with that field of study, but anything sounds good. I am in my school's marching band and am one of the three drum majors. I love to laugh. Not the over-the-top obnoxious how-many-people-can-i-get-to-turn-their-heads laugh either; just the feeling of laughing makes me so....happy =D
Enough about who I am. Hopefully you will figure out a bit more of my personality throughout my blogging.
So with that little bit of info, I will start on what is my blog:
Today was my town's 175 anniversary. We are...100 and 75 years old. Duh. And to celebrate the occasion, some SUPER SMART person decided to organize an event that involved a few marching bands, dance studios and a bunch of fake bears riding around on top of fire trucks to parade across the town. It was a bit too....Gilmore Girls to me. I felt like Luke in my coffee shop, not wanting to get involved. But unfortunately, as one of the drum majors in the marching band, I was obliged to go and take part of this oh-so-happy event. And I didn't even get any coffee =(
But backing up a bit, last night I slept for a record 13 hours. It was at ridiculous times too. I fell asleep at 7:30 pm and woke up at 8:30 am. Crazy. But sleeping felt SOOOOO nice. I've been running on NOT enough sleep these past few weeks and havn't had the time to sleep in. So this one weekend night was amazing. It also shows what a life I have if I can manage to fall asleep at 7:30 on a saturday night. hmm..... I have friends I swear! =D
Ok...going forward again, I watched the first episode of Glee today and O.M.G I loved it! I've had Don't Stop Believing stuck in my head all day. I think I might like that version better than the actual song. Kinda sad, but its true. It kinda helps a bit that the guy in the show is amazingly gorgeous. Sorry. I had to just put that out there. But I really liked the show. More review as the series progresses. It's a shame though because it's on at 9 on Wednesdays and I have band practice 6-9 on wednesdays. And we never end at 9. It's always 9:15 or something. Which means I don't get home til around 9:25. So I'm just going to either record it or watch the episodes on Hulu. I love that site by the way. I get to watch Lost there. (I keep trying to catch up to the current season, but I only ever manage to watch about 2 or 3 episodes at a time...I'm in season 2 right now.... and I've been trying for about 8 months now) The only thing I don't like about Hulu is that it doesn't have Dr. Who on there. My friend sent me a site for it, but I keep forgetting it. If it was on hulu, I wouldn't have to search every time.
But now its after 10 on a Sunday night and I have school tomorrow. Possible blog on highlights and low points of my day? I don't know...we'll see how we feel when the time comes. Who knows...maybe tomorrow will be the most boring day of my life. O_O But anyway, I still have to read two chapters of The Stranger by someone-who-I'm-too-lazy-to-check-their-name. I just got past the part when the main guy shoots the Arab guy. I don't know...I'm hardly paying attention to this one. It's a school assigned book, so I don't really have a choice not to read it except to fail... and I kinda don't want to do that. So night all! And I'm wondering if anyone actually called that number I posted...because that's the Rejection Hotline...not my actual number........=P Oh well, I still love all you guys...maybe eventually I'll get a skype...live shows possibly?
