Leap Day Miracle

So here I am, at 2:21, writing my blog, a minute after school has ended.

But wait.

I didn't go to school today.

You know why?

Cuz we had a freaking SNOW DAY.

That's right, I'll say it to you again: we. had. a. snow. day. WE NEVER HAVE SNOW DAYS! I was eating my breakfast, when I heard the name of our school district on the news. I couldn't believe my ears. I ran to the TV, grabbed the remote, and rewound, pushed "play," rewound, pushed "play," rewound, and pushed "play" again.

I couldn't believe it. A FREAKING SNOWDAY. I would have gone back up to go to sleep, but i was far too excited:

Clearly, so was everybody else. I had logged on to Facebook and Twitter to find that my news feeds were already flooded with "YAY IT'S A SNOW DAY" statuses and tweets. It truly was something to celebrate, as we haven't had a snow day in 5 years...which is ridiculous since we live in minneSNOWta. (Sorry, I know a lot of Minnesotans hate that joke, but I had to make it.)

In other news, I got callbacks for Paul, one of the characters in "A Chorus Line." It's pretty exciting, but as one of my friends wisely advised me, I shouldn't get my hopes too high. After all, it'll only make having them crushed hurt more. Anyway, Paul has a really emotional monologue. You basically have to be crying at the end, and lemme tell ya, it's hard. A great audition for Paul can be found here. But I am feeling pretty good about it. There were two times where I was able to fully emotionally connect:

Well, I'm going to go be a fatty, practice my monologue, watch SMASH, or whatever the hell else I want to do.

Potatoes-The Toes of a Pota

HOLY POOP! I need to make a post right now!

Sidenote, when I typed the words "'holy poop," this was the thought that immediately entered my head:

Yeah....

So yesterday I auditioned for the school show, "A Chorus Line":

And personally, I thought it went really well. Something really cool was that the dance auditions were done in the same order as the auditions are done in the show. To be honest, I couldn't really pick out who would or wouldn't make it into the show, since we literally had some of the most talented people in our grade audition. Our director is going to have a pickle trying to figure this one out.

After the audition, I went directly to work. I'm a lifeguard, and my job can basically be summed up here:

Just Kidding. I'm a pretty nice lifeguard...but it's what I'm thinking, though.

I was on tumblr the other day, when I came across this picture:

Honestly, it's the greatest thing in the WORLD.

Speaking of potatoes, whenever I hear someone say "potatoes," I always like to say "Pota Toes" back at them. I realized that this sounded like I was referring to the toes of a creature I made up called the "Pota":

Potas are now my best friend.

Writing about the Pota reminded me of the great post I read on Hyperbole and a Half about the "Alot." Read it here.

"Hi! I'm Rapidly Aging Man!"

The above quote was said by my wonderfully strange friend, Allison. I still don't know the context of this quote, but it suits this post really well.

I decided to make another post just before the end of my weekend because yesterday I went to a dance at my school. When I got there, who should I see but my lovely AP Composition teacher:

Haha just kidding, her eyes weren't growing THAT red.
Anyway, I decided to take Ms. Prokott's subtle hint and update my blog again.

Today I updated for high school classes for the last time. After logging off the registration site, that's when it hit me:

I'm going to be a senior.

HOLY CRAP!! I'm getting older! Pretty soon I'm going to be in college! Then I'm going to get even older and get married! And have kids! And next thing you know I'll be an old man slowly disintegrating into a pile of dust!

I have no idea why the old me is making pooping sounds in this picture.

Posting

So I've been thinking about how often I'm going to be updating this blog. To be honest, the only times where I'll have time to make full posts, like with pictures and everything, will be during the weekend. So if I ever update this blog during the week, they'll probably be short posts with just words. Just like this one.

This Week

Hey guys.

So I was on Facebook the other day when I saw this status:

This status totally described my life at the moment. This week has felt so freaking long, and so stressful, it's kind of ridiculous.

Anyway, I was originally going to title this post "I HATE EVERYTHING!!" because I ended up using that phrase a lot this week:

Sidenote: I actually did end up chucking my calculator across the room. But then I ended up checking on it because it was an 80 dollar calculator. Totally ruined the angsty mood.

Another sidenote: This happened multiple times throughout the week. By Friday, I was ready to throw that table across the room, too.

So yeah, that was my week. It wasn't really that bad, but with one little frustration after the other, I was a time bomb ready to blow.

My Weekend

Hey, Sorry I wasn't able to blog in the past week...I'm honestly not sure how often I'll be able to blog, with school and everything. I thought I'd write a brief post about my weekend.

My weekend, was insanely bipolar.

It started out on Friday, where I had my Improv Show. I'm a member of the school's Improv Troupe, and the Improv Show is basically where we get together and perform improv games in front of an audience. Really, it was just a time for me to liberate and be silly while wearing a blue jumpsuit (our troupe's "uniform").

Don't I just look like a freak? Exactly.
So I went from the silliness of the improv show on Friday, to Les Miserables on Saturday. Les Mis is one of the most emotional, powerful, and strong musicals ever. This was basically me the whole time:

So that's my weekend, Just thought I'd update so I can get into the swing of blogging often.

Sorry about that crappy last picture, I was making it in a rush.
