Drum Solo!

Hey I had to quickly come on write about the exciting happening in my life!
I had my first drum lesson today! It was so much fun! I learned three rhythms and three fills. The fricking high hat is the hardest part. I do not like it. But apparently I learned in three minutes what other people take a month to learn. I'm not sure if she's saying that because I am actually really good, or just to get my confidence up about my pathetic high hatting skillz. She says I have a natural sense of rhythm, and I also learned that I learn better if she actually plays the rhythm than when she tells me. What kind of learning is that? I'm sure there's a name for it. Anyway, drums were so impossibly fun that it was like OPIUM! (not that I've ever tried opium. Hee hee hee)
Also we played in jazz band what is quite possible the worst arrangement of Oh Canada in the world. And apparently I get stuff easier than everyone else. Me and Danielle actually, but whereas she is "arrogant and cocky" (her words not mine) I don't really think I'm that much better than everyone else. So she's telling me I need to be more cocky! Yay!
Hmm, what else happened. Had a science test, and I really don't want to think about what I got on that test. One question was "is a straight line always the best fit? Explain." I had no idea whatsoever on what the heck he was asking, as we had never talked about anything remotely close to that at all. The one thing I could think of that he was asking were jeans.
I'm really hungry. In wellness Malerie was being a biatch. Amanda didn't catch the ball and she was like "can you try please?" We can't all be jocks. Some of us are actually intelligent.
Oops, did I just say that out loud?
Anyway, on the bus to band yesterday there was me, Gillian, Stacey, Danielle, Brittany, Phil, and Jonas, and Jonas and I were talking about how at the dance when we were in the library we each had two different ear phones in. Brittany was like "I didn't know you could go to the library!" and we were talking about how fun it was not to go and she's like "why would you not want to go?" and I'm like "well, there's people wiggling stupidly to stupid music with stupid people. What's the point?" and she was like "wiggling stupidly?" THAT'S WHAT I SAID MORON! And then Phil was like "why not go to social gatherings?" like we're some kind of primitive cavemen. Hmm, I really want to hang out with pricks like you for two hours, when I could be hanging with my friends and pranking Mr. Zaluski. Which would I rather do? That's a toughie. I was getting so mad. Like, it's her mission to assimilate us or something. DO NOT CONFORM! That's my motto. I was talking to Jonas and said something about the geeks and he's like "you mean the people that are going to take over the world?" and I was like "yeah, those ones."
Tonight is that masterclass thing. I don't want to go, I'll mess up or something. I can't really take criticism...sad but true.
Anyway, I better go. Ciao!

I have no fricking idea. His blog is in German. Apparently he reads my blog.
I would rather we not invite Mr. Zaluski to the lib. I'd rather have Mr. Farrell again. Or Popo! That would be a party!
We should invite Mr. Ruetz's twin. Lol.
