Ugh. I just finished my Chemistry Regents (Well, technically I came home, downed a Grande Caramel Macchiato, slept for 2 hours, and then I sat down with you) and it was...memorable. Technically, it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. I mean, I knew the majority of the questions due to the frantic studying I accomplished between getting my Final back and 1 o'clock this afternoon. It's just absolute madness that we learn all year for this horrendous exam. Our first clue would be that only California is the other state stupid enough to fall for this annual torture method inflicted on innocent High School students. Thankfully, I'm not desperately unintelligent, but Chemistry is most definitely not my strong suit. It does make me feel alot better, though, that whenever you mention Chemistry to the average High School graduate, you'll get a groan and probably a VERY sympathetic look. That helps.
But lets not dwell on the highly unpleasant things of life - the test is over and now all I can do is wait for the inevitable and much-too-important grade. No, let's talk about music. I've been discovering lots of brand new artists that are lesser known to me but well worth having in my iTunes. Like Johnny Cash. Man, is he fun to listen to! I mean, I know I'm like 60 years later than his time or something, but songs like Walk the Line and Ring of Fire are just plain awesome. Oh, and Herman's Hermits? Yeah, they're pretty hilarious. In a good way, mind - I have their Greatest Hits, and 'Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter' is adorable. Gotta love those British people. I also got some more of the absolutely wonderful James Blunt (another talented Brit), along with some Bon Jovi. Apparently, not having heard anything he's ever done is a huge hole in my musical education (at least that's what my brother, Jim, informed me).
With the start of Summer comes books - dozens, hundreds, thousands. I've just finished one that seemed all too familiar, until I realized that it was just Mulan with a few differences. I finished it anyway. It seems kind of wrong not to finish a book once you've really started; I've never been able to successfully stop reading book just because I didn't like it. Somehow, I feel like the author would find out and be extremely offended, or something. Have you ever just stopped reading a book? If so, do you remember which one it was? I'd really like to know.
Since we're going down the Media route, let's discuss a new show that I'm sort of addicted to: Glee. I have a feeling I should be a little embarrassed by the fact that I really, really like this show, but, for someone who has a Twilight, Eclipse, and High School Musical t-shirts, it doesn't seem so bad. Glee is just like HSM, only with better acting and a LOT more talent. And....well...Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson) makes it all worth while. That's all I'm going to say on that subject. Have you seen an episode of Glee, or is this the first you've heard of it?
Today My Life is Backwards because I'm a home schooled student who had to take the worst Regents of them all - Chemistry.
