Bilder didn't like our essays! We have to rewrite it for Thursday!

It's been awhile since i wrote - nothing much has happened. I now have 14 hours of time, we installed the mouse utilities - double clicking and icondoit. Bill says I should use 'The Forgotten (Part Two)' for the Talent Show. I fixed the Auto-reverse Sony walkman last night! The rubber band that drives the capstans was off of the actual motor wheel. all you had to do (once you got it open) was put the rubber band back on! They were gonna charge me $50 to do that! I also had to adjust the tape speed because not knowing I had messed it up while I was trying to open it. 'later!

Yes!

MF order comes today. Yesterday I got two advisories. AAAAAH! I hate this. Now I'm having to do makeup work from a long time ago. Today I have to work on the essay 'till the MF order comes. Then, it's happy time! Mami says "When you're done with your work, THEN you can play guitar." I haven't played guitar since Saturday! I need to practice every day! They say I need a 'balance' between guitar and school - I can't always play guitar and flunk in school. Fine. But I don't hear them talking about 'balance' when all I'm doing is school work.

Doing Bilder essay. It's due Friday. Tomorrow's my birthday. I ordered a _huge_ musician's friend order ($300). I got: an EQ, a compressor, the maxima gold strings, polish, the 8 dollar earplugs, the midi interface, a headphone amp (awesome)(Hott Watt II), and I think that's it. It should come in two days - Wednesday. I can't wait. I should have bought the book, 'Flying Fingers.' I forgot.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! There is so much Bilder work! She told me I could do them little by little, but when Mami talked to her, she said that I owed it to her and that I had to do it now! So I've been working all weekend. Ed and the Green Day bassist are coming over today. I had a wierd dream! I was in the Lumina at the beach and there were huge waves. They were covering the van. But I wasn't scared or anything. I was just there, 'Cool.' Then one of the waves picked the van up and I went out floating into the ocean in these huge waves. A surfer saw me and pulled the Lumina back to shore with one hand while paddling with the other. I was there 'Thanks, dude' like it was nothing. By the way, I was alone in the Lumina. I don't know where the rest of the family was. Wierd.

SF project came out great! Hearing Primus. Tomorrow is Thursday; I'm taking the guitar. That's about it.

SF project almost done; due tomorrow! I'm starting to get kind of sleepy.

Finished Bilder questions and SF report - now on to the display.

They assigned me my SF # - HS7M. Ryan was absent today. I have to practice guitar!!!! Ed already knows 2 of the 3 songs and I know none. I'm gonna call Adam today. I learned the rest of 'Tears in Heaven' and part of 'Hey hey.' George is going to lend me the book on Eric Clapton Unplugged.

Last night was pretty cool. We took Ryan back to his house - He lives in the middle of nowhere! We were driving for an hour to get to his house. Then we got lost trying to get back! He was cool, though. I got FracTint - It's also cool. My favorite fractal up to now is the plasma. I made it the wallpaper.

We played at the ring ceremony today. Ryan's sleeping over.

We recorded the two songs today. It came out fine. My bed time is a half hour later tonight.

Went over to Ed's house, got the tape of YYZ and Janis Joplin. He's gonna take the double bass drums tomorrow for recording. Cool. Now, I gotta do the Bilder questions.

They didn't go by the store. Andres got angry at me for asking why. I asked him why he was in a bad mood - he said it was because I was always asking him stupid questions. Ok... I asked him if wondering if there was any reason why they didn't go to the store was stupid, and he went into his 'Blah, Blah, Blah...' mode... You know andres.

My birthday's in two weeks! I'll be 15. Nieves gave me an extra credit homework today to help me avoid summer school. He is really impressed with my improvement. He's pretty cool. Still working on SF project. Took Span. test on El Cid. I did fine. Tomorrow we record 'Seperate Ways' and 'Insane'. Cool. Have to polish the Jackson... Bill is buying the DI today. I forgot to tell them to get me polish and a cloth. Oh well.
