This is all a big production and I'm waiting for the curtain to fall and the laugh track to play so that I won't have to think so much.

If there's one thing that I've been doing a whole lot these days, it's thinking. Especially along the lines of my "honor-roll-drama" of a few days ago. Gosh I feel like an idiot for posting that. I guess I was pretty caught up in the moment, and believe me the moment has long since passed. Sometimes I wonder, though - what is it that makes some people able to pay attention and work hard and get a 90% while some people pay attention and work hard and get a 70%? How does it work? Why is it like that? Why can't we all be the same that way? I suppose there's a reason and I know that everyone-is-different-in-their-own-special-way and all of that other Barney-the-Purple-Dinorsaur fluff but I guess Barney's got a point - it's sort of like that biological diversity sutff that we talked about in science today, right? Maybe people have different genetic makeups, different DNA, that allow them to do different things and allow them to process information differently. Somebody's personal best may be a 70% and someone else's may be a 90% and that's okay. People have different capabilities. Sometimes it doesn't seem fair, but it's okay.

Another thing I've been thinking about is that whole Junior-High Social Scene. Yesterday I spent far too much time on the phone with people discussing the latest "she-said-she-didn't-tell-her-but-she-did-even-though-I-told-her-not-to-tell" crisis. [can you see me rolling my eyes?] I hate this so much but more often than not, I'm a part of it. Go figure.

Tomorrow I'm registering for Shyna classes! Wheeeee!

This entry had better save or I will flip my lid.

Today I discovered that there is a big 20th Anniversary Alberta Ukrainian Dancing Gala preformance coming up! I HAVE TO GO! I've been trying to convince my parents all evening. The prospects look good. I think that they understand how much this means to me. [my mom even mentioned me possibly inviting a friend! possibly. Maybe. But still..Wheeeeeee!] Cheremosh, Shumka, Tryzub, Dunai, Vohon, Trembita and Volya are ALL going to preform there. That is like everybody. I havent seen Cheremosh preform live in ages, and it's even been a few years since I've been to Shumka's Cinderella [gag me with a spoon - everybody's getting up and dying and getting up and dying.]. Volya I saw preform in June, and I have
never ever seen Trembita, Dunai or Tryzub preform in my lifetime!

AND I WOULD GET TO SEE ALL OF THEM PREFORM IN ONE BIG SHOW!!!

Do you have any idea how AMAZING this would be for me!?!?!?

Wow - I've gone off on yet another Ukrainian dancing rant. Somebody get the hook!

I've been drinking lots of water lately and I really have to go to the bathroom again. [for like the bazillionth time today. geez.] So I think I'll call it quite for tonight so I can do that. And if this entry doesn't save I will have a heart attack.
