Ave Maria

Ave Maria - Biebl
Cupertino High School 2011-2012 Cappella.
Words cannot describe how proud I am of my choir. When you listen to this recording, keep in mind, we are a high school choir making music at this aptitude.
The best way to listen to this song is to put in earphones, turn it up a little bit, and just close your eyes and relax.
Listen
Romeo and Juliet// The Killers
it always bothers me how pop culture portrays romeo and juliet as the ultimate love story—people seem to neglect the fact that at the end, they kill themselves. romeo and juliet isn’t a happy ending, and this is the only song that i’ve heard with references to romeo and juliet that reflects that.
also, i just adore the killers.

because obviously watching a james bond movie with my dad while trying to write my lit essay is a good idea
i have a lot of homework to do
but the fact that there are only four more days of school before grad practice and the fact that none of this stuff has any effect on my grades or my future are making it really hard for me to be willing to buckle down and do it.

Beck - Gamma Ray
one of my faves of his
because we were just talking about how our music tastes were too similar
i've realized that sometimes i have a hard time distinguishing between things i like and things that i am familiar with.
take music, for example. i tend to like songs that i am familiar with, that i’ve heard come up on pandora multiple times or have encountered on the radio. sometimes songs i initially don’t even like end up being ones that i will eventually say i like simply because i’ve heard them before.
it’s not a conscious thing; i didn’t realize i did it until recently. i do it in other parts of my life, too. food, clothing, even people sometimes. i’m comfortable with familiarity, so somewhere subconsciously i translate comfort into enjoyment.
i still haven’t decided whether or not this is a problem.
i miss exactly 4 people from middle school.
i hope in four years i can look back on high school and say that i miss more than that.
homework?
i’d prefer not to.

I Am Not Yours
OH MY GOD. I’ve been looking for this song!!
Cappella Choir ‘10-‘11
I Am Not Yours
yuri found it! this is the song.
“
I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love — put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.
i'm pretty sure i'm going to spend the whole day beet red tomorrow
this has been your cryptic ellen post for the day
walking back and forth and back and forth across cupertino
senior ditch day was a lot of fun. you can’t go wrong with fresh air and good company.

there is this bird.
never before have i hated a bird as much as i hate this bird. every night for the past few days, this bird starts singing around midnight or 1am, usually exactly the time i am trying to get to sleep.
now if it were morning and i were waking up to this peacefully, i bet it would be pleasant. but it’s not morning, and i am trying to sleep. Every three seconds or so it changes its call, so it’s like a car alarm in that you can’t tune out the sound because it’s constantly changing. i lay in bed trying to sleep, but this stupid bird singing at outrageous hours seems dead-set on making sure that will never happen.
i just want to go to sleep.
can i also point out
NO MORE AP EXAMS EVER AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN
NAAAAAAAAAANTS INGONYAMAAAAA--
BAGITHI BABAAAAAAAA!
nah, that's cool byu
it’s not as though i have to graduate in four weeks or anything.
no rush on the whole “grading assignments so i can order my final” thing.
it’s only been an entire week since i submitted it, don’t bother making it a priority. it’s not like expeditiousness is important because it’s not like my graduation from high school depends on it or anything.
it’s cool.

…totally worth it.
i love my cappella buddies.
i'm realizing
how poorly i react to being embarrassed.

it’s ok to think a school isn’t the right place for you. what’s not ok is to go around making rude comments about that school in front of people who want to go there or about those who got into the schools you didn’t.
hey you.
stop dissing ucsd.
you know who you are.
sure, everyone might be a little bitter if they don’t get in where they want to. i was bitter for a while too. but honestly, it’s getting really old. i’m really excited for next year and i don’t appreciate you regarding it as a trash heap where berkeley rejects go, because that’s not at all what it is. it’s a fabulous school that people choose for a multitude of reasons. if you have an open mind, you’ll see that it’s a really amazing place and you’re dang lucky to go there.
so really. stop it.
How's calc prep going?
well, based on the fact that i’m on tumblr right now…
hahah nah it’s pretty good. i’ve finished doing practice problems, now i’m just going to review some things that i’m unclear on and go to bed. i’m completely exhausted, since the past couple days have been crazy to say the least. of course a million things have to be going on right now, when i’m trying really hard to relearn how to study. it figures. my grades might not matter much, but ap tests still matter because i want to skip as many ge classes as i can next year. and calc is the one i care about the most.
i think at this point, i’ve probably absorbed just about as much calculus as i’m going to. the best thing i can do is sleep.
let's get down to business
to defeat….
calculuuuuuuuus!
