it's not fun, don't do it.

as much as i love the winter and the rain, i can't wait for it to be over. i like taking walks in the rain, it's thrilling in a way, kind of. during school it's another story. spending time to straighten my hair and have all that time wasted because of the rain isn't really fun. walking back and forth across the street to get to classes in the rain isn't fun either, especially when you have a cute hoodie that doesn't fit over your abnormally large school sweater. it's not fun, don't do it. two hour delays because of a wintery mix of ice and rain is, however, very fun. god i love being able to sleep two extra hours, you have no idea.
yesterday was free pancake day at ihop. needless to say i got me some free pancakes and enjoyed every bite of 'em. it took a good hour or so to get home from liz's house though. lotta traffic, lotta accidents. but it's always a fun time when listening to paramore in the car.
it's the part of the school year where you choose your classes for next year. it's actually pretty frightening because i'm almost a senior and choosing classes is a big deal these days, or so they tell me. i can't decide whether or not i want to take drama. i think it would be a cool class to take. i just don't like the whole idea of entering speaking and acting contests. i was a narrator in a play about mathematics in 4th grade, and i played the xylophone in the winter concert a few times, so i guess crowds aren't really a factor in my decision. i do like the idea of writing a twelve page play, though. i don't want to take a math class next year, but it might be inevitable, sr marie seems like a pusher. french 4 is NOT an option, at all. i regret taking french 3.

now here's the fun part of the blog!
i recently subscribed to the weekly podcast of "this american life" from the chicago public radio. i listened to it today and i loveloveloved it. it was so unique, and the story that was read in the middle was fantastic. i've only heard it once and i'm already excited to hear it next week. it makes me wonder why philadelphia doesn't have a cool radio broadcast like that. probably because philadelphia is too busy glamorizing statues of rocky to consider such a thing. anyhow, i'd love for you to subscribe to the podcast so we can discuss it further, but i doubt that will happen. i still have hope though. just a little. yes?
in other news, feist is playing in philadelphia on april 27. tickets are whoa expensive ($40...whoa). i absolutely don't like the fact that it's a "sit-down show", though. i'm short, i should like sit-down shows, but they make me feel awkward. i'd still like to go.
also (i promise i'll be done after this), amy winehouse should have won album of the year at the grammy's. c'mon, herbie handcock or whoever? really? lame stuff, man.
