Playlists for those Nocturnal People

I have slowly been turning into a she-beast lately. I have found that with spring comes the six weeks of sneezing, I have started to become nocturnal do to my unnecessary need to read this one manga online, I took the SAT's (oh shit, it's late) yesterday morning, and had to read forty pages of random history crap in one night. These events have put me undoubtedly on edge and stressed out. Oh and the most important detail of what made this week a hell hole, is that I can't find my alarmclock/emergencything/CELLPHONE! I honest to god have looked everywhere where a sane person would put there phone, but it remains to be lost.

I have found it impossible to pay attention a real book with no pictures and that also has become frustrating along with my AVID's teacher's failure to meet my expectations.Ever. The high point of my week was finding out that Wizard of Oz was L. Frank Baum's outlet of the populist movement and hearing McCargo explain how a car started to blank eyed students. (Remember to update this later with awesome pictures of how my class took this information.)








(Every teacher in the world feels your pain McCargo)
Well that was my craptasmic week and here's my playlist (WARNING:It is random has no general theme or motif):

Mice Circus-Coraline
and the one that constantly puts me to sleep,
Housewife

*BLEEP* YES! FINALS ARE OVER!!!!!

I haven't posted in a while because I have decided that my school should pay more for a four point o GPA. For a half brain like me 4.0 GPA=I HAVE NO LIFE!!!

There's the excuse I know all my ardent fans that don't exist have been waiting for. In my time off I have gotten much better at drawing (not really), finished one book (Great Gatsby for school I haven't been able to finish any pleasure reading that isn't manga), and GOT AN I-POD. I have also had finals and well those were a living hell.
The worst was my English final in which I had to present a poem and song about a character from Great Gatsby. Guess what character my group got (drum roll please)...

GEORGE WILSON!!!

My horror at finding we had this character is almost to hard to express, it was also even worse that my part in the divide and conquer solution was the song and explaining why the song related to George, along with help the my friend Cinthia find quotes to help her relate to the song. Finding the song was easy, all I had to do was go "Mom! I need three to five songs that relate to Wilson from Great Gatsby, I know there's a Bruce Springsteen song somewhere in there."
Almost like a super computer mother said "THE RIVER, ATLANTIC CITY... and LITTLE LION MAN by MUMFORD AND SONS!"

I chose 'Little Lion Man' and happened to be the only person in my class with a song that had a curse word that sounded more like FAULK do to the singers thick accent. My group liked the song but did very little to help relate the song back to George, their main reason for choosing the song is 'because Bryar chose it.'

Overall the entire project was embarrassing and tiresome, but i went in front of the class with a horribly edited clean version and gave my reasons and would be quite happy to forget the entire experience.

Good morning, good evening and good night.
