The first amendment to the Constitution says…

*sigh* I didn’t think that last entry saved last night. The OD was being so incredibly stupid… I couldn’t even go to my favorites after awhile – I just got query line 144 failure notice thingies, or something like that anyway. I saved the entry to my hard drive because I didn’t know it saved, but was pleasantly surprised this evening when I checked my notes and saw that it was, in fact, out there in cyberspace.

Well I’m *supposed* to be studying for the constitution quiz tomorrow. So far I know the 7 Articles and the Bill of Rights. 15 more rights to know. I can do that. I can handle it. I’m tough. But should I be practicing tonight too? Cause I haven’t practiced my Wind Ensemble music AT ALL… He’s gonna kill me. Mr. H isn’t fond of slackers. Not my fault he put me first chair in the top band. That’s what I said last year when I couldn’t play the music on clarinet too. Not my fault, hehe. I’ll probably end up losing my chair if I don’t practice, though. Grr. It’s all me, man.

Ok, so here we go – let’s study!
