This day has been a really dumb day. Not only do I discover that the lens on my NEW camera I got for my birthday is ruined ( well, not completely ruined but it won't let me put the lens in and out all the way when I press the on/off button...part of the lens was bent), but I was also having some other feelings about being left out which I will not get into. stupid stupid stupid.....I just want to forget this day ever happened. Mom is probably going to go berserk on me because her and my dad are the ones who got the camera for me. ugggggh...... plus I have 2 more finals which I've been trying my hardest to study for. It annoys me when I see other people only studying for like half an hour on their finals and make as good of a grade as I do..... oh well, I guess I'll live with the fact that I have to work on everything that much harder than a lot of people. I know there are some people who do work hard and study their brains out, but still....it's annoying when I work as hard as they do and still get a lower grade. It just makes me feel like my best isn't good enough.

well, enough of that ranting.... I just want to get home and get away from here. No offense to any of my friends that go here (I love you all, regardless if you think I do or not...I do love you all), it's just I am ready for a break from all of this. Maybe once I get home everything will be fine again for me.

well, there was some fun in the day....we had a Tuba Smash with SAI and that was great. Quite a few people came out to smash an old E Flat Tuba that Dr. Hamrick donated to us.  I have a few pictures, but I really don't think I should be messing with the camera anymore until I can find out if I can get it fixed.

well, I hope you all have a good rest of the week!
