Alrighty, so I was in the car on the way home from Lake George today, and I heard a song on the radio. At first, I thought it was Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap, but to my dismay, it was some other song with just a part of her song in it.
Now, my question to you is, why are good songs being replaced/remade with crappy ones? Imogen's song was originally a heartfelt song about white men taking over the Northern continent way back when, but this new song was just another love song with one of her verses as the chorus. Why?

Another song I can think of that they did this with is Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone (also known as the Numa Numa song). Although, I don't think that song is nearly as good as Imogen's...

Bella Voce
I MADE IT!!!! :D
For those of you who don't know, Bella Voce is the best choir in my school (and I'm pretty sure it ranks pretty high up in the state's rankings as well). It's an acapella choir, and I've been trying to get into it since freshman year.
So... WOO!!!! First rehersal is next Wednesday.

School has begun
So, my blog's still looking very summery (with all the bathingsuit pictures and such) so I figured I should update. I've already been in school for a week now, and it's not too bad so far. This year, I'm taking: Law and Economics, Creative Writing (funniest class EVER! I love it so much xD), AP Calculus (I think I'm going to fail... we're still doing stuff from precalc that I KNOW and I'm confused because of how my teacher teaches... I wish we had more than one calc teacher.), PE (duh. I have a small gym class this year though, I'm usually stuck with the ones with about 100+ kids in it...), Graphic Arts, Chorus (duh <333), and English at DCC (Dutchess Community College).
For the college class, it's taught at the highschool, but it's technically considered a college level class, so we get IDs to DCC and stuff like that. It's pretty cool. I think this is only the second year this program has been offered to our school. It's also pretty cool because I only had to pay about $50 for my textbook (at the school you pay around $90) and I don't have to pay for the course. I have a feeling even if I have to do a lot of college writing for that class, it will be worth it because Mariana and Sam are in it with me (my two best friends).
I had originally also taken AP Physics, but after the first day, I dropped it. Firstly, because I didn't *need* the course; I had already taken regular physics. Secondly, the Regents is the final exam, and I don't want to take that thing twice. Taking the AP is good enough for me. Thirdly, although I liked my last year's physics class (the subject and the people in it), it's in the past and taking the class again won't make it as fun as it was before. Also, AP is a LOT of work, and in all reality, I'm just too lazy. Fourthly (is that a real word?), in order to take physics, I had to take Chorus only every other day instead of everyday like it's supposed to be. At first I didn't think it was a problem, but after the first day I was having music class withdrawls. :P I love my class and I love to sing, even if I do complain about it all the time because of the teacher or because of the songs. I just couldn't live happily without singing, therefore that class MUST be in my schedule everyday. Lastly, practically the only reason why I took that class was because Sam was, and although we were in the same class, it didn't really seem worth it (we have many other classes together throughout the day, thank God! Took the school long enough to put us in classes together :P).
My favorite classes so far are Creative Writing, Law, Chorus and Graphic Arts. Chorus is a given, Creative Writing is the funniest class I've ever been (because of the people in it and because of the teacher herself. It's WONDERFUL) in plus I have it with Sam, Law is fun because of the debating going on, and Graphic Arts is fun because I love the teacher and Ozzy's in it. (Ozzy's a good friend of mine.)
Now I'm going to go eat some ice cream. If I think of anything, I'll post it another day.
Oh! Today I played with bubbles during my free. Why, you ask? Because I can. It was fun. :P
