my heart asleep with no air.

This week turned quickly from a hectic frenzy to a nice calm. I finished that ISP for life (well, at least until college, where I’ll be hit with research paper after another) and the horrible probability test I’m bound to fail was pushed back another week. Plus, those nerve-wracking SAT scores came out and made me squeal instead of tear up inside. Let’s just say, I’ll never have to retake that horrendous test. I’ve wasted around 70 hours of my life taking that test for practice (twice the real time, and probably around 18 practice tests) as well as spend over 200 hours prepping for it. That’s a lot of time I could have spent doing way more productive and enjoyable shit. I could probably have composed, or at least started, a fucking bestseller novel. The SAT is just such BS to me. You can’t ace that thing without having prepped at least a little, and review books for it are just so horrible that you need to be able to afford expensive, money-ripping test prep centers. Collegeboard just yells corruption all over it. But who cares? I'm done with the "most important test of my life." Thank goodness.

I wish I still had the liberty to go new music hunting, but the fact that I'm way over my iPod limit and I have to uncheck an entire band every time I want to update my iPod makes me really reluctant to discover new bands. Sad, and also really bad considering all the good bands I'm probably missing out on because I don't feel like unchecking the entirety of Muse's Absolution. That's probably why I've been sticking to a lot more hip-hop crap, because it's never in the form of an album-always a single. Speaking of, Akon's new single "Could You Be The Reason" leaked. I'm a big fan of it. I also am so so so in love with "She Got It" by 2 Pistols featuring T-Pain, no less. You should know by now a mediocre song becomes great if T-Pain is added to the equation. Other than that, I'm laying pretty low. But I'll refer you to Under the Radar magazine, which I determined had the best staff ever based on their top 2007 picks (they picked Bat For Lashes, Feist, AND Tegan & Sara. Doesn't get better than that). I wouldn't really rec the magazine itself though...the layout's pretty bad, and it's really overpriced. I'm still a Death + Taxes lover.

I'm digging this 3-day weekend thing. I need to go shopping. I really want to be able to pull of that whole top-braid style, except my hair is way too short to braid. Last thing: I need my license. Really soon.
