Man, I'm bummed that John Stevens got kicked off American Idol last night. I liked him. I also liked JPL. So now my favorites are gone...I still have George though! :)

I went to the library at lunch today and my geometry teacher walked over to me. He told me that he was really proud of how hard I was working. He told me to keep it up. He said that most people give up one step short of success and he knows that I can grasp the material if I keep on working at it. Then he went on about how Thomas Edison was kicked out of school because they thought he was dumb, but he turned out to be one of the greatest inventors in history. He said he thinks I'll be surprised how easily it will come once I pass that first hurdle. It's nice that he has so much faith in me. It makes me want to work harder so I don't disappoint him.

Alex told me that we're going to go out on Saturday. He's a sophomore (like me) so he's not going to the prom, and I'm not going to the prom weekend parties. We figured we'd keep each other company. I'm not complaining. I'd much rather hang out with Alex than spend the weekend with Jennifer.

Lauren came over after school today. We baked chocolate chip cookies. It was fun. I love her. She's the coolest 14-year-old I know. She told me that Josh was disappointed that Jennifer didn't want to go to Molly's beach house for the weekend. He's going to hang out with Jennifer until Saturday afternoon and then he's going to Molly's. I don't know why but this made me happy.

Tomorrow's the prom, and I've decided that Dave really isn't a bad guy. I wasn't thrilled about going with him at first, but he's been really cool. I know he's still dealing with breaking up with his girlfriend, so I don't have to worry about him making any moves on me. Actually, I'm not even sure he would. He seems like he has really good manners. I think I'll have fun with him. I'm just looking forward to this thing being over so that I don't have to hear or think about it any more.

I really need to spend some time thinking about my choir project. I still have no idea what I'm going to do. We either have to do a performance or write a paper. I'd love to sing, but I don't think I'm that brave. Guess I'm gonna have to write a paper.
