The next two weeks are going to be so busy.
I’m (finally) taking my Driver’s Ed. course in the mornings from 8:45 – 12:00. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not mentally taxing (the teacher even said that you only need 20% of your brain to pass…), but it’s awfully early compared to when I’ve been waking up this summer and three hours is a pretty long time to just sit there.
Then, I have rehearsals from 7 PM – 11 PM. Granted, I have a 6-hour gap (allowing for travel time, etc.) between Driver’s Ed. and rehearsal, but it’s not a lot of time when you consider that I usually take a nap during that time and I have to work on my French and this and that and blah blah blah. When will I be able to loaf around and do nothing?!
And the worst part is that I only have seven hours to sleep between rehearsal and Driver’s Ed. the next morning (I doubt I’ll be able to come home from rehearsal and go straight to bed and I have to be up at 7 AM the next morning). I need my sleep!
Of course, it will all work out eventually. And I do enjoy being busy, so it’s really not that bad. Driver’s Ed. is only this week and next week and we go into tech next week for my show, so come next Saturday morning I’ll probably be bored out of my mind (until our evening shows, of course)!
Remember when I took the AP World History test?
Let’s review: I didn’t care about the class the entire year, I never paid attention, I did do all of my assignments and projects so that I could maintain a B, I failed most of the tests in the class, I never bought an AP review book, and I never did a lick of studying. When I got to the testing site, I breezed through the multiple choice section and was fairly confident that I had done well.
And then came the essays. The essays that left me absolutely confused and screwed. I wrote all three essays on three sheets of paper (out of the ten provided in the testing booklet) and in 45 minutes (out of 120 minutes) and then I took an extended nap. I was pretty sure that the essays had done me in.
Well, my scores came the other day and I got a 4! I didn’t do anything to prepare for the entire year and I got a 4?! Fantastic! I did better this year that I did on AP Gov&Politics last year (I got a 3). I’m over the moon!
I can’t get the player to align to the center of the page! Oh, well. An awesome video nonetheless.
Indubitably, you are a pretty funny dude. However, I found myself in an awkward position yesterday when I was at a newsstand in the Indianapolis airport trying to find some magazines to read on my flight. I like to read GQ in the summer, so I tried to find the latest issue amongst the myriad of tech, workout, celeb, cooking, and news magazines. When I finally found GQ, I was happy to see that you were featured on the cover of the July issue. However, I could have done without the full nudity and provocative pose on the cover. (see picture here)
I really wasn’t disturbed by the shot (I found it to be quite hilarious), however it was awkward always trying to hide GQ behind the copy of People en Espanol that I also picked up. And on the plane, I ended up sitting next to a cute old lady who was terrified of flying and who, I decided, probably had no interest in seeing you “bare all” (or most). Subsequently, I had to keep obscuring the cover whilst reading the magazine, which was an unwelcome inconvenience.
Next time, please put some clothes on. Or at least move your crazy nude shots off of the cover. But other than that, keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Danny
