My First Post

     Hi!  This is my first post on this blog so I am very excited.  I hope that I can actually stick to this blog unlike the others, but I am rather confident that this will work out, so here goes!

     I live in the wild and wonderful West Virginia.  In WV, we observe daylight savings.  Sadly, this makes me wake up at what used to be 4:30 in the morning.  This also has a rather unpleasant effect on when I go to bed; I now cannot fall asleep until what is now 11:00.  The mornings are very dark, and it is light outside until about seven.  What makes it worse is the fact that I have a horrendously sore throat, just in time for the regional spelling bee that I am planning to attend. 

     The spelling bee is tomorrow, and I am a wreck.  I have a sorry little tendency to not study until the last minute.  It is a habit that I wish to quit, but it happens every time I try to study for anything, whether it be the annual WEStest, or just a vocabulary quiz.  I put off the studying because I don't actually feel the pressure until the last minute, and this time the last minute happens to be the night before the big event.  I also attended the bee last year, and I placed sixth.  This time I am hoping to place in the top five, so wish me luck!

     My day today was pretty much... meh.  Some guy rammed me into the door on the way to first period.  The door gave me a great big cut on the pinky finger of my right hand.  OWW!!  It would not stop bleeding all through first period, and the teacher did not have any band-aids.  Ironically, I have health first period.  On the bright side, we finally played a really cool song in band today.  Now it's stuck in my head and it will not go away, no matter what I do.  I got a 100% on a test in music appreciation, which is actually kind of like movie appreciation.  The test was on the movie Ray.  It was a really interesting movie, and I actually really liked the music.  I never thought that I would like that kind of music, but I caught myself tapping my foot more than once, and I absentmindedly started humming "Georgia on my Mind" on my way to seventh period.  I really thought that everything about the movie was magnificent.  Jamie Foxx, the guy who sings "Blame It", plays Ray Charles.  The acting was tremendous, and he even wore prosthetics over his eyes, because Ray Charles was actually blind.  I never seem to appreciate an artist until they are sadly dead.  The same thing happened when This Is It came into theaters.  Maybe I will finally contract "Bieber Fever" when Justin Bieber dies.  *insert evil laugh here*  I'm sorry to all those who are absolutely head over heels in love with the Biebs.  I am not a complete hater, and I do admit to having some of his music on my iPod, but I am not exactly a huge fan.

Well, thanks for reading my blog.  I am planning on posting more, so please visit my page again.

Bye for now,
Maddie
