Procrastination.

I really should be doing my homework right now.
Instead, I'm switching between HP 1 and Jon & Kate Plus 8.
So, I'm not sure what the point of this entry is just yet. How about... Slumdog Millionaire? Sounds good to me. I saw it Saturday night with Laura, and it was absolutely wonderful. It was such an intense movie; there was never a moment where boredom set in, which isn't usually the case with me. I couldn't really predict what was going to happen. Well, that's sort of untrue. I could have told you the major points of the ending, probably. Anyway. I completely understand why it won the Oscar for Best Picture, because it was just fantastic. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. Scratch that... if you're under, I'd say 15-ish, don't see it, because there are some, ahem, "mature themes". Not necessarily sex, because 15 year olds have more sex than some people who are over thirty at the present time. Which is ridiculous; we now live in a society where sex education is necessary in elementary school. That's just disgusting. I don't even want to get into it. Subject change.
Okay. Sometime, I believe it was last week, our school held a district-wide staff meeting to determine how the budget could be cut, and someone (I'm not sure who, my music teacher didn't specify) suggested cutting music department staff. Which is so sad; it seems as though the music department is always the first to suffer in schools now, because so many people feel as though it isn't necessary. But, it is. Imagine how mundane life would be with absolutely no music. Just try to spend an entire day with zero music. It's a school's duty to provide its students with as many opportunities as it can. With so many talented kids out there, every school absolutely needs a good music program. It's such a good outlet for so many people. I don't know. Maybe I'm biased because my school's music program is basically my entire life, but I just don't see how that is at all fair.
Now that I've got myself all worked up, my thoughts are turning to the show and everything that goes with it. The Wizard of Oz opens on Friday, March 20. That's 17 days from now. Just saying, I'm probably going to rip my hair out before then, because people are starting to feel the stress, and it's only a matter of time before we all start to turn on eachother. I really hope that doesn't happen, because when it has in the past, things have almost fallen apart. But, it's not going to happen. The show's going to be great. End of story.
Okay. It's almost 9:30. I really, really need to get going on my homework.
