On My Birthday...

This is the song I've been singing the whole day.

I'm cool, you know it.

Conflict

I don't like to fight.

I don't try to fight.

I don't need to fight.

Yet somehow I always end up fighting.

I want to stop.

But I can't.

Whole Foods Extravaganzas

I love Whole Foods.

Yeah, it may be one of the stereotypes that white people like but, in case you haven't noticed, I am white and I would probably still love going to Whole Foods even if I wasn't. Take that. It's become tradition to stop at the new Whole Foods that opened in Minnetonka down by Ridgedale every Saturday after I have MYS rehearsal (concert tomorrow at 6:30, y'all should come).

What a plethora of spectacular food items there are! I'm torn whenever we go there between getting my tried and true favorites or trying some new things that may eventually become a favorite. So many choices. So many good things. I love their Wild Mushroom Soup and their Vegetable Lasagna and Vegetable Quesadillas and the Baked Potato Soup. Those are just the main dishes. I also love their Smoked Mozzarella Pasta Salad and their Edamame Salad and the Winter Cous Cous and the Greek Tortellini Salad and the Orange Beet Salad. That's not even including the bakery items. I love their Cornmeal Muffins and their Soft Pretzel Rolls and their Pay-by-the-Pound cookies like their Dark Chocolate Almond Laceys and the Almond Cookies and the best Brown Butter Cookies ever in the world. They even a taquiera, a pizza station, and a sushi station, but raw fish creeps me out.

I had the Wild Mushroom Soup today. Now I am content.

On another note, it's Girl Scout Cookie season!

My Schedule is Bipolar

Or maybe I should rephrase that and say my schedule for next year is going to make me bipolar. My schedule is divided completely in half, with one side being "Fun Classes For Meredith" and the other being "Classes That Meredith Would Rather Not Take If She Didn't Have To." I take that back, it might be 5/8 fun and 3/8 not fun, but that all depends on if I get the English course I'm signing up for (*cough cough poetry with Cardona cough cough*).

Here's what my schedule for next year looks like:

Marching Band (gonna be a BLAST)
Honors Music Theory (buncha band kids)
AP Music Theory (even more band kids)
Music History (what do you know? band kids)
Wind Ensemble
**If you've been counting, that's a total of 8 credits = half of my year.
Range of Poetry (so hoping this works out in my schedule. hoping hoping hoping.)
Physics X (ew)
Mo Pro (double ew)
AP Calc AB (triple ew)

You may say "HOLD YOUR HORSES THERE, MEREDITH! Gurl, whatchu thankin' with all those music classes." I would respond "Well, I'm planning to major in music in college so those classes are kinda necessary to take with that career path in mind." In case you haven't guessed by now, that's that part of my schedule that I'm really excited about.

I'M A NERD.

Ha.

And I love it.
