it's quite literally midnight as i write this and i'm not going to lie, this week was terrible.

it didn't start like that. i was tired but not much else.

i was asked out by that guy in my english class, who i will nickname 'j.' went on a field trip to see how they process salmon at the nisqually reservation.

the concert on wednesday went well. despite only having a month to prepare, i'm proud of our performance in a way.

then, this morning, i find out that j thinks i'm a "bitch" and i honestly have no clue why. i didn't do anything to him.

but that's not really important in the face of the news we got today. 

one of the members of our school choir passed earlier. it's hit everyone hard. i stayed for a few extra class periods to offer support and listen to other students and it was tough. there was so much emotion to deal with. i didn't know him too well but i know he was a great guy - very upbeat, kind, and absolutely one of the funniest people in the room. he was the kind of person that made a community closer, i guess.

i hope he's in a happier place.
