We had a ball.
Here's to the kids out there smoking in the streets:
They're way too young, but I'm way too old to preach.
They know it all, but they still ain't seen the truth.
Just play my song and I'll show it all to you.
We ain't even been to the ocean,
We've been running barefoot in the streets.
We've been running barefoot through the streets,
We ain't even been to the ocean.
It's nearly midnight. Had a perfect day. Did good on my final(s sort of). Got a near perfect score on my presentation that I was completely unprepared for and basically made up on the spot. I suppose I'm good at winging it, but it's always nerve-wracking. From what I can remember now, pretty much winged every speech I've had to give in any of my English classes so far in high school. Quoth Amsdill: "Very professional" and "I can tell you practiced a lot."
Hah.
As for tomorrow (today's) final, I'm not sure. Well, about Econ. Since it's entirely multiple choice, I stand a much better chance. Especially after Jeopardy. Physics I should be okay on. Should. I tend to make silly mistakes and forget things though. I guess we'll just have to see.
Thursday should be a bitch though. I don't expect to get anything higher than a D on Anselm's. Granted, I'm not studying, but also I'm not going to be in that class next semester, nor will I be taking the AP Calculus test, so that class is irrelevant to me. And French class is still a joke as far as most are concerned, and I am NEVER worried about it. Hopefully, I won't have to be in it next semester when my final schedule changes are made, so it is also Quite possibly irrelevant.
:P
Tomorrow (today) I'm going to Carl's meet thing. After school Thursday I have a pizza party/ NAHS meeting and then babysitting, and Friday possibly that open skating thing that I have just noticed on facyspacy.
In some random news, a school in Maryland(?) has banned the Merriam-Webster dictionary from their classrooms because it contains the definition for oral sex. YEAH. Because last time I checked, it was a DICTIONARY and contained DEFINITIONS. Of WORDS AND PHRASES. Some of which being penis, vagina, sex, rape, masturbation, bestiality, sodomy, and the like. Feel free to let your imagination substitute more equally graphic entries.
And it may shock you all to learn this but, the dictionary has ALWAYS featured them (Unbelievable, I know).
Also, the kids that discovered it were in 6th grade. A full year into getting sex-ed. I doubt their "fragile minds" will be damaged.
People are so stupid.
Another example: A mother in Georgia forced her NINE YEAR OLD son to kill his pet hamster with a hammer for getting a bad grade in class.
I hope that leaves you with some happy thoughts.
Nighty night and stuff.

I want to say it's to me to change the world
I rearranged my room yesterday after school. I decided that I didn't like it the way it was anymore. It didn't feel like my room. It felt like I was living in a rabbit pen (understandably). Well, now it's mine again. I feel like I've gained more space, but at the same time I feel like I've lost some. However, I'm definitely more organized.
Still not motivated.
My art project is almost done because I found a good set of oil pastels and fixed all of the mistakes in my picture. Which is fantastic because I've been struggling to fix the same part over and over again for the entire week or so before break, and yesterday, getting about zero progress from when class began to when it ended. There are a few final touches I'll need, but that shouldn't take long at all. Our next project is something with cartoons. Hilarious because, the entire point of that class is to draw realistically, without outlines, and NOT cartoon-ish. Mr. Dimmer also claims that we will have a second project before the semester ends, but I feel like that is wishful thinking.
------------------------------------
I still haven't really done any math homework. I mean to, I just don't end up actually doing it. I suppose I'm just waiting until this semester is over with so that I can be done with that class. The final is going to obliterate me though.
------------------------------------
I sat in the back of the bus today, where all of the annoying sophomore guys sit. There weren't really other seats on the bus, and Chad/Ryan and Nate sit back there, and also, I couldn't give a fuck if they want me there or not. Anyway, I sat down and the kid in the seat started complaining, "Really? Why here? There's like, a million other seats over there!" "So? I sat here. What's the matter, are you gay? Don't like girls?" So he scoffed and turned around and basically pouted. And then the kid across from me said, "Who the hell are you?" and before I could say anything, Nate kind of put him back in his place and told him that he needs to have a little respect, which I appreciated. Sometimes I feel like Nate doesn't like me very much.
------------------------------------
Overall things so far haven't been too terrible at school. I mean of course I hate doing work, and I hate most of the people that I have to interact with, but I can look at it and see that it's only 6 hours out of my day, and even more so, each class is only one hour out of my day. Sometimes I just need perspective on things.
The one thing I must say I've hated about school so far, is that it's so ingrained into my system that even after a two week break, waking up at 6 in the morning, running on less sleep than I should, didn't feel unnatural. In fact, on the way to school yesterday, I almost forgot about the fact that we had even taken a vacation at all.
Well, nighty night sleep tight.
I'm hungry, and I'm gonna eat.
Still not motivated.
