stay in school. if you're suicidal, that is.

okay, first day of school- i had not finished summer reading, had ALREADY gone to bed late and had not finished preparing/decorating all of my binders

by the second week, it was a little better. i somewhat finished my summer reading and was on a pretty good schedule where i would do all my homework.

this week- everything goes to hell. i am already going to bed past midnight, waking up at 5 AND not even finishing all my homework. for instance, last night i had to finish reading the 2 chapters for history that i was being tested on, finish reading Beowulf, do precalculus homework, and browse websites and read articles for religion. needless to say, i didn't get it all done even though i stayed up until 1, woke up at 5:30 and got to school at 7:15 and did more work. it's a little crazy.

in other news, jonathan and i have been going out for 8 months. cody and elizabeth are going to ring dance together. i'm going on retreat. mr. brandao and i have the same car; date pending for our race.

this year, unlike other years, i am not in the least looking forward to the upcoming school year. my decorated binders don't give me the same thrill; i countdown the minutes until lunch and the end of the day. and i live for the weekends. i think that as a country we should revert to farming communities, because they didn't have to go to school. OR, we could convert to a system of teaching/testing where there were no formal tests and grades. i would like that.

i am also seriously considering dropping out of school to race volvos professionally. i've also got a lot of connections in the supermarket business... stephen, cody, colin, caroline.... i figure i could carve a nice salary out of those two businesses.
