I never expected school to start off this crazy. Yeah I knew English was gonna be hard but there is sooo much going on on the sides, that I never have a free moment. So Mon. and Wed. I signed up for an SAT class from 6-9 after school. Every other day including weekends, I work. So it's non stop.
I'm most focused on SAT and college stuff as of right now or rather this minute because my focus is never dedicated soley to one thing for much longer than a day. There's always something else coming up. Take for instance my car. It wouldn't start this morning and it still isn't starting probably because of a battery issue. Jumping it didn't work. So I have to take the bus again and stay in school for lunch. Not only that, I have to borrow my grandfather's car to drive to work, which is nice that I have something to use, but I really like my car.
Also on the worry list is that darn AP English class. I'm concerned about keeping the grades up. No matter how much I study and no matter how much I try, I somehow manage to fall behind when it comes to tests and stuff and feel stupid. Am I not getting something? That probably isn't the case because many others in the class aren't doing so hot when it comes to tests but it always seems like everyone else is doing better. Who knows?
Uh, saw the Last Kiss, twice. The first time I won the premiere tickets for it through the Burlington County Times contest (thank you nana) and the second time was the day it came out (Fri. Sep. 15) with a larger group of friends. I even had a shirt made and everything. The lowdown: great movie. It was exactly what can be expected from a Braff movie, which is something that to this day I still can't describe. Garden State is the same way. They've got some artistic feel to them that is hard to put into words.
Everything else in life is fine. Work is dandy. Weather is changing. New fall shows are starting. New CDs are coming out. (Can you say Clay Aiken?) It's hard to complain. Despite my less than perfect rainy day, I'm having a hard time becoming miserable. I was even locked out of the house in the rain today which would probably send just about anyone over the deep end. But that's just not the way I choose to do things. Admitting that a day is a bad day only makes the situation 100% worse.
