The title does not mean I'mgoing to say anything important. You can just scroll this by if you want important messages... from our sponsers.
Sorry for disappearing from the web, but I've really had NOTHING to update about. I've had an extremely boring spring break. It's been so boring I'm actually finding Pride and Prejudice an interesting book. I mean, yes, I've gone biking with the family a couple of times (this is a wonderful place to bike - pretty, flat, and full of bike paths.), and I went to a bar and actually had a half-decent time, but the only person I knew well enough to do something with I forgot to get a phone number from and I've spent so much time with nothing to do. This hasn't been all bad. I've had a whole shitload of time to think, and that I've been doing. I've written quite a bit and am even trying to work out a plot for something longer than a page. But, that aside, I've had a mind-numbling boring spring break. The past couple days especially.
But I feel a lot better today, which is maybe because I went on a run today. With so much nothing to do, I've had almost nothing better to do than try and get in better shape. I mean, it's something to do, it's good for my health, and, as I found out today, it makes me feel good. I feel very personable right now, which is good, because I'm going to a party tonight. I have every intention of being very social tonight, which is strange for me. I think maybe I've hit on something.
Something a bit less positive is all the homework I have to do hear. Most of it is quite reasonable and doable (if maybe unpleasant), but then there's math. Let me be hones: I'm a wretched failure in math. Once, to help out a friend studying for a child pyschology degree, I was a guinea-pig for some sort of intelligience test, and she found that my language skills (which are pretty high) are so far above my math skills (which are barely average) that it constitutes a learning disability. I know that if I really applied myself, studied, was dilligent with my work, I could be doing reasonably well in it. But, as is, I've had the two worst math teachers all of my three years in high school, and I'm really lazy about it. The term before I left, I bombed almost every test. There was even one test that I did every question fully, and still somehow managed to get 25 questions ALL WRONG. I was almost impressed by that. But that all means that I'm failing math, for the first time in any course.
And it gets better. On the last day, I had math, and I said 'this is my last day, screw that', completely forgetting that there was a test. A big test. A test that was mentioned when my mother went in to get what work I had to do. I managed to tap-dance my way through that encounter, and it wasn't as bad as it could of been, but I'm getting no credit for it. And as for my work for math I have to do here? ALL OF IT, BECAUSE MY TEACHER IS AN OLD BASTARD. I've asked around, and nobody's going to teach me extra. I certainly can't figure it out on my own. And I can't even do summer school because of a three-week long vacation my family has planned. I'm entirely unsure what to do about that.
Whatever. I'm off to go party. I miss you! Even if I don't actually know you!
