it is only in the midst of work that i am struck with the urge to update. this is not coincidental.
how to succintly sum up my year so far? too much detail, and it will wander into "tl;dr" territory (street cred -5 points for that reference). too vague, and no one will understand the veiled references. maybe they will assume it's an inside joke. hopefully, they would assume it's an inside joke.
1) less sleep. conveniently, AM gym has me tracking my hours of sleep like a bloodhound on the trail of a hemophiliac. maybe a three-legged bloodhound, or a bloodhound on a tight leash, because i sink deeper into denial about my conspicious lack of shut-eye two mornings a week, 7 AM. the dark circles under my eyes grow larger at the same rate as my pride in my status as an honorary Stereotypical High School Student. as a result, i partake in the fine art of dozing off in class (hidden from teacher's view? check. lights dimmed? check. periodic squeaking of desk to deflect suspicion? check.).
2) more friends.perhaps due to the diminished level of brain function, i have less of a censor with regards to interacting with people. this is good! i am outgoing. this is good! people think i know how to be friendly and personable. this is bad! people think i know how to be friendly and personable. in all seriousness, i became chummy with a substantial portion of the graduating class--this is great because they are great, this is horrible because i will miss them terribly next year (i.e. now). in addition, i decided i generally favor males for platonic companions. now, i can be threatening in peace.
3) fluctuations in work ethic.to make myself appear like less of a slacker, i will justify this by saying my impregnable quality of self-motivation has shifted to other aspects of my life that exclude schoolwork. such as lifting heavy things and personal hygiene (sometimes). i have the summer to re-orient myself.
4) track so hard. i prefer people who like to subject themselves to lots of pain. i had two good seasons, barring injuries, and one demonic season. that's fair, i am not disappointed, and again, i have the summer to reach static equilibrium.
i think that's all i have to contribute. i return to in-depth analysis of a different, less scintillating kind.
