these days have been passing by flickering, the days where nothing happens and aren't worth remembering. it's nice, I haven't had many of these but if it keeps going like this I might explode.
testmasters was yesterday, it looks like all the asians are at it again, we took a diagnostic test yesterday my brain died if I ever had one in the first place. everyone talked about the new SATs during break, waiting for the instructor to come, anytime there was airspace. even I joined in, talkingtalkingtalking. I couldn't help it. then the subject moved on to how smart klein students really are, next thing we find ourselves putting our thumbs on who might be valedictorian in our class. talkingtalkingtalking. I thought I'd never gossipgossip. it's a disease I swear.
they made us list our top 3 colleges we wanted to go to, I wrote down, nyu, berkley, northwestern. everyone talked how people this year got into princeton, stanford...then went to UT or rice, because of money issues. I don't get it. here I was surrounded by a group of smart, really good kids, they have their hearts in the right place they do. and I could see in the next two years, getting acceptance letters to all these good schools, but having to go to some other school just because of money issues. I wish it wasn't this way. kidnap them and shove them in the aged dormitories.
sometimes I wish there wasn't so much competition. everyone's so tense. pressured by families. by siblings. or worse. by themselves. it's only going to get worse as the generations climb. future kids will have to learn more and more, take more advanced classes than us. I don't see how this is ever going to end. our brains will explode.
wow. yeah abbxe, if I got accepted to berkely I wouldn't give a damn. take my camera with me and go. student loans are better than texas.
the outsiders is brilliant. Idon'tknow about you but it's bloody brilliant. I read it in middle school and I read it today. it's still amazing. she wrote it when she was only 16. if you want anything to keep your heart beating. I think I like ponyboy the best. I can't decide between him & johnny. hehe. tuff record. geebus blowmymindbooks. I don't feel b&nish lately. I wish I did. fight club is waiting there for me to finish. we're so lucky to be middle-class it's not even cool.
p.s. I need to wait for things to feel right, yes even for the small things. if I don't make sense I guess it's what I mean.
