Everyone's talking about finals in my school right now, except for me. I know it probably is the one factor affecting my future daily life universally, but I can't really seem to get nervous, or excited, or even bleh. It's like another week of school...
Interesting night, some girl from the riding school my cousins' mom own came over here to their dad's overnight. There was pizza and rootbeer floats, and DDR. I got the impression she looked up to me, which makes me feel a bit guilty. I'm very worried about writing an after dinner speach for speach and debate club. I've always just debated so now I'm speaking. It's supposed to be about a serious topic made humorous; the only rounds I saw last tournament the winner did hers on religion. I was thinking about love, I've got some pretty funny stuff already but I need some imput from differnt points of view if anyone wants to add something. It's in two weeks and I'm not sure how to organize it all yet. I can't read anything except loose notes. My fallback topic is on procrastination.
I always get the feeling I should be trying somehow to prove I'd be better off learning what I want to, instead of what the government tells me to... I'd probably eat my words but either way I decided to write a book. Shouldn't take long, it's not supposed to be very literary, but how many books are there written by teenagers, where it wasn't just some journal and the afterword explains how they died after the final, extremely worrying entry. This is really important to me, and is maybe mostly so I can figure out where I went wrong, or if I ever did, and if so how I can ignore my past mistakes. More importantly than my speech, I NEED as much input from everyone I've known for this project, even though I'm assuming it'll never get published.
