The great weight lifted

So, I'm finally done. Done with senior project, speech, Tale of Two Cities test, sociology presentation, applying to at least one school AND submitting my transcript, finishing all those damn quizzes for Business Law. I'm done. All I have to do is keep the grades I have now and I won't have to worry about exams, I won't have to worry about anything. It's in someone else's hands now...
Justin and I...we're perfect. We really are. Well, perfect like normal. Perfect the way I like perfect--beautiful because of the little bitty flaws. I had this "episode" before my speech where I just screamed at him. See, the big problem is that he doesn't understand high school and the "pressure" involved. The terrifying feeling of going nowhere just because a few people don't like your academic achievements. It's overwhelming, gives me headaches, and he just can't relate. Having dropped out three years ago, he hasn't had to deal with any of it. Having been offered job after job because of his ability and not his stupid little grades...jobs with CEOs. Jobs with banks. Jobs with big corporations. BEGGING him to work for them. And me, I'm going to school every day, putting up with this SHIT, this judgement shit; I'm working as a hostess. BECAUSE I choose to go to school like a regular teenager, businesses discriminate against my ability, dedication and intelligence. WHAT BULLSHIT?! IT STILL PISSES ME OFF. But anyway, I yelled at him. Got mad at him. And later that afternoon, all was forgotten. The end.
