We had a rally today, so classes were all a bit shorter than usual. I'm feeling increasingly sorry for my teachers as the year winds down and the weather gets better and the students stop caring. Numerous times I found myself making sad faces as they tried desperately to get their classes into order lulz. Physics is always fun times, probably because literally everyone in that class is a weirdo in some way. I guess I was put there for a reason! I also unwillingly entered a wet T-shirt competition when this kid just started spraying me with the water bottle the teacher uses to clean the whiteboards. It's a good thing I was wearing black (school spirit days, whaat!). Ummm. I wrote my first timed essay in months in English! My right hand is still recovering. And then the rest was just as boring as usual. The black-light rally after school was pretty good, but l have to say, last year's was better to me. That's probably because it was the first one I'd ever been to (and also the first one the school's had in ten years) and it was the day before junior prom so it was much more exciting to me than it probably otherwise would have been. The prom thing still applies to this year, though, so that probably explains the juniors' wild excitement on the other side of the gym. Also I have come to the conclusion (yet again) that my school is ratchet.
When I got home, I literally just lay in my parent's bed and watched Little House on the Prairie before getting online and doing this. This is such an exciting start to an exciting weekend! /sarcasm. Oh and I got my ID card today, HOLLA. I look ridiculous.
I feel like I should make this blog private or something. I don't know why, but it just occurred to me how creepy it would be to have just totally random people know about my daily ~struggles~. I don't think anyone really reads this, but unless the stats that blogger gives me are lying people are getting here in some straaaange ways.

Ugh. I'm having one of those days when I just hate my face and everything about it. I noticed that I hadn't posted any pictures on this blog for ages, so I went to just take a really fast one and I realized how ugly I've become lately. I think it's most closely related to the state of my skin; I've never felt so ugly before, and I've never had such extreme skin problems before. jkalsfjdkl.
Anyways. It felt like a Friday today, and so I kept on remembering it was actually Thursday and was a little bummed out each time. It's a spirit week and today was hippie day, so I don't know. I guess people thought it was totally cool to come to school hella baked (or pretend like they were) so I was incredibly distracted during all of my classes except English, because my teacher don't play haha. Also, I'm starting to remember just how much I enjoy literature. There's nothing like a healthy nerd-debate over syntax and diction to get your brain juices flowing, and I have a pretty good group in that class so I'm constantly being enlightened. Invisible Man is a ridiculouuuuus read now that I'm rereading it and looking closely at all the symbolism and whatnot; there's a deeper meaning behind pretty much every single sentence and it's so fun (for me) to try to piece it together. I really enjoy the English language okay. On the other hand, it's making me feel like crap about my own writing, so my novel is just going to the wayside, basically.
On a totally unrelated note, I was on Facebook today and I realized that it's my cousin's twenty-first birthday, and this is just ridiculous. He will always be the four-year-old kid who poked me in the eye when I was a baby and we were living in the same house. I'm getting to be crazy nostalgic.
ALSO. I don't know how I keep forgetting to mention this but there were some updates on Facebook so I've updated two posts with pictures .. I believe they were 20 and 41? I don't know, something like that. In case you wanted to be a stalker!

It is so strange to be writing this on the actual day that it occurs. My senioritis is infecting everything I touch. And honestly, I'm reading Urban Dictionary's definition of the term while I'm writing this, just to put it off a little longer. I'm a terrible person okay.
I had a meeting with my on-campus mentor for my senior project, and I had to tell him that I did not yet finish my novel haha. He was totally chill about it, though, which will most likely result in me slacking off until the very last day of the deadline. Not okay, Erica, not okay.

Tuesdays are definitely the most boring days of the week. I have absolutely nothing to say on this subject, except maybe that I'm enjoying doing half-assed work in my classes!

It was the start of the new term! More significantly, it was the start of the last term of my high school career. Yikes. It's so nerve-wracking to think that in about two months, I will have left this place behind me forever. I'm peeing my pants from the nerves and the excitement (mostly the nerves, though).
Also, this last term has apparently infected every single senior with an acute case of senioritis, because nobody was feeling the workload today -- and that includes myself. I believe I've fully mastered the art of sleeping while taking notes/reading/pretending to listen to lectures/etc.
I am terrified, yet I can't wait. A change would be good for me, but I'm a very steadfast person. I don't know. I'll just have to deal with it as it comes, because I know it will be here sooner than I realize.
