Correction!
So actually, it was the
School Poem that should have gone on our blog. My apologies!
A hot, sticky September day
Both sweat and sandals abound,
The air conditioner rattles endlessly
Yet no relief is found.
The moldy carpet smell permeates
The air around my seat,
As I'm stuck staring at the dull, blank walls
Leaving my mind incomplete.
It's as if the cinder blocks are staring back
To mock me in my daze,
For only the view of the sunlight and my teacher
Are unfortunately in my gaze.
The smooth sheets of notebook paper
Seem ideal for falling asleep,
But for now, I'll have to face another test
Without uttering a peep.
Hmmmm
I'm not sure what to write about. Usually my head is full of random ideas just floating around, but a lack of sleep is certainly not helping my creative side. I'd do anything for a big cushy pillow right now. Except I know the second I laid my head down, no matter how much I promise to just "rest my eyes," I would be off in Dreamland in about 10 seconds. I think sleep is pretty much my favorite thing. Not because I'm lazy, although I tend to be sometimes, but being in high school, it's definitely turned into sommething I look forward to more than other things. A good night's sleep is a rarity for a high school student, so when the opportunity approaches, what can I say?
Soooooo yesterday was my 18th birthday! Weird. I don't really feel like an adult. I' still feel like a little 14 year old anxious to start high school, when in reality I'm going to be graduating and going off to college in a few months! I'm trying to think of what the big deal about being 18 really is.
+ I can VOTE! :)!!!!
+/- I'm officially an adult
+ Can drive after midnight, and with more than one person in the car legally
- No more Child Price tickets at the movies :(
+ Lottery tickets are cool I suppose
+ I can get a tattoo or a piercing, although I'm not sure if I'll be doing that anytime soon
So here's to adulthood, I suppose. Here's to a few more years of freedom before I'm shipped off to the workforce.
Later days,

"Apology"
This is my
Apology
To the
Establishment
Of Food Town.
For I have
Nabbed
Your Delicious
Gummy Worm
Treats
And thrust them
Into
My pockets.
Although I was
Much too clever
To Be
Caught,
And they were
Indeed
Quite Delicious.

In 2006, I made my same resolution that I do every year; to lose weight and to do better in school. And by the 3rd week of January, I always find myself eating cupcakes and not studying or doing my homework. And that laziness is starting to have a big effect on me. I procrastinated while doing my college applications, and now I'm afraid that one of them may not arrive on time. And that is a really scary thing, because I am so anxious to go to college, and to think that my procrastination will cause me to lose my chances, is quite frankly pretty embarassing.
So, this 2007, I will make a new resolution: to stop making excuses. When my college application isn't finished on time, I need to admit that I made a mistake and try to fix it as best as I can. When I get a bad grade on a test, rather than cry and moan about how much I hate the teacher, I will try to study harder for the next one, and get a kick-butt grade to cancel out the bad one.
I need to have more confidence in myself and the things I do; that way I'll be much more able to finish all the tasks and responsibilities I have on my plate right now.
