I’m unusually behind on my homework today, but I think this is what high school is supposed to feel like. The past few months, I’ve followed my usual bedtime & routine, never-stressed, never-overloaded, but I think it’s time that I became accustomed to what high school is really like. I always hear people saying that they didn’t get any sleep because of homework/studying/extracurriculars & it feels like I’m the only one with nine hours of solid rest.
Highlights of my day:
i. Oiled my French horn so that the keys are quicker & more efficient & yes, I am a band geek.
ii. Watched a thrilling action-packed 80’s film in Honors’; where, of course, predictably, the good guy prevails & the bad guy is like a “cartoon character” according to my English teacher. He’s convinced that Iron Eagle is a depiction of the Odyssey but I honestly cannot see it. Nevertheless, it was an awesome movie & I usually can’t watch even five minutes of an action movie.
iii. Got hot chocolate at lunch, only it was chocolaty hot chocolate & not the yucky chocolate-touched lukewarm water they usually have. Plus, the lunch lady with the dirty glares who thinks I’m “obsessed” with hot chocolate wasn’t there.
iv. Saw a eensy-weensy newborn baby. & though, to be honest, I was disappointed to see that she was bigger than I had expected (let’s just say I don’t see newborns often), she was just so cute/adorable/incredible & it was an inspirational moment. On another note, I got wobbly legs the minute I stepped into the hospital–still haven’t recovered.
v. I have no quizzes/tests/projects/presentations tomorrow & it is what we call a miracle. Yes, I’m a freshman, but doesn’t mean that it’s still not overwhelming for me to see a pile of tests on a Friday of a rather-long week.
Seriously? You *liked* Iron Eagle? My goodness, your mind is a mystery.
