hmm.

I'm not sure if what is written here is supposed to mean something, or if it should just be random babblings. Looking through what people have written tho, it mostly just seems like entries in a journal. Almost as if there was some little brown book sitting on a path, pages wrinkled and worn, corners turned up and ripped, and everyone who walked along that path picked up the book and jotted down what came to mind as they sat on the little stone slab nearby. So what do I have to say? Really, what does anybody have to say? Although I think everyone has something to say, but who is actually listening? It's thoughts like these that make me keep to myself. Because sometimes I just wonder, who actually cares? What if there was somebody out there, that found all the random blogs on the internet, and read through every one. What if there was somebody who read other peoples troubles, and cared. But even if they read and cared, what could they do? So often, even when you are talking to your friends about what's wrong, there's nothing they can do either. In reality, the only one who can fix your problems, is you. But I guess I'll never know if anybody reads it, all I know is sometimes it helps to just write.

College English prep

So I went to that oh-so-fun senior college night last night. Between the moments of yawning and drifting off, I caught a few tidbits of information that may have been useful if I was considering sending off a few applications to college, such as needing to take two SAT IIs before I apply most places. When I looked at the packet, I saw that literature was one of the ones that many people take. I need to take a second one at some point, so I was wondering if that test is easy or difficult. Looking at the scores, I came to the conclusion that it's not a test that you can ace with ease, but most people, especially at HHS should be able to do well on without too much trouble. Therefore, I think I'll look into taking it fairly soon so that I have my scores ready for early action if I choose to do that. I would suggest that anyone else who needs another SAT II should double-check with their teacher, and if the teacher approves, sign up to take it soon.

Mr. Moss

Dear Randy Moss,


Your spectacular plays over the years have never ceased to amaze me. On the Raiders you were a very talented athlete who had a arrogant attitude. However, based on your ability your self proclaim was and is deserved. As a patriots fan I was ecstatic when you came to the patriots. Over your few years on the Patriots you have become a seasoned veteran who now, more than ever, acquires respect from players around the league as well as people around the world. Your catch this past Sunday against the Jets is just another testament of your ability, and was in your lingo: straight cash homey. Good luck and keep on playing the way we all know you can.


Sincerely,

Graham Miller

Letter

Dear Mr. Deadau5, your music hits so hard that you have to rock your head with the crispy bass. The grimy electric synth wobbles out as your sets build and drop with enough force to cause an earthquake. It is truly a musical renaissance. Even the most innocent person can’t hold in a few fist bumps when Ghosts n Stuff blasts the speakers. Who would have thought that wearing a mouse head could become a part of your identity? Well, you wear it well sir. How long does it take you to make a song? However long it takes I’m sure it’s worth it. Hit me back.

Sincerely – Kyle Schlosser

One of those days...

I'm trying to work on what the Telling Writing book was talking about with writing quickly and truthfully. Hopefully this turns out ok, but will probably have tons of spelling errors and bad grammar.
Today was Wednesday, not Thursday. That was the problem, besides the other that was I had 3 tests. I woke up early at 8:00 and studied science problems. After I got to school, I checked in and headed straight for silent study- which I normally never do. I studied for a long time and then realized that I was five minutes late for Common Ground and rushed out. At least I'll be able to study for math during that time. I opened our common ground room and realized that no one from my common ground was there. "Am I too early?" I asked a teacher, my voice quavering at the fact no common ground people were there/ the sight of a girl's angry eyes glaring back at me for disturbing the class. "It's Wednesday," the teacher replied frowning at me. My mind started racing through thoughts like "seriously? oh, no!!! well at least we have break. oh my god! it's wednesday and i'm late for math! i have a test in math today! vie de merde." I stumbled/ran to class but fortunately the teacher understood and told me that everything was "ok". Head still reeling from the stress of being really late to class and not having much time left, I sat down and hastily wrote. Luckily, the teacher was really nice and let me stay later, but I was late again for the next class and awkwardly joined them. After that, the rest of the day was uneventful. I felt really stupid the rest of the day, but at least the tests weren't too hard. Hmm.. maybe my crazy studying paid off. I hope I don't have another day like it for a long time.
