The Seasons Keep Changing, Whether or Not We're Blind...

[First of all, do any of you Jack's Mannequin fans get the reference?? Ah I can find some of his lyrics for just about any situation.]

Mmmkay so right now I'm just sitting at Starbucks, studying and enjoying the aura here. It's much more calm than at home with everyone in their own little worlds, plugged into laptops and sipping the over-priced coffee. Wow how much of a cliche am I right now? haha Anyway I can see why they do it, though.

Moving on...
Thank you for all your comments. I really thought about the USC decision today, and I think I agree with you guys. I'd miss the people here a lot, and I think I'd regret not being a senior in the end. Last night it just seemed so exciting, but I think actually going would be really stupid of me. I mean really, no senior parties, no worthless second semester. I'd just miss out on too much - not really academically, but with the people from high school. After all, Junior year has been death schoolwise, but I'm still enjoying it.

School's getting better and better as I catch back up to the rest of the people in my classes. With the exception of one math test, my grades haven't really changed that much either. I can't wait for Friday though - this weekend my best friend and I are taking a road trip to see one of my good friends that graduated last year up at UT. I haven't seen her since she left in August so I'm really excited, plus there's a football game. Football is really symbolic to me - to me it represents my southern heritage, the coming of fall and it just gives me this sense of belonging. I've loved the Vols ever since I can remember, and it's weird, but it's really one of the only things in my life that has stayed the same over the course of my entire life. I'm really not a southern-minded person at all, but there is definatley a special place in my heart for football. It's so weird how the most random things are what makes you feel the most centered/stable. Who would have guessed?

^_^ I wish I could type at starbucks... or better yet, at the church near my house... It's so peacful.

So you decided on staying in high school. ^_^ (personally, I agree. Being a kid is so much more fun than being a grownup. Who wants to finish high school earlier and have to take on responsibilities?)

I'm not very good at math... how'd you do on the test?
