Getting myself to focus on writing in general is hard. However doing this is a bit easier. Unlike writing an essay I don't have to narrow myself to one topic, I can just write. Though sticking to one topic may seem like the easier thing to do it isn't really. Not in my mind. I tend to bounce all over the place and repeat points. That's why when I write an essay or paper it usually has to go through five drafts in order for it to be less jumpy.
Anyway that was just something to get mind into the swing of things. It's been a real slow week, and I haven't done a lot to be completely honest. Since Monday I (including the aid of my sister and mother) have beed trying to complete the task that is reorganizing and rearranging my room. I have trouble with keeping something in the same order for long periods of time.
When my sister and I first moved into the largest room (located in the basement) I was in the seventh grade by the time they got everything in it's new place. I was really happy with the way it looked, and was for quite some time. However as time passed I slowly began shifting things. Now three years has come and almost passed and I finally convinced them to rearrange things.
I'm not completely sure why I like moving things around after a certain amount of time, but I just get uncomfortable almost if everything looks the same. That's probably why I went to charter schools instead of my own towns school. The three different schools I've been to have moved locations a lot over the years. In fact the school I go to now is still looking for a permanent location.
Enough about my crazy head, more about normal-ish things. As I mentioned before this week has been a vacation and I return on Monday. And as usual there was homework assigned that I haven't completed. I wanted to get it done before Sunday, but I'll be lucky if I get it all done by the beginning of first period on Monday. I might do a little of it tonight, but the chances of that are slim to none.
Kate, I am not familiar I don't think with the meme if someone could explain it that would be lovely. Deidra I'm sorry you had such an off week. I hope it's gotten a bit better I hate when I feel like that. Also congrats on being a Slytherin! Kayla and Deidra I hope Envirothon went well, my competition thing isn't until May 18th. If you could explain what it was like a little that would be awesome. Campion your trip sounded like so much fun! I don't think I could handle being floor manager listening to all those people would make me even more insane.
Adam I hope you enjoy Paper Towns, and I agree with Kate the ending felt a bit off to me. Like I wanted more to come out of it. Speaking of books We end The Catcher in the Rye when we return and I have to say rereading this book on assignment has made me hate it a bit. That always happens when I read books for school. Analyzing books and finding character flaws, symbolism and all that jazz takes the pleasure out of it for me. I mean if I wanted to read more in depth for a book I would. He wants us to find certain words and identify ones we don't know and I CAN'T! It takes so much out of me to actually put in that effort.
Instead of complaining I meant to talk about something completely different. Ever since we started reading Catcher I've been on a huge 50's kick. I've always Liked 50's music but I just haven't been able to listen to anything else for the past couple of months. It was just like the time when I got really in to The Who. I bought a bunch of their CD's, put them on my iPod and found myself listening to only that. I don't know how much longer it'll last, but I don't mind if it never goes away (also like The Who).
Also this annoys me greatly: http://techland.time.com/2012/04/19/5-reasons-the-cispa-cybersecurity-bill-should-be-tossed/ So i think that's about all my brain can focus on...OH WAIT. I saw the Hunger Games on Friday. When the movie was over and my friend left i found a shady area of pavement (sidewalk) and just layed down until my brother came to pick me up. Apparently people stare at you when you take a nap on the sidewalk. Who knew? Okay that's all, I swear.
End Time: 9:09
