April 2011
My wisdom teeth are STILL bothering me and I didn’t go to class today because of it. I am now dedicating my morning to doing homework because I have a math packet, three weeks worth of online math homework, a take home test and an oral presentation for history of popular music, pictures to edit/take for photography, and a rough draft/final draft to finish for composition to finish in the next few weeks. PHEW. So much to do and so little time. I really need to buckle down before I don’t do so well. I am just so stressed out but it’s okay because I know I can do it if I set my mind to it, and I leave for NYC in less than a month and I can’t wait to just be there and be happy for seven weeks of my life. I can’t wait to be with one of my best friends and to explore the city and to just forget about everything except what’s happening there. No work, no drama, no school (well one class, that’s why I’m going there to take a music class at nyu, so hopefully it won’t be too challenging), no rules, just FUN. I can’t wait to be in a carefree environment in my favorite place in the world.
“I’ve been making a list of the things they don’t teach you at school. They don’t teach you how to love somebody. They don’t teach you how to be famous. They don’t teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don’t teach you how to walk away from someone you don’t love any longer. They don’t teach you how to know what’s going on in someone else’s mind. They don’t teach you what to say to someone who’s dying. They don’t teach you anything worth knowing.”
— Neil Gaiman
