Well I have to admit that's about how today's been. Not a ton of crazy stuff has been going on, but life's been good. A pleasant walk into school a couple minutes late.. I feel like there's a bit of swag and badassness with sitting in detention and being that kind of loser. Not really. Makes me feel like the James Franco guy in Freaks and Geeks though, if I do it right. Detention's like a playpen for criminals, you know?
"What are you in for, huh?"
"Nothin'.. I swear I didn't do it!"
"Yea sure.. that's what they all say."
"Yeah but I'm legit.. my bed had it coming."
Sleeping in the morning becomes a crime and the world is left to wonder what the hell happened. Not really, this is a timeless issue, Proverbs 6:6-11 is like that guy from Back to the Future who uses a shotgun to put down slackers. Angry professor much? Anyway, the verses go a little something like this:
"Go to the ant, you slacker!
Observe its ways and become wise.
Without leader, administrator, or ruler,
it prepares its provisions in summer;
it gathers its food during harvest.
How long will you stay in bed, you slacker?
When will you get up from your sleep?
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding arms to rest,
and your poverty will come like a robber;
your need, like a bandit."
How bad do you want it?
But you know, that's another thing. Hard work brings some of the greatest rewards. Like writing this massive paper you hate as much as a five-year-old hates the "bother" in his shirt and getting it done or getting it cut to shreds, as the case may be. Rolling out of bed works too, I swear that's one of the most difficult things a man does regularly. It doesn't give you the same feeling of reward though.
Being done with stuff is nice.
Surprising delights of today:
- a brutal edit from librarian Miss Germer
- being chill with being late
- laughing through parts of detention with Lynott
- thinking about getting Bavarian cream donuts for the guy like he always wanted
- getting the paper done and not feeling terrible about it!
- a sweet conversation with Charlotte Rowen from VHS.. it's funny that you make friends online
- Josh loves UNCW!
- getting some salt on the fries today.. and building the line up behind me (whoops!)
- having one hundred dollars and seventeen cents in my online lunch account
- a pretty tasty blueberry muffin
- getting a 75.5 on the Chemistry test and moving my grade up! whoo!
- finding out that despite two C's and a D+.. I've still got a 3.8 for MP3.. what does that mean for MP4?
- Mrs Vilarino! Sweet as can be, included the required homework reading on the quiz about it! Great teacher too. No offense to anyone else, but English teachers, if you treat them right, can be your best friend. Same with history guys. But the people that get caught up in math and do science for a living? Fuhggedaboudit.
- a talk with MaryKate at school.. nice girl that I surprisingly haven't ever really talked to before
- being called Ms. Elefante's star student! or was that yesterday?
- realizing there really wasn't much more to do after I finished my lab report
- feeling pretty good right now!
You know what: Life is good!
