Today was just one of those days that feels really split up. Like I woke up twice or something. It feels like from 7 to 2 it was homecoming again.. or something like that, and from 3 on it was just a normal school day. It doesnt need to be said, but today feels much more like a Saturday than it does a Friday. I dont know if I'm looking forward to the weekend because my dad is sure to find some evil back-breaking work in our destroyed front yard for me to do.

But I aint gonna fret about that until tommorow.

Today I had this really disorganized gathering with a couple of my friends. (it was a no-school day for students) We really gathered at an IHOP about 20 miles from my house hoping to have a good breakfast and go see Team America at a nearby theatre. Sufficed to say, that plan failed. Half of our group did not have licenses to prove that they are 17 years or older, and the damn ticket jockey was being a real stickler about it. So that cut the day with my friends pretty short.

Rather, I went home and started on my college app. Two hours later I've finished everything but my extracuricular activities and a couple of severe revisions of my essay.

As for my college essay, I really wish I could just take some of my entries and paste them into the form. Most of what I write in this journal is trash, with alot of slang and stuff interspersed throughout, but some of my entries are masterpeices I wish I was graded on. I dont understand why colleges dont just let us write about anything we like and grade us on how well we write rather than content. I mean, what am I supposed to say in my essay "Oh, I did really bad my junior year because I was having some serious girl problems"? I mean, that's the truth, but I think they want me to write about how my brother died and how the grief caused my grades to suffer.

But my brother didnt die. Even if he did, I doubt it would really matter. Death is a really touchy topic for me. I dont like facing death because I'm scared of it. And I'll admit that here and now. That's another topic though.

Homecoming pictures at last.
