Seven hours from now I'll be awake.

So I should probably go to sleep. But I can't. I have too much on my mind. So I decided to blog. It's been a while since I've sat down and written a nice normal entry...not that anything that I do has ever been normal...What is normal anyway? Does anyone know? I don't think they do. Society says it's being anorexically skinny and wearing the same clothes as everyone else and being "well-rounded", I don't think that's normal. I think that's sickening.

The three day weekend is over. It doesn't bother me that much though. School doesn't bother me that much anymore either. I've just become too care-free to worry about stupid stuff anymore. It would help a lot if I wasn't so much of a damn perfectionist though. I had to redo my English homework five times tonight because I messed up on one little thing. But over all, school is good and I love my friends, who definitely make it all worth while.

Driver's Ed really does suck though. A lot.

Oh yeah, the mudcats game was yesterday. It was a lot of fun, mainly because it was with TYM and I love them. Oh, and I SAW SCOTT! Who I hadn't seen since 8th grade graduation! Yay. And somehow Brent managed to throw a peanut down my shirt from like 12 feet away but he couldn't do it when he was right next to me? And I was going to go tackle some old lady that ran into Emily but that didn't happen cause she was old and probably miserable and I didn't want to make her life more miserable. Actually that's a lie. I just didn't want to get arrested for accidently killing an old lady at a baseball game.

I don't know why the battery light on the laptop is blinking. It's plugged in. I hate technology.

I am going to fail chemistry.

I couldn't even get through the first problem on my algebra II homework for this weekend. That may be because I learned this stuff at 8:30 on a Friday morning, and then sat down and tried to remember it at 9:00 Monday night, but hey, I should've been able to at least get the answer to the first problem. I am doomed to fail at life, well maybe not at life, but I'm definitely doomed to fail Potter's class.

Looks like I'll be reading all of Act I in Julius Ceasar tomorrow night because I really don't feel like doing it tonight!

Did you know that what you see when you look in a mirrior really isn't what other people see at all. Because you see the reversed you. I never thought of this before. I knew that things are backwards in a mirrior, but I never thought of myself being reversed too. That's just way too weird for me. It's kind of like life though isn't it? What other people see of us isn't what we see of ourselves. Crazy. And have you ever wondered how other people view you? Like you look at someone and say, "Oh, look, it's so-and-so." But you never think of people looking at you and thinking, "Oh, look, it's Erika." Maybe this is something that I've created in my own little strange world...but that's how a lot of things end up now.
