Though most of my readers are crownies, the fact is that i may very well have some non crownie people, so heres the quick update on my classes

Homeroom - not much to report. Really dont have any complex descriptions or feeling bout this.

American Lit - Not as much homework as previous years and the material, though it doesn't exactly fascinate me, isn't completely dull. The studing of fiction is the part that does keep it interesting for me. Problem is that the homework is hard to figure out. Part of my frustration with that is my difficulty with staying organized.

Study Hall - Fun, not enthralling, but fun. lot of euchre, some stupiduel. maybe i can get a short game of mafia going sometime.

SAT class - hmm... cant say i like this class a whole lot, but i also cant say its difficult, and as its taught by mrs s, its not nearly as bad as it could be.

Lunch - ... i want my peanut product back... and wheres my soda... and now my junk food... I have nothing left... cept my favoite mercury-soaked and somewhat-healthy strange-thing-that-im-really-suprised-i-liked-though-its-been-one-of-my-favorite-foods-for-as-long-as-i-can-remember food -- TUNA... which mom doesnt buy very often.

Health - Oog. I admit that its informative, but like all health books, this curriculum seems to assume we have little life beyond our health. there are other ways to be happy, and they dont require a total rewriting of lifestyle and schedule. It only talks about how comlex it is to be healthy, but im not seeing too much about the benefits... if im gonna be doing all this, i want something out of it.

Art History - Again, oog. Not the most interesting topic in the world, and im honestly confused why were taking a course on it, but i am. Art isnt how my imagination expresses itself. fiction history, id be engrossed.

American history - Not the most interesting curriculem, but considering I have Chris' devestatingly smart dad for a teacher, and that the class spends more time on critical thinking than on history, this is probably my favorite class this year.

Sci olympiad - Hmm. mixed feelings here. itl probly be fun.

Basketball - Im not doing the team... the class is okay though, but im really not sports person

Random afterwards... mainly talking to people. most often EG, Mariel, or Matt. little confusing whats going on sometimes. maybe if a few who stay a while after come up with a plan to play stupiduel every week or something.

Physics - taught by my dad. Amazing teacher. the class is a lot more interesting them chem,, but a lot more math, and i REALLY dont like math...

Hmm... what else?

NHD: I would like to go with Ry, Kiri, Mitch, and Chris, but the fact is that that fifth place is probably needed more by vic than me. The alternatives include teaming with either new people, people i dont know super well, or people i dont think i can work ultra well with. I could go with lex, but i cant see us making that great a team without a mediator that knows us both well. Other option is going with Ian and Mariel. most of the stuff iv teamed up with the latter have come out ok, but Ian... I can see me and him doing great things if we ("we" meaning "I") can get past that first instinct to annoy and irritate. Other issue is that we have a narrow window of mutual interests, and we'd have to avoid our "hot button" topics. im also a little afraid well discover new ones. I guess my thoughts with this is more what its do to my friendship with ian. Itl either put a LOT of stress on it making us more frustrated with each other than usual, or itl help us find a common ground and give us a chance to find ways we can work together.

Well, thats my life in a nutshell, ill close with some lyrics to a song stuck in my head this week.

Wish I may,
Wish I might
Be someone else tonight.
Sometimes I wish I was never born at all.
And I'll try to save the world
Cause in the end I know
I'm the chosen one,
I'm the chosen one.
