Random Update

Today was the first day of the new semester. As such, I think its about time to bring in another blog post, hopefully one that will break the string of depressed and/or philosophical ones that have been present on my and my friends' blogs for quite a while now.

First up (after the boring and completely useless homeroom) was Biology 2's second half, now in first period from the third period slot it was in last semester. Both my friends were in there as was my girlfriend, which was to be expected. I did get a couple of surprises in that class though. The IB (that's the program we're in at school) has been canceled and Ms. B (the teacher) is pregnant. I was more surprised by the latter, I knew the IB was too good to last for long.

Second period was Pre-calculus. That is going to be a very boring class, although I could be sorely mistaken. Only time will tell, I guess. Oh, and the crew was there too.

Third period was US History. We have this new guy in there as a sort of assistant to Mr. Noblitt, a student teacher I think was what he called him. Anyway, that was new (although he was there for the last bit of last semester). The only person missing in there was Reggie, but he was in Computer Apps 2 (lucky bum!).

Fourth period was Art 2. I was all alone in there, Ann in Chemistry (with a very wacky teacher, I might add), David in Criminal Justice, and Reggie in US History with Ms. Yancey (very old and boring teacher). But its going to be an easy class; most of it is over drawing and sketching (my favourite part of art).

Ok, that's about it. I.... got nothing. Oh! For those of you who understand/care/whatever, I have now made it into the coolest part of World of Warcraft: Outland! ^_^ I'm gonna go play now that I'm out of stuff to say.

Problems, meh...

Its been a few weeks since I posted last, so I guess I had best do it while I'm thinking about it.

I feel miserable. The people around me are worse off, but I'm only feeling bad because I can't help them. David's girlfriend broke up with him recently and his aunt died even more recently. Zac's got his usual issues (very long story. If you really want to know, get a drink and snack and sit in a comfy chair, it'll take a while). Ann's dealing with bad grades, a class she hates with every fiber of her being, and some other issues.

As much as I would love to get them back together and see him happy about that, David's single now. His aunt died two days before Christmas (not a damper on the fun at all, is it?). He seems to be doing ok, but for anyone who has read his blog or saw him for a while after that stuff happened, he's definitely been hit hard. He firmly denies this, of course (yes, I know you're gonna read this. That's why I'm saying it!)

Zac's issues are his own. Like I said, it would take a long time to tell all about it. Just know that he's never gotten over them and likely never will.

Ann's been going through a lot of stuff. I know about this stuff. She doesn't really want help, which makes me feel bad that she won't let me help, but I let it go. She, like me (not on purpose, I can say with complete honesty), is having some problems with grades. While I'm barely passing, she's doing better, but its still not something she likes (I don't like mine any better, but I guess I'm just more mellow or something o_O). The class she doesn't want is Spanish 5, something that I'll have to take next year (I didn't take it this year, but I have to before I graduate). Well, she's not doing so hot in that (I likely won't either, because I don't get Spanish any better than she does). And on top of all that, she's got some issues at home.

So I feel like crap because I don't like my friends not being at the top of their game, but there's not much I can do. Until they get better/over/etc their respective problems, I'm gonna be in my own personal hell. Time to end this post before it never stops.

Until next time
