School's Out For Summer - Eh, Not Really

Before I get to the blog topic, I HAVE to tell you a story!

This was Thrusday of last week and it was during lunch. I took my usual trip to the bathroom because I find it conveinent to go during lunch do I don't have to miss class time, although sometimes almost explode during fourth period because my green tea goes right through me... but anyways, I was on my way to the bathroom. I walk in and go to the first stall, pee in the toliet. "Ugh." next one, same thing, "UGH!" third one, SAME thing! "LADIES! Honestly!"

I turn to some juniors in the bathroom and say, "Oh my gosh, honestly?!" And then a long stream of this: "Oh my gosh!" "that is disgusting" I can't believe this" "what the hell?!" "why does this always happen?!" "Why can't we flush the toliet?!" "WHY?!" So that filled the bathroom, and I HAD to pee so I just decided to suck it up and flush it.

Using my foot to press the pedal, it flushed but it was flushing YELLOW liquid! So, putting on my big girl panties and dealing with it, I went pee and ran out of the stall, totally disgusted. I went to wash my hands when I noticed something... the water coming out of the faquet was... YELLOW!

I nearly died but I did almost jump out of my skin. "It's the water!" I cried. "It's the water!" That's when the juniors just turned and left, saying, "I'm gonna go pee during Geometry," UGH! I WASHED my hands with that putrid yellow LIQUID! That could have been pee for all I know, but someone suggested it was sulfur. So, I ran out of the bathroom, quietly screaming and went over to my table and demanded someone for hand santizer. I wanted to puke right then.

I guess that saying, "There's something in the water," applies then. *shudders*

Well, in Graphic Deisgn, we're trying to create a virtual/3-D looking apple in Photoshop. So far it's kinda... confusing. But if I finish it during this period, I'll post it.

Anyway, time is kinda running short so I'll cut to the chase.

How was my summer? Well, I can't say I'm dissatisified or satisified with it. It went all right, it didn't go awesome and it wasn't horrible. But border line horrible. I spent most of my summer babysitting my little brother because my dad works in another city during the week and my mom works from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. And my sister doesn't do shit, so it was just me... poor 'ol me.

Here was the routine I had fallen into, get up, make my little brother breakfast, drink some coffee, veg out to Pokemon, unload the dishwasher, load the dishwasher, clean the kitchen, eat breakfast, my sister finally wakes up, make beds, I get dressed, make lunch for my little brother, make lunch for me, my sister eats lunch and goes up stairs and takes her afternoon nap (I swear she doesn't sleep at night because she's too busy talking to her boyfriend), unload the dishwasher, load it, clean the kitchen, veg out to Pokemon again and hope to honest hell my mom gets home within the next hour. And then I get the rest of the evening, which is from 6 to 12 to myself... And then it starts again the next day.

That's the routine I had fallen into and had gotten quiet comfortable with it... not in a good sense, only with familiarity. And on top of that, I had to read two books and annotate them for Honors English 1, Lord of the Flies and A Separate Peace. But we had a choice between two books, A Separate Peace and The Pearl. And I chose A Separate Peace because it sounded really interesting compared to the Pearl. Little did I know, 98% of the class chose the Pearl because apparently it was 100 pages shorter than the other. -_- WHAT THE HECK.

So, I went through and annotated the entire copy of the book but I ended up getting a 100 on it so, no big deal but still. But here are the themes we had to annotate for: Man's inhumanity to man, power and domination, and loss of innocence. Now, teachers wonder why people because mass murderers... >.> It's theses gosh-dang THEMES they're trying to teach us.

So, as a conclusion, 2011 summer was all right. 2010 summer sucked. And I don' think that I've had an AWESOME summer yet.

Also, over the summer, I did manage to finish a good draft of Xenophobia which has sparked up my sudden obsession with editing it fiercely. I want to be published really bad and the horrible thought dawned to me and then they were confirmed moments later... My mom doesn't think I have what it takes to be published. She thinks I'm too young and naive and that I don't have a chance... Now, that seemed to down my spirits for the remainder of that day. And I think that's another reason she doesn't want to read it is because she doesn't want to see my humiliated but I want it so bad... I mean, I'm determined. Who knows... really.

Comment, I need some new ideas for blog topics! :D Also, how well am I doing? All right, I hope.

Talley-ho,
