Don't you wish you were British?

Mood: Impossibly random
Listening to: Nightmare of You

Anywhere, of course. Things have been lovely lately...And very interesting. I'm a in a peachy, cantaloupe-colored sort of mood--if moods can be colored, which I believe so. Lately I've been balancing a massive amount of schoolwork, trying to keep up with Teds (the mysterious man mentioned in my last entry), balance out my friends (a feat only meant for circus performers!), and work. Work has never been very high on achievement for anyone's agenda...But it's spring, and I suppose I'm feeling ambitious. I've been up at Pets Plus a lot recently, hopefully earning brownie points with Mum, and preparing myself mentally for mowing the grass. It's not totally insane to think of mowing the grass when it's March, but it is when it snowed just the day before! But the grass has had an explosion--green popping out everywhere--somehow that was much more fun before St. Patrick's Day.

Schoolwork...Has taken me over and made me its slave, unfortunately. My college credit class, World Civilizations, has been the cause of this. I sent the better part of this month making reading notes over a crazy amount of time. Reading, making notes, and doing terms for 22 pages in two nights? Hello? Where's the logic in that?! But that's all blown over, thankfully. Now I've just been completing random German homework (and whoops, forgot about that for tonight), and MOLEs for chemistry (think back, you lot, a mole is 6.02x10 to the 23rd [I can't do exponents, lol]) of EVERYTHING. So far, my chemistry textbook has done a lovely job of botching up the descriptions, like moles of apples and cars, instead of relating it to more ordinary foreign things like elements and compounds. Geometry has been going surprisingly well--I got an A in that class when I truly deserved a D, b/c I had copied everything--but I got out of that fix and I'm shocked at how easy the class has become. Don't ask for the insight into the logic; it's a complete mystery to me! And English has been, well, typically English. The Lady of the Glass Cock (my teacher) assigned a decent book for once; Of Mice and Men I didn't finish the book (it wasn't necessary), but I got the gist of it, and suddenly I understand all those "Lennie and George" jokes you see in the Looney Tunes and I'm shocking myself over how offended I've been about it! But Mrs. Glascock has been her typically blonde self...I'm not going to go into the gory details of how silly she's been, but trust me, it's been bad. (Ditto for my geometry teacher.)

Friends have been totally bananas lately. I actually went to a friend's party not too long ago--it was lots of fun, but a total circus. My friends THRIVE on drama, and I shrug it off. I dunno, I guess I'm drama-retardant. But I'm seriously worried about a few of them...Of course, I'm not ALLOWED to be, by some weird teen code that says you're not allowed to be concerned at ALL for the well-being of your mates. Pooponbread! So the result has been that I've been avoiding some of those whom I'd really wish to care about, and becoming closer to acquaintances...Some of which I can't say I'd vouch for their sanity. Such is life! (Howevs you say that in French.) We'll see how this all blows down. Meanwhile, it's nice just to rummage through the expanding toy chest that is my mind right now and map things out. Lol, I think I'm mincing metaphors.

Kudos! SG
