Kinda interesting

So the past two days have been kinda.. interesting..
We’re still studying politics and stuff. Watched the second half of Angels in America yesterday. Good play. I really like it.
Now that we’re studying politics and history though, I’m almost kinda bored with it.
My ADD is being annoying lately. They took me off concerta cause it was effing up the prozac, but now I can’t stay focused on one thing for more than ten minutes at a time. Makes it hard to read a 5 page article. This morning I worked on a little spanish. Wrote a three or four sentence story about my dog.

Hay un perro amarillo. Se llama Kosmo. Kosmo tiene dos anos.
Kosmo va a el parque con Hannah y Mab. Kosmo es un perro bonito.

Yah, my spanish needs serious work. It’s supposed to mean:
There is a yellow dog. His name is Kosmo. He is two years old. Kosmo goes to the park with Hannah and Mab. Kosmo is a cute puppy.

While I like studying history/politics, I’m also sort of impatient to get to the more fun stuff. . . Photography, traveling, drama, other stuff, fun stuff.
Tomorrow is opening night for the Freak Fashion Show. So I’ve been working on that like a friggin maniac. Between school, late-night tech rehersals and trying to keep contact with my friends it’s been slightly stressful.


See this is what you get for making me write when my mind wanders like you know it does.. LLLOOOTTTTSSSS of constant ramblings.
I’m not one for routine, in fact, I despise the very word. As I despise hell, all montagues and thee. (Am I a dork?)
I want to do something different every day. I want to change subjects for just a liiiiitttle while cause I know we’re gonna talk about the elections even after they happen, just then maybe I’ll get to do it in spanish. Dad said maybe I could go to Miami with him after I learn more spanish. Or I could go somewhere with Jack and just be completely in the whole all-spanish all-the-time type thing.

Regina also taught me how to properly do laundry today..
I’m ashamed I never learned this years ago but.. I could read when I was two. bite me :-p

Regina says maybe we’d get this blog published. I kinda hope not.. I mean, who wants to listen to my random shhh..tuff? Ah well.. ces’t la vie.

I have a Tobias Wolff novel I want to read.. Its his memior I think.
Yesterday in drama I drew a few self portraits while I wasnt needed to paint sets. They really suck but... I’m no good at drawing. Jake insists my artistic ability is “sufficiently awesome” but in the past few days I haven’t been doing too great on that whole concept. I do think though, that the art classes at CHS (regardless of the not-so-wonderful teacher) helped me a lot in my drawing skills.

There was mention of taking online classes but the only one I’ve been shown so far was something about economics. Not exactly wild about that, but at least it isn’t geometry or biology or the dreaded effin TSA! All of which I know I’ll get to take SOMETIME in the closer-than-I-want-it-to-be future. But not before I take at least one art course*.
I’m not sure if homeschool is the best setup for me. I’m not even sure there IS a best setup for me. But I have Jake to tell me every night that I’m doing really well and I’m so much better off here than in public school.
“Well I know that,” I said, “being locked in a room for 24 hours with Brittany Spears and no way to kill her would be better than spending another three years in public school.”







*Ahh.. Irony
