So, the thing is, the teachers are all like, "This year, we're supposed to give you less homework and no homework on weekends." And then comes the usual question from us, the students, "Why?" Teacher's reply: "We're trying to acknowledge the fact that students have lives outside of schools." T_T Yeah, right. I bet it was parents' complaints. I still get math homework everyday, though.

I'm still getting used to the schedule, with block days and tutorials. All the while, my parents are like, "You should've just taken another elective, then we could drop you off at the same time everyday." Yeah, it's true; I should have. But I'm pretty happy with my schedule right now. Japanese, Bio, PE, Geometry Enriched, Lit/Writing, and then Choir. Although I have to walk faster from PE to Geo and Lit to Choir, it's all good.

Currently, I am attempting to start playing the piano again. I took piano lessons years ago and forgot it all. I can only play very basic songs, like the ones in the first lesson book. In Choir, we are learning music theory, so it's helping refresh my memory a bit. I still can't play really hard songs, though. ^^;;

There's so much to say... and I'll put together the Yellowstone post. It's not fresh in my head anymore, but it's still pretty clear there.

What's with that temper of his, anyway? I mean, sure, I have a temper and I'm moody. But still, he gets mad at every little thing. There can't be a twig that snaps faster than he does! It would be funny if I wasn't so pissed right now. I can usually get over it and be happy, but this time I won't forgive him so easily. Everyday, everyday, it's always the same. "He's still a little kid." Don't give me that shit!

So today, the internet goes down. I go reset it and return to my room, saying, "The internet was down, it's fixed now." A few minutes later, he's kicking my door and yelling, "The internet's not working!" I say I just fixed it and he's like, "It's not working here." Then he goes and turns off the power my sister's room, where the internet router is. The internet completely goes down and he's like, "It's better that the whole thing is down than you getting to use it." It took me a while to get it back up and then I had to restart my computer. He just sat there laughing his ass off, probably. All that matters to him is playing his computer games and talking to his stuck-up snobby friend. What's up with that?

I won't even bother complaining to parents. It's still, "He's still young. He'll be fine when he grows up." When will he grow up, huh? Tell me that for a change. I'm not taking that as an excuse. He's pampered too much. My parents do his homework for him. And they wonder why he's not getting any smarter. Time for a reality check.

So, life continues. Tomorrow's another day in high school. School feels really laid-back and all; everyone's walking leisurely to class, chatting with friends at their lockers. Some homework, not a ton. Classes all fine. The arriving Homecoming. It's a kind of nice change from middle school. Mentioning Homecoming... our football team sucks. T_T I heard the record last year was one in nine wins. I've never actually seen them play, but they've lost the games so far. I guess it's all about the dance, anyway.

The chatter is all in the direction of the grand Homecoming dance. One of my friends is being pressured into asking someone. I would like to see him ask her, too, but I'm not going to push him. There's plenty doing that already. "If you don't ask her tomorrow, I'll beat you up." Poor guy. He'll survive... somehow. ^^;; And then there's talk about the dance in January where girls ask guys out. I'm thinking of asking someone. No, seriously thinking. My friend thought I was joking, but I don't joke about things like that.
