Just because...

Readers, by now you must, or must not have been wondering what my plans will be for the next year of my free schooling. Let me just say I have a lot of things I wish to do for my last year of free schooling.

  1. I wish to be diligent in my academics during the school year and try not to be lazy at all. It will certainly be hard for me to do, but I must do it this year so I can at least get an actual nod from a college and not spam and junk mail. I wish to major in philosophy and English writing in college and the only way to get this is if a college paid me because I am quite simply, flat broke to begin with.
  2. Continue my work on the school newspaper. Simply put, there is still much that I could do for the club and I wish to continue doing it.
  3. Go into the talent show. Last year's show was horrendously awful and narrowed to the width of a hair if I must say. All the talent show has been since it started was singing and dancing. The first year it was begun, it had freaking magician and a band performance for crying out loud! I wanted to compete last year but I thought it was cancelled and therefore didn't bother signing on another time because I thought it would have been redundant. I must do this this year because of the fact that I do not want to sit by and turn my hearing aids off from bad singing. I want to inspire a new group of youths to take up the mantle of writing and philosophy, to do this, I must channel my inner transcendentalist and create a speech worthy of lasting memories and profound impacts on the school.
  4. Obtain a summer job. I wish to work at six flags for the summer because I wish to buy myself a laptop computer just to have the freedom of usage that goes with it. As of now, I am using a desktop computer and it suits me just fine.
  5. Keep up my work in my philosophy compilation book. Yes, the book I was seen all over the school last year scribbling in is my most precious possession, as it is my real voice. Thus, I must be diligent with my work in this book as well if I wish to compile it all into a book that I can unleash onto an unsuspecting public.
  6. Interact for once in my no good life. The career I yearn for requires social skills of which I do not possess at this very moment. With that being said, I must try my hardest to connect with people of my age group which would be a very arduous task indeed. How many teenagers do you know today, who aspire to be philosophers or even know what the heck philosophy even is? Most teenagers these days want to go into crime and sell drugs or sell off their own bodies for prostitution and don't give a flying doo-da-day about the world around them and what they could possibly do to change it with their own power.
That should be a good set of goals to acquire for someone as self-contained, shy and anti-social as I am. I really do look forward to the next school year anyway, considering it will be something to do besides nothing.

Until then,

Yours Truly

What I could actually do!

This might seem or sound crazy to you readers, but believe me when you read this, I may be able to write my very own book!

Believe it or not, on a restless Saturday evening through to an even more restless Sunday morning, I was watching one of my favorite television shows on the CBS show "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" and Craig actually gave me a really good idea on how to write a book that every probably did anyway. Just start a book by writing a page a day. By the end of the year, you'll have a book, or as one of my previous teachers would call it: A "Juicy book" since it would be so thick and savory I'd bet. Thus, I'm drawn to the conclusion that starting.....maybe very soon....I will start writing my very own philosophy compilation book! It may not be following in the exact foot steps of my transcendentalist heroes, but it's a step in their direction! Perhaps on my status update informing you readers on Facebook about this blog entry, you could help me out by submitting idea I could use for my compilation book. Let's work together and produce a wonderful book by next....somewhere in August!

By the way, I'm having a very relaxing summer not doing anything. This must be what the kids who put out effort all during their school years must feel over their summer breaks. In September, I have plenty of goals in mind: Don't slack off in the slightest, try and do things ahead of time, rejoin the newspaper club, get into the talent show and stay in it, work more literary magic across the school and get passing, decent grades! Also pass that friggin' HSPA math portion too....

Have a nice rest of the summer,

Yours Truly
