Hello there.
Before I tell you, reader, about anything thats actually going on in my life that's relevant, I feel the need to rant. Last week my English teacher gave out awards to her students for perfect attendance. I don't agree with this, really. It's like "Congratulations for having a stronger immune system than your classmates!" or better yet, "Congratulations for coming to school and spreading your cold with the rest of us!" Yeah, I don't think people should be awarded for that. I mean, I know that there are kids that skip school and such, but I don't think that's the majority of people. But it doesn't matter much anyway, because my English teacher is kind of an airhead. She's very nice and all, but she's not the most... consistent teacher.
Speaking of which, I was just assigned a book called The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins for my first ever real book report. Yes. I'm almost fifteen years old, and I've never written a proper book report. Is this my fault? No, I was just never assigned one. Kinda sad, but whatever. It's not the actual report I wanna talk about, it's the book. At first I found it very disturbing, like it was examining humanity in a way that made me really sad... but I've grown to like it and it's not so bad. I'm past the halfway point now and I decided to just suck it up and read it. But I was kind of taken aback when I was assigned that book by my teacher, when she'd never read it no less. Oh well, I guess... I don't really feel like talking about the book but the wikipedia article about it pretty much covers it, if you're interested.
In real life current news, I'm rather sick. I caught the bug that my whole family has had now. I was the last to get it, I woke up Wednesday morning with a mild sore throat that got worse throughout the day. By Thursday morning, it had escalated into a runny nose in addition to the sore throat, which pretty much disappeared after a while. Yesterday wasn't too bad until late in the evening when I started to get the cough. The sickness is pretty much at bay for now though, and almost all the coughing has stopped. Advil Cold and Sinus is God in a pill, I swear. I really hope I'm feeling much better tonight, because Sarah invited myself and Ryan to her cadet dance tonight and I'd really like to go. There's also the reaction from Ryan seeing me in my dress that I'll be wearing that I'll look forward to. Hehe.
Not a very coherent post but it's something. That's all I have to say I guess.
Yours truly,
