Russell and I discuss guilt over leaving school early, a press release about the blog, my father overreacting, the period party, historical accuracy, small things, big things, a little bit about the Oscars, Dolly Parton, video game frustration, school budget cuts, senioritus, procrastination, bad teachers, good teachers, Lemony Snicket, lots and lots and lots and lots of stuff.
We finally figured out how to get the new Garage Band working so Russell and I could record shows via iChat. In this show, we discuss Russell’s free backstage passes to NOFX, meeting Ani Difranco, Bob Dylan, Madonna, Bad Lyrics, an interesting e-mail I recieved, a censored post on my website, comments on that post that might lead people to believe something else…. stuff.
In the past few weeks, it seems that the only thing that I’ve managed to get up on this website is photos. While photos are great, they don’t really tell you what’s been going on in my life. Besides having tons of time on my hands. So. What has been going on in my life? Hardly anything. I almost regret clicking that “New Entry” button in Movable Type. I don’t want this to be one of those entries.
I mean, I have been up to some things. I got into four schools (Hunter College, Brooklyn College, School of Visual Arts, and Pratt) and I got a partial scholarship from Pratt. I got my Cooper Union home test in right on the nick of time and I’m still waiting to hear back from them. I think it was the end of the whole College-FREAK-OUT thing that started the having nothing to do. I have nothing to distract me and worry me now other than my school work. And that’s just too dull to get scared about.
When you’re little…. or even a Junior in high school, you might think that Senior year is going to be the hardest thing EVER. It’s not. It’s more like first grade all over again except way easier and with three hours of free time every day. I only have three required classes left and one of them (literature) isn’t even every day. Since laptops are now banned from Buffalo Public Schools, I’m forced to use the school eMacs and surf the web totally aimlessly. After about two weeks of doing that for four periods a day, that gets kind of boring.
My life at home isn’t all that interesting either. Before, I was doing all sorts of productive things. Photo shoots, art projects, last-minute college applications. Now I’m just bored. (I washed the dishes yesterday! SCORE!) I’m in a rut for the first time in such a long time. I NEED TO DO SOMETHING. But just not my Triceratops presentation for Evolution. Please don’t slap me for complaining about having no work to do.
