I've got nothing to say but it's okay (good morning)

Unfortunately I don't have anything of particular substance to write about, but I suppose I can just document a bit of my life in this post.
Wow, yesterday was insane... five of our six classes were incomplete due to assemblies, fire alarms being set off and locker checks. Good times :)
The weather here's absolutely gorgeous. It was bright and warm with a breeze all yesterday morning and afternoon. After school I hung out at the park with a couple of friends and chatted, which I always love. Just when we parted it started to rain while still remaining sunny. Beautiful! (Also beautiful was the guy working as a child supervisor at the park :P)
Today was almost 20, and the car is starting to get that open-all-the-windows-as-soon-as-you-get-in feeling due to the heat. Ahh, summer!
Somehow upbeat Beatles songs lend themselves to the overall cheerfulness. Recently I've had Lovely Rita stuck in my head, but it's such an awesome song I don't mind... although I think my friends are sick of me randomly "Lovely Rita, meter maid" over and over.
Last night on Bill Moyer's Journal, Jon Stewart was interviewed. It was a great interview and well worth watching! You can check it out here.
Anyway, that's just a quick post, I'll have to write more soon!

Happy Earth Day!

I posted about Earth Day on Albertan Youth For Change. That blog hasn't gotten much (well, any really :P) traffic, mostly due to the fact that I haven't really made an effort to get it out there yet. That and since I'm no longer part of the Stroumbi, not as many people check out my profile out of sheer curiosity. I'm a bit nervous, but I'll do it, as it's very important to me :)
After I left you on Friday the day did get better. In social the student teacher, "Mr.F" (teehee Arrested Development joke) actually lets us talk politics, something the regular teacher actually avoids. I had a good time talking about the government and consumerism with a couple of classmates.
Better be going... celebrations of the Earth await me!

=bec:ky

I write this in computers... our group finished pumping formulae into spreadsheets, so we have free time.

The past weeks has been very hectic, to quote Paul Simon "my mind's distracted and diffused, my thoughts are many miles away". Everything that's happened around the world has been on my mind, and I've been pushing my friends away. Frankly, I'm sick of all the superficial in junior high, and the lack of caring for other human beings. Everyone seems fake to me, and I just want to get away from it. I hope next year will be better, but I doubt it will be too different.

Well, there's the bell, I'd better go, we have a provincial French test... I'll write more soon.

Kicking it old school

I've been back for a few days now, and I'm getting back into the rhythm of things. I'm used to the kids and all the grumpy teachers. I don't know why they're grumpy, as we just had fourteen days of break, with another five (well, four for them, as they have to work on our PD day) ahead of us. We had three days of schooling this week! Nevertheless, they were especially angry-at-the-world today.

Not to mention I've fallen back into a pit of shallowness again (teehee, oxymoron). I was over him on spring break, I really was. Then I pass him once on the street and I just about faint. Good for me, I know. I'm quite disappointed with myself.

And because I actually hate being shallow, I've started a blog dedicated to Albertan youth making a difference. I'm a bit unclear of the direction at this point, but I hope to work on it and see where it goes. Because I'm original and great at making names for things, it's brilliantly called Albertan Youth For Change . If you want, check it out!
