How To Read a Book

Sun Aug 30, 2009, 4:06 PM
School started Thursday, and I had my first volleyball game Friday. I'm exhausted. I spend about 10 hours at school a day, that's crazy!

Since I'm in 9th grade now I have to take Human Letters for the next 4 years. It's Literature and history put together. What sucks is that I have to retake this states test that I coincidentally took((and failed)) in fourth grade. It's on Tuesday! We had a four days heads up, and I'm dieing of lack of sleep here.
This particular class just so happens to be 2 class periods long, so we're looking at about an hour and fifty minutes here, without my ten minute break. We are also reading this terrible book called, god forbid, "How To Read a Book", and it's about how to read a book. I'm a slow reader when it comes to school books, so imagine my dismay when my teacher assigned 27 pages of this pointless, small point font book; Or my dismay where I accidentally took the wrong book home that night so I couldn't do it; or MAYBE my fury when she assigned another 20-30 some pages the next day. That brings me up to, for my weekend homework in this class: 56 pages of this impossible book, and the memorization of all the US states, locations, and capitals!
((But the states one isn't that hard, I just enjoy complaining))

I feel bad for my lonely little copics. They sit here by my computer wanting to be colored with, but I'm too busy and tired to draw something to color. So I stare pathetically back at them, telling them that labor-day weekend is coming up, and if I finish my homework, and catch up on sleep- maybe I can spare a couple hours to do some fan art. Or maybe, some original art... but probably fanart....

I went to my cousins sleepover last night. It was for her birthday-party. We went tubing, when it was 67 degrees outside. And because of a lack of life jackets two people had to stay on the beach at a time while two others went to tube, and one helped balance the weight on the boat with my uncle, who was driving.
I froze my fat little ass off out there!!!!
And of course since it's a sleep over we didn't fall asleep until some crazy hour in the morning, so that added to my lack of sleep even more.
After the sleep over we went to church together, and that's where our group dispersed with different rides. Apparently I fell asleep during mass... hmph, imagine that- not that I care.


Why do I do this?
I post a journal once a week complaining about my life to a profile page that no one comes to anymore. It's therapeutic, yes, but who cares? Who cares that I'm exhausted, or that I have to read a stupid book? It's like I'm blogging and no one's listening.
So this is what my life's come to: me adding to the abundant pointless blogging of the world.

I'm listening. :hug:

Oh, I'm in 9th grade now too.

If they ever let you choose what peoples' letters to study, I recommend H.P. Lovecraft. He's notorius as the 20th century's most prolific letter writer. He wrote somewhere in between 40,000 to 100,000 letters. :omg:

I'm doing him for my famous person speech. He is like THE best weird fiction (horror, macabre, science fiction) writer that ever lived.

That sounds cool. But I don't think my class is like that... They give us books, we read, we talk, we test, and we get a new book....
