Summer'10

It's time for summer. It's a window between school years and it feels like this is how my life is supposed to be. I'm free from school and the drama bullshit that goes along with it. Honestly, I don't care for high school. I love to learn and that's what school is for. But high school isn't. High school is full of bull shit. If I could, I would do home schooling or accelerated courses to get done quicker. But, alas, I can't.

Sorry about my rant on high school, I'm really just not a fan of it. Never have been, probably never will be.

My past summers have been pretty good, nothing too special. They had one major event in them that made them memorable. But this summer, Summer of 2010, is going to be my summer. My summer for a little bit of freedom, a whole lot of fun, a little bit of money, and experiencing life the way it's supposed to be experienced. When I start my junior year at (insert name of high school) in August, I'll have a large smile and a mind full of memories. I can feel it in my heart.

I'm not making any major plans, I'm mainly letting life come towards me on it's own. But I do have a few plans. (Going to the lake with friends, seeing a certain guy, and working for my freedom.) But the rest of the summer (and my life) has to come to me. And I know when God wants me to go through it, He'll put it in front of me.

My summer had a bumpy start but it's getting smoother and smoother. And I'm liking it.

Summer 2010, you and me will be great friends. Just wait and see.

What is the point?

I'm thanking my lucky stars that I get to say whatever I want on this blog. Why? Because I'm about to stomp on some toes and I HOPE I hurt people. Maybe they'll wake up and realize a thing or two.

Where I'm from, you're not technically 'cool' unless you go out and party. A lot. (SIDE NOTE: I like to think I'm considered 'popular' not 'cool.' I have no desire to be 'cool.') So, that leaves a lot of the kids that I know - whom are extremely 'cool' - out of that loop. Wow. For some reason, this bugs me. Not to the point where I lose sleep but to the point where I don't care and want to say something.

How is being intoxicated so much that your mannerism is altered? Don't understand what I mean? I mean, how is it 'cool' to be the slow kid all the time? Hate to say it, but if you do it enough, guess what is going to happen. You're brain dead. I've seen it happen too many times. It's not attractive. At. All.

Now, I'm a little biased on this. I like being in control of what I say and do - and WHO I do - so I may be looking at this from a totally different perspective. I know not everyone loves being in complete control like I do and loves being able to operate their motor skills at maximum potential. But I do. So, I'm going to try to comprehend this from other's perspective.

Okay, yeah. I still see absolutely NO fun it. If I want to act like a complete FOOL, I could do it on my own when I'm having fun with the kids I'd consider 'cool.'

And we look at my generation and ask what's going on. *shakes head*

Pressure is everywhere, but it's funny.
