Lack of Photos!

Usually I go outside to take pictures of nature, but as of now it is officially really freaking cold. So, I have resorted to finding artistic spots in my bland house. I only found one, a chair near a corner. When I took the picture, it made an awesome shadow, then I edited it to put a sepia twist on it.

Going to Philidelphia tomorrow with my AP Chemistry class. Hoping to take lots of artsy-fartsy pictures there, not just ones of my friends! Well, friend. I only have one in that class.

I also found an unused, 5 subject notebook that I swooped up and am now going to use for writing down synopises that I randomly think of, or random quotes and such.

I hate starting something on a laptop, then having to e-mail it to yourself to get it done on the desktop. I wish they could talk to each other; that would be so helpful.

My Autosave has failed... I wonder if that's a bad thing?

Everyone's pressuring me for SATs... I've taken it before, but it didn't count. I guess I want to be good when I really take it, but it's like everything is weighted upon this one number. Pressure, pressure, pressure. My math teacher blew up on us again. Said none of us were prepared for life, and that we would be dead outside of high school. She scares me; please just teach me math!

Okay, Peer to Peer went well today. As a Peer Leader, it is my job to mold the squishy minds of tender freshmen. But, they don't want to be molded. But they're so cute, I just laugh at them. And my senior partner is so awesome, it all just goes really well I think. Even though it's just the same four kids talking... I try to get them all to, but you know those kids who even if they talk no one listens anyway. I hate that... I think I used to be one of those kids. Probably still am!

I think people will listen to me... one day.

Oh, my math teacher...

Oh my goodness. So in honors Pre-Calc today, we were all toast, all twenty of us. Many of us just had a drilling English period before this and the seniors I know just had some kind of test. So, she was trying to get us to derive one equation from another. I knew it could be done, we'd done it before; but I just couldn't pay attention! None of us were into the class that day like we usually were, or at least I usually am. I was staring at the clock waiting to leave, even though there were twenty minutes to go. Anyway, she totally flips out. She tells us we're the worst honors class she's ever had, and that none of us are going to succeed except for two of us. That we won't get into the AP Calc class because we don't like to work, except for those two that she talked about before. It's like a clone of my mother every fifth period; I thought I could go to school and escape her!

So, anyway, my friend and I get into our next period class. And we're both saying, "No, she meant you," about the 'special two people' thing. We're jealous of each other for no reason at all.

Also, our school is going to participate in a campaign for Aveda where we collect caps to recycle, and I'm apparently in charge of getting it started. I know it will look good on college apps, at least that's what my teachers tell me, but I have all this weight on my shoulders right now! To an outsider, filling out a small form and talking to teacher may not seem like much, but once the ball gets rolling, I know other people will want to talk to me. Or what if they make fun of me! Everyone already calls me a tree-hugger, just because I always throw my plastic in the recycle buckets, and am a vegetarian. It's just... None of them understand that if we don't take care of the earth we live on now, we won't be getting another one.
