been a while!

whoa, i haven't posted in a long time!  i just wanted to check up on things around here.  so i'm loving this high school class that i'm taking for credit!  i actually love algebra... i like everything, really.  i like how our teachers want us to express ourselves.  i love how we're allowed to have opinions.  i know that might sound weird, but you know it's true.  i used to be the girl who freaked out when she got called on because she was afraid of getting the answer wrong.  but now, especially because of english, i've come to realize that their are no stupid opinions.  no one's 100% right, and no one's 100% wrong all the time... except maybe george w. bush, haha :DD  but really; share what you think matters.  do what moves you.  learn as much as you can while you still can.  and be young as long as you can.  you'll never get these years back.
in social studies today though, our teacher made a good point.  he was talking about how some of us don't appreciate the school experience right now; that if there weren't laws forcing us to be there, we wouldn't go, because we see no point to it.  which, in a really sad way, is sort of true.  i know i value my education, but there are some kids out there who genuinely just don't care.  that makes me sad.  i love reading, books, magazines, the paper, you name it.  i'm one of the few kids i know that actually watches the news.  i'm one of the few kids i know that actually keeps up with politics.  i'm one of the few kids that actually has opinions for herself, and let's them be heard.  you can't be scared.  you need to let people know how you feel.  we have free speech for a reason, you know.  use it, but use it wisely.  there's a difference between voicing your opinion on an important topic and talking trash.  know it.  embrace it.  use it.

as the memories come flooding back in a field of butterflies.

well... some of you may not know this.  but since it's my nerdly duty, i am *gasp* reading in the summer!  now, i don't understand what's so awful about this... moving on.  i've read these so far...
-1984
-pride and prejudice
-pants on fire
-kiss my book
-the truth about forever
-being (again)
-candy
-twisted (again)
-speak
-marked
-the a-list
-twilight (again)
-jeremy fink and the meaning of life
-13 little blue envelopes
and, my personal favorite and current read
-deadline.
deadline is the story of a senior who is told that he only has a year to live.  it makes a ton of literary references, so i've just made my summer reading list that much longer.
these are the books i have checked out from the library that i've yet to get to:
-places i never meant to be
-the fortunes of indigo skye
-after
-all q, no a:  more tales of a tenth grade social climber
-airhead (written by meg cabot).
add that to breaking dawn, and i'll have read about 5,000 pages by the time school starts.
speaking of the newest stephanie meyer book, i've reserved my copy at barnes and noble and will be attending the release party with my friends.  i got this really cute dress from delia's to go with the theme... i just need to find an equally hot pair of shoes.
