Today’s story of my past is a big realization. I used to-ok, I still- apologize all the time. For stupid things, for random things, and for things that I didn’t need to. The latter was the most prominent. The “confession” below is something I gave to Dylan during sophomore year, after a long era of him refusing to speak to me and being like a jerk. And it kills me to realize that I used to take the heat for him hurting me. Like it was my fault. And it wasn’t. Continue reading “[Day 105] Compromised”

[Day 104] Never thought
Dear J.K. Rowling,
On Saturday, my friend and I went to see New Moon. We’d heard of people who’d been going dressed as Harry Potter characters, which we found quite funny, and decided that if anyone called out “team Jacob!” or “team Edward!”, we would call out “Team Harry!” loud and proud. Continue reading “[Day 104] Never thought”

[Day 102] I deconstruct my thoughts
I’m one of millions of kids that is told by their parents, “No dating until you’re sixteen”. For some reason, I imagined this occasion as follows; On the day of my 16th birthday, the voice of my best male friend (to be decided) would come over the intercom at school (he’d figured out a way to jack it… obviously) and announce that I was now eligible to date. A hoard of attractive high school boys (since everyone would know who I was)Â would stampede towards me…. Continue reading “[Day 102] I deconstruct my thoughts”

[Day 100] Made it
This is an incredible landmark. As of now, I’m going to attempt to make you a list, internet. A list of 100 things I have learned from this journey thus far. Continue reading “[Day 100] Made it”
[Day 99] Not so mellow
I went to “mentor” my fifth grader again, and each time I go, I just get more and more disheartened. This kid knows more about computers at ten than I will fifty years from now. But even as I wallow in self-pity for my lack of significant computer knowledge to keep up with him, being back in the walls of my elementary school will always be magical.
Oh, and my wifi proxy/password I use at the high school works there too. Life’s little victories, eh?
[Day 98] Binoculars
When I woke up this morning, or rather, was awoken by my father, I was convinced it was Sunday. Darn you debate for screwing up my internal clock! Continue reading “[Day 98] Binoculars”
[Day 97] Raise your hopeful voice
Before this year, I never studied. Literally. Never. Not for quizzes, not for tests, not for anything. Sure, there might be some cramming immediately before the test (and when I say immediately, I mean like five minutes before the bell rings), but no studying. I always thought I didn’t need it. Continue reading “[Day 97] Raise your hopeful voice”
[Day 96] What a beautiful mess
FINALLY! Sorry about the wait 🙂
