[Day 240] Do you want a cookie?
I read my favorite book, The Last Days of Summer by Steve Kluger, over Easter weekend, and as usual, I cried uncontrollably. My mom found me sobbing, but wasn’t concerned, since she noticed the book in my hands. For some reason, though, I still felt like I owed her an explanation. Unfortunately, I can’t articulate, or even enunciate, anything when I cry. And as I thought about this, I realized something.

[Day 239] Bart and Wet Dirt
[Day 238] Prom? What??
The day started at 3, when the ladies in the group (except for Danika, who got her hair done somewhere else) came over to my house, the central meeting place, to get ready.

Tonight, I went to prom with all my friends. We all looked great, had fun, and danced like no one was watching (even though people totally were, since we were loud and obnoxious and not grinding like respectful teenagers these days).
Great night. More tomorrow. To keep me honest, also look out for a Will Grayson Will Grayson review Monday and another introspective-ish thing on Tuesday concerning a hypothesis I have about myself.
[Day 236] Potato cooking

So that’s not entirely true. It’s not like I’m Princess Mia- desperate for a boyfriend… Or for anything at all. I’m just… Lonely. Continue reading “[Day 236] Potato cooking”
[Day 235] Eugenia part 9

[Day 233] And now, back to your regularly scheduled blog…
About a year ago, I came up with this brilliant idea. It struck me during AP Language, when my class was reading an essay entitled “Cafeteria Scholars”. It talked about how it wasn’t the delinquent kids who were cheating anymore- it was the smart kids. Because they had so much more to lose, and because grades were more and more based on rote memorization and multiple choice tests, some of these usually intelligent students were turning to adverse measures to pass their classes. And I thought it was such an interesting perspective, I had to write a book about it. Continue reading “[Day 233] And now, back to your regularly scheduled blog…”
