All in all…it’s been good. Hot, though that’s not always a bad thing. And it’s nice to be able to eat Quiznos every day for lunch again.

American Studies Teacher: “So, why did people act so recklessly in the 20s?” Me: “Well, they had the attitude of ‘Fuck everything’.” AST: *stunned* Umm, wow, okay… –Later AST, to English Teacher: “You know, Steven cursed in class today.” ET: “He what?” AST: “He said the f-word.” ET: “STEVEN DROPPED THE F-BOMB?!” –During an APCS […]

Counterintuitive as it may seem, it’s worst when they talk to you about it. Proponents for communication have strong arguments, but their examples have underlying requirements. For example, the problem has to be addressed directly. There can’t be any beating around the bush. For thought springboarding, sure, you can be as indirect as you want; […]

I managed to convert my usual procrastination tendencies (a response to my workload) into posting energy. The SATs went fine. They gave us an awfully bullshit writing topic, one that bordered on philosophical. It seemed to go along with the trend that started with the first SAT writing topic, but not with most of our […]

Writing that last post was scary and thrilling. In some ways, I blew things out of proportion. I had felt angry at the time, but once the immediate situation passed, so did that emotion. So why was it so prevalent just a single post ago? Cause I wanted it to be. Before that, I had […]

I tend to scrap these kinds of posts, because I like being liked. If it were possible, I’d want to be liked by everybody. I’d be perfectly happy and content if I was an upstanding member of a small community, with a good reputation and role to fulfill, with both acquaintances and friendships. And posts […]

During this shorter trip, we’ll be visiting upstate colleges (SUNYs and Cornell stick out in my mind). Nothing grand, but it’s not like I had a shot at going to those Ivies anyway. Regardless, it’ll be […]

SarcasticSteven (1:05:13 PM): if you took the last three days and isolated them, you’d think i had a social life SarcasticSteven (1:05:20 PM): it’s blowing my mind And by three days, I meant Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. That shows you how long I’ve been meaning to post, but kept back because of the deadly duo […]

So that’s what it feels like to truly worry. To feel as if the whole world is full of dangers, of evil people lurking in the shadows. To put your complete trust in that person, leaving not a drop for anyone else. To want to let go, but find yourself gripping even tighter. To fear […]

Male bus drivers know everything. It’s scary. American Studies has always been a mixed bag. On one hand, the teachers give out homework by the buttload, and when you’re being ass-fed for two terms, your large intestine and anus stretch to the point where a buttload is a lot. Projects are almost always late-night affairs, […]
