Oh my...

Oh. My. God. I can't believe that you actually found videos of our classmates on YouTube... That's hillarious!!! I mean, it was hillarious anyway, but just the fact that they're people we know makes it even funnier... Seriously guys, check out those videos Braden posted. You will laugh like crazy, I promise. It's just our classmates, acting like idiots as usual... But definitly funny.

So anyway, it looks like break is half over... Already... I don't wanna go back to the mind-numbing, state-mandated torture called school... If it weren't for you guys and my other friends there, I would run away and never look back... Though I may leave school at some point anyway...

I've looked into things, and I'll definitly stay through my sophomore year. After that, it will hopefully be that academy I'm looking at, but if not, I'm so homeschooling myself. I can't stand staying in school any longer than absolutely necessary. And I learn better by myself anyway.

So, here's what I have to say to individuals.

Braden- Sounds like you really need to talk to your parents about this. Calmly tell them how you feel. You can't snap or yell or whine. Those are immediate turn-offs for dealing with parents. Just tell them how you feel about it and suggest compromises. If your mom wants family time, then try and convince her to have it after church. You could all go out to lunch or something like that. Make sure to counter any concerns with compromises like this, and you should be okay... Make sure that they know that it really is hurting you spiritually to worship in an environment that you're not comfortable in. They're your parents, so they only want what's best for you. It's your job to convince them that this IS what's best for you. I hope this helps and good luck!

Hannah- We really need to get you on parole somehow... Maybe if we meet somewhere semi-educational... We could always meet at the library under the excuse that we're trying to make some headway on our research paper that we'll probably never completely finish they way things are going... Or tutoring... The whole reason you're grounded is because of grades anyway... Or we could always go for the classic begging and pleading method, complete with puppy-dog faces... That always works well for girls, especially on dads. Anyway, we'll figure something out as soon as everyone comes back from wherever they are. So I'll talk to you soon Hannah... And remember, if you ever need anything, especially if you just want to talk, you can come to me, kay? I am the group fortune cookie, remember?

Taylor- You'll be back soon, won't you? Yays! Can't wait to see you again! We shall get together someday soon, kay? *starts singing* Someday, somehow. I'm gonna make it alright, but not a'right now... *stops* Sorry about that... I'm pretty sure that between you and I, we can find a song for pretty much anything... Oh! Btw, I organized my bookshelf! They're all organized by personal preference, then author. Aren't you proud of me? Though I'll probably never get anything else anywhere near organized... Still...

Lekey- Hope you're enjoying New York!! Have lots of fun for me, kay? I love the books you lent me, btw. They've really helped me to liberate my mind. How are you doing, anyway? I've only sent a couple of texts to you recently, so we haven't had a decent convorsation since I spent the night at your house, I don't think... So call me, kay?


So... That's that for today... See you all later!
