After waking up and brushing my teeth like any normal person would do, I decided to take a break before starting my English assignment.

I watched the movie 21 today (which I find is kind of funny because today is August 21st). Now I thought it was pretty intriguing. I mean who wouldn't want to watch a bunch of college students using fake IDs to win poker games? I missed the beginning of the movie (which was about 30 minutes), but I saw most of it and I enjoyed it.

Now it's four o'clock and I still haven't typed up anything for this English assignment. I am totally unsure of what to write. It's kind of difficult because there's no outline for it so you basically just type. I mean I'm afraid that my paper will be complete nonsense and I'll get a bad grade. But then again I think that it's only a summer assignment and they can't be too harsh because we're kind of just guessing and bullshitting this paper.

Over the weekend I went shopping with my mom because it was tax free weekend. I got some jeans that I can actually fit into and some shirts. I also accomplished cleaning my room.

I finished reading The Perks of Being A Wallflower yesterday and I have to say I loved it. It was a great book to me. I couldn't even stop reading it. So I finished it in about three hours. It made me laugh and smile and Charlie was just a witty and hilarious character. I liked the fact that I could really see through the words and just imagine all the emotions he was feeling. I recommend you to read it if you haven't already.

Yesterday I ordered Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. I can't wait for it to come in. I've seen the movie, but books are always different. You can visualize everything the way you want to.

Reading is really calming. I actually have forgotten how much I enjoy reading. I used to read all the time because I actually had time. After reading Perks I realized there are books I can actually enjoy. So this year I'm going to also try to read just for me and for pleasure. Even if I do have school assignments.

Benny bought me an Amazing Spider-Man poster. I was actually joking around when I asked, but then he said he'd buy it. Then he said I have to pay him back, which I have no problem doing. But then he said I don't have to pay him back because it's a gift. I am extremely thankful, but I feel bad because I know he works for his money. Also he's been saving up to buy Alodie something. I know he really likes her and wants to impress her, so I want to pay him back for it. I mean it's only ten bucks, but he could use it to buy her something.

What actually sucks though is that Alodie recently broke up with her boyfriend and from what I hear he treats her like a baby and monitors everything she does. They've been on and off, but Jennifer told me this time is probably the last time. Alodie's still head over heels for her ex and it's completely ridiculous because (I hate to say it but) he dumped her ass.

I am actually dreading the first day of school because I have French III for second period. Honestly, who the hell wants to start every other day with French class? I still need to start my Harry Potter assignment. There's only five days left until Monday. i hate being one of those people that actually count down to when school starts, but let's admit it-- most of us do. And we can't help it because we're either excited or resentful.

I really don't want to go to a new school. Not really new school, but the school. The high school. With over 3000+ kids in the hallways every passing period. I mean people clog up the hallway and stand there and socialize like they'll never see each other again. In all honesty I actually just want to get to class and sit down.

I guess the plus sides are we can actually eat outside for lunch and that I get an extra hour of sleep because I have first period off.

All in all, nobody wants to go back to high school. It's a living hell.
