A person starts to live when he can live outside himself. -Albert Einstein

HELLO :) Whats up? I'm sitting in my forth period class, global issues, at this very moment. We're discussing government and poverty. Today is the first day back from march break. I did absolutely nothing on march break but work work work. Well actually I went to my dads house for four days and went shopping for a day but other than that every day was either volunteer work or working at the supermarket I work at. Lately Everyone is talking about prom. Prom this and prom that. I honestly couldnt care less but my dad started to pound me to get a prom dress, when I really want to wait and just get a cheap pretty one. Prom is just a bigger dance to me, but to some people it's about going out from grade twelve with a BANG. But It's no biggie to me. My dad has a corvette so he can drive me up, I'll get out of the shower put mousse in my hair and leave it wavy, I'll do my own makeup, and all else that comes along will be cheap. I'm going with a few friends and my ex-boyfriend wants to go with me. But if I go with him that means I'm stuck to his side and I'm in a lot of pictures with him and I really don't want that many pictures of the two of together out there. I want fun pictures with my friends while i'm actually having a good time, and not just faking having fun. What is your take on dates for prom? Friends or Dates? My ex thinks it's so dumb that i'm signing in friends from another school, but i'm looking forward to it because I believe that because I'm going with friends it will be stress free and fun. I want an easy going night, and I'm hoping that's what I'll get. High school is a big mess right now. I have a book review due tomorrow, i have a work cited that I never got done due tomorrow because I was working on the book review. I have a rough copy of a persuasive essay due thursday that she decided today that we need to pass in and Two days after the persuasive essay is due(april 5th) i ahve another book review due(april 8th). And thats ONLY in my enlgish class. I'm so swamped that i'm tempted to jsut give up. I have to work tonight so I can't do the works cited, but I will finish the book review. I don't know how much longer I can take this, I'm so stressed out! Mitd-terms are coming up too! UGH. On the up-side, exactly one month until my 18th birthday. That means I can vote for this awful canadian election coming up at the first of may. What is your take ont hat? Would you like stephan harper to be re-elected or would you like someone else to come in and take over? I honestly don't know what direction my vote will go. I know I want to vote, because of all the countries that don't have a governement like us and don't get to vote their governement in or have an opinion at all. I think alot of canadians take that for granted. Next on subject, I was accepted to live in dorms at the main university here. I haven't recieved any acceptance letters into any colleges or universities yet though. On living next year I', not sure if I want to a)live with my mom for a year and travel an hour to and from school everyday, b)live in residence, or c) find an apartment and live near school and go home only sometimes to see my mom. It's a tough decision but someones got to make it and we all know that's going to end up being me. Ugh being 17 and in grade twelve is super stressful and I CANNOT WAIT TO GRADUATE!!! I am not counting down the days, but I know only a few months more and then ON TO SECONDARY SCHOOL!! Well the bell jsut rang, time to go to work! Have a great nigth all!! xoxo- J
