is just life for now. Not much is going on. I'm ready for graduation more than ever before. I must say it's partially due to the fact that the MIT12 chat is full of people who seem cool and make me look forward to college. The other reason is that I just look around Masterman and realize that I do not like so many of the people who I have spent the last 8 years of my life with. That may be because I know too much about them but either way I just feel like it's time to set Masterman aside and move onto bigger and better things.
That part about missing people? Well in these times we have so many ways to keep in touch with people. It's not like it was before where you had to like call people and try to track people down and stuff. Now if people want to be found they can easily be found. Plus all those people who I'll miss (you know who you are) I'm pretty sure I'll still talk to them anyway. As Ebonee says, "Friends are for reasons, seasons and lifetimes." Sorry but I must be real I'm only taking the lifetime friends along with me to college. By that I mean I'll talk to some people (probably not as much as I do now but I'll still talk to them) and others I will just let fade away. It's the natural order of things.
Ok I had more to say last night but I don't remember so I'm just going to end this now... cause there is no point in leaving it as a draft...
ok.
end.

:o
Two people (and also maybe Quintin read my blog). Well that's a good thing. At least I know I'm not writing for no one.
Anyway. The :o was for a few reasons. The first one was the one that I already stated. Let's move on to the others.
1. Thank God! Brandon is ok. What happened to him never should have happened but at least he is alright. He was back in school today with that Brandon "WTH" look on his face.
2. The news is getting on my nerves so much! I know I'm going to hear a few more times that Philadelphia schools need to stop with these school rivalries. But let's be clear. This had nothing to do with a rivalry and this was not a fight. It was an attack. The worst thing about this attack is that a) it happened to kids who were out trying to work on a project about promoting peace and b) it happened even after all the people who started to fight were told "these are not the guys." And who cares that Olivia Nutter (the Mayor's daughter) goes to our school. She probably has more security than any of the rest of us could ever get.
3. Maybe I over reacted. Maybe it's not as bad as I feel that it is. But I expected much more when I came into school today. I expected more of a chance to talk about it. I wasn't there but I still feel really sad. I don't have visions of Brandon falling to the ground but I will never forget the sadness that I saw in the eyes of the people that were there. I will never forget the craziness that ensued afterwards trying to get people home and now, I will never forget that I was never given the chance to get it out.
4. The AACC play though great disappointed me greatly because they did not introduce Ms. Judith Trustone and so people had no way of knowing that what she was saying was from her experiences with people who had gone through it and not her assumptions about a culture. And so some people were offended by her words not understanding that they were not actually her words they were either facts or they were messages that she was delivering from people who have not lost their voice but instead have had it stolen from them. Essentially some of what ways saying she was messages from people who had been convicted of a crime that was actually committed against them and some from people who now understand the error of their ways and wish they could go back and change their past. (Speaking of these people. I'm in love with this new movement. Though it is sad that it has to happen and I'm not sure that it will work. People who committed crimes and now will spend life trying to make meaning of it by deterring others from the destructive path they took in life.)
5. (not nearly as important as the other ones) I might be in a Math competion. If they need a 5th person then I'll do it. But if not oh well. If we won that'd be cool cause then I'd get $4,000.
I think that's all. Hope you all had a good day.

Goodbye.

No one reads this...
*IF YOU READ THIS COMMENT SO I KNOW THAT SOMEONE ACTUALLY CAME!!!*
-thanks
-thanks
But that doesn't matter. I will write on anyway. I'm sitting in government class and I am oh so bored. I look like I'm taking notes on the computer but I'm not, I'm sitting here blogging. I used to have a dream of becoming an MIT blogger but I don't blog enough for that nor do I want little MIT hopefuls from all around the work reading my thoughts. I just don't have anything that important to say. Though if I wrote things that people liked, I would become famous well sort of.
The rest of my year is pretty much blocked out. Some of the chunks are much larger than other's but still this is the way that it is.
MIT RA - March 15th
Senior Project paper - March 13th
Fin Aid - April 1st
CWP - April 10th
18th Birthday - April 30th
AP Gov test - May 5th
AP Comp Sci test - May 6th
AP Calc test - May 7th
AP Chemistry test - May 13th
Implementation of senior project - May 19th
Graduation - June 18th
Well that's about all. See you (which I guess is no one) later :D
