a breath and zone out, then when you're         iii) Ashley

done you can be proud

c) smash things   

(ANSWERS: a-ii, b-iii, c-i, and okay, maybe "smash things" wasn't directed specifically towards me...my ap euro teacher was just advising everyone to shoot trees or cans or the occasional squirrel...and to smash things, like vegetables or printers. because it feels good.)

ashley wanted to know why i looked to miserable in the hallway of school. i believe the latter part of that sentence speaks for itself.  it's going to be tough.  i'm just keeping my head down and doing my work, i guess.

as for teachers, my photo teacher is drab and ordinary, but i'm going to try not to let the class restrict me.  my ap euro teacher is hilarious, a prideful southerner ("you yankees burned all of our tobacco and forced us to smoke weed! you took all of our pretty girls so we had to have sex with our ugly cousins!")...he thought my name (mary jane) was very southern, and was convinced that my parents got it on to gone with the wind, then decided to name me mary jane. the fact that he curses loosely for humor was definitely appealing to a class full of sixteen year olds. i don't have much to say about my ap english language teacher.  she's fairly strict and lame, but i will probably improve my writing significantly.  i also have a new math teacher who just graduated from lehigh and is sort of a bro, slightly attractive. hahaha. i'm definitely amused.  he's so eager.

new school policy that makes it a nuisance to go to the bathroom, so i'm probably going to piss myself sometime, especially since i drink so much water to stay hydrated for cross country. one day i must have peed 20 times, no exaggeration.

in conclusion, i suppose i am being pessimistic...apathetic at best.  it won't be good, but it will be okay.
