Summer

The summer life is grand. Few responsibilities, lots of sleeping, and hardly a moment away from social activity. I am enjoying every minute of it. These next two months will continue the awesomeness of June.

Priorities Suck

“I don’t want to think anymore.”

“Then don’t.”

“But I should.”

“Then do.”

“But I don’t want to!”

“You can’t do both—you have to make a choice.”

“But I don’t know! They conflict each other…”

“Which is more important—what you want to do, or what you should do.”

“I don’t know. That’s a hard decision.”

“You just have to set your priorities in life, I guess.”

“Priorities suck.”

Sick of following my dreams

AP Tests

So my AP tests are next week, and I am mostly unprepared. I am studying and studying, but my teachers keep slapping me in the face with things that I didn’t even think about white studying. I should have started doing this a month ago. I know I will do okay on most of them, but I really would like to do well. Hopefully I can pull a 5 in Java, a 4 in US History, and I will be happy for a 3 or 4 in Calculus AB, but I am expecting a 2, unfortunately. Good thing there is next year for Calculus BC. We’ll see what happens.

Assume the worse, but only because then the night can only get better,

Spring Break

JD Hartley — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 02:27:30 +0000

Spring break has come to a halting stop, and we the students have been thrown back into the crazy world of learning. I enjoyed my spring break very, very much and am looking forward to a wonderful summer break. I am hoping the rest of Junior year (also known as the worst year of high school) has a smooth conclusion to the so far bumpy semester.

Thank you to my friends that made my time off so enjoyable. I hope I contributed to your break’s enjoyability as well.

Friendship

New People

Getting to know people is such an awe inspiring and amazing experience. Too bad it eventually ends, and there is no way for you to repeat it over and over.

Sunsets

I watched the sunset tonight with a group of friends. It was really amazing and a blast. Just something unique about watching the sun beneath the trees is just completely moving and exciting. Hoping I can do it again sometime.
