In which there is no mention of snails.
Well, when you're in high school, you don't really think about it much, but.. Lately it seems like I'm doing a million things at once, and my parents have actually been asking me how I'm handling it all. Most of the time I usually don't do anything. (I'm not sleeping, but I'm also not working as hard as I could have. It's really sad, but it counter balances itself, I guess? In fact, I'm up to work on a medical research paper on the history of lung cancer.. no sleep for me as long as the internet is so distracting, huh?)
I guess it's just this time of year. During the fall, for the most part, I'm pretty unmotivated and I don't like to do a lot. I get home, exhausted, and I fall straight asleep. It's pretty much like that during the winter too. But, hell, bring me spring, and I'm tackling a seventy-page packet on human anatomy, the research paper on lung cancer, another research paper on America's medical advances during WWI & WWII, yet another fifty or so page packet going into the specifics of the skeletal system, and studying for a test. When I write it, it looks like a hell of a lot, and really I'm just a lazy slacker. I usually get in somewhere like the 98th% percentile of placement tests, but.. smarts don't mean shit if you're not going to apply yourself, which I usually don't do.
For the longest time, I've had no real idea what I wanted to do. Maybe I still don't, and maybe what I want to do will change, but as of right now I'd like to be a teacher. I had a hard time in school, especially middle school, because the work was really boring. Just.. SO BORING. And when I bothered to pay attention, I did learn and I didn't do too bad. But I've got huge gaps from my middle school curriculum because of my lack of attention and the fact I've the immune system of a dead horse. I'd like to be able to help someone by giving them a decent chance to learn things like that, even kids who get sick as much as I do or more often, or kids that are smarter than me but just don't care.
Kids aren't bad, too. I mean, some of them can be annoying, but really only the ones that punch me in the legs or, god forbid, in the general crotch area. I've thought about it, and I guess having one wouldn't be too bad. I'd be okay with being a single parent, or a married to someone great, I'd just really like to be able to make someone happier than my parents made me. I love my parents, I do, but I don't want to raise a child in a fear-based environment.
