What's that? I'm a day past my normal updating schedule? Pfft. Who am I even talking to? I have no following.
Despite my frequent desire to take a nap as soon as I return from school, my routine is becoming manageable. In my opinion, high school was extremely over-hyped by my middle school; they made it sound as though we'd spend every spare moment studying and never focus on anything but academics. In actuality, it's not that different: just a bigger campus.
And now for something completely different:
I live in the Chicago suburbs, and lately our weather's been WEIRD. It got into fall, got cooler way faster than it usually does, and then the storms started. No thunder or lightning, just tons of rain and violent wind. Not ten minutes ago it started pouring, the branches of trees started whipping about, and then, just like that: it was over. A couple of nights, the power's even flickered on and off, which is a pain in the ass. Allow me to explain:
This summer was filled with thunderstorms, several of them every week for about a month and a half. Our power went out three or four times, but not just the little flickers that happen only for a few minutes. No, each time, the power went out for at LEAST three days. It sucked. Y'know how when you're younger (and even after that), power outages are kind of cool? It's fun to "fend for yourself" without electricity...for a while. But, after this summer, the very thought of an outage makes me want to dismantle something, mostly because it always shows me how shallow and pathetic our society (including myself) is when faced with the lack of electricity.
But, anyway, nothing that bad's happened yet.
