Busy-ness

School is going well (overload of the homework, but who doesn't have one?) and now there is a whole new element to keep me busy. Clubs! Thanks to bright signs and free candy, I am now a part of the school newspaper, the school art magazine, and the forensics team. No, not like CSI. The speaking kind. On top of that, there is the looming sharp-dressed specter of homecoming overhead like a large fly, but with a helicopter engine and an eighty foot neon sign on its back (don't ask me how it holds it up, it just does). Oh yes, and stage crew. We build the beautiful sets, paint pretty pictures, play wiht power tools, and fight an urge to make the stage rickety so the 'thespians' will 'lose their balance'. All in all, with all this big stuff to sweat, the little stuff isn't making it past my Speedstick.

Here's To You, Astro

Today I came home to find my pet rabbit of 7 years dead. He was the best pet I have ever had and likely ever will. He was the best listener, the best company, and a friendly cuddle for a sour mood. This may sound cliche (O.K., it is cliche) but make the most of life because you really don't know how long you have. He was a great friend and now I'll never again be able to walk into my room with a friendly 'Hey Bun!' and have him perk right up to greet me. So many memories, so much to look back on. So here's to you, Astro 'The Wonder Bunny' Morgan, March 2, 2000- September 21, 2009. Bye Bunners.

Here We Go Again.....

September is here once again. To most of the world, it's just the first month of fall and the last barbecue times of the year. For students globe-wide (myself included) it means another year of (drumroll please) SCHOOL. Ah yes. We all know the 'S' word. Nine months of boring classes, hard tests, mean teachers, report cards, cafeteria 'food' and judgements all around (by lookish teens and bookish teachers). But as dreadful as the last statement sounds, school is , unbelievably to some, not all bad. It is the source of a valuable (no matter how unwanted) education and the foundation of some of the first and strongest friendships in one's life. So to all those bound to school this year, buck up and buckle down, because if you make good friends and get good grades, you will be far better off in the long run. Now I'm off to school for the next nine months, but I'll keep in touch, y'all.
