I’ll arrest myself, I’ll wear a shield
Megan went off to band camp early this morning. She was crying when I said good bye to her, and I guess my mom said she cried the whole ride there too. I feel…well, bad for her. I know “bad” isn’t a specific mood or word, but I really do feel bad for her. A friend of mine that’s up there said it’s exhausting work, and that already twenty of the freshmen have “fallen like flies” from the sun. I think she’ll end up having fun though, they do a bunch of activities. I hope she ends up having fun.
As for the rest of my day, I didn’t really do too much worth blogging about. Aside from having every person I barely talk to comment my status on facebook, and taking walks with my mom and dog, I actually started working on AP Psych homework. I say started because I really didn’t work too deep into the study guide or vocabulary. My mom said I can’t use the exuse of refusing to learn this information because it’s pointless in real life (like half of the formulas I was forced to suffer through in Algebra 2), but the questions the study guide inquired about range from ridiculous to…weird. You’re deeply concered for your friend, and although she insists she is fine, you don’t believe so. She is obsessed with pulling out all the electrical cords before leaving her house, including the television and phone. You are concerned for her because his is an example of: atypical behavior and failing to follow cultural norms. (Yes, that really was the answer…or what I bubbled in anyhow.) But I can gaurantee that nobody actually talks like that way in real life. “I’m really worried about you. The way you act OCD and obsess over yanking out everything plugged into an outlet scares me, because it’s atypical behavoir and breaks our cultural norms.” All I can say is, AP Psych convinces me more and more each time I crack that book and study guide open to go into the English field after high school. So many people tell me that I have time to get a definite feeling about choosing either psychology or English, but I don’t think I could handle the science aspect of psychology. I’ll stick with my books and creative writing.
