Well today our midterm examinations at school started. The realization is both sad and grateful. I'm grateful that there will hopefully be no more exams in my high school career. However, I'm also sad because I'm closing a thick chapter in my life, and even though my high school years haven't been great, there are still precious memories held within them. The morning turned out to be kind of bad, I didn't perform up to my abilities on my AP Calc exam and it had me worried sick up until I took the physics honors exam, which I found to be relatively easy. After school I hung around and talked to various people. I now realize how tight Ron and I are. Even though I can't tell him everything, we are still really good friends which is cool. The only thing that prohibits our friendship from growing is the fact that he is not allowed to go out much. Ron and I went for lunch and then he took me back to my car. I had to be at work @ 3 so I went home and released some hormones while thinking about you know who, whom I got a good look at today. Then I had to run downtown @ 2 to pick up the christmas presents for mom and dad. Later in the night, instead of studying, I talked on the phone with cathy. I think I should stop discussing with her thoughts about possible relationships I might get involved in...it seems as though she gets jealous and then tried to say bad things about the other girls to get me to dislike them. Oh well, I'm gonna have to prove her that this one, she will not be able to lure me away from. I would end here but I want to add the fact that my moms diary gave me another good idea tonight. The first idea was that I start keeping this journal, but tonights great idea has to do with me being a more postive person. In her diary my mom listed 93 things that she was grateful for. When I have time, I'm going to try to list at least 50...maybe it will help me become a better person.
