"You know," my dad said the other day, "senior year is supposed to be easy."
"Well," I didn't say back to him, "I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOUR LIFE IS LIKE IN THAT PARALLEL DIMENSION."

I just feel like I'm drowning just at the moment. The thought of winter break in two weeks is more terrifying than tantalizing, because I know I have so fucking much to do between now and then. And I know that the moment this all ends, I'm going to collapse in the most epic illness known to man - I haven't been eating right, have barely gotten outside, have been getting six hours of sleep a night on the outside. The only consolation at the moment is all the fun I'm having ON THE INTERNETS.

Just...ughhhhgh. Winter break will be short, too. A week in Tucson, a week in Korea, two weeks in California, and then that's it. Spring semester's gonna be worse by far for me, too, because I'm getting a job (though only about a five hour a week job) and also, OH YEAH, LOL THESIS.

Dag.
Dag.

FUCK I STILL HAVEN'T ASKED MY TEACHERS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Hahaha, so glad I could break my several-week silence with this PHENOMENALLY PHENOMENAL UPDATE.

	Ugh, I feel you on this one. I'm also in my senior year right now, and I've got all this shit to do but HAVE LOST THE WILL TO DO ANYTHING. Meh. But you get to go to Korea. Lucky! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I think I am going to become a HOBO ON THE STREETS. Would you like to join me in becoming a HOBO ON THE STREETS? I will found a hobo city. I will call it CRACKTON. But god I'm turbo-psyched for Korea. I've never been to Asia before, so the new experience will almost - almost - make up for having to spend time with my jerkass sister.

	Well, I guess I'll come with you to Crackton, but I'd rather go to Korea :/ (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	hopechan 2008-12-07 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, gosh, I couldn't be a hobo in Korea. Seoul is way too expensive, from what I hear. Still, I'm glad you'll come to Crackton with me. ♥ It has some lovely parks and promenades. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	mrsvelvetears 2008-12-07 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	Okie dokie...I guess I'll go make reservations for a nice card board box in one of these beautiful promenades you speak of. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	hopechan 2008-12-07 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	No, no! I'm taking care of all details. I actually found a corrugated box, so, that's exciting! (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Winter's always a tough time for school, I think, no matter what level you're in. It is for me, anyway. But you'll get through it. But damn, you're going to Korea? That's-- should be interesting, anyway. Tell me how it is when you come back! And try to eat better; if you know you're going to get sick maybe you can stay it off. What job're you getting?

	cowboy_newsie 2008-12-07 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	As long as there's an interesting story. The hell with truth. And man, it's KOREA. There's no way there can't be an interesting story. Like, creative writing? Or English? And oh, don't worry, you can't do any worse than their teachers. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	hopechan 2008-12-07 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	I hope so. My sister has pledged to show us all the culture shockiest sites there are to see. And English. Mostly essays. Apparently, we will have an opportunity to do a bit of creative writing as sort of warm-up exercises and that sort of thing, which would be awesome. I'd love to be able to pass along my copious experience and solidly thought-out methods(?). (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	cowboy_newsie 2008-12-07 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	Ugh, god. Have fun. I personally despise writing essays, but that's just me. But ooh, I hope you do get to do a bit of creative writing, at least. Have you ever taught before? Shouldn't be too hard. You can pass on your vast vocabulary, too. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Hope you have fun during vacation at least! While I'm not suffering nearly the amount of stress you are, I definitely understand the feeling. I haven't asked my teachers for recommendations either. >.> (Reply to this) (Thread)

	hopechan 2008-12-07 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	I always feel so bad about putting off requesting recommendations, too! Even though they certainly don't need a full month to write them. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Wait, Korea? Okay. Don't forget to eat a french-fry-covered-corndog for me. Good luck with everything, what're you taking in the spring? (Reply to this)
