    Waa, I have to go back to school tomorrow.

    But actually, I’m kinda glad. This winter break has made me listless.

    I’m just not glad about the homework I still have to do.

    Man, I’m so oddly overwhelmed today.

    I don’t know why I’m up at 2am when I have to get up for school in 4 hours. 4 hours of sleep isn’t going to be real helpful for my presentations and quizzes and tournaments tomorrow.

    Wow, so much good stuff today.

    I haven’t even started my homework, and I’m not that motivated to do so right now.

    Also, I got my National Merit semifinalist notification today. Quick meeting and congratulations with the Principal and 12 other kids in my class (of 1000).

    OMFG

    5’s on all three APs and first time getting a 5 at all. Such a relief since I thought I totally screwed up my AP English essays. Cannot believe my eyes!

    Ahh! So much work to do for tomorrow!

    And not a single thing is mundane enough to skip. I’m most likely the only person taking a combination of Psych, Calc, APUSH, and German, so I’ll be alone tomorrow suffering in my overload.

    I haven’t opened my web browser at all today, and even with that I probably have to cut sleep to 4 hours and sacrifice lunch tomorrow to get everything done. No way that’s going to happen with a Psych test, Calculus final, and APUSH debate all happening tomorrow. This is a legit FML situation.

    This week = The pinnacle of my Junior year

    Life has never been in such disarray.

    Corporate America, corporate schools?

    Earlier this year, we wrote a practice argumentative essay in AP English about whether or not schools should invite corporate sponsorship to make up for budget shortfalls. I argued yes. It seemed like an easier argument.

    Now, my school is actually starting to accept corporate sponsors, and I’m not liking it so much. The first big sponsor was Nike. They gave our track team some free swag and hosted publicity events like a Nike iD shoe designing contest. During one of our gym classes, they came and did a big hoopla presentation about its innovative footwear technology.

    I didn’t buy none of it. Firstly, I’m an Adidas guy, through and through. And secondly, technology and footwear is a joke! Footwear is all about style and marketing. That’s it, it’s a fashion statement. Whatever technological advancement you do in shoes.. I’m sure it cost a lot and your engineers worked hard, but it’s minute and insignificant. You aren’t going to run much faster by wearing the newest Adidas Fluid Motion trainers than if you used a model from the 70s. Technology may be your marketing push, but I don’t buy any of it.

    Then came Dunkin’ Donuts. They weren’t just sponsoring, they went one step further. Dunkin’ now sells fresh coffee at our school three mornings a week. And they took their famous tagline to our school, Neekwah Runs On Dunkin’ (of course I didn’t use my real school name so people don’t find me). See, I have nothing against Dunkin’, but I live caffeine-free and I’d rather others do to. Now they have quick and cheap coffee at their disposal. Ah.. the wonders of corporate America.
