Yeah, it's been a while, but I'll try my best to catch y'all up (of course no one's probably reading this so I'm talking to myself and may be crazy but, oh well! That's life).
So, since we last spoke, my mother tried to force me into the military. Isn't that ironic considering the comic that is in my last post? So, after being bullied and talked to for an two in a half hours by my mother and army reserves recruiter respectively, I finally consented to taking the ASVAB. That test is almost as bad as the freaking SATs. I got my results and the nice Sargent Soles came back to my house with his boss, Sargent Long, to talk to me about joining because, apparently, I got a really good score--an 88. They said I could go into the reserves with the 3x5 program which is where it's three years active reserves and 5 years inactive and I could do a split-training which would be super good because my college is just about paid for. Unfortunately, Sargent Soles called me and said that he and Long had been wrong and I can't do the split-training with the 3x5. So even though I was thinking about it before (with the split-training 3x5), it's basically a no-thank-you type of deal now.
My mother's freaking out about it because I don't want to join. She says it's a really good deal but she's forgetting that it's my life and not hers. She's just gonna have to live with it that I, at least, am not going into the military. Mimi on the other hand, is thinking about it considerably.
I'm kind of freaking out right now. Not because of the whole forcing me into the army thing, but about the crap they're throwing at us in school. APUSH is relatively east, but I now have a thesis to write and a minimum wage project to do. Oh yeah, and I have to finish the community service project. How freaking annoying!
My thesis is probably the worse. Because I'm in AP English, it has to literary in nature. I'm doing Holden Caulfield's morality. It seemed interesting at the time and still sort of is but I just don't want to do it, and I have to. Ten pages double-spaced with at least 5 sources. I now that it's not that bad, but it still sucks.
I'm gonna go now. Oh! If any one is reading this, then here is an awesome Brit singer guy: Patrick Wolf. I have "The Magic Position" and it's really cool. It's a cross between the 60s and 80s music. So there, there's my musical advice for the day.
