The first week of school is done and over with. YAY! This week was the longest week ever!!! I am taking Biology. It is so hard. Because I am taking a whole year of biology in 6 weeks, it is 4 ½ hours a day, and it is FAST paced. This week I took 2 unit tests, and 12 quizzes. For my weekend homework I have to read a little over 100 pages of pure freaking biology! I mean 100 pages isn't bad if it is Twilight, or any Sarah Dessen book. J Ahh… The things crazy people do to get ahead in school. Lol. Okay, so who read the first chapter of Breaking Dawn last Saturday??!!?! I DID! It was so freaking awesome! Well, I kind of expected it but…what can I say, in my world everything Twilight is freaking AWESOME! Wow. I am using the word "freaking" a lot. I better stop that.
According to dictionary.com "potentate" is the word of the day.
potentate \POH-tuhn-tayt\, noun:
One who possesses great power or sway; a ruler, sovereign, or monarch.
The shah of Persia, although he had to acknowledge that the sultan was a worthy rival, still considered himself a mighty potentate, as did the sultan himself.
-- Olivier Bernier, The World in 1800
WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN? Everyone gets a stupid day, today is mine. Haha. So if you understand it…tell me.
AHhhhhhhhh…… Including today, 6 days until my birthday!!!! YAY!!!
Words of wisdom for today: (or 11 rules of life. Lol. I love reading these!!!)
Rule 1: Life is not fair -- get used to it!
Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping -- they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
WOW! This is a long post. TTYL!
