For some reason I've been doing these mindless, busy, but enjoyable tasks ever since I got home. School was easy, seeing as I went to only 1st and last block...excersised my okayed absence to the point of playing a little harmless hookie. I get out of my appointment an hour before I'm supposed to meet the choir. Instead of going back for lunch, I spent my last 4 dollars on a sandwich and juice. I drive to one of the parks and sit in my car, eating my sandwich, reading and listening to MPR for about an hour or more. I needed that bit of solitute and escape from the institution which normally grates on my nerves and well-being by this time of year.

I spend my free time after my run working on A's present. I do spend some time working on my graduation invitations...but my last 2 questions on my pop culture worksheet and studing for my photography quiz have yet to be completed. Oddly enough I'm moving into my summer mode hours, but I seem to be able to rise with the sun without too much trouble. How long will that last? But I have energy now, which is what is important.

Sociology was interesting today as we spent the last half of the block discussing our parenting techniques. After the discussion in purely hypothetical terms, I realize my parents are rather lenient. Supposing your 15 year old daughter wants to date a junior in high school, would you let her? "no way" hehe, I did that. Supposing your 15 year old son wants to date someone older....a soph dating a senior....well, that would be my current situation except A is 17 and now I'm still 17. I express this to mom who replies this just seems extreme because of the hypothetical. In reality I'm not a bad kid who abuses priviledges. The least I do is bend curfew slightly. Besides, it makes you wonder what some of my classmates have done to want to punish their future children so severely.

Why do I feel as if I have all these little things creeping up on me and I don't have time to finish them? Not sure how to explain that...but I'm sure I'll manage.
