Febuary is dreadful.

I'm staying home from school today and I'm not sick. Now, you may be thinking, What badassery is this?

Essentially, I have something due for my (terrifying) English teacher that I have yet to complete, and am unsure if I could complete before D block.

Another thing is that I have to read 18 chapters of Great Expectations. Considering that I started reading that book in October and have yet to finish it, it seems like it will never go away. It will haunt me in my old age. I'm currently on chapter 42 and apparently it begins to pick up around chapter 47.Yeah. I hate whoever paid Dickens by word. 

Also, this entire week has been an increasingly awkward experience. I mean, the sex talk at youth group on Wednesday was a breeze compared to the other social interactions I've had this week.When you launch off a week with wallowing in your inevitable end as a cat lady, you'd think it would go uphill from there but this week proved me wrong.

There was that lady yesterday who did a presentation on career planning, or rather, "Why you should give up on your hopes and dreams now as opposed to later." My hopes and dreams blew away in the wind:

 Through this presentation, my classmates and I came to some conclusions:

• IB is a lot more pain than the actual benefits in the real world are worth.
• Aiming low is key. If you aim to stave for the rest of your life, your dreams have a lot of potential to go uphill.  
• Apparently joining the reserves is the key to all that is good. 

The only good thing this week was the coffee house last night. Everybody who played was quite fantastic, everything from satire reggae to a duet from Les Mis and everything in between. Adorable, eccentric musicians were adorable and eccentric.

So basically, today I didn't want to face the world so I stayed in bed for an extra hour and would rather interact with homework than people. I shall now resort to the healing powers of herbal tea, Coldplay and perhaps Netflix while I do homework.
Love,
-J-

(P.S.- here is a good Coldplay playlist on 8tracks.)
