All the things i learned in high school

Writing for Publications has taught me something

that i might at some point hate writing

ok besides the obvious

that you have to have a good interview to have good info

that a good interview isn't good enough

that you need a full investigation

that includes good interviews of other reliable sources (family, friends, acquaintances, etc.)

that in order you have to have a good story, you must run around to find those interviewees

that in other words, that "run around" will be so mentally tiring that it would make track and field a light morning jog

in other words, you can't be successful without hard work

i know it's a worn out cliche but the meaning itself was like a being awoken by being hit in the face

an ear splitting slap that made me wake up from a hazy dream called "middle school"

even though in middle school i thought i had already gotten that slap from "elementary school"

not that the hard stuff has started yet

but it is to come....eventually.......

writing for publications also made me fall in love with blogging all over again

because in blogging i can complain, i can write better since there is no teacher breathing down the back of my neck to tell me to hurry up

and i can write anything that i want

thank god...to whoever made the internet

math is always the same

i nearly fall asleep during every period and only getting up to take notes

except i cant do that more often now...cuz now the teacher calls on people...even if they are sitting in the back...and in the corner

my biology teacher's last name rhymes with her first name...so nobody calls her by Mrs... not to her face of course

i wonder if she realizes that....

i bet she does

the schools reputation of high standards for academics are settling in now that we had our first batch tests.

at least that was for me

i think it settled in a long time ago now that i realized a lot of people had taken principles of business.

it's amazing to see people focusing so much of their energy to academics....only to refuel then accelerate during summer

i say "accelerate" because at that time, nobody knows how far the others went ahead in the textbooks to get in front of everyone else. so they try really hard...just in case

many people i met actually came from private schools to go to public schools to get out of the same group of nerdy people to an environment with a variety of people - like the real world

after that speech

i dared not tell them that they have gotten out of a batch of nerds - only to jump in another batch of nerds

o well, they'll see....i'll let them have the full learning experience

which is an euphemism for a cut that will only turn into a permanent scar, a lesson learned

which is an euphemism for a complete shocker

sorry if i used to many metaphors

i was up all night doing writing for pub homework

what the most useful thing about my second week of high school was my planner

what the stressful thing was that i kept on losing my Target bag with all my swimming material

what the most interesting thing i found out as i am writing this

is that my life is like any other person

that i found out during high school too

full of stupid mistakes, to be forgotten mishaps and bland morning cereal that tastes like boredom

if life is going to be like this

i might as well make it as interesting as possible

by writing

although something does happen once in a while

i wonder if this is a typical writer's life

so bored that you have to make up interesting things inside your head

that applies to fiction at least

these are all the things i learned in high school...and it's only the 2nd week
