Four weeks of inspiration (part 1)

Week one:
Be yourself because you want people to like you for you. You don't want people liking you because you're supposedly "that" when you're really not.

Week two:

Believe in the practical things in life, the imaginary unrealistic explanations, or believe in a combination of both.

Chanson de lycée

(Skip to 1:02 if you want to start hearing the song.) 

Lyrics:

Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore...
oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh
oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh

This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style

And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I? mmm... mmm...

Well, some nights, I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights, I always win, I always win...

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know... (come on)

So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?

No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON!

Well, this is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
But when I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible lies...ahhh...

oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh
oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh

The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...

It kind of reminds me of high school...

The official pros and cons list of my school, created by moi

This isn't the complete list considering that it has only been three weeks of school, however it's just some of the 'small' things that I like and don't like about my school. 

Cons:

• The inside school temperature is messed up. When it’s hot outside, it’s hot inside, when it’s cold outside it is cold inside. Thankfully, the school isn’t as hot as it was at the beginning of the school year, for three days straight the SBOs (Student Body Officers) gave nearly everyone free, cold, refreshing, bottled water. There were fans blowing loudly in the hallways as well as water cups around the school. In fact, my school was mentioned in a newspaper because it was so hot and it probably had affected some students somehow. Thankfully, the school is finally getting an air conditioner that will be available in four to eight weeks. However, by then the outside temp. would be cold and it would be kind of useless to have the air conditioning on when it's already cold outside. 
• It starts too early in the day (around 7:30 AM), meaning that I have to wake up really early (roughly between 5:30 – 5:40 AM) just to get ready and catch the bus that arrives around 6:40 something.
• There’s too much homework. Math, History, Biology, Graphics, and just about nearly every other class I have.
• Studying, there’s going to be a lot of it if I’m expected to pass this year.
• The cafeteria food isn’t that good, and there’s no more juice, just milk and I don’t like drinking school milk.
• The hallways are slightly confusing. The second and third floors is literally a square with classrooms everywhere and it doesn’t help that the classroom numbers don’t have a pattern themselves other than big numbers are on one side of the square and little numbers are on the other side.
• My locker is still stuck despite asking the school to fix it for me a couple of times.
• I feel lonely in some of my classes despite having some friends in that class but not in this class. 
• Too many textbooks to carry to class, (I would have put them in my locker but it’s going to take a long while before a custodian will actually fix my locker.) 

Pros:

• My locker (despite being stuck) is near the library.
• I get out of school early (around 2:10 PM).
• On Mondays, the school day officially starts at around 8:30 AM. However, it will be kind of useless to me, considering that I still have to take the bus - especially during the wintertime - at around 6:40 (5?) ish. But, I guess I have more free time to do some homework and possibly sleep at a table in the back of the school library, or just go on the computer and try to get onto blogger. 
• I feel a bit smarter than some people do in my class. (Sorry, for feeling so braggy but it’s true.)
• I get to make t-shirts, stickers, and other stuff this semester.
• I have the option of going to any of the restaurants/ fast food joints in my town for lunch. However, I have only half an hour or so to do that and I don’t have a car to go anywhere, though my friend is getting her driver’s license this month...
• I’m only a ten minutes or so walk from the public library which has real air conditioning. Meaning that I won’t be late at returning my books there again, (that is if I will remember them in the future).

 (Inspirational Monday posts will be posted on Monday, if I don't forget.)

I never really realized how much I depended on the internet till now...

My internet connection broke last week and it wasn't till now, that it finally got fixed. During the week I also had lots of homework to do as well as some critical reading to do. Also, during the time of no internet, I read  some books that aren't for school.

It was fun but it also sucked a bit. By now, I'm starting to realize how much I need the internet. Need to do some research especially for school? The internet is right there to help me get started. Need to listen to some french music for fun (don't ask why, I just sometimes do it)? The internet is right there. Without it, let's just say life would be a teensy bit harder (especially school).

Also, I'll try to post regularly from now on, but it isn't a promise considering the amount of schoolwork I have and will receive in the future.

Now here's a song that's in french.
