I have not written in what, a week? Well anyways, it is finally Winter Break! I'm so happy. Just to clear everything up, I was failing my computer class, but I brought my grade up pretty well. Of course, the best I am really hoping for is perhaps a C+? I would be amazed if I got higher, and infinitely grateful as well.
I finished 1984! I do not want to spoil it for anyone so I can't say anything about the ending though. Let it suffice that it is an amazing book, and an amazingly depressing one as well.
Today, the weather was awful, but my dad obliged and drove me to take a test so I could get my learner's permit. I can legally drive as long as someone over the age of twenty-one is with me!
I have been having major sleep problems this past week and a half or so. My personal problems have all been fixed, so much as problems can be, so I do not know what is keeping me up. I hope this break will let me sleep. Merry Christmas, or happy holidays!

The Equally As Unread Second Post
Oh, my gosh. I know I should have read this book earlier, but I've just started 1984 (by George Orwell, for those who are as clueless as I am. Of course, George Orwell is just a pseudonym of Eric Blair). It's like all of my fears materializing in print form only to take shape in my terrified imagination. It's horrifying, the concept of losing freedom, having everything monitored by the government, all of your communications snooped on... Oh, wait. Nevermind.
This won't come as news to a lot of people, but The Decemberists are an amazing band. But, hey, if we're going to start talking music, I'll never pass up a chance to mention that System of a Down is ultimate win-sauce when it comes to bands. I must warn you that The Decemberists would probably appeal to more people, though. I've never understood why people don't like metal.
I'd like to pretend that this blog could perchance let on some deep understanding of the universe to everyone, but unfortunately my deepest thought during the day generally runs along the lines of "OH-EHM-GEE, that guy, his hair is ah-DORABLE! And, eeek! He's looking at me!" Because, you know, that's obviously all teenage girls ever think about. Although I do actually know a guy whose hair gives me a similar reaction, but nevertheless! I will spare you my ogling details.
