Summer School
It finally ENDED. Finally! I can get some sleep. I'm psyched about Drill Team's last beach trip tomorrow too...Anyways...No more 4-hour classes in the morning, no more long-ass homework, & definitely no more annoying teachers. I hope you enjoy what's left of summer. Four more weeks left & then it's back-to-school. So have fun while you can & make what's left of summer count. And hey...

Choices
"The consequences of every act are included in the act itself." ~George Orwell, 1984
That is so TRUE. No matter how GOOD or how BAD an event is, there's always this aftershock. Whether you cheat on a test or have sex while you're fifteen, there's another event that happens when the present one passes. You might get an STD, you might get raped, you might get pregnant (if you're a girl), or nothing might happen to you. It's like you go on one road & that road branches off into more roads. Some are dirty, some are clean, some lead to nowhere. The key is to make the right choice, whatever that is. That's because there is NO right choice. You either do it one way or you do it the other. Or the other other...Sometimes the "right" choice just comes to you like an instinct. It's plain & simple. In this thing called "life," just do the THINKING before the ACTING. You might just actually get somewhere.

Earthquakes
One happened today. But I guess you already knew that. It was a 5.4 on the Richter scale, but we just felt one of its aftershock. The strongest had a magnitude of 3.6.
It was sort of funny, though. Our Chemistry teacher started panicking majorly. Is "majorly" even a word? Hmm...Anyways, when we were under our desks, we just started cracking up for some unknown reason. But our teacher looked like he was about to pee his pants. I think he DID. After the quake passed, he called the main office & they said we had to evacuate the whole building pronto.
We evacuated the building & went to the baseball diamond. I brought 1984 with me outside. The book was alright. I mean I was still at the beginning, so I wouldn't really know. Most people brought their cell phones and they called their parents to let them know they were alright. I, too, had the urge to call someone. But I forgot my cell phone at home. Took me a while to figure THAT out (I'm actually exaggerating).
The parents on the phone were talking crazy, though. For example, Andrew's mom asked him if he was dead. Hello?! Excuse me, but if your son was dead, he wouldn't be speaking to you, now would he? But I guess you're a parent & obviusly that's how worried parents sound like. So props, Andrew's mom.
I hope that no one you knew was injured or anything like that. The media reported no acccounts of injury, but you can't be too sure of that now, can you?

Random
This is the definition of my blog. Hello, blog. In this blog, you'll read about things you want to know, things you didn't want to know, & things you'll NEVER know. I'll talk about random stuff. Like People. Objects. Places. Events. Animals. Words. Nouns. This blog is about ME. This blog is about YOU. This blog is about EVERYONE & EVERYTHING ON THIS PLANET WE CALL "EARTH." Or it's mostly about what happens in GLENDALE. Heck, who cares? Guess you'll have to wait and see...
