It is also the day before I'm supposed to sit in school and say, once and for all, what high school I'm going to. Julia, in the end, called it with her comment on my last high school post. My decision is now final, and I suppose it was then as well. Jasper Place, here I come! Rebel pride, people.
As scary as all this is, I'm happy to say that something came up last night which made me more comfortable about my decision, which is this; in 2005, Maclains magazine named Jasper Place high school as THE BEST FREAKING OVERALL HIGHSCHOOL IN CANADA! So hey, who can really blame me for going there?
So tonight, I'm sitting uneasily with my final decision seemingly made. In fact, I'm uneasy for a lot of reasons. First of all, I'm not sure I can fit in all of the options I want to take at JP without summer school. I want to take drama, because drama is super fun. I want to take creative writing, because I want to be proficient in this whole writing thing. And I also want to take French, because as much as I hate it I don't want to throw away nine years of study and it's also required if I want to take full IB, which I do. So I'll just have to figure that out when representatives from JP come to my school tomorrow to help the potential JP kids register.
Another reason why I'm stressed? We have a school play rehearsal tomorrow, which is rather intense because opening night is in less then a month. I also really should have tried to find more pieces to my costume tonight, and gone over the one or two lines that I always forget onstage.
Finally, I went out to a movie tonight and slacked off on one or two pieces of (albeit non-essential) homework, which hopefully won't get me in trouble tomorrow. I had a bit of a "meh" moment in that aspect, due to the fact that A. I couldn't really do that last bit of homework without getting stink eye from the parents, B. It's late and I don't feel like working late into the night again, and C. It all seems slightly pointless, as not only is the material useless but much of it I already know and I've already got e marks I need to get into the top classes in high school.
Combine all of this with a weekend of time-wasting, and you get one rather down, rather tired looking boy who doesn't even have time to edit this post or last nights post do to the fact that it's now three minutes to ten. Yes, it's a rather blue scene over at my end. Tomorrow is looming large and intimidating, and you know what makes it all the more depressing? I'll have to face it on less then seven and a half hours of sleep.
Thanks for reading,
