Intentio Vestri Posterus

Alright, so it's the middle of Planning Your Future, and we're "taking notes." This is the official blow-off class of Mason High School, for all of you who weren't aware of that. The odd thing about this pointless class? It's required! Well, one thing I've noticed that isn't so necessary in this class is taking notes. I did pretty damn well on my test without taking notes (even better than some who actually did,) and so Note Time has always been Nap Time. (Alliteration!) Why am I writing this, then, you ask? I got 12 hours of sleep last night. On top of that, I took one of those B-Vitamin pills that Lee suggested. They're supposed to give you more energy, keep you awake, or something silly like that. (EDIT: The bottle actually says it lowers the body's response to stress. Close enough.) Well, apparently, they work. I'm not tired. I'm yawning and my eyes want to close, but I'm just not really tired and I don't want to sleep. I think my body is just attempting to resist this whole "being awake" thing. Odd concept for me. I like my sleep, hence the 12 hours I achieved last night. SO! I decided to write out something that could be put into my first real blog, or simply kept in this notebook, never to be looked at again. Depressing, no? No. It's not. "What? I don't get it," may be your mindsponse. (Mind response. Mindsponse. Tell your friends.) Well, why would I be depressed over something as simple and meaningless to me as a little addition to my notebook? It wouldn't make any sense to allow that to upset me. That's just crazy. Allowing anything to depress you is crazy, really. Now, I know we aren't made of stone; we all have our days where nothing seems to go right. (I'm actually made of pure steel.) BUT! Why let every day be one of those days? We shouldn't. No one should ever accept unhappiness. It's not worth it. It's not beneficial in any way. You don't get paid to be depressed, you don't make more friends by being unrelentlessly sad. Be happy.
Anyway, quick break. The good thing about this class is that we get to watch The Office. ALL THE TIME!
Respect Gained: Michael (Steve Carell) understands, accepts, and adheres to the correct rules to "Shotgun." He even took the time out of his day to explain them. I've developed a strong love for this show. I'm downloading it. All of it.
