So I'm back at school, and I should be studying right now but instead I decided to take a break and write for a little bit. There's something that has been bothering me lately and it's that I'm constantly studying. I realize that I am in school and that you are suppose to study in school, but it seems like that is all that I do, and it's getting really old really fast. I've never studied this much in my life! I decided that I was going to be an over achiever and take on a class load of 18 credits this semester... not a big deal, except that I have 2 upper level classes and a lower level class that require me to read anywhere from 50-100 pages a night. This may not sound like much but when you read at my pace it's a lot. If I am reading undistrubed for an hour I can read between 25 and 30 pages, depending on how complex the material is, therefore, if I have to read 50 pages, of easy material it will take me 2 hours (undisturbed). Okay, and that's all fine an dandy except the 3 classes that require the most reading from me, require complex reading from me.... so for me to read 100 pages it takes me approximately an hour and 1/2 to do so. Now multiply that by 3... 4 1/2 hours.... and take in to consideration that I easily get distracted (I think I'm ADD or something) it takes me 2-3 hours to complete one reading assignment. That's not enough time in my day!
UGH! well I have to get back to homework, as I feel that I may never finish it. Approx. 6 hours of reading left and I have class at 9 am.... it's 11:30... yeah I have to go.
NIGHT!

Movie Time
So I'm watching a movie about a teacher that changes the world. Or at least the lives of his students. It's the usual teacher movie. He wants to make a difference, goes to an inner city school, with students that don't want to be there and have better things to do, then raises there grades and makes them like to attend class.
In this case he starts teaching in a school in a small town in one of the Carolina's. While there he raises the students scores on standardized tests. He then decides that he needs to do more with his life. He moves to New York and looks for a job. While there he starts working at a restaurant and looks for a job. He finally finds a job teaching fifth grade students that are the students with the lowest test scores on their standardized tests. They treat him like poo and he just deals with it at first. He continues to work at the restaurant and meets a girl there. She is taken by a guy, but they "aren't living together".
He is also currently struggling with one student more than any other, and has one student that wants to be there, but is treated like a nobody both at school and by her family at home. There is are two boys that are separated from the class in that they doesn't participate and act like a hard asses, they also fight with each other.
He has currently left the class, given up on them, and walked out. When he does the girl from the restaurant sees him and talks to him about him leaving. They spend the rest of the day together and she shows him the city. Then she tells him he can't leave, that the kids depend on him.
Well we are now on a commercial break and I'm tired of relaying the movie. I also don't want to ruin the movie for those of you who have not watched it. So check out "The Ron Clark Story" and find out if my predictions do infact come true.

I have not yet seen the movie to the end and am writing this as I watch it, but I predict that he ends up with the girl from the restaurant.

I predict that the student he struggles with will be the one that is most passionate in his class and the leader. The boys will become friends, and the girl that likes his class will continue to be shy until the very last minute and then stand up to the class.

New Year - New Life!?!?
So I'm home for winter break and it's New Years. I've been in school for three semesters now and made lots of friends, I came back home and well, it's like I don't have friends anymore. I mean I do, but just like I made friends when I went to school, my friends had moved on, they have made new friends and even though we may still be friends we don't have anything to do with each other.
It's so odd coming home, because it's almost like I'm living a double life. I have my school friends and my home friends, my school activities and my home activities, my school life and my home life. They are so different.
At home I have my friends from high school. Some of them have not changed at all and some have changed so much. They have all made new friends with people that I don't know, and because we are friends they try to include me, but I feel so awkward, and so out of place, that I've started to turn down the invitations.
At school I hang with my girls, I always have someone to watch movies with, go to the club with, hang out with, party with, or even to just study with. When I don't have someone to hang with I have something else to do, studying or working, or things with the house, or even volunteering. But home there is nothing, especially during winter break because there is no homework for me to do. There are no clubs, no where to go, nothing. It is like I'm on an island secluded from everyone that I know and hang out with. I'm just stuck.
At school my life is social, interesting, and a learning experience. At home it is a boring, secluded, mind numbing experience, I become a couch potato. Don't get me wrong I love coming back and seeing my family, but I have friends at school that have developed into a family.
Well, I have to get back to being a boring couch potato, but I hope that you've enjoyed reading.
