Its been a while since we've had a free write. So, the Great Gatsby is coming out tonight and I cannot wait for it. There is something to love about the 1920's time period. I'm hoping to see the movie tomorrow night but most likely will have to wait until next weekend at the soonest. Also, I don't know if its just the fact summer is almost here but I'm growing more tired of school. At this point it would probably make more sense for me to join the armed forces or something than continue going right now. I'm not focused, my current job is 'pool cashier' and and armed forces job could open up opportunities for me later on down the line just as much as going to school to become a teacher. Either way I go with this I won't be entirely satisfied since I'll most likely have to move since I'll probably choose the Navy if I do quit. I'm just not ready to leave Springfield. Fortunately I'm thinking of this now and have all summer to make a decision. Moving on, the NBA playoffs are here and going great. I was pleased to see the Chicago Bulls open the second round by beating the feared Miami Heat. right now the Pacers and Knicks are playing and I have the winner of that series beating the Heat who are predicted to win it all again.

Well Tuesday I was hired by the parkboard and consequently I am in a much better mood about things today. Basically now I feel as if I just need to pass my classes this semester to finish strong and "enjoy" working at the pool this summer. This summer is going to be great now that I have a job and am playing basketball. While last summer all of my friends were kind of from the basketball/track team I'll be able to diversify and have friends from work as well. To someone like me thats important because I can get tired of some people quickly. Another thing I can't wait for this summer is the NBA draft. My favorite team is doing poorly again so they should have a good pick in the draft. I'm really hoping for Nerlens Noel or Otto Porter, but i guess the team could settle for a player like Shabazz Muhammad. All in all school is stressful for me and this summer is going to be great.

Today is stupid. I ended up sleeping in an extra hour this morning which screwed everything up. I had to get ready in ten minutes this morning and ask my ride to wait that extra ten minutes. I'm glad my job interview is in the afternoon and not this morning because I would have been late to it AND been a bear. Normally I here early for class which some teachers never seem to truely appreciate. I keep having this dream too about people/a person from middle school that I never really talked to and am now kind of wishing I did. I won't get into that too much considering I just mentioned it because I needed something to write. I honsestly don't have much to say right now other than I'm tired and cranky and have unimportant things on my mind.

My goodness the last few days have been worrysome. Its started on friday when I was waken up by a call from school saying I should drop one of my classes or risk failing it. This especially frustrates me because all I did is not study for one of two tests and now I'm risking my GPA. I've done the math since and have learned that if I do okay on the next three tests I can squeak by with a C.... I'll try for the B from now on. After that this one girl who I barely know took a liking to me on saturday and texted my phone into oblivion. To sum it up there; she's weird. Things were starting to get a lot smoother though when I went to pizza inn with my parents on sunday night and I saw my church friends there. We talked for a short time then I went back to my parents table and was ready to devoure out pizza. I didn't get very far when a old friend who I'd had a falling out with messaged me and appolgized. I don't know what sparked that but I can't complain though it did take away my appetite at the time. Since then I've been reunited with another friend and am also playing basketball on a team this summer. All in all I had a lot to think about this weekend. It may have been little things, but to a freshmen they're not that little. Now all I have to do is worry about my grades... Oh goodness my grades.
