Let's see here. I think I'll try out this
day log thingie here. Ever heard of
In Strict Confidence? Their song
Industrial Love is playing...
Anyways, I still have those two
editorials to write. One of them being on the security preparations at the
2002 Olympics in
Salt Lake City. I'm trying desperately to avoid using any and all references to...
that date. I try to avoid it for the same reasons I'm getting annoyed by the countless
flag-waving bastards mucking about in this country. Reminds me of the "
true patriotism vs.
trendy patriotism"
@Issue spread we did last issue. I thought it was a nice idea for about a month or so
post facto, but now it's just agitating me that people are still being trendy little bitches.
I have yet to say something meaningful
The second one is my
column. Haven't thought of a topic yet. I assume I'll be able to get an idea thanks to
kuro5hin,
adequacy.org, and (of course)
E2. I also have to do my part for the 2-page
feature spread on
cliques. I have yet to begin research for my news story on the school board elections.
High school newspapers are so fun...
Otherwise, what have I done today? Made sure I did nothing productive. Schoolwork just seems so... disgusting. Apparently I need to
submit to the system in order to get into a good college, though. My mom enjoys spouting off statistics and rhetoric about how sLeesville is the best school in the state and about how the average
GPA at
UNC is 4.0. Not that I want to go there. She just relishes in reminding me that when I really get down to it, I am
royally screwed.
Ms.
German Exchange Student has apparently found a new '
house family'. Tried calling her today but she appeared to be preoccupied. The
phone number includes the same three preceding digits as mine. Maybe she doesn't live out in
Bumfuck Egypt anymore and somewhat closer to me...
Writing those articles sounds like a good idea. Apparently I should try this
day log thing again when I actually have somethinging quasi-meaningful to
ramble about.
