If you asked anyone who taught me in elementary – high school, I’m sure they’d tell you that I am not a bad student, so long as you didn’t ask a math teacher (because, seriously? It took me four years to pass Algebra I); I’m not taking any math classes, so why am I finding myself checking and re-checking my grades because I am less than 50% sure I am passing any of my classes?

And that’s where I’ve been. Making up excuses and covering my ass and trying not to think about school. Here are some highlights from recent livejournal entries:

- OMG where are my Moth cd’s? (found them)
- I went to church on Sunday.
- OMG where are my Verbena cd’s? (did not find them)
- I looked at my bank account online this morning, and apparently my debit card has suddenly started taking money out of my savings account instead of my checking, and now I am way overdrawn.
- I could barely move my mouth this morning.
- The internet and phone service have been out at my house for more than two days.
- My fall quarter schedule would leave time for me to work 8 hours a week and I have a not small car payment to make monthly.
- I can’t stop listening to Ben Harper.

And so on and so forth. I stopped listening to Ben Harper long enough to realize I couldn’t find the cd’s I wanted, found myself in a church for the second time in a year (and I could explain how bizarre that is, but that would take hours and hours and hours), lost a lot of money, had cotton mouth, and went without the internet for so long that I bought the first two seasons of Weird Science out of boredom.

I bet you’re glad I’m keeping the rest of the complaining to myself.
