  got to skip period 6 and some of period 7 to listen to some guy talk to us about " making a plan"  eric bailey was born in down town LA.  he was almost blind in his right eye,  and couldn't read or write.  his was constantly told that he was a loser and would never succeed.
 he had a growth disease that made him grow 2"  every week.  when he was 10,  he went to a party to try and be cool.  some guys came and started shooting and he made himself a plan,  realising how short life could be.
 he then tried to go home,  but police were there.  when he thought that they had gone,  he got out but a policeman saw him.  they took him and asked him why he was there.  he told them the truth,
 and they beat him and left him with his nose,  ribs broken,  lungs punctured,  and unconcious.  he waited for an hour before the paramedics came.  before they did,
 he heard the voice of a girl he'd met tell him not to give up.  she had been shot three times and died by his side.  at 12,  he decided to achieve his dream-  of becoming a pro baller.  he ended up playing in the NBA [
can't remember the team]  but was then fired after playing what he thought was the best game of his life.  he then transferred to tasmania to play.  he moved to melbourne and then queensland.  he was told that he would never play sport,  that he would never be successful.
 now he has retired and works with celebs like jlo,  mariah,  50 cent,  will smith.  motivational?  *
sigh*  i dunno.  some people got free bballs.  * sigh*  oh wellz.
 i think it was pretty cool.  though you can't really be sure if his life was at bad as he says it is.  but then again,  some people do have pretty crap lives.  we did our science half yearly today.  i think i did ok.
 not sure about some of the questions.  got maths tomorrow.  i hope i do ok.  past years' commons were pretty easy.  but i don't want to be too confident,  coz then i screw up.
 =  my mum's done a joel.  fame,  great china circus,  monet to moore [ some art thing]
 cats,  cirque du soleil [ imax]  sydney north dance festival,  peter pan,  hills district music festival,
 saltimbanco,  beauty and the beast.  interesting.  i remember all of them except the great china circus.  i've actually been to a proper circus?  *
sigh*  imagine if the only people left alive were teenagers.  imagine the chaos and lack of order there would be.  reading a book that shanaya lent me.  a series about what a bunch of teens do when they realise that there are no adults,  no rules,
 no authority.  it's quite interesting.  i'm going to go on a whinge about being so procrastinating.  coz i really should be revising my maths.  i've only had to have jackie explain the negative indices thing to me about 20 times.  *
sigh*  i always do all my study at the very last minute.  and then when it gets to aroud 1 the morning of the test,  i freak out and start doing some major study.  i'm gonna agree with jay about the wanting to stay in school.  don't even want to think about the hsc,
 coz it's just freaking me out.  it used to seem so far away,  and now it seems really close.  * sigh*  who am i to talk?
 i feel sorry for those people in yr 12 right now.  it's not really that easy to cram and stuff for the hsc is it?  that's how i've been coping for teh past two and a bit years.  i always say that i'm going to change,  but do i?  no.
 i don't really have as muich of an excuse as jay to be going on about all of this.  but i am anyway.  coz i'm on the net,  and i can''t be bothered to go and do my maths.  * sigh*
 it's in period 6.  so we still have recess.  i still have recess to bug people about how to do stuff.  or sometimes people buggin me about how to do stuff.  and me kinda not telling them the exact right thing.  not on purpose.
 but because i think i know.  but then i remember that what i told them is something else.  i hope i end up developing good study habits.  coz at the rate i'm going.  my future ain't looking too bright.  =
 * Sigh*  i really hate commons.  and half yearlies.  they ruin what could have been a perfectly good term.  *
sigh*  must remember to tell mrs.  dowler about going to perth.  hmmm.  NOTE TO SELF:  tell mrs dowler about going to perth.
 yeah,  like that's going to do anything.  * Sigh*  i sigh WAY too much nowadays.  maybe it's just the lack of something constructive to say.
 not that " sigh*  is constructive.  but you get what i mean right.  why does it feel like i'm doing a jay?  obviously not as much as her.
 but still heaps.  maybe i don't really have much of a life after all.  i mean,  it's not like i talk to many people.  and not that many people talk to me.  and the people i DO talk to,
 tell me gross stuff about samuel getting dakked.  * cough*  JAY * cough*  i have done a world first:
 i've gone on the internet way more in a week than my mum has.  she's been at home this WHOLE week and hasn't been on the net for even 10 minutes!  i feel like i've accomplished something.  hehehe.  trying to give jay a crash course in maths.  but it doesn't seem to be working.
 do you know how hard it is to explain surds over the net?  * sigh*  i think she understands now.  but i'm not sure.  it's getting colder and colder.
 i hate the cold.  it makes you all cold.  and i have some weird problem and my toes swell and they get all painful and red.  it's kinda gross to think about.  so i won't pollute your mind with such images.  getting my camp photos on saturday.
 looking forward to having a look.  can't really remember what i took now.  but it should be cool.  got a free double set from kmart.  go kmart.  yay!
 so now i can do some school friends thing with the doubles.  * srhug*  maybe in the holidays.  when i get my creativity streak going.  heheheh!
 =  trish brought hers in today.  lots of lisa and aaron.  but we don't really need to go there.  hmmmm.  i'm hungry.
 there's nothing to eat at my house.  just got my braces tightened yesterday so i can't eat anything.  yeah,  the pain has decided to come back now.  and to think i thought i would never see him again.  =
 oh wellz.  are there things that should never be said and things that should always be said in open?  * Shrug*  i dunno.  stuff that you don't rally want to tell anyone.
 but you think you should before it's too late.  * srhug*  i have no idea what i'm going about.  if you people who read this comment about soemthing.  please not let it be this paragraph!
 gah!  i'm molting everywhere!  i hate hair!  ok.  so i don't.  but its frustrating.
 and annoying.  and.  finishing.  right now.  * clicks "
