Alana: 1 School: 0
I have to do a presentation today and I'm dreadingggggg it. What is with public speaking? They force us to do it and I can't fucking stand it. I hate standing in front of the class, having to memorize an essay and present it out loud. Some people are good at that shit, so okay, let them do it. But why make people who are uncomfortable do it? It's not going to help me break out of my shell, but rather make me hate life today and every other time I am forced to do it. Obviously I'm not going to get a job as a presenter of any sort, so stop it. NOW.

I can't wait for today to be done. Over. Finito.

I'm pretty happy to now have a place to document day to day things.
I need to go prom dress shopping.
It's funny how high school is nothing like they portray it on TV and it's nothing like the girls in the "90210" clan that sit at the table adjacent to me want it to be. They're pretty nice but kind of idiotic, too. The way one of them will charge down the hallway to meet with another between classes..."Chrissy, ohmygod guess who so and so this and that" like give me a break.
Granted, they are fun to have class with as long as there are only one or two of them in your class. You definitely get your fill of gossip and you learn things about people in school that you wouldn't have known otherwise. Like you know, how Matt R. had a boner in drama class and how Jen H. masterbated with a frozen hot dog. All that good stuff that leaves you questioning people's mental state. Like, they truely believe this stuff. Is it just me or are these not old wives tales? I'm waiting for someone to tell me Amanda Whatsherface was caught by her friends in the bedroom with a jar of peanut butter and a hungry golden lab.
I digress.
As I was saying, high school is nothing like what they portray on TV and I expect prom to be just that. Something that fails to be all it's cracked up to be. My sisters returned from their proms dissapointed, so I'm kind of going in with little expectations. My oldest sister thought it would be all glimmer and glam, and said it was a dissapointment. The middle sister was adamant about it just having been bad luck on my older sisters part. But she came home dissapointed too. So, I'm going to get a nice dress and just go and have fun and not expect much out of it. Whatever happens, happens.
