What I've Been Up To

I'm writing again; I'm reading again. I just finished It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizinni. It's about a fifteen-year-old guy who becomes clinically depressed when he enters a very competitive private high school, so he checks himself into a psychiatric ward for a few days. I'd say I have most of the thoughts he has, only to a lesser degree. He thinks he's worthless because he's not as smart as everyone else in his school; they get perfect grades, and do way more after-school activities like volunteering or sports--the kind of things that look good on an Ivy league application. That's exactly how I feel sometimes. It sucks. But funny enough, he and I reached nearly the same conclusion at the end (I won't tell you--no spoilers from me).

I wrote a love poem today for a girl who doesn't like me. Didn't give it to her, just wrote it.

Finals are this week. I'm screwed.
