Exploration or Comments: It's 11 and I'm not done my homework. Reviews for both Chemistry and Biology, an essay for English. It was my fault, but I feel so overrun.... then there was the 'responsability' speech right when I came in the door, when I was already kicking myself. Damnit. I'm tired and frustrated. This is awkward, as the majority of my feelings can only be summed up in either tears or a scream, and neither can be conveyed in this perfect black and white uniform soundless font.... This week has been one endless circle of procrastination due to my lack of motivation. The only classes I bother to pay any attention in are my morning ones, where I get to speak French and English and use my mind for things I have every intention of keeping in my life... and then I'm so swamped with sciences that I forget the things due for the earlier classes and am moving from class to class, with the homework for the next one on the go as soon as I sit down. Lunch is a toss up between meetings or homework, not food. I run, play soccer or badminton, get home and want to interact as opposed to staying caught up in texts and papers for hours at a time. And yet that is what is required. My mind blanks completely when I walk into the chemistry lab, and 70 minutes of lecture run right off of my back. Mind always fills with random peaceful dreams and softer words... paper gets filled with garbled poems and sketches, and I'm out. Biology follows the same vein - Em taught me some more Japanese, I made some half-assed attempts to translate our lab into French, sang 'possession' and soared through homework, all while we were supposedly working on a lab. I don't understand it. But then again, I have interest in neither. Biology was a filler so I wouldn't have a spare.... no wait, it was that or some home-ec. course which I didn't want to take because it has been drilled into my head that 'general' courses are going to get me nowhere. Chemistry for Photography. To fall back on. That's the one piece of information I gleaned from the simon frasier course catalogue i brought home last year. I don't have the intent of majoring in it, but have the interest. And I thought I'd be engaged for all that friends talked to me about it in times past... For all of being well rounded- I know I'm not going to be a scientist (and not, as it has already been shown, a mathemetician either.) I know I'm going to go into English or possibly languages of sorts. I'd love to learn to speak italian. highschool is being played out as the be all and end all of life. i just want to get out. the cycle of business and insanity is driving me crazy. I can't stand not having any time to myself, for myself. i can't write. i can't read. i can't even think straight half the time.

....where is home?

Exploration or Comments: Je vous repondrais en français car je ne maitrise pas assez bien votre langue sans un bon dictionnaire. C'est avec surprise, alors que je cherchais un site sur le WEB, à une requéte avec le nom de "Tréziers" j'ai accroché votre page. Le hazard gouvernant le monde j'ai reconnu dans votre récit, les voisins de ma famille dans ce village perdu de la France profonde. De ma fenêtre je vois, la fontaine la chapelle et le Christ. C'est toujours un adjoint au maire qui soigne les poissons. Les maisons de vos amis sont toujours là. Celle du Nord était une étable et accessoirement un poulailler avant d'être aménagée dans les années 80. Celle de l'ouest fut, il y a plus de 60 ans, un café. La troisieme fut aussi un café. Quant au four qui vous a fait penser à une boulangerie ,il s'agit du four traditionnel qui équipait toute les maisons en ces temps plus rustiques. Il fut utilisé par ses habitants jusque avant guerre. Je connais bien ces lieux, car j'y suis né et y ai vécu mon enfance. J'ai apprécié votre site Robert Si vous souhaitez voir la petite place sur votre fenétre : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/robert.faure/index

Why do I cry in the middle of the day?

Exploration or Comments: There are many reasons why people cry in the middle of the day. I believe most people just breakdown and cry is because of the stress we all go through. Throughout the day we are all faced with different situations with many people. We can not take so much of this stress in one day, or let it be a week, it gets to the point that you can't handle it anymore. It is then that you strat to cry, but not for any reasons except your stress.
