Hanging Tree

You are probably wondering why this post is called 'Hanging Tree'. Well I'm not going to lie to you I was going to start you out with a quote from the song 'Hanging Tree' by Counting Crow......until I looked up the real lyrics.
I thought it was:
"This busy life of mine is hanging me up all the time, this busy life is just a hanging tree"
this is because I have been busy latley and I thought it would apply.
What it really says:
"This dirty life of mine is hanging me up all the time, this dirty life is just a hanging tree"
not the same thing....doesn't really apply...but still a good song, check it out, it does sound like Busy not Dirty.

So I said I've been busy, and its true. Your probably thinking 'oh he's in high school, its not that hard' and you probably will still be thinking that by the end of this post, but first let me tell you what been going on, you can be the judge.

So usually senior year is easy and you dont have alot of academic classes, well I only have one non-academic class and next semester I am going to have none. Some of my classes are pretty hard, like physics is pretty confusing and Lit is just hard, I have this essay which is on this short story called 'My First Kill', and yesterday I was trying to find out things about the author and I found this whole thing about the sybolism in the story and its so disturbing....if you want to check it out:

So anyway the essay has to be 300-350 word and I have 500 words and dont have a finished introduction or even a conclusion, so I dont know if I'm going to have to shorten it or what. But yea being a level L at school (if you know what thats all about) is kinda a drag. I always have to be good and in uniform and we have meeting every thursday during lunch. Also I was just elected vice president of my senior class.....yay...I guess, I don't know how much work that is going to be. Also Every Thursday I help out in a after school kids program from like 3:15-5:00, oh and these are no normal kids, think of an annoying kid you know, now think of that annoying kid on crack! its that bad, but I get community service hours which I need 20 of per semester to be a Level L. Also I have been making an effort to work out everyday after school. so thats like a half and hour to an hour. There is also this crazy chick at school thank likes me, she has a boyfriend outside of school and one of my really good friend likes her....so that really annoying to have to deal with everyday cause my friend always act different around her and she sits with us during lunch and is in some of my classes. we also had standardized testing yesterday and no seniors before us had to take but but this year we did, and it was the exact same test as last year, the questions and everything was the same! so today I was suppose to take it but mom said I could stay home and help her out around the house.....I dont know if that was the best dicision, becuase I have to vaccume the whole house and then decorate it for Luke and Mimi's birthday and to do that I'll have to convince mom to buy decorations because we have like 2 things and she thinks that will be fine when in truth it will look like crap. And today my energetic cosin is comming today! should be fun.....RUN Ellie! RUN!!!!!
