Brothers And Sisters Day

Haven't done any of the essays that are due in the near future. Am currently trying to rewrite my valedictory speech after putting it off for ages, because someone decided my English wasn't good enough. (Okay, so one paragraph had a jumble of somewhat incoherent ideas. The rest of the corrections were just anal-retentive rubbish.) I thought April was an awful month, and things would get better in May, but they're worse. I have four essays to write, SATs this Saturday and next month, a valedictory speech to rehearse by next week, possibly an Economics test to take, and a concert to practise for. What do you do when half of your life is in total disarray? Escape to the other half in my case, since I just spent half the day at SICC and Gerald's house. The country club has nice toilets! Attempted to play tennis, and sort of succeeded. We played like four rounds of mahjong at Gerald's house, before switching to Risk. That one game of Risk took until past 7 pm, and we ended without world domination having been achieved by anybody. So now I'm typing this entry in front of my computer in a lousy mood. Not sad, but frustrated. Frustrated because I'm not blasé enough to say "To hell with it" and not bother, yet I'm not determined enough to do anything about the scholastic sphere of my existence. I almost wish I were the sort of student who plays truant...
