Slaves for eternity

   Alright, so.. school.
   What the screw?
   That's all I have to say.
   But seriously, school is alright this year.  Probably because I have only two classes to go to.  Friggin' spares are cool.  Of course, having them first and third period is kinda odd.  But I like it.  Having a spare first means sleeping in, whereas the third period spare is used for reading.  I wasn't reading very much at all during the summer.  Now that I have less time to do it, I'm reading more often.  Go figure.
   Now I'm going to play Xbox.  I've got to finish Tomb Raider: Legend on the Tomb Raider difficulty (that would be the most challenging one [other than Time Trial, which I already completed {haha, what now?}]).
   So, I'm leaving now.
   Really.

Practical matters

   The summer has been going by incredibly slowly.  I've been dedicating most of my time to Oblivion, though I do take the time to read now and again as well.  I have only done one bit of writing since the summer started, and it is certainly not very good just yet.  But I have plans to work on it, so hopefully it won't be too much longer before I have something decent.
   I probably should be out looking for a job soon, but I want to enjoy this, the last of my summer vacations.  After this, I've got a semester of high school left, and then I most certainly will have to get a job then if I don't get one beforehand.  I would prefer to wait until that semester is done, however, as I was never very good at doing my homework even without other commitments.  I believe that with a job, the little time I have left for myself will be spent reading, not doing homework.  I'm not very good at setting priorities for myself.
   A friend of mine is in England this month for a Writer's Craft course.  I've been getting e-mails from her, and from what she says about her program it is amazing.  I wish I could have gone with her, but I did not have the necessary funds.  I hope I'll be able to travel with her sometime in the future.  I've never been very far from my home, and I want to experience travel to a distant land.  England would be especially nice, though there are many other places that I wish to see.  I think that if I spent my entire life traveling, I would still never see all the places I would like.  But that's the problem with wanting to see everything, I suppose.

Thousand faces

   I had a substitute teacher in English class today, and I could not be more thrilled with the outcome of that.  First of all, I had been in a terrible mood during first period, and this teacher lightened my mood by making jokes and talking about Greek mythology, and how it related to Christianity.  It's a bit too much to go into great detail here, but it was extremely interesting.
   Afterwards, while doing some partner work, I instead took the time to engage the teacher in a bit of conversation.  At first, I had attempted to start a conversation about which mythologies he had studied, and which he had most enjoyed, etc.  But then another student came up and began asking about Jesus and how the story of Jesus related to other mythologies, and how perhaps Jesus was a truly fictional character.  That led to an extremely interesting discussion, which nearly drove all other thoughts from my mind.  Nearing the end of the discussion, the teacher pointed us to a book by Tom Harpur, called The Pagan Christ.  I'll be sure to check that book out sometime, though there are some other books that he mentioned to me afterwards that I may look for first.
   Yes, we had a bit of an interesting conversation after the bell rang for lunch and the other students had left, flitting from topic to topic.  We went from Christianity to Mayan mythology, to evolution and Darwin, to dragons and how they may have actually existed, to the never-ending quest for knowledge.  He was a most amazing teacher, yet it seems unlikely that I will ever see him again, disheartening as that may be.

Judgement errors

   I just had an amazing gameplay session in Call of Duty 2 this evening.  It started out innocently enough: I won a quick deathmatch game, came in close second in the next, came an extremely close first in the third, and totally dominated in the fourth.  I believe that was the order of it, though I could be wrong.  It was during the second or third match that I became... attached to this group of people.  They were good!  There was only one game where I seemed to do much better than them - second place something like 11 kills behind.  But all the rest of the games were extremely close in points, and extremely intense, especially once we started playing Headquarters and Capture the Flag.  There was one match where my team lost miserably, but these things happen!
   Wow, I talk about these things a lot.  I doubt anybody truly cares about my Call of Duty 2 experiences except myself.  Then again, I don't have anything else to talk about... except perhaps my Perfect Dark Zero experiences.  But no, I think I'll pass on that.
   I should probably go to the bank tomorrow and cash my cheque.  I think I received it on either Monday or Tuesday - most likely Monday - yet I haven't felt the urge to go to the bank.  I've been extremely lazy of late, even more so than usual.  Yes, difficult to imagine, but entirely true.  I'll have to do something about this, I think.  Yes, drastic measures must be taken!  If I don't become too lazy...  Oh goodness, what a pickle.
