So, um, yeah...

Alright, so... yeah. I have been feeling rather strange lately. I suppose it's because it's nearing October of my senior year and I have not applied to any college or university yet. Counselors and what not have assured me that I'm fine and whatever. I am also not sure if I have what they label as "senioritis" because I have been quite indifferent since the school year started. Just been real mellow and so on and so forth. I almost forgot to mention that dad wants to spend $400 on a crash SAT course so I can bring my SAT scores up. His inspirational words were, "you better not screw this up."

I'm done being upset about being so consumed in family affairs and forgetting about SATs. My offer was that I can just attend decent state schools (San Diego State University, California State University--Los Angeles, et cetera) and save the $400 for a new tire or pay off the cable bill we so desperately need to do. California state schools admit their applicants based on an Eligibility Index by combing SAT scores and GPA and do not require SAT Subject Tests. Their eligibility ranges (for CA residents) are 2800 to 2900 and mine is about 3684. In terms of time and saving myself stress, I have accepted and found it reasonable to target schools that do not require Subject Tests. To be honest, I really don't want his money because of his attitude and the fact that I feel guilty for taking it. He'd be very upset if I fuck this up again, especially since he forked up money for preparation.

My school schedule is also on the shakes. I have two and four hour blocks for the first time in my life. So far, my schedule includes Honors English IV, Math IV, Government & Econ., Integrated Sciences, Patient Care 112, and Hospital Internships. But I feel so bored! I almost fell asleep in government today and day dreamed in math. I'm also trying to think up ideas for my Honors English project. And I'm considering signing up for Honors Government or Sciences. Something? I dunno.

Yeah, yeah, I'm still working on newspaper details. (I want to work in Kung-Fu club somewhere.)

The social atmosphere has grown as well. I'm noticing a lot of formations of "clicks" or whatever it's called. I have never experienced such firm groupings of friends before. Kind of feeling outcasted...

Anyway. Ramadan is going alright, I owe many days because I haven't been able to fast. I got sick two weeks into it with Bronchitis (I'm back on antibiotics and prednisone) and then the monthly menses (women are exused from prayer, fasts, etc. when they are on it).

I'm also struggling with money. I'm not sure how I'll pay my cell phone bill next month and I am in the process of creating flyers to hang up around the neighborhood to offer tutoring for elementary and middle school students.

'Til next. <3
