School’s Out

School’s finally out for the summer! No more trudging up ten flights of stairs or listening to teachers drone on about how incompetent we are.

The last week of school was pretty typical. Our Philosophy/RS teacher decided to freak the crap out of us. He was like, “Since it’s our last day together, I’ll show you a video that helped me while I was mentally depressed. It helped me get in touch with God.” Everyone was all silent but in our minds, we were like what? Isn’t he like an atheist or something? No one said anything because he made it sound like it was serious business. So we were watching it there was this woman meditating and doing yoga. Then a few minutes into the video, one of those ghost heads pop up and there was a blood curling scream. I didn’t get my crap freaked because I wasn’t concentrating real hard on the video, I just thought it was hilarious. I don’t think anyone else was freaked out either, they were just wearing WTF expressions on their faces.

I’m not going anywhere this summer nor do I have any life changing plans. I might just stay at home and eat ice cream. It’s not as if I have anything better to do. Everyone else is probably out drinking and going clubbing. But nope, not me. I’m just going to sit on the sofa and eat Ben and Jerry’s.

I don’t know how I’m going to spend all this free time. Summer really freaks me out sometimes because I keep trying to be productive by doing something productive but when I end up not doing anything productive, I start freaking out about how I’m being unproductive so I calm myself by watching TV then the next thing you know, I’m being super unproductive.

It just never works when you force yourself to be productive. Like I could force myself to write the next Great American Novel (not that I would, seeing as I’m not American) but unless I’m suddenly inspired to do something, forcing myself to do it just ends up in disaster. It’s like forcing yourself to be creative.

Anyway I checked out the new Deathly Hallows Trailer the other day and it looks pretty amazing. I got chills all over just watching that. The only nit I have to pick is how worn out Voldemort looks. His eyes are all milky and bloodshot and his lips are really chapped. I mean, jeez man, put on some lip gloss. Don’t they have chap sticks in the wizarding world? Just because he’s some big shot dark lord doesn’t mean he shouldn’t take care of himself. After all that work retrieving Harry Potter’s blood and the bone of his father or whatever to get a new body and he ruins it with poor dental hygiene. I just think Voldemort looks kind of weird in the trailer. It’s like he grew older but how is that even possible? I’m pretty sure Voldemort isn’t going through puberty like Harry Potter and gang. And how does growing old even work in his new flesh?

On other note, vote Memorylast for SOTM? I’m pretty behind on the whole voting thing because I didn’t ask people to vote yet. I was planning on doing it when I make a new blog but I couldn’t think of anything to blog about which is why I’ve been putting it off for weeks. How I still managed to get 9 votes is beyond me but I’d appreciate it if you voted!
