Play Crack the Sky
I'm not a fan of writing down stories, but I do love to think about and create them.
Your tongue is a rudder
It steers the whole ship
Sends your words past your lips
Keeps them safe behind your teeth
But the wrong will strand you
Come off course while you sleep
Sweep your boat out to sea
Or dashed to bits on the reef
Your tongue is a rudder
It steers the whole ship
Sends your words past your lips
Keeps them safe behind your teeth
But the wrong will strand you
Come off course while you sleep
Sweep your boat out to sea
Or dashed to bits on the reef

Today, I am fine.
Today, or rather, yesterday, was May 7th.
The AP Lit Test was only half of what I expected. I knew I would do well on the MCQ, and I did. The FRQs, on the other hand, were a different story. I spent the first forty minutes falling in and out of sleep trying to read/comprehend the first poem about Henry VIII. Forty minutes.. that's how long I have to write ONE essay. We had to do three. The next twenty minutes were spent reading the next passage and trying to understand it. Didn't work on it. I then moved on to the Open Question. Finished that. With fifteen minutes left, I went back to the Henry the VIII and just wrote whatever came to mind. I knew I wouldn't finish. Got two paragraphs done. Then an intro for the other question.
Yeah, I didn't do so hot, but you know what? I don't really care. I can never stay awake during these tests. It's not that I don't get enough sleep, it's that I get bored very easily.
I know I should care, but I really don't. Same goes for Gov, Calc, Physics, and Spanish.
Next was the track meet. The whole meet was a disaster. Whitney does not know how to run a damn track meet.
I didn't qualify for any of my jumps, only pole vault and 4x4. Pole Vault was the first event, and I did ok. I was hoping to break my own school record of 8'6, but I didn't. I was bummed out. This changed with the 4x4. I was very nervous, and like always, needed to pee. The last time we ran the 4x4 with this team was at Concordia, with .5 seconds away from the school record. I wanted this. I wanted this record so much. I was focused and gave it my all. We beat the record by 2 seconds. Fuck. Yeah. I was so stoked, damn. This made me happy, even though we got second.
Hometown afterwards to celebrate.
