Librarian took my phone today at school and gave it to my English teacher.
My English teacher is the head of the Board of Education and doesn't like me at all because I told her I hate English class.
So, she gave me 3 days of ISS and I can't get my phone back until tomorrow at 3:00 PM.
I then realize that Thursday is my birthday and I'll turn 15. My Mom was going to let me skip school to let me go get my learner's liscense, except now I can't because I got ISS 1 week or less before my birthday.
Now, I have to wait another month to get them. :/

Fuck school.

A cooler idea is to not use your phone when you shouldn't be.

Shocking.

But it's fun to be a rebel.

It's just the man trying to keep you down! Fight the power!

I always find it amusing when a student is texting on a phone, while he's in the front row of the classroom, and the teacher is standing directly in front of him...

But anyway, when I was creating a calculator in C#, I accidentally did something, and now a file I made from it is corrupted, and won't allow itself to be deleted. It constantly says that it's being used by another process, even after restarting the computer.

lawl.

But in all srsliness, it ticks me off when someone complains about getting punished for breaking a rule, as long as the punishment isn't overboard. It really doesn't make sense. You break a rule, you get punished. You bring it on yourself.

Today I had to go in for my Juvenile Detention Center tour, by court order, and wow. I really hope I don't fuck up because going there would be pretty shitty. They're the only center in Jersey that is "paramillitary" if I remember correctly, meaning that the only thing you have to do to stay is say the "Yes sir" "No sir" and basically show respect to the people that work there. So fights, cursing, and all this shit is allowed there. I think it's pretty gay, but as long as I don't have to go there I'm fine.

Second rant:
I have to start my community service soon. 50 hours, not bad but still a decent amount of charity work.

Couldn't agree more...

Parents are forcing me to write a complete college application essay tonight. This doesn't really bother me (honestly, I was going to start it at 8...and my dad came in around 7:30 all pissed), but my parents are also forcing me to:

1) Go to a senior picture at 10am. I already took a picture with the group of kids who do the Joint Enrollment Honors Program with me, I don't care about taking some God damn picture with 700+ kids (at the same time, group picture on our stadium's bleachers crap) so I can look in the yearbook and be like "lolomg dere r me ^_^". Note that I don't have school on Fridays, I normally sleep in...which is what I planned on doing. So now I will be tired as fuck if I have to stay up as late as I think I will.

2) Go to lacrosse conditioning. I've been to every one, but on Monday this week I started to feel pretty shitty (headaches and major leg cramps), so I haven't been any days other than then this week. I wanted to rest because we have tryouts this coming Monday, and I'd like to be in my best health for them. Parents don't believe me, so now I'm going to do it in cold weather with a (highly probable) lack of sleep. Not only will I do awful at conditioning, I'll most likely not heal up in time for tryouts and look awful there too. Fucking great.

Fuck.

I have watched all Scrubs. I will die inside if they don't finish season seven.

The icon for my Music folder has been gone for a long time now. Instead of being a semi-translucent folder with music notes in it (like all the other folders such as documents and videos are like), it's just a plain manila folder like the one that shows up when you press "new folder". I'm on Vista BTW. I didn't think this problem deserved its own topic, so does anyone know how to fix it?
