So I can't find my copy of Pride and Prejudice for AP English Lit, which is weird. Maybe it fell down the back or something.

Classes seem fine. Busy times this year, but I'll manage. I've got Photography I and Astronomy to fall back on - I know Astronomy at Uni level is hard as hell but honestly, how bad can it be in High School? I'll just reread A Short History of Nearly Everything. I've got The Prince to read but that's not too stressful, until you factor in the reread of P&P, the huge amount of Latin that's about to be dumped on my head, and Psychology, which I'm betting won't just be a fun recap of amusing mental disorders. What exactly possessed me to take four APs?

So I have this resolution. I'm going to be nice this term. Not nice for a week and then an antisocial cow like last term, but actually nice to, y'know, people. Even idiot people. If Cady's dragging me out tomorrow night again in her usual philanthropic fashion, and the chances are high, then I've got to at least make the effort. I totally owe her.

Plus, I can't stay a social pariah forever, right?

Right?

So, new term, new Liz.

Cue the shortest and most pointless week of the school year. One day of drawing up schedules, listening to boring introductions and generally sitting around, then today listening to... oh yeah, more boring introductions and 'short history ofs', and then voila! Le Weekend. During which the tradition is apparently to indulge in copious amounts of underage drinking, watch repetitive explosions, and possibly eat barbequed food.

Unless you're me, of course, in which case (if last year's anything to go by) you get dragged out to a party by your sister and spend the whole night sitting around getting progressively more twitchy and hopped-up on Mountain Dew laced with tiny quantities of Absolut vodka (which I swear is the single most disgusting concoction, alcoholic or otherwise I have ever had the misfortune to taste), and wondering what all the fuss is about.

Maybe this year I'll try and give myself a concussion or something.
