My parents have the bad habit of always calling me a lazy person even though it's just because every night I commit a few minutes to this blog (actually probably the rest of the night). There are several things to prove them wrong. FIRST of all, if I was lazy, I would be slacking in my school work. If I was slacking in my school work, Mr. Rowland would schedule an appointment with them. BUT look, no appointment, so I don't know if they just think that doing just fine in school is being lazy or what.
SECOND, they have to stop putting me down on things I would like to do. Today I went to Alpha for an interview (a very brief one by the way) and I decided to apply for both of the Honours programs (Scimatics and Humanities) and my parents are all like, "Oh what a waste of money (It's a cost of $120 per exam)." and, "You're so lazy, you'll never make it." So I don't really get it.
Today I got to skip probably around a period of school (1:00 to around 2:00) because I had to go to Alpha for an interview regarding how well I would fit in at Alpha and just a brief overview of what it was like at Alpha.
It turns out that I was completely wrong about Alpha.
Okay, let's get a few things straight my friends who told me that morale was low there. The students do NOT smoke in the hallway, skateboard in the hallway and the teaching staff is excellent. They have an AWESOME transition program from grade 7 to 8 where they combine Math and Science (Scimatics) and English and Socials (Humanities) so that we only get two teachers for the whole of grade 8 (sounds fun).
So it sounds like a pretty awesome place at Alpha. With 800 people, I'll get to know them a lot better.
I dunno what to make out of the future and I have NO IDEA at all what it will hold for me. All I know is that it's up to me to form my own future. I just wish that the time machine had been invented and I would be able to go back in time and answer all those, "What if..." questions that I have in my head.
Probably the biggest one would be, "What if I had followed that guy into his van when he offered me some toys." Maybe I wouldn't be here. Probably.
Life Is *Sigh* Happy
I guess my life is pretty good now. Running a blog and all that stuff. School's still awesome and I can't wait for floor hockey tomorrow (though I'm kind of bummed out that on April 30 I have to go to the Honours exams and I'll miss P.E). Canucks are also playing tomorrow and I can't wait to see if my prediction of a five game series in favour of the Canucks will be true.
Today's a 9. It's been a while since I've actually been a 10, but there just those little imperfections in life that I just need to iron out. Maybe it's all this stress that's boiling up in me or maybe when I get into high school and start finding the path to my life then I'll start being a 10.

Oh Kevin I hope you know the Parents have such high expectations of kids these days. If you don't get praised by your teacher, or doing homework 24/7 its considered failing in their book
