Last days of Freedom

25Aug10

oh, woe is me

but first, on a more happy topic (I had this saved as a draft, since last night, when I was in a much better mood than now)

I am, and will probably remain, a child at heart. I maintain a fairly good belief in humanity, and really don’t like to think bad about people. I even tend to forgive certain family members far too easily, and regularly am without a care in the world. I even like reading books “beneath my age group” because they are full of magic, etc, and clearly defined boundaries between good, and evil. Also I like books that describe an alternate world, hidden away in the shadows, that regular people see not, on their day-to-day business. Such is the appeal of books such as Harry Potter, the Wardstone Chronicles, and Inheritance Series, etc. I suppose I am also a little naive, and prefer my old little idealistic view of the world.

Last night I went to the cinema. My younger brother, being the testosterone filled teen that he is, wanted to see A-Team, and The Expendables. I, on the other hand, wanted to see The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. I know it was PG, and I got funny looks from the guy at the ticket desk, but I liked it. Think Harry Potter, with less wands, and people, and better looking special effects. I have seen Get Him to Greek, and Inception, lately, and both of which I was disappointed with. I expected to laugh my way through the former, but left disappointed. I expected Inception to blow me away with the best fight scenes since the Matrix. The people who said that obvious never saw the Matrix. People kept saying you need to see Inception a few times to get it, but I can say fairly surely, that I understood it quite easily, and seeing that movie again, would only degrade my opinion further. (I hate seeing movies more than once. I think it’s because I’ve got a fairly good memory, and knowing whats coming next, is rather annoying, and makes it unenjoyable)

On to my bad mood.

I took my driving test again today. Epic fail. Although I got better overall than my last test (less grade twos in any one category), I also got a second grade three (which is an insta-fail, ftl). I am really disappointed (to say the least), but in fairness, I didn’t practice or anything, and knew I was in for a fail from the time I left the centre (I very nearly pulled out in front of a car). I get like über nervous, and I think that stopped me from performing my best.

So now I don’t know what to do. Should I get the test again straight away? Maybe in a different Test Centre? Maybe leave it until after the leaving?

I got my car at the start of the summer, so hopefully, the folks, will deign to let me drive into school. (which would give me an extra hour and a half in bed, which can’t be bad )

In other news, I heard about the DDOS attack on the CAO today, when I was  which caused the site to crash. I heard this when I was in the waiting room for the driving test, so maybe it distracted me. A DDOS attack is the equilivant to opening 1000 huge excel documents a second, which would crash any pc.

I start back in school on Thursday. I’ve signed up for this buddy program, so I will have to be like shepherd to a group of like ten first years. Hopefully they will be okay, and neither party will be too shy. Then I’ll get friday off, and next friday off, but otherwise I’ll be pretty much back to school. Its times like this I wish I had done some stuff over the summer. I think I might like power read the latest chapter in like every book, so I can at least say I did something.

Meh, I posted this a day late, the test was on monday, the movie on sunday

EDIT: OH, i forgot, in like 6 days I’ll be 18. Maybe I’m getting all depressed since its the end of my childhood?
