Something u hate – St. Patty’s Day! – March 17, 1992

Something I hate do do, besides coming to school in general, is to do oral reports in front of the class. I get all nervous and my heart beats really fast, and I feel like I’m just going to faint. I think it’s just the thought of all the people in the whole class eye being on me.

I just woke up from being asleep in Mrs. Bencaz’s class. I would’ve stayed asleep if the bell hadn’t run and woke me up. Today is St. Patrick’s day andthe only thing that I had with me that was green was a button that says "School Sucks". Not too appropriate, considering where I’ve spent all day, but it’s better than getting pinched. I sent off my thing to LSU today to go to Spring Testing. I am going to be absent April 1, 2 and 3, but it won’t be counted as an absence since it is state approved. I’m gonna be staying in a dorm for 2 nights, which should be interesting. I’m actually kind of nervous, but a friend of mind is going, too, and we are going to share a room. All this college stuff is really driving me crazy. I’ll be glad when all the paperwork is over with. I signed up for the ACT prep classes today. That’s one more thing out of the way. I’m still counting down the days until my birthday. Only 9 more days!  God, it seems like forever. I wonder what I’m gonna do. I know I’m gonna be at school, but after that, I’m not sure. I don’t want to go to the Texas Club or any of that, because all my close friends are still 17. That kinda puts a damper on things a little.
