I'm at my cousin's house for the 4 year anniversary of my grandfather's death. There's a lot of food and all, but my cousin's out, and it's pretty boring. It's not that I don't know the people here, I know everyone that's showed up. It's just that... I feel alienated, like a third wheel. The only person in my sort of... age group is my cousin, and she's not here. Ah well. I'm pretty much just spending my time listening to CDs that I brought along (Weezer blue, White Stripes - Elephant, Matthew Good - Avalanche, etc.) and thinking about what I should do for the end of the year. I want to write a post here that tells all, all my crushes this year, things I did that I regret/don't regret, stuff I want to remember, blah blah blah. Lots of stuff. I feel like getting that off my chest... and then hearing what people have to say about it.
I need to research and write a french presentation that's due Monday. I have to completely memorize it and everything. The teacher needed to know my topic, and I couldn't think of anything good, so I looked at the premade topic list and chose to talk about a popular person. Or in this case, popular people, Weezer. They're just so rad. I have to make sure I do a good job on this, it's 55% of the exam mark.
I quote my teacher, "If you miss this, if you're absent or sick without a doctor's note, then you get an automatic zero and fail the exam."
That's the sort of thing that gets me nervous. I have a good feeling about this though, I'm sure I'll pass it.
