*Sigh* I don't really feel like typing tonight, to be honest I can't be bothered to do anything. So why am I writing this? I don't know myself...perhaps I just want to let my feelings about life at the moment spill out. I've already done it on the WWF Forum, but here is more appropriate.
School's been getting me down lately. I wake up every morning and sigh, some could say dreading the day ahead of me. Why? Well, I think the problem is I already know what I want to do in life. I decided a few weeks ago that I want to use my writing skills to their full potential-my final target to become a successful author. I'm not too sure how I'm going to get there, but with some help from friends (people I know in person and people from these chat forums,) and from God, I reckon I can make it.
I don't like school because I spend nearly half my day, basically the main part of the day, in a dreary building, mostly learning about what the electromagnetic spectrum is, or some other crap like that. As my friend Grandprix said a few nights ago, it probably will be worth it when it's over, but at the moment I'd really rather be at home, adding to my next story (which is coming along well, but I don't have enough damn time to add to it,) than being in school learning how to work out sixteen to the power of two thirds.
Thursday was the worst. We were in week B, and that meant that my lessons that day were, in this order: German, French, Chemistry, PE and Physics. I don't like German because the whole of my class is full of 'hardnuts,' who muck about all the time, and in the end it's pure havoc, which unfortunately, I can't get involved in because I'm not a member of the 'cool' gang. I'm good at French, but the lessons often bore me, and lately it's been a lot harder than usual. So, the morning is usually hell for me.
Chemistry is boring, but PE was fun (very good, had fun playing tennis,) and Biology...well, the teacher is bad enough, and it's got to be one of the most dull lessons ever. Overall, school just makes me tired. I'm learning stuff (half the time) I don't particularly want, or need, to learn, and it depresses me. I do have fun occasionally, I have lots of friends including two 'newish' ones, who are a real laugh. But this means the teachers split us up all the time, so that's the end of that...This is possibly my first rant about something, although I expect I'll disagree with what I've written in a few years time.
Tonight I just feel...tired. Uninspired. My post count is visibly falling as I have less time to come on the forums, and also less 'need' to come on them. I would like to, but at the moment I'm just not interested in anything being written. Perhaps this is why I'm droning on in here...I had an e-mail from my ex-girlfriend the other night. A few of you on here, if you happened to read the topic on FOG Prime I wrote a while back, will know the story of how I tried to get her back. Desperate? No, it was just I really liked being around her. Do I regret doing it (as in asking her out again)?? Sort of. I know it's good to get it out in the open, but sometimes I wish I still had hope...if I wasn't so damn unconfident (blame that on infant school,) perhaps I'd be a little happier.
Maybe tomorrow I'll feel better. This is stupid, to be honest. Letting out all my feelings on you guys. Why do I do it? Perhaps it's the only way I can. In fact, it is the only way. No, actually. I can talk to God about these things...and the Christian youth group I go to. But it's still hard...I feel much more confident on here...well, I feel total confidence with God, but any other Christian will know how it's easier to spill your emotions out on another person, as they will (hopefully) give you a direct answer.
I'm typing here with no direction whatsoever...just typing whatever comes to my mind. I guess it's a way of getting away from the stress of everyday life...escapism, for want of a better term. Gah...tomorrow's sunday...where did today go? Who the hell made the weekend 2 days, and the working week 5 days?
I should probably stop typing now, as I expect I'm either making you all depressed, or I'm just boring you. I'm probably going over the top...I probably don't feel as bad as I think I do. I felt fine about half an hour ago, and then suddenly all of this came out.
Well, if you have read all the way down to here, then I thank you kindly. I have met some of my true friends on here, and these forums have become so much more important to me than just winning prizes and discussing what console is the best. So once again, thank you.
Thanks for reading, Ant.

Well, I've started my AS levels this year, and...
I'm loving it, to be honest. For the first time I can take only subjects I enjoy. I had good GCSE grades, 2A*'s,7A*'s,2B's, and am basically enjoying school for the first time ever. I used to be a bit overweight last year because school was depressing me. But now I'm fine, taken up squash, and I've resumed the hobby that controls my life - scuba diving. I'm hopeful of an Oxbridge place, for the reason I love Oxford. It's a great town, near home so I can visit my parents and my friends.
And if i don't get into Oxbridge, then I'll apply for an American univeristy place. If not, I'll keep on applying to places like Durham, Kent, Warwick. University is something I want to do, but I know it probably won't help me to become a writer, like Ant. I love story writing, but being an author will be something on the side as I try to become a film critic. Love films, got to be fun.
Sorry to not be depressed about school like the rest of you, but my GCSE grades just made my plans slot into place, and, not to sound to twee, my futures looking bright. Try and enjoy school a little more guys, it can be fun.

But the bottom fell out.
and all that remained in the box was hope
I'm not quite at the point Ant and Grix are. I'm not dreading everyday like some other people I know, but I'm not the person I was.
I don't cheek the teachers I don't like anymore and I don't seem to have the boundless energy I used to. I'm getting very tired very quickly, I've got a suspect case of diabetes and a confirmed case of Kitone or however you spell it... It basically means I'm not eating enough so my body fat is being broken down to feed me.
I know where I want to go with my life, I decided last year that I really really want to be a journalist. Any kind would do me, as long as I get to write. As I love it. And I've been told by my English teacher that I have a gift for it.
It's what I want to do, so I'm going to try.
I'm quite worried about my health in general. Two of my siblings have diabetes so it wouldn't come as a compelte surprise if I get it at some point too, I can deal with that, what really does worry me though is this kitone thingy. I've never eaten much but I've always had a ridiculous amount of energy, now I eat even less and I'm going to bed at 10:30 nearly every night.
Meh, have to see what happens. Nothing I can do if something does happen so there's no point complaining and whinging about it. May aswell just get on with my life.
