I don't know why everyone in my family thinks I'm going to some college in the South.
I'm never living anywhere in the South. Full Stop.

But...but...BJ university (Bob Jones) is in South Carolina! You'll HAVE to go to the South to go there.

I could sooner picture you at UC Berkely than I could see myself there.
This is why I'm stressing so much over test scores months before I'll even take them. But if I have to pay off student loans for longer so I can go to an East or West College, then that's a price I'm willing to pay.

I am sick of my current printer.
It should not take 5 times to print one thing. What happens?
First try. Paper "jams". I check my printer. There is no jam. I look everywhere. The printer is not jammed. I "clear" it by shifting the paper more to the top. It still is "jammed". No paper is in. I finally give it a bang.
Second try. Same thing. Does not print.
Third try. Same thing.
Fourth try. Same thing.
Fifth try. DOESN'T EVEN PRINT.
I finally give up and switch to the monolith called my dad's printer. Prints first try.
Surprising that the monolith of a printer my dad has prints better than that 4-year-old piece of plastic known as my printer. Monolith is so old, it can't even print in color.
Oh yeah, I accidentally print the wrong page on mine. I cancel it. IT PRINTS ANYWAY.
I tell my mom that we are getting a new printer, whether we like it or not. "Ask your dad."
I ask him. "It's the computer, not the printer." I tried printing something before it shut down. It did the same thing.

That is a terrible way of getting what you want out of your parents.
RANT: The house has been vacant for a week while we were away, and now I'm sneezing like crazy.

My left sideburns are growing fast, but my right are practically non-existant. I seem to remember 'Foot having similar problems.
This is my first proper facial hair growth though. Hooray for adolescence!

I do indeed, as did cleric if I remember right. I can't get my left sideburn to get this peak in the front like I want it. Too bad, 'cause it would be beast if I could have both sides perfect.
Maybe this happens to everybody. It's happened to 3 out of 3 burns enthusiasts I've asked, including me.
BTW: Congratulations. Before they came in, I had been looking forward to sideburns since I was like one.
Bigfoot is correct. That's for parents to say to kids, not for kids to say to parents.
Now hurry up and delete that before silver, phillipe, and VRWC read it.

I have to run 5:38's on Saturday to get my goal 5K time of 17:30. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem, if it were only one mile. (I do 5:40's easily, alone). But I have to do three of them in a row! And then, I have a training run after because it's not an real race, only a time trial. My legs are going to be so dead that day...

Hah today my mother said my burns look ridiculous on me and that I should shave them. I just laughed at that. Though I guess I ought to ask my friends what do they think on weather I look like a fool with them.

Tell that to General Burnside.
Spoiler :
Seriously, he invented sideburns.
PRESENT RANT: The guy in charge at the radio station really doesn't want to work with me. If he doesn't get back to me by next week, I might go somewhere else.

I wish I had summer reading right now. It would mean it was still summer

Alas Babylon, which was actually good and kept me reading, but the second one. Oh God the second one. Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. It is so dry and hard to digest. To add insult to injury, we have to ANNOTATE them! And the paperback version of it is like one of those small books where its like they tried to cram as many words as possible onto one of those tiny pages, so I don't have room to write (false) insight and genius thoughts like I did with Alas, Babylon.What are they force-march teaching you this summer?
EDIT: WHOA on that General Burnside picture. Those burns are just... excessive. And linking them up with his mustache? Just looks wrong IMO.

Well, he was a pioneer. Experimenting. Going where no facial hair had gone before.
RANT: The whole concept of going to school is going to feel completley asinine to me after all I did this summer. I know saying this is complete BS but I feel ready for the real world. The metaphor, not the MTV reality series.
