Well, school started on Monday and it already sucks. They have really gotten strict about the days off...Only 12 per semester and 24 in the whole year. They also have to get a note the next day. The discipline is freaking crazy too...Basically, if you sneeze the wrong way, they'll call the cops and get you in school suspension. It took Shaler this long to realize that if you suspend someone, you get a free day at home to sleep while everyone else has to come. So they changed it. Also, if you're late twice to a class, you get detention. TWICE! I can't for the life of me figure out why they're being so horrible, they're treating us like we're suddenly going to revolt or something...This is the school that only had like what? Four fights last year? Oh, boy! Big problem, that Shaler High.
Other than that I've been killed with homework...A few hours per night, and that's not a plus when you have to work four and a half hours. Having a job while in school really really sucks.
But on the plus side, my birthday's tomorrow! Yay! I feel old...So many people are like 'wow! You're going to be 17! Wow!' Weird stuff man.
Well, my family's having a birthday dinner for me tonight with the whole clan coming down, so I have to get back to pretending that I actually care about Calc or whatever else I have to do...

95. I had to call in sick on Tuesday because I was camping, and I thought they were going to fire me because I sound normal, and how do you sound sick anyways? It's not the faint fake-sick everyone tries when they don't want to go to school, but I don't know what it is
96. I have a little bit of claustrophobia, at night when it's pitch black in my room, I get kinda nervous

Unemployment? I wish
Ok, well a new update. I haven't done anything for a while, so there was nothing to post about. We went of vacation a couple of weeks ago. I got horribly sunburned, that turned into tan, that started peeling the day we came home so I couldn't show off my awesome tan to anyone. Awesome.
But anyways, either on Thursday or Friday, I got this paper from Giant Eagle that basically said that this was a warning. I had been late seven times in June (mostly five minutes, but the latest was eight) and they were mad. One more time, and I'm fired. Well, I can't remember if I was late in July, but if I was, then I'm sunk.
So I talked to my parents about all this. Hoping that maybe they'd say I could quit and then get a new job. Ha. I'm not allowed to quit, actually. How often does that happen? My parents forbade me to quit my job, until I get a new one. Hurray! I am half-ready to do what George Costanza from Seinfeld did in one episode. He did everything he possibly could to get fired from his job, including running in a skin-colored body suit across, I think it was, a baseball game. That'd be a sight to see. Me dashing in Giant Eagle in a nude body suit. Excellent.
In the meantime, I've been putting my application in everywhere. I really want a new job. If anyone knows where else I can apply, please leave a comment or e-mail me.
