The Venting Thread!!

I absolutely loathe living in Ann Arbor on football days. Traffic backs up from the stadium to US-23 and halfway to the Upper Peninsula too, I'll bet. The streets in my neighborhood, which are already packed too full on both sides with U of M students are more crowded than ever. Last weekend sombody parked in our driveway, for goodness sakes! I hate looking at Ann Arbor and seeing nothing but Michigan flags and the shiny tops of cars in people's yards for a dollar or ten. It's so impersonal, mechanical, unnatural, and it drives me up the wall.

Not to mention that I hated seeing Michigan State get beat today. I knew they'd lose - their team this year sucks, no offense - but I did want them to win anyways.

I also hate the time period between getting new glasses and getting used to them. I have 20/15 vision with my glasses on now, but it's taking some getting used to, breaking my old habits of slowly focusing on everything.

I hate school assignments for Health class. I'm supposed to record everything I eat for a twent-four hour period. Well, so now I'm making myself sick trying to come up with a list that actually has food on it so my teacher doesn't send me off for counseling. But I also want to prove to her I'm not one of those total sugar junkies, except I have lots of candy from Halloween (sorry, Aeryn, I guess I'm a snotty-nosed punk by your definiton) and would love to munch on some. I'm also mad at my mom for putting a limit on how much of the junk I can eat each day. Why didn't she do that three years ago when I could eat chocolate for hours? I can't do that anymore. I can't eat anything for hours anymore.
See though, candy doesn't fill me up at all and so it doesn't make me sick so fast as anyting else. Bummer.

I'm royally tired of the weather being cold. What's worst about it s that there's anoter month until it's winter and then there's three months of that. Yuck! I !@#$%^&*! hate winter. I like spring, fall, and summer but I can't stand winter. It gets too darn cold. I especially dread when it gets all grey and the snow gets really old and grey and slushy from being walked on. But it feels like winter in the nighttime now, since we've swapped out of summer hours and it's dark an hour earlier. I'm already sick of the cold grey skies.
It was snowing yesterday.

I still hate braces. And whatever other metal stuff they can put in my mouth, too, no exceptions.

I am most definitely against homework. It's miserable and pointless and unnecessarily time-consuming. Why don't we just work in class?

I hate weekends, too. I miss school. I miss my teacher. The only good thing about weekends is that I get to see Elenka sometimes (like this weekend. Yippee! Oh, sorry . . . forgot this is the venting thread) and that's good. But I hate sleeping in, and I hate waking up too. I think I have sleep apnea or whatever it's called because I never sleep well. I hate school and I love school, I hate weekends and I love weekends. Go figure.

I hate math class. Ebough said. I also hate math homework and tests that I have to make up in Math. Again, enough said.

I like rambling, but I get the idea other people hate it when I ramble. I will shut up now. Thank you!
