Flat Lining

Recently, a lack of inspiration plagues me. Am I not cut out for blogging? My life is essentially very boring, it doesn't exactly make the best reading. Even this post, which I intend to make at least a paragraph or two, is turning into an epic fail. Many have succeeded in making humorous and witty blogs because they have funny things happen to them. Here is a brief summary of my life, starting on a Friday: On the typical school day, I get up around 6:35 AM. I then have breakfast, get dressed, brush my teeth, etc, etc. After that, I get on the small school bus that goes to my school at around 7:25. Along the way, a few others are picked up as well, Rose, a good friend, Marielle (not quite sure how she spells her name, but spell check doesn't find my interpretation too unusual), a quiet 3rd grader, Sean, a, ahem, less than pleasant 7th grader, Sean's friend Travis, another 7th grader, and James, a 9th grader who mainly sits and listens to his iPod. We arrive at school at around 8 o'clock, and go to homeroom at 8:15. Homeroom isn't much to speak of, just attendance being taken and so forth. Homeroom ends at 8:27, and the first class of the day, which on Fridays is music, starts at 8:30. Here we either learn about composers and such, or sing choral songs. Next, at 9:15, is English. We learn mainly sentence structure, we are learning about clauses right now. At 10:00, Gym starts. We play sports, many times soccer, kick ball, hockey, and on occasion basketball. Next up, lunch starts at 10:45. The typical food is a slightly burnt tasting, meaty substance. A few of the food items are fairly ok tasting, like the mozzarella sticks. As for snack food, there is no soda, the closest thing to soda is Hawaiian Punch. There used to be a wide variety of potato chips, but they have diminished significantly, now there's only popcorn and a brand of pita chips that costs $1 a bag, rather than the fifty cents the popcorn costs. They also have been replacing the ice cream with frozen yogurts. After lunch, at 11:30, is Spanish class. We learn mostly volcabulary words that are usefull to conversation, like verbs and key phrases. Next, at 12:15, is History. We learn American history, right now we are learnig about the Revolutionary War. At 1:00, I go to Reading. We just finnished reading The Hound Of the Baskervilles, a Shirlock Holmes book, and have yet to be tested on it. Math is at 1:45, and we are currently working with geometry. Science is next, at 2:30. We are learning basic chemistry and physics. At 3:15 dismissal starts, where we wait for our bus. When the bus comes, everyone on my bus gets on and we ride home. I arrive back at around 4:00. I usually have a bite to eat, and then start my homework. Once that's don, I then have not much to do, so I surf the net untill it's time to eat dinner. I eat, surf more, or perhaps watch some TV, then go to bed at maybe, 11:00, somewhere there about. On Saturday mornings, I get up at around 8:00 and head down to Manhattan with my mom and my brother, the latter of which is in a science program at Colombia University. My mom drops him off at the building his class is at, and then grab some food at the campus coffee shop. We then make our way down to the physics building and sit there, sometimes reading, or using the computers in the lobby, which are open for anyone to use. When my brother's class is done, we head back to the car and drive home. I then go to swimming, which I have every Saturday. We usually swim a lot of laps, enough that I don't keep count. Many times after, we go down to Subway to eat. We get home, and once again I have nothing to do. Then comes about what I am doing now, just surfing the net, perhaps blogging some, really nothing to do.

Yeah, my life isn't much different. Nothing ever happens over here. It's just the same thing every day...
