My second update...

I hate all this work. World Issues assignment on Food & Agriculture due tomorrow. Only thing I like about this assignment is having found TakingITGlobal by mistake when I typed in foa.org instead of FAO.org for the Food & Agri. Organization of the UN. On Wednesday, Law test and art project presentation. On Thursday, English conference for which I should've been keeping a log, written a thesis, and read two books for. Have not even found those books yet. I know I procrastinate. And I know most of it is my fault. But really, it IS stressful even if I do everything on time.

And what for? So I can get into a good university? People with lesser grades than me get in. I can't wait until April/May when university decisions come out. Then I can finally relax. Oh, I know. University will be stressful. But there's a certain freedom to it. You can do well if you want. You can not go to classes if you want. People understand when you want things to go deeper than Q&A homework assignments and periodic tests. They know when you travel to a foreign country to research for your senior thesis or roll around naked in red paint in the middle of the football field as your conceptual art piece for Contemporary Abstract Art 101.

I want a greater sense of accomplishment than over 80 or 85 on a test. I want stress that's worth it. I want to worry about the things that will affect more than just me. More than just my future.

Perhaps that is why I am getting into this whole activism thingy-a-bob. I'm tired of just ME.
