Home/School Dichotomy

First, for all but the one person who was up tonight and read these as I posted them, I suggest you read all the previous posts, because it's not like you've been ignoring this blog for months and don't want to go back and read months of stuff, it's more like they're one nights worth of stuff, and you should read it.

So, funny thing about going to school halfway across the country is that I can be a completely different person there than I am here. And I think I'm probably a good bit different; we all have different personalities for our friends, family, guests, the general public. Maybe you don't. If so, good for you little miss/mister 'I'm perfect.' Honest, that would be awesome. Anyways, the audience addressed in this blog is somewhat dual. Primarily I'm writing to my friends from my local high school. So there are some things that I wouldn't write if people from my current high school were to read this. Some stuff I'd tone down, some stuff I would add it. Nonetheless, I can't rule out the possibility that someone from my school will read this, or my parents, or perhaps some other random person. (Even now, colleges look at Facebook. I wonder if they'll search for blogs too.) Hence, I try to write with a somewhat professional attitude, and with the knowledge this is on the world wide web. There are a lot of things that I might otherwise write.

So, this is the last post of the night, which has basically defined what this blog will be. I will append two things to this blog; first that I'll probably write about school somewhat, and second that I reserve the right to post random two sentence things about what I find interesting.

Good night everybody, hope you have had and will have a good thanksgiving break. I'm kind of optimistic at this point in the night, so I'll say that life probably isn't as bad as it seems. Everyone talks about how bad high school is; maybe it is/will be, maybe it isn't/won't be. But statistically, most people don't commit suicide, and so we must conclude that life is worth living. Remind me to write about that later. I will restrain myself for now.

Good Night again, and Good Luck,
