The name makes sense. Finals are usually the final conclusion of your sanity. The final end to ones life. The final destination, pretty much like the movie. Finals are filled with blood, guts, pain, torture, and suffering. In the past two days, I have studied roughly 16 hours. Today alone, I studied a full 12 hours, with one break to get food, and one to pick a friend up. And the sick part about it is that I completed the studying for half of my spanish final, and about a quarter of my algebra 2 final.

I honestly believe that it’s wrong that schools put students through the pain they go through. And my school has it the worst, and i’m in the worst grade possible. Junior Year. During finals, my whole school turns into drug addicts. Somehow there is enough people with Adderall and other ADHD medications at my school to supply almost all 4500 students with a weeks supply of speed. From little freshman, to big seniors. Everyone is just taking tons of pills, and the school administration is well aware of it.

Let me explain to you what goes on at my school. We finish all of our new material for the semester, and then go on winter break for 2 weeks. First off, what exactly does the school think students are doing over winter break? Going over school work daily? No. Teenagers will get drunk, stoned, trip, and snort random stuff at any chance they can get. I can safely say I didn’t go too crazy over winter break, and I still completely forgot everything I was doing previously to winter break. When we get back after winter break, we have 1 week to review, and receive our study sheets. And then the following week is the dreaded finals. If I had finals right before winter break, I would probably have to do about a quarter of the studying I have done SO FAR. Oh, and on top of that I have to read a book for my Junior Theme. I am on page 75, and there is a little more than 400 pages. The reading is due the first thing after finals.

Where am I at right now? Sitting in bed at 2:20 AM on Monday, patiently awaiting the painful feeling of looking at your alarm clock when it says 6:30 AM, and is making a very sharp, painful noise. Today I woke up at 10:30 AM, got ready for the day, and was in the library wrist deep in notes, text books, and binders. I had such bad hand cramps I thought I wouldn’t be able to continue. I ended up studying from 1:30 AM, and just recently ended my studying about 10 minutes ago. It’s 2:24 AM, and I want to shoot myself, metaphorically speaking of course.

This long, rant-styled blog is dedicated to all high school & college students currently in a world of pain because of finals. Good luck to all, and to all a good night. Good night.

I was thinking about this website, and I realized there needs to be a big change to it. I’m talking complete re-design, new look, new feel. I have had this same style for a long time, and I am no longer satisfied with it. Since I will be finished with this layout style, I am considering posting website layouts in the content section using the same layout coding, but with different graphics.

Along with my different views on what I want to do with my life, I feel it is necessary to make this website a bit more “professional” looking. I no longer want this to be a website where someone will say, oh, another teenager’s blog. I really want to become a graphic designer when i’m older, and I feel this is my first step to making my dream come true. So, expect a few changes within the next few weeks, along with updates. Yes, I said it. Updates. I have finally started to actually update this website with content, and other stuff.

As for now, I have finals in school, which means I will not be able to really do much to this place for a week, (I will be able to post content though), so I can study, and get good grades, so I can then get into college, and become a graphic designer. See my logic? Haha. Well keep visiting, checking for updates, and reading about my life.

Well, the new layout is done. How do you like it? This is by far my most meaningful design. How my brains thinks of these things? Thats for me to know, and you to find out.

I hope the new look of this website will attract more viewers. I also hope people will see I don’t give up. Killing in the Name will live on!

If you haven’t noticed, the website has been slightly tweaked. There is a new math question spam blocker thing that you have to answer in order to make a comment. I have thousands of spam comments I have to delete, and this plugin seemed to finally end the spam. So relieveing. It’s not nice to have to delete 4,000 spam comments when you can only delete I think 25 at a time.

So other things you might notice are the status bar is going. I have unfortunately joined the Twitter community, and it will be my new status bar. Feel free to follow me I guess? I think my life is interesting enough and odd enough where you might get a few laughs out of my tweets. And last but not least, you will notice it says 2010 instead of 2009 on the footer. Hell yeah.
