(no subject)

I do not want to go to school tomorrow. I want to sleep for a long time and then take pictures in the snow. If I didn't have to go to school, I might be able to muster up the motivation to work on scholarship applications (something I desperately need to do). (The only problem with not having school tomorrow would be that the mandatory National Honor Society meeting would have to be rescheduled. I'm very eager to have this meeting because I need to get a schedule of when everybody can tutor during second semester. Unfortunately, most people don't respond to notes in lockers and the like, so we have to meet altogether to get information collected.)

It was nice having a two-hour delay this morning. I was very grumpy as I got ready for school because I had a realistic dream in which my mom told me school had been cancelled, but I can't deny that the two extra hours made me feel more rested and able to function. 35 minute classes felt just right.

I honestly think I have higher-than-average noise sensitivity. I'm usually not terribly bothered by loud music or noisy rooms, but sounds that could potentially grate on the nerves almost always do. I cannot stand loud chewing. It's probably my biggest pet peeve. (I hate the phrase "pet peeve," but it works here. An irritating phrase for an irritating aspect of life.) My dad is sick, and while I am sympathetic, I can't help but feel annoyed with all the coughing. My sister is practicing her violin, and even though she plays well, the sound gets old after awhile. It's really frustrating.

I haven't accomplished any of the things I told myself I would accomplish today.
