Things are never what they seem. I'm divided as to whether I want a snow day tomorrow; I think a nice delay would really be the best option. We can't use up too many days before we've even hit January, that would never do. Besides, I think I want to see everybody in school before the weekend. It's really not all that bad, this highschool experience. I'm starting to appreciate it, actually. You and your friends, all on the same intellectual journey, it can be fun if you have the right attitude. And the right teachers...one thing is for sure, the quality of instruction has stepped up quite a bit from last year. Mr. Battisti, Mr. Kaufman, and Mr. Nelson in particular are definitely the cream of the AHS crop. The transcendentalism story today was pretty incredible. It's a story like that that makes me believe it can be truely noble to simply love someone and make a family. Life lessons from Mr. Nelson? Pretty funny. Going to the gym was a lot of fun today. It had been a about a week since I had last worked out, so it was good to get back into it. Everybody else seems to enjoy it too. I'm glad about that; at least we're not slugs who don't even want to get healthier. It's good for the soul, if you ask me. Exercise, that is. There's something uplifting about pushing your body harder than it's used to being pushed. And you're guaranteed results. That might be the best part of it; as long as you have the will power, you can and will make progress. Working out might seem like a purely physical experience, but there's a hidden mental aspect that most people don't understand is there. No matter what happens with the weather, tomorrow will be tons of fun.
