   Monday...ugh
I got to bed last night about midnight after watching Con Air. It was a re-run on the T.V. but it's a great film, so I watched it through. I was woken up this morning at 7:15am by my mother, who was screaming "Craig" up the stairs as if I had stolen the contents of the living room. I did all my usual morning rituals, and went to school to begin a new week, which went as follows:

Periods 1 + 2: ICT. Still working on that damned project, as I will be constantly until mid-February without rest. About 1 1/2 hours through the lesson the teacher, Mr Phibben, started whining (as he usually does) about how we'll be begging him for more time come April. If he would sit his lazy ass down for a second and look at how productive we've been, he'd think twice before running his mouth.

Periods 3 + 4: English Lit. An hour of 'Othello' followed by an hour of 'Great Expectations.' For Othello I was treated to writing an essay, which had to be completed in twenty minutes... that's right, twenty minutes. I had barely realised we had started when the teacher said "5 minutes left". However, I think I did pretty well considering the conditions, so with any luck I'll get a 'B' for it.

Tomorrow I have my third English lesson in which we study 'The Color Purple'. We had an essay to write for that over Christmas of all things, but I got it done before the holidays even began. We get the marks back tomorrow, and I am quietly optimistic about this one, and I think an 'A' is on it's way.

Anyway, after I got home I went out for a run with my friend Craig again. Week 2 of his 8 week programme... and this one was far more difficult. The intensity and length of the run increases every week, and we have to do the programme four times each week. Judging by today's run, survival of the fittest has been enforced. The last few weeks are not going to be pretty.

6pm now, and since I have no homework and have already showered... I guess I'll just sit back and take it easy for the rest of the day. Which is all good, since my body stopped working after the run.
