brendan’s memoir

God I hate this English project. I should really start working on it. I’m just trying to get back into the blogging world, which gives me way too much reason to keep procrastinating. School is going to be over in just about two months, and it’s only just getting hard. I don’t just have to do this whole massive project for English, but I also have Tech; basically the polar opposite of an easy A. The whole freaking class is based on one project, and it’s a total gamble. It’s not like desk work, or a research project. You have to put together a ridiculous chain of simple machines within a wooden frame so that you use all six simple machines, deflate a balloon, and set off a mouse trap. You can use all these power tools, and cardboard, whatever. You have to put it together within the term (two periods of it a week) and then test it at the end of the term. If you make some little mistake, or don’t finish in time, you can easily get anywhere from a C to an F. If just one part of it fails, then the whole thing fails. So there’s kind of a lot of pressure.

I mean, this year it is fun. I have to admit that. I mean, it sounds fun, doesn’t it?* I have to say, though: I might enjoy it more if it weren’t at the same time as this term-long English project

*Okay, maybe not the way I put it.

Edit: My theme didn’t like the formatting I put, so that foot note looks pretty sloppy. I’m sorry.
