You think it's alright; can't you feel the knife?

What a lovely, sinister song. It's perfect!

Call me crazy, but I find dislike to be my greatest motivator. When someone hates or dislikes me, it makes me want to one-up them; perhaps a bit too much, in some cases, but none the less, it's nice fuel for ambition and drive, which I seem to lack under normal circumstances. Speaking of ambition and drive, I'm passing math, I have a 75 in biology (my grade went up, somehow), and I'm still failing chemistry. Brutal. I really, really need to pass chemistry. I'm kind of relying on this unit and the final exam to push me over the 50 mark. Right now, I have a 43, and school is only in session for a little less than 9 (is it?) days. I'm sick of school, so if I don't pass chemistry, there's a good chance that I'm just not going to go to summer school for it and drop the course all together.

I've been feeling pretty damn good lately. I've gotten almost everything out of my system. I talked to one of the people I haven't spoken to in a few months, one of my ex-best friends (we were friends for a very, very long time - 7 or 8 years, maybe), and that pretty much settled my mind. I don't regret my decision to cut those people out of my life anymore, not in the least bit. I was having second thoughts awhile ago, but now I'm sure of myself. Talking to her and witnessing the aftermath of such made me realize that they just weren't worth my precious time after all.

On another note, I ordered one of those 8 GB red iPod nanos online on Saturday, and apparently it didn't go into transit until Sunday. 1-2 business days? Yeah, right. Companies these days are absolutely terrible with customer service. It's already been 3 business days, and tomorrow will be the 4th. Twice as long as promised! Ugh, whatever happened to guarantees and valuing customer satisfaction?

I have a bunch of chemistry homework due friday (or was it tomorrow?). Either way, I'm almost done, which is new - being done on time and all. I'm not accustomed to being done anything on time, especially homework. I just haven't done any of the hydrocarbon questions yet and I've yet to do the esters/ethers thing. Not too bad, really. I'll get it done. I have all of tomorrow to do it, pretty much - tomorrow, my day will consist of: chemistry, spare, no biology, and then math. My biology class is headed to the zoo, but I decided against going. I don't care for anyone in my biology class, really. I've been waiting for a field trip for 2 years, and when one actually came along, it was with people I don't care for at all. Go figure!

I'm going to head up to bed now before my mom tears a strip off of me. I'd post pictures and such, but I haven't really taken any in awhile - shame on me! Oh well, I'll take some soon.
