Speak Slowwww
Wow. Life has suddenly become incredibly busy.
There were a bunch of things I wanted to write about, but I completely forgot what they were. Ah well, if I remember I'll fill you in later.
Here's the one thing I do remember, though: I've pretty much made up my mind to join the school paper this year. Well, I'm not sure you can even call it a paper - it's more of a magazine sort of deal, only cheaply photocopied and without the pretty glossy pages. Plus it's a bit weird...it's pretty much entirely student-run and it's very, very casual, and...well, some of the writing isn't exactly what you would call...good. It's not really up to me to judge it...but I think that if I were in charge of the paper I would probably have some sort of policy about getting things looked over and edited before printed, just to get rid of simple grammar mistakes and things like that. My mom had seen a few of last years issues, and she always tells me how stupid it is. She's always like, "Hailey, it's disgusting!" The content is fine - it's full of book reviews, sports reviews, poetry and drawings and things, but the quality of the writing is...poor. So that's kind of what prevented me from joining last year. But this year, they have a new editor, so things might be different, and also, I don't really care about that anymore. I like writing, and I'm always feeling like I should do more of it, so the paper will give me a chance to do that. And that's all.
I have about fifty trillion things to do today - so I'd better run. I need to get ready for this big Library shindig, and I'm quite excited, because I like the library. I'm going to go do something with my gross hair and listen to Tegan and Sara real loud while deciding what to wear.
