Recap

There's something wrong with our society.

I realized this when I saw a commercial for Christmas decorations on TV about a week ago. Since then I've seen Christmas decorations, and holiday-themed gifts, etc. Today, I went shopping for new school clothes with my Aunt Patti (more on this is a minute), and found small Christmas trees in JC Penny! Umm, hello? We haven't even had Halloween yet! I think we're all a bit eager for Christmas to come, but we need to listen to our inner kung-fu master, and "Have patience, grasshopper."
Or, is that just me?

Anyway, about shopping; I got some much-needed pants (all blue jeans, as usual), and long-sleeved shirts to finally fill up that middle drawer in my bureau. I do admit I got a couple t-shirts, even though my summer-clothes drawer is so filled, you might think an avalanche of Red Sox jerseys had ambushed it. But, I couldn't resist getting those t-shirts, they belonged to me. They even had my name on them; One says, "Hello, My Name is Awesome," and the other says, "Huh? What? Sorry, I was too busy being awesome."

I told you they were for me!

So, I got some good clothes, and in case you were wondering, I did get the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid today! I'm already half-way through it, and it's the funniest one by far!

At the end of the day, I hung out with the usual gang of neighborhood lunatics, and played some football, and stuff.
It's just too bad I don't have another day to hang out with them all day. School stinks.
I don't know if I've said this before, but I'll say it again, just to make my point:
I have a logical explanation as to why school is such a bad idea. For starters, us kids really only need to go to school up until about fifth grade, because about fifty, to seventy-five percent of the information we learn past then will most likely be totally useless in our future. By that time, we'll have also learned all the most important stuff; geometry, fractions, reading, writing, and whatever science we've learned by then (see, I've already forgotten what I learned back then!)
Another thing about school is that school never really ends, because once the school day is "over", you go home, only to be buried chin-high in homework, which leaves hardly any time to ourselves. And earlier bed-times make that matter much worse. So, even though we learn things in school (and apparently knowledge and formulas will set you free, as my science teacher says), the whole system is a scam. I'd love to have a stern talk with the bone-head who invented school the way he did.
Then again, without school, we'd all have much less friends than we do now.
School is so frustrating.

Yours in awesomeness,
