Jury's Out.

It hit me. No really, it did. The other day, I realised what has been sort of at the back of my mind for months. The sentence I use to describe myself most often has changed tense. I am no longer "Homeschooled" Instead, I "was homeschooled." I don't mean that in any way I am glad to be out of it any more than I am glad to be out of highschool, for that is all it really is; it's just that it never really occured to me really, really really, what it would feel like to have graduated. My whole identity is and has always been being homeschooled, and now that that's over it just feels odd. And sure, I'm going to be doing the inevitable Math "upkeep" over the summer and all of that. It's impossible not to. I have this morbid sensibility that tells me that when I come to visit for the holidays down the road, I'll be assigned some sort of schoolwork for no apparent reason. But none of that really matters, because for all intents and purposes, I am a was. I'm not sure what I think of it yet. I'll let you know.

I've been noticing that I tend to get rather heated when I "debate" with people. Even friends. I'm going to ask them to let me know when I'm verging on the edge, and pray that I have the sensibility to listen to them and stop it. As odd as it may seem, I actually want to be a nice person to be around.

I never thought I'd say this. I'm sick of news. Even politics. News, news news. It's all depressing, rarely straightforward, and in general, just noise. And this is coming from someone who loves politics... Not sure what's going on with me. Am I alive? I'll have to do some checking.

Yep. I'm alive. I guess for now I'll treat it as an anomaly brought on by the despicably early Presidential Election hype/coverage.

Saw Ocean's 12 this evening. It was very good. Overall, not as good as the first, but the dialogue was excellent, and the characters were as hilarious as ever.

I work tomorrow, and Saturday. So yeah.
