Start

The new school year has come and I am still standing. Of course, my usual routine has been ruined by my new schedule but I guess it's worth it.

First off, we are bombarded with assignments and quizzes. Are we superhuman? No, I don't think so. I'm currently accomplishing one of my assignments but since I'm feeling lazy at the moment, I decided to blog first. I'm finding it difficult to juggle my activities from day to day and, when it's time to sleep, I just collapse on my bed. Maybe I'm just adjusting to my new schedule... Today's a holiday so it gives me a day to return to my wonderful summer schedule until Monday.

Let me tell you about my class. There's no doubt that we're more... disciplined than my previous class. I just wish that my previous class didn't separate ways. It has become really different without my other friends. In my current class, we get along well. It breaks me to say this but I crave for more spice in our class. I don't feel as attached to this class as I was to my previous one. It doesn't matter. I can't bring back the past, anyway.

So, I've been hanging around Aki-kun recently and I found out that it's a lot of fun when you can pick on someone who doesn't get mad at you. He's one seriously messed up dude (in a good way) and no one knows who he really is. Everyone thinks he's this friendly guy who's always happy but he's actually a really dark person. Despite that, he's still my best friend and I don't think he'll be getting mad at me any time soon.

Have you ever seen through people's masks? I think I found myself seeing through people's masks unintentionally. It's a gift, right? Honestly, it disappoints me to see so many people wearing masks up. Some people wear masks to protect their reputation, some people wear masks to get to other people, and some people do it without really noticing. I won't deny that I have a mask of my own. It takes one to know one, anyway. It's just that I don't like people following in my footsteps because I've lead an unfortunate life and I've just recently been righting my wrongs. Once you put up a mask, you can't let it down if you don't want people to think you're weird. And, trust me on this, it's awfully hard to keep a mask up. There is someone who follows my footsteps but I can't tell them to get a life and stop following my path (because they don't even know they're imitating me). I just wish that, someday, they'll realize that they should find their own path and that we don't need to be alike to get along.

On a brighter note, we have a new classmate. It's very rare for my class to have a new student so we were excited to meet this invader of our society new person. So far, we only have 6 boys in our class. The girls in our class have known five of them for years and the new student is a boy. This is the reason why the girls in our class are left to crawl after this little boy. And I don't crawl after anyone, thank you very much. I would like to keep my dignity.

I'm listening to Silky Heart by Horie Yui. The lyrics are amazing. I needed to see the translations but it wasn't that hard to find them. The song was utterly amazing. It's from Toradora!, by the way. I'm trying to find the right moment to finish the series already but I can tell it's not coming any time soon so I'll have to wait until next month.

I guess that's everything. Thank you for reading!
