I should be studying. But I'm not. I put in about two hours of it an hour ago, so I need a break. . . *yawn* either way, somehow, between now and when I graduate high school, I need to keep my grades high so I can get into law school. Luckily, law school doesn't require anything specific, I just need undergraduate study. They normally require about two to three years of undergrad study, but you got WAY better chances if you just get your grad degree. So I can basically fool around for most of university, as long as I keep my grades really high and do well on the LSATs, I'll get in. And I think I'll take two spares next year because I don't NEED those extra courses. . . and beyond that, I might be able to go to WISE then. That would be fun.
So I was looking at the sort of community involvement I have this year, and I think it's safe to say that I'm on a lot more things than I was last year, even though I've pretty much dropped art club. It's at lunch. . . So many things happen at lunch, including trying to get a start on homework, so yeah, it can't really be helped. I started the Medway anime club, I was on Newspaper before it disbanded and died, I'm a peer tutor and it looks like I'm going to be helping grade nines with math now on Mondays and Wednesdays too. And once archery starts, I can't miss that. And on top of that, homework and stuff. Driver's ed. Which I should apply for to take sooner or later. After archery season ends or during the summer, I'm thinking. I don't know. We'll see once Sion-chan gets her G1. . .
Someone was telling me yesterday about how they wanted to be famous and immortal through being famous, and stuff like that. In a sense, I was thinking every person wants that, but upon reflection, I wondered what all those figures in history were REALLY like? I mean, we see Washington as a founder, we see Alexander the Great as a Conquerer, we see Leonardo Da Vinci as a man ahead of his time. We see Shakespeare as a great playwright, Julius Caesar as a great ruler, Mozart and Beethoven as great composers. But we don't see them as PEOPLE. We see them for stuff they did, but as people, they are as forgotten as everyone else is. . . or will be. What do I want to be? Do I want to be remembered as someone who did great things, or do I want to be remembered as a great person? I don't want the things I did, or the person I am, to go up on debate one day over whether I was good or evil or whatever. I think I just want the people I know to remember me as a person.
I'll take the small things in life.
