DoomedOne-
What do you want drawn? With a bit of effort, my skills at art aren't too bad.

School-
My midterms are coming up. Not a big deal, I know everything I need to know. Only thing I really need to improve on is the speed I write at, and since I get half a day for my midterms, that shouldn't be a problem. I pay enough attention in my classes to absorb the knowledge coming from the teachers mouth.

School isn't completely useless as far as I'm concerned. I eventually want to be able to move out of my parent's house, preferably as soon as economically possible. That means I'll need a job, in today's economy, a good one. Which means I need college. Which means I need to finish high school, and preferably pay enough attention in my classes to succeed in college.

I prefer to learn things that will be usefull in real life. So my math class is pretty useless and boring. Some math is needed in life, but what we're doing right now isn't particularly useful. Plus I get yelled at because I don't show work, because the answer is what's important, if you know that you know what you're doing. Some of my other classes are useless, some teach things that will come in handy.

Regarding how to pay for college and an apartment at the same time-
Well, I'm only a freshman, so I don't need to worry too far ahead. But I recently got an interesting proposition from a friend of mine who shares similar plans. (graduate high school, move out of parent's home, go to college) She said that after we've graduated, we can be roommates and share the rent, cutting the costs of living for both of us. (pretty sure she was just joking, we both have a ways to go before we could move out) I responeded by saying that neither my girlfriend or her boyfriend would probably like that plan much. ;) I'm lucky she has a sense of humor that is similarly twisted to mine, and she realized I was joking. Otherwise she probably would have pushed me into the traffic on the road. (it was rush hour) I'm bigger and quite possibly stronger than her, but she's a fighter, a tomboy, and a small tough person can usually manage to beat a bigger person who won't hit back.

Regarding the other downsides of high school-
I don't much mind stereotypes or social groups that exclude others. I have friends from pretty much ecery group in the school. I've got nerd friends (by nerd, I mean nerdier than me), I've got emo friends, I've got a friend who pretty much defines the term jock, I've got preppy friends, I've got Gothic friends, I've got punk friends, I've got preppy friends, I've got friends from all over. I don't fit well into any of the stereotypes, so other people usually define me either as Gothic or as a reject. (similar on a lot of points, the difference being that Gothic is more fixated on death while being a reject is more just that-don't fit, don't care, and the fashions are different, Gothic being mostly black and dark red, reject just being whatever, doesn't matter, but generally dark) If other people ask me what I am as far as groups like that go, I tell them I'm Gothic, because it's a term people can instantly identify, as opposed to needing to re-explain what a reject is and why I'm considered a reject. Bit less awkward that way. If people want to exclude me from a group, that's their choice, and it means I probably wouldn't want to hang out with them anyways. And that doesn't happen much, I'm mostly called a reject because I don't like hanging out with most people, but a lot of people like hanging out with me, and most people have more important things on their mind than messing with someone who doesn't care. (be it girls/boys, sports, money, school, friends, work, or messing with someone who's more fun to mess with) I don't care much about stereotypes, so it doesn't bother me. And I'm usually too busy thinking about stuff to notice, anyways.
