Man, it's early. I am a student. I am not supposed to be up at 6am. Well, not without having stayed up on purpose, anyway. For once, it wasn't John's snoring that woke me up.

I talked to my mom last night. I kinda miss home, but I'd miss being able to be who I am at home if I were there. My parents still don't know I'm a mutant, and I have no idea how to tell them. I'm kinda worried that they'll stop loving me, that they'll think I'm a freak, or that they did something that made me a mutant. Or that it means that Ronnie will be a mutant too. And that I'll be unhappy for the rest of my life. Which is totally not true, because I am really happy here -- I love you and I like all of you (even you sometimes). I just kinda wish that I could tell my parents that, you know? Show them my life, that I'm happy, that I have great friends and a wonderful girlfriend who loves me, that I'm not a freak just because I'm a mutant. That I'm normal.

Okay, I feel like a whiny teenager so I'll shut up. Breakfast is kinda calling to me. Mmm, Lucky Charms. I might even melt some ice cream over them into the milk. And then maybe I'll go study. I've got the role of the female in Paradise Lost to learn for Storm's final. Oh, yeah, she kinda hinted that it would come up, guys. Not in as many words, but she seemed really enthusiastic about it when I talked to her the other day, and she put a note in the margin of my paper about it too.

is that a word?

<ahref="http://www.m-w.com/home.htm">Merriam-Webster Online says no.

If you think it's going to come up on the test use the gerand 'the tempted'. I know we went over gerands last year in English before all this horrible lit crit started... grammer I understood. :(

Oh, and this is the x_students, so ... sparknotes.com (http://www.sparknotes.com/poetry/paradiselost/) That's their study guide for Paradise Lost, if either of you need it.

Gah, gerunds. Make the bad grammar girl stop! *grin*

Careful, Kitty sparknotes are a particular style, and we kinda have all the notes anyway from class as well. If we used any of the stuff from Sparknotes Storm would know.

You know, life as a student was easier when I didn't actually like my teachers.

I thought by reminding you of how to use the language I *was* making the bad grammar stop. :p

And yeah, I know. I wasn't suggesting just Sparknotes. But they're not a bad addition to our own notes. There's nothing wrong with going to outside sources, or extending our study. It's only a bad thing if you use sparknotes to get out of the study altogether. 's like Cliff's Notes. Nothing inherently evil about them, just depends on how you use it.

0_0 you didn't like your teachers before?

No, I didn't. I mean, I didn't actively dislike them, but it was just sort of like they couldn't know me because they didn't know the real me. It was like I was acting this non-mutant Bobby, and he just didn't feel right.

ooooh...

I hadn't shown until just a little bit before I came here, so no body knew I was a mutant, including me...
