Athena's Corner
Thanks. Athena is one of my favorite Greek Goddesses. I've been studying Greek Mythology since college.
Is that where you got the name from, or is your name really Athena?
Apollo is cool.

My names really Athena. My mom named me after the Greek goddess. :)Apollo is pretty cool.
That is so cool!
Aphrodite, Zeus, Venus...I just love Greek Myth. There's just something about it that attracts me and fascinates me.
If it were up to me, I would have named my kids after Greek Gods and Goddesses. :)

Venus is Roman. ;) equivalent to Aphrodite. But yeah. I love Greek mythology too.
Cool.
Well, I'm off to refill my coffee before my wife and kids wake up. Nice talking to you, Athena.

Hate it. I wanna do home school next year for my last year, but the performance art program is gonna be really good... But I don't think it'll be worth putting myself through hell...
Performance art...wow, that's incredible. Oh, it might be worth it, Athena. Anything worthwhile is worth working hard for.
Home schooling. We didn't have that in my day. I loved high school and college.
I miss those years a lot.

It's not about not working hard. I love performing arts. And I love school. I just don't like MY school. And I don't like to complain, although I end up complaining about the people in my school everyday, I can't take it anymore. I have this saying, "if you can do something about it, dont complain" my therapist says I can't do anything about it. So I'm gonna complain as much as I like. Bleh. Idk. It sucks. Cause I really wanna stay for the performing art but I can't STAND the people anymore. :( I'm a bit conflicted.
I understand. I think we all complained about school at one time or another. I know I did.
I see a therapist, too, Athena. I think therapy is a great thing if were open to it.
What about the people bothers you? Are you bullied?

Not bullied. No. Not anymore anyway. I don't like how they complain about the work. It's like... "I'm so over this!" I'm like, "if you spent as much time doing it as you do complaining you might be done already!" And people just don't like me much. Which is fine. They don't have to like me. But I'd really prefer that if they aren't going to do anything to help themselves, then they should shut up.
Athena, The mantra my dad gave me was as follows:Breathe in as deep as you can and let it out slowly, and again for 5/6 times. At the same time say to yourself, "You are as good as the best and better than most". It has worked for me every situation I have been in.
:) Thanks Katherine. Anywho, enough complaining about high school...
Anyone read any good books recently?
oooooo. I added that to my reading list.
It's an excellent book, one of the best I've ever read. I hope you enjoy it.
I hope i get to is in the near future.
Let me know when you do, okay?
Having my third cup of coffee, reading, and playing with Dixie, our cat. Everyone else is still asleep.
We're having a wind/rain storm here this morning.

Oh fun. I have my spring concert tomorrow night.
What are you doing in the concert?
Cool. I like ballroom dancing.
BlaaaaaaAaaah...Wish I could be reading instead of sitting in this boring class listen to my teacher yell at other students for now reason... Blah. I think I complain too much. My goodness I'm turning into my classmates. D:
Haha! Nothing worse than a teacher who yells.
I had a teacher who was a yeller . . . she was my phys ed teacher, Mrs. Thorsland and she was so loud!!!
Lol. Well this guy is a science teacher. I mean he's a great person. But he's not a Waldorf teacher.
What's worse is a teacher who speaks in a monotone. They just have this flat voice that drags on and on and on...
I fell asleep in my English class because I had a teacher who spoke like that. LOL

Lol. Yeah. I'd prefer that kind over a teacher who yells. I don't react well to yelling.
Yelling is noise. Nobody hears anything. My dad was a yeller.
I just posted a sneak peek chapter of my new novel to my profile page. Read it if you like. I'd like some opinions on my work.:)

Okay. Not at the moment though. Trying to finish my math. :P
READ IT! :D loved it. There was one spelling error. I think you meant 'is' but you wrote 'his'.
No problem. Algebra? I made a perfect mark on that in grade 9.
Well yes and no. Cartesian geometry. Just learned about inverse functions and how to graph them and stuff.
Oh...not my thing. I'd flunk. LOL
I'm gonna go to bed now. It's almost 1 an and I have school tomorrow. Night.
Thanks. I did. But then I woke up with a massive head ache. :(
That sucks. Happens to me. I wake up with sinus headaches.
