Willingness

The will to keep working on school work has been diminishing over the last couple of weeks. I don't know if it was something that I did, or if the teachers did something, but I'm having trouble with homework plus the work that I do at school. Maybe the switch telling me that it's the weekend got broken, or maybe this is a sign that I should start working on my book, in case everything else goes wrong. I have been thinking about my book a lot. I'm starting to think it would be really fun. I could read other books like Harry Potter for inspiration into the style of my writing, and, I could also read other books to increase my vocabulary. I've been thinking of school too. I could even write about how the system seems to be corrupt. I'm sick one day (Don't doubt that I was.) and they either say "Sorry kid. You'll have to learn it the hard way now." or "We didn't do anything really important, so you don't have to worry about it." I don't know how everyone else did it, but maybe now my thoughts are taking the better of me. But, I'm also sort of torturing myself, because I think that everyone has high expectations for me, so I can't just quit school now. This is an issue that has been haunting my thoughts for quite some time now, so I hope you'll take my words into consideration and tell me what you think about it. (And just so you know, this started happening before Wesley came, so the game he brought wasn't the cause of this unwillingness.)

Jobs

I guess it's time for me to get a job. (Everyone keeps reminding me) The only reason I want to get a job is so I'll have money to do whatever I want: buy magic cards, games, and anything else I want to buy. But, I'm not so sure I could do what Chelsee did. She could go to school and work, and still have time to hang out with her friends afterwards. School would be my biggest problem, because I'm still struggling to do that along with my game time. Maybe I should just write a book and get my money that way. I've been thinking of some different plots for a long time now. J.K. Rowling made a ton of money off her first six books. Maybe I could do some awesome trilogies or something like that. Maybe Dad could help me get it published when I'm done. I would be going away from all the stuff that I'm learning in school though. I don't think I'd be putting any math, engineering, or science in my book. The most important thing to me is a job where I can use my imagination. I have too many ideas in my head to do anything else.
