There's a rise, there's a fall.
I stumbled out of bed at five, something I never do. I'm not too certain that I was having a pleasant dream, so I don't mind much. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure I was dreaming at all, but that's probably impossible, right?

My cat is pawing the door and meowing at me. I can't let her outside, though. It's too early; she'll stalk the birds and there's a slight chance she'd kill one. She's successfully pounced on two in the past. Luckily enough, she is no longer interested. My other cat has padded her way up here and they'll attack each other instead. That means racing at each other from opposite ends of the room.

Today is the last day of school. I'm glad.

"I am, O Anxious One" - Rainer Maria Rilke

I am, O Anxious One. Don't you hear my voice
surging forth with all my earthly feelings?
They yearn so high, that they have sprouted wings
and whitely fly in circles round your face.
My soul, dressed in silence, rises up
and stands alone before you: can't you see?
don't you know that my prayer is growing ripe
upon your vision as upon a tree?
If you are the dreamer, I am what you dream.
But when you want to wake, I am your wish,
and I grow strong with all magnificence
and turn myself into a star's vast silence
above the strange and distant city, Time.

The only grades I bothered to find out were my chemistry and history. For chemistry, I got 78% on the exam (Or was it a 79%?) and 78% for the year. In history, 'Josh Burgermeister' got 87% on the exam and 86% for the year.

Not bad.
