From now on

I'm just going to avoid as much contact as I can from them. Talk when I have to in short-non-conversation-starting responses. Wake up early and leave before they do. Come home and confine myself to my room or the kitchen. Find a place where it is safe and where they don't know. Do my homework, assignments, keyboard, talk to people on msn, go out on weekends and get a job. Apply for the student program at Taronga Zoo for next year. Make plans. Go through with them.
