Hmmm, I suppose it could be worse? Could say something like "10 easy steps to transforming your summer break into total wrecklamation" compared with wrecklamation, doom doesnt sound so bad.
Now hold on. As a teacher I've seen my share of student mispellings. It's possible he didn't know how to spell duomo! See, there's always a bright side :) lol
Was a paperclip strategically pinning a bunch of pages together so that if you opened it, he'd know? Cus I think DOOM is probably just a quaint acronym for Dear Old Obsessed Mom, not that you're old. Or perhaps it stands for, Don't Open and Ogle, Mom. Kids are sneaky like that.
Anna! This has nothing to do with the post, but thought of you today when I saw this on "The Knot". I don't know if you'll be able to see it but here's the link:
Anna....that's the bunny that keeps showing up in my dreams AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!so freaking creepy how the hell did you find him. Awesome photos I want to go to that vacation spot ASAP. Thanks for dropping by was nice to see you and take good care. That staring deer is also really creepy reminds me of one of my cousins he's got the same eyes.

Nature Lesson #8: Zombie bunny! Run away! RUN AWAY!
Heavenstomergatroy! I used to hate those composition books in school, because the binding was sewn together. That meant, if I made a mistake or wrote something I didn't want anyone else to read, I couldn't just rip the page out.
If I did, the jig was up!
Always stick to the perforated notebook. Much easier to hide the doom!

Ahh..but there's probably both Doom AND gloom within. :-)
I think I took that class in college.
On the bright side, it's only like 100 sheets of Doom!
there's something to be said of a man with one mind.

Oh NOOOOO! Not Doom.
wait what's doom, a video game maybe?
batten down the hatches and prepare for DOOM. whatever that means : )
Anna,
I miss you! WE miss you. By we I mean the entire blogiverse. In fact, as a card carrying Leflerite, I hope everything is okay.
But no-doy, DOOM does not spell okay.
xo,
Ann
You know how kids have weird names today, it probably belongs to some kid named Doom Savannah or something.
At least it's not titled "All the people who are going to be sorry." I think that's a plus.
That was my major in college. I graduated first in my class!

That's a hoot!
So succinct. So telling. That casa's got smarts.
Maybe the next notebook will be more upbeat.
hahaha....
And so it is, a writer is born.
Gomez has style. Can you just make sure he doesn't have any explosives?
I'd be watchin' out for that little guy underneath the writing...
And I'm with Ann the Rants Queen: WE MISS YOU.
It appears to be a "TOP FLIGHT" type of Doom. Perhaps we should just avoid air travel for a while.
I see a Law and Order episode in your future.
Hide the guns and knives!
Well that takes me back to high school and junior high like a time machine cleverly disguised as a hot eighties sports car....
Let's open it up and read what is inside....
Cheerful title anyway.
ROTFL!!!!!!!
Any chance it was meant as a criticism of the class and he just misspelled "dumb"?
I always think movement in ANY direction is better than limbo. Perhaps not with threat levels though...
If he were dyslexic, he would be spelling out MOOD. And for that, you could just get him a nifty ring that changes colors.

At least you've been warned...
Perhaps he's dyslexic and keeping a journal of his emotions...

MUSTACHE WEDDING FAVORS!!! Too funny. All the best! : )
No making fun of my last name, now.
My theatre prof said that mood was doom spelled backward.
I am sure there is a connection somewhere in that profound statement.
That's my middle name.
I totally got an A in Doom.
ugggh. come back!
Doom huh?
That was what I called Algebra class since I never knew WHAT the heck was going on in there.
I wish I'd had that kind of clarity when I was in school. All my rants, tears and bad poetry could have been distilled into this one word.
LOVE it.
haha
Thank God the end is near, I'm exhausted.
Ah, young minds and their thirst for knowledge!
