Homecoming Rant

Today we also voted for our homecoming court. I have mixed feelings about the subject; it's surprising knowing that people have actually voted for me this year. Not enough people to actually get on, but it's still really sweet and it's a nice form of validation. The one thing I hate though is when girls campaign.

It's never been much of an issue at my school since we aren't allowed to campaign and put up posters and stuff anyways, but this year girls, especially girls in my grade, have been canvassing for votes. It's annoying and unfair, really. One girl even has been passing out candy with "Vote (her name) for Homecoming Court 2K14" stickers on them every day. If you are actually worthy of it, you shouldn't need to campaign and beg and bribe for a vote. I know I'll never get on court for any dance in a million years, but I wish people would stop being obnoxious about court.

Today was pretty uneventful. I did get asked by a high school newspaper in the Akron area to write a guest column for them, so I'm pretty excited.

Goodnight!!!!

Now I'm watching Skins UK. It's pretty good so far.

I JUST FINISHED MY HOMEWORK AND IT'S NOT EVEN 8:30 YET

YISSSSSSS I'M GONNA WORK AHEAD ON MY STUFF FOR NEWSPAPER AND DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO GET AHEAD OF THINGS THIS WEEK YISSSSSSSSS PRODUCTIVITY IS THE BESTESTEST

My sister made me make dinner, so now I'm a little behind on my homework. It's nothing I can't recover from, though.

One down, a few more to go...

Today was, in terms of work and lack of drama, a pretty great day! I have hardly any homework to do for a change, and it's miraculous. I wish every day could be this easy. I did feel like I was falling asleep through most of it.

Today I organized the first Film Club meeting for next week, so yay! I also ordered a boutonniere for my homecoming date.

Goodnight!!!!

Today I've done pretty much everything except finish my damn Chaucer essay. I'm just so so so so so sick of writing essay after essay and revising essay after essay. I just can't take it anymore. It's too much work. I know that in the long run it'll help for writing essays in college and time management stuff, but come ON....

I'm not in the mood to get out of bed because I do that far too often and I don't recommend it.

I just wanna take a nap right now.I'm not about this life.

I start my community service next week. I'll be tutoring kids in inner-city schools. I'm a little nervice because I've had some struggles tutoring for NHS, but since these kids are in elementary school I think I can handle it okay.

I JUST WANNA SLEEP IN AND BE WARM BUT NOOOOOOO

Goodnight!

I just wanna procrastinate and watch Netflix

How I joined the Lacrosse Team

Today when I was door-to-door walking, the temperature was in the low 40's so I wore a lacrosse jacket from my school. I've never played lacrosse, but during my sophomore year I was the athletic trainer for the Girls' Lacrosse Team at my school. As a thank you gift, the coach sent me this really soft and warm zip-up jacket. I wear it pretty often, and whenever I do people ask me if I play. I typically have time to correct them and fill them in, but not this time...

My mom and I had gone out to lunch, and as she was in the bathroom, the restaurant's manager walked up to me and exclaimed "You play lacrosse?! Oh my goodness so does my daughter!!!! She loves it, she spent a month this summer up at this intense LAX camp, it was epic. She's an underclassman, so we don't know if she can play Varsity just yet."

He had gotten so far along in his lacrosse discussion that I didn't have the heart to correct him and make him feel embarrassed, so I just played along with it, nodding my head and saying "yep" and "oh yeah, definitely" between sentences. Then, he asked me "What position do you play?" I was stumped. I only knew one position in my limited knowledge of girls' LAX, and it was the goalie. So I said that, and Mr. Manager was thoroughly impressed and wished me a good season. 

So now I'm the goalie on the girl's lacrosse team. My life is now lacriss-crossed.

Today's been ok, I spent it all door-to-door walking for my dad. It was pretty fun this time around though! I really didn't mind. It was freezing cold outside though. I also tried an Apple Pie donut and it was AMAZING. I don't even like donuts and this was one of the best things I've ever eaten!

Goodnight

I give up on my homework. I still haven't done my stats, Canterbury Tales essay, nor nearly enough studying for my AP Bio test tomorrow. I'm screwed. At least I'm getting to bed earlier.

Herp Derp I can't write any more poetry analyses and essays I just can't

Nope.

I can't focus on my homework so I'm just making motivational posters for Newspaper class and strategizing on how I can bring up my GPA through my grades in AP English and AP Bio. I'm really close to getting an A- in both of those classes. With the extra credit assignments in Bio, I can easily get up to an A- or even an A.

School today was somewhat better. Just being done with the issue of the newspaper took a bit of a load off my back. In class, the adviser had all the editors meet up in private to talk through all of the drama and issues that we went through. Of course, they aren't fully resolved or fixed, but we can only do our best to move forward and come up with new means of efficiency. It's just frustrating overall. I also wish that I had less homework. it's all just too much to handle.

I'm so so tired out, the last thing I want to do is homework!

Goodnight!

I managed to get a lot done in the past hour and a half, everything due for tomorrow, extra credit for AP Bio, and some test prep for AP Bio! I feel much better surviving the night. Now I just have to do it again tomorrow! I can do this. Goodnight!!!!!
