I still have to finish that letter to the editor, though. If you mess with one member of my school's community, you mess with every member of my school's community.

I just fought and won my first twitter fight! Go me!!!!

I am FURIOUS. A local newspaper wrote up an article about the "offensive content" of our Mum Day Videos. The article was incredibly biased, poorly written, and featured on the front page even though the story is 2 weeks old AND there are more pressing issues that are front page worthy, like Ebola, the student protests in Hong Kong, the upcoming general election, etc. What was even more disheartening was the juxtaposition of the article with one about a previous student's parents' murder two years ago and the legal drama that student has endured. It's shameful, and I'm currently in the process of writing a letter to the editor. It's shameful.

Goodnight

I'm done.

I hate when textbooks ask rhetorical questions. It's like "I don't know, you tell me!" ya feel

My grades are the worst they've been in my entire life. I've never been below a 4.1, and now I'm at 3.9. It may not seem like a big deal, but to me it means so so so so so much. I hate that it does, but I can't help it. I shouldn't have taken on this much work. I shouldn't have stretched myself this thin. But I did. There's no turning back now. If I can make it through this semester, I'll be ok, but I just don't believe that it's possible for me.

I'm somewhat managing my mountain. There's still a lot I need to do, though. I hardly understand it all anyways. I'm just screwed in every single subject right now.

ugggggggh

I finished my first bit of homework, thankfully. I'm so so so so so sick of schoolwork dictating my life. It's so mundane and the majority of it is busy work.

10/9/14

Today had a lot of ups and downs. The downs all had to do with grades, unsurprisingly. I bombed my AP Bio test, just as I had expected. I also was shocked with a poor grade on my first Honors Government test of the year. I'm really annoyed with that because the teacher didn't tell us that something was supposed to be in our essays that we wrote so I automatically got a C. I'm so sick of grades. Everything is all about grades and it all comes back to grades in the end. I hate it. I also have a mountain of homework.

The ups all started after Government class. In Bio, even though I failed the test I actually won a competition and got some bonus points. It was a big surprise. I was a bit of a dark horse in that race. After school ended, I went and tutored at the elementary school again. I got to work with the absolute sweetest girl I've ever met! She was so polite and nice, and even gave me a lollipop and invited me to go rollerskating with her on Halloween. It was precious. After that, I went out to a house where I'll be spending my weekend dog-sitting. It was beautiful and the dog was as precious as can be! I'm really looking forward to taking care of her and having a house to myself for the weekend.

Goodnight

I gave up. I'm still not close to being done with my stuff. Whoops. Maybe this is why it's all falling apart.

I'm not even done with my first assignment. What is life?!

I hate school

I hate it I hate it I hate it. I just checked my grades and everything is slowly falling apart. Ever since Kindergarten I've put so much effort and time and health into my  schoolwork and now it's all just falling apart before my eyes. No matter what I do, it's not going to be fixed easily. I feel helpless and cornered.

Today was ok, overall. They announced court, and I wasn't on or anything but some of the girls who campaigned made it, which was pretty annoying. Other than that, I tutored for the first time for my service hours. It was actually really fun and enjoyable! Now I just have a mountain of homework to tackle. It'll be a blast....

On the bright side, tomorrow is a late-start day and I'll get to sleep in for at least an hour.

Goodnight!

I'm going to bed a little earlier tonight, or at least I'm gonna try to. I haven't done any of the exercise/dieting stuff I had planned for homecoming. Screw it, c'est la vie. Sleep tight!

I'm not doing my math homework.

I'm getting sort of close to getting done with my homework. I'm a little disappointed because the "guest column" was really just a Q & A about my school's Student Section at Football Games. It's kind of a letdown. At least I'll get published in another school's newspaper.

I just want the homework to end... Last night was glorious, hardly having any homework...

I just did an absurd amount of Honors Gov. homework and now I wanna diiiiie

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.

10/7/14

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.
