Today was a really uneventful day. I did ok on my Bio quiz, now I'm debating between studying for the test in that class on Friday or watching a movie for awhile. I don't actually have homework tonight, it's a rare occasion. Speaking of rare occasions, I got a 100% on my AP English research essay! It's rare when my teacher gives those out, so needless to say I was thrilled. It's just what my grades needed.

goodnight

Now I'm just listening to Kanye and feeling sad.

Down in the dumps (literally)

I'm really worried that I'm just screwing my entire life up this year. My grades are slipping despite the exorbitant amount of work I put into all of my classes, the newspaper is nowhere near as good as it was the past three years, I'm all alone, and I hate it. I'm not doing the things I love, I'm not spending enough time with the people I love, and I don't want things to keep slipping. I mean I haven't even made my bed, put my laundry away, packed my lunch, or collected the trash and taken it to the curb. I may as well just stay out there with it and let the trash man take me to the dump.

I FINISHED MY ESSAY THIS IS A GLORIOUS OCCASION

I'm still screwed, just not as significantly as I had been!

And I still need to shower, oops.

At least I have Kanye West

Homework is killing me. I still have hella math and hella paper revisions and hella stories to edit and hella quizzes to study for and hella laundry to put away and hella bedmaking to do and hella lunch to pack and I'm hella screwed

I got back about an hour ago from a food club outing. We went to a Thai restaurant and it was absolutely delicious! Asian cuisine in general is one of my favorite things. If I had to rank the cuisines I liked best, it would go in this order:

1. Comfort Food- MAC AND CHEESE! Hell-ooo....
2. Asian Cuisine
3. Seafood
4. Barbecue
5. Italian Cuisine
6. Breakfast Foods!!!!!
7. Mexican Cuisine
8. French Cuisine

I'm dying.

I leave in an hour and I still have to read a play, do three math worksheets, revise an essay, read an article and write a summary, and read and outline Article 2 of the Constitution. I'm screwed on so many levels.

I've hardly made a dent in my homework for today hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha star student right here

Homecoming

Last night was so much fun! I've never really had fun at any of the dances before, but for the first time ever I actually did. Mostly it was thanks to my friend, Dylan, who was my date. For the first time in forever I feel like I actually have a close friend at school. Here's how the night went from start to finish:

First, Dylan and I met up at my school with my mom so she could take a few pictures of us. We were there really early, and the DJ for the dance was there and he was locked out so we did what we could to help him out.

After that, we went to my friend Kaela's house and met with some other people for pictures. We went to dinner at Outback Steakhouse, and it was a little hectic because they lost our reservation. It was still tasty though, so I'm pleased!

At the dance we had a ton of fun. I've never had so much fun at a dance before! The entire time he gave me a lot of attention and was very sweet and conscientious. He even carried me to the car because my feet were killing me! No one has ever done something like that for me, and it was very sweet.

After the dance, went bowling with some other friends. I didn't want to go home, that's how much fun I was having. Overall, my favorite parts of the night were the car rides everywhere. I didn't realize all the things Dylan and I had in common, and for the first time I felt like I had a real friend at school.

My dad woke me up at 7:15... No.

Goodnight!!!!!!!!!

I'm tired out beyond belief. Tomorrow is homecoming, so I won;t be posting much, but I will try to put up a few pictures!!!! I;m really excited for homecoming and to just let loose for a weekend. I pampered myself for the past few hours, it was lovely. Sleep tight!

The letter has been sent! I also sent an email to the writers of the article. I feel pretty positive about it all not that I've let it out.

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.
