3/17/15
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!!!!!!! My day today was solid; I was pretty productive. Since I was running around all over the place, I'm extremely tired right now. There's no way I'd ever be able to get any more homework done/work ahead on stuff. I ran back and forth between school and my grandparents' house due to a lacrosse scrimmage and my sister needing a ride home, plus I drove this morning and on the way home for the night! I also took a lengthy, scenic walk around my school's campus. It was pretty nice. There's this gigantic hill that my school sits on top of, and the football field/track/other sports fields are all at the bottom across a bridge through a wooded area. It's very pretty, especially when the sun is shining on beautiful days like today. It was fairly chilly though, and going up the hill was murderous on my thighs!!!! I need the workout though. I may just take another walk tomorrow before the practice, we'll see. I also managed to lay out a page for the paper in less than an hour, so I'm super proud of myself! That's 1/16th of the issue, and it frees me up to help other people with their pages too! So overall that was very productive.
I've basically been dead since I got home, so I'm getting to bed earlier tonight. At least, that's the plan!

Lacrosse Practice
Practice today wasn't too shabby! The breeze combined with the occasional sprinkle of rain made things a little rough, but that's survivable! A boy was injured though. He rolled his ankle, but not too severely. We only had to really worry about icing it and making sure that it gets taken care of. Tomorrow we are going to put him in an ice bath again and then tape him up before their scrimmage.
I really like athletic training; I'm pretty good at it, and I really do enjoy helping people. I've never really had a bad year with it. Even when I worked with the Girls Lacrosse team that never really needed me that often, I was never bored or stuck with nothing to do. There's always somebody that needs help, and through training I get to meet and get somewhat close to people who I ordinarily would not give a second glance in the hallway.

WOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm heading to Lacrosse now and the sun came back, so needless to say, I'm a VERY happy camper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love days like today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The rest of today was pretty solid as well! I managed to get all my stuff turned in and I don't have too much work to do tonight, so I'm thankful for that! My ass was also saved in Video Production thanks to a deadline extension and footage from a project made two years ago! Plus, the weather was FANTASTIC so when I go to Lacrosse practice later, it'll be pretty pleasant!
3/16/15, or Carmongeddon 2: Electric Boogaloo- the Happy Ending
SHE IS GETTING FIRED THIS IS A GREAT GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not for her, but for everybody else. When I found out, I was so happy I could have cried! She won't find out until she returns to school sometime next week, so there'll be some awful final explosion from her, and she'll probably attack me, but honestly that is worth it in order for her to stop terrorizing the class this year. Everything that I've experienced from her hands will be worth it once she is gone.

I'M *basically* FINISHED
THERE WERE LIKE FOUR MATH PROBLEMS THAT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW TO DO BUT OTHER THAN THAT I AM ALL DONE WITH MY HOMEWORK LIKE GO ME I AM SO SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M ABOUT TO EXERCISE AND PACK A GOOD LUNCH AND WORK AHEAD ON SOME STUFF LIKE YAAASSSSS EMILY YASSSSSS GO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's Go Time...
I've done my reading, I've contributed even more to my essay, and I did my small list of outside chores for the night. All I need to do is finish this essay and haul ass on my AP Stats, then I'm officially caught up on all of my schoolwork. I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm miraculously surviving, guys! I'm halfway through my AP Stats homework, I'm on my second body paragraph in my AP English Romanticism essay, I finished my second AP Bio lab assignment, and I'm about to do the Dracula reading that I need to have finished so I'd say I've made it to about the halfway point with my homework! Once I finish everything due tomorrow, I need to make sure that I exercise before working ahead on my extra credit for Religion and my next major assignment for AP English.
PROGRESS!!!!
I finished my lab report, and my goal before lunch is to get an outline of my paper on Romanticism done! I think I can handle that easily enough. After I finish the paper, I'm going to catch up my math homework, take an exercise break, then do my remaining math homework. The quarter ends this week and my grades are the worst that they've ever been EVER. I need to do well on this essay, and I need all the points I can get in all of my classes, especially with my sinking grades in Video Production and AP Bio.
Happy Sunday!(?)
I'm about to be doing schoolwork for the majority of the day! I'm not exactly happy about that, but I mean I did dig myself into this hole so it's my own damn fault.

Goodnight!
I'm almost done with my lab report, thank goodness! I still have to write a paper tomorrow and then finish all my math that I STILL haven't done since last Monday as well as reading more of Dracula. I think I'll make it just fine, though. My mom really wants me to work on another scholarship tomorrow as well, so I'll just have to see how far I get. I'm pretty nervous about my .grades since the quarter ends at the end of the week
3/14/15
Today was fairly uneventful! I mean I was woken up after noon, so it's not like I could've done all that much. I did get some work done on my AP Bio lab report and in reading Dracula. I went to mass with my sister tonight, then afterwards we went to Panera for dinner. She then went to Kent State University to meet her friend at the Spanish Film Festival. I started going home, but I wound up taking a detour at a park to scout out a location for a video production video. It was a pretty lovely spot, but my shoes got soaked through thanks to all the melted snow/rain from yesterday. There are tons of flooded fields in the area around me thanks to all the snow, and I always enjoy seeing that and knowing that Spring is coming! After that, I went towards home, bought gas and got a Chai latte at Starbucks. I finally deposited all the checks from my birthday, so now I'm not nearly as poor as I was earlier today! Now, I'm just relaxing/working on homework.
Yesterday
Yesterday was the perfect way to end this awful week! Despite having to wake up at 5:15 in the morning and having to stand in the cold rain for two hours, it was practically perfect in every way!
The summit on human trafficking was incredibly interesting. I did have to sit through a mass and through stations of the cross, but everything else was really educational, informative, and powerful. There were about 20 different presentations that we were all able to go to, but each of us was assigned a random one to attend. My first presentation was put on by a group that works to find missing, homeless, or at-risk teens and get them off the streets, as they are incredibly susceptible to being trafficked. My second session was about Fair Trade, and it was also pretty informative. Two girls in the group that came with me got to listen to Michelle Knight, one of the three women kidnapped and held captive by Ariel Castro for ten years, tell her story and speak of her experiences. After the keynote address, we went back to school (but not without stopping to get a snack!).
After getting back, I went down to the field as there was to be a lacrosse scrimmage. The weather was awful, but the team won and I'm really getting along well with my other trainer!
After that, I went to hang out with Andy. We ate mac and cheese, cuddled, and I got him hooked on The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. So overall, it was a perfect day!

CARMONGEDDON: The Saga Continues
Things did not improve today! She spent a major portion of the day talking to the dean of students today, and even though he advised her not to come to class today and to cool down and relax, she disregarded his suggestion (typical of her) and came to class anyways. She delivered an incredibly insincere apology that was more of an attempt to make everyone else feel bad than a genuine apology. When other people gave their sides of the story, she reacted horribly, stormed out in tears again, and accused me of "attacking" her since I gave her some constructive criticism (and not in a demeaning way).
I emailed the dean of students, and I'm going to talk to him about how this situation can be remedied on Monday since I'm on a field trip tomorrow.

Today was pretty rough. I definitely bombed my AP Biology test from earlier this week. I got the worst grade in the class so far, it's casual! There was even more Newspaper drama, which I will detail in a lovely, lengthy post. I've basically had a headache ever since. The only bright spots in the day were being cheered up by my friend Jack and going to Panera to eat a warm cookie and mac and cheese which I really regret because uggggghhhhh Spring Break is so close and I'm nowhere close to being bikini ready and uggggggggggh my body is bleh but it's too late at this point!
