And Summer School Begins...

Today was my first day of summer school. Turns out, we don't even need a teacher. It's ALL computer work. We get on a computer for four hours and do lessons at our own pace. Most of it is easy and you get credit for just completing it. Don't get me wrong, I AM passing it. But I did like half of the first unit just today. This may be easier than I thought it was going to be. Hm...it beats being in that dumb christian school last year with the stupid interactive dvd and the penicostal biget who liked to preach to us for an hour. Well.....that's it!

Memorial Day....it's gonna be memorious alright.

Today was ofcourse Memorial Day. Mom was off, so this morning we got to go register me for SUMMER SCHOOL!!! It was SOOO fun! I got to get a lecture from the lady in the office, got reminded that I wasn't supposed to be going to summer school four times, and I'll be riding the bus there every morning for three weeks. ISN'T it WONDERFUL???? Yeah, I know I'm lazy. I know I'm supposed to take responsibility for my school work and seek help when i need it.....I KNOW! TRUST ME, I KNOW! But when my own teacher REFUSES to help me AT ALL because I'm "too difficult" and there's conveniant tutoring FIRST THING IN THE MORNING at school, and my math teacher LIES to my mother the second month of school saying I don't do ANYTHING in her class.......wow, I guess it is my fault. Golly gee.....I'm a real knuckle head. Anyway, we went to Walmart and got some little things we needed for today. We came home and watched "the invasion". It's this movie about these parasite things that get in your brain and control you....mom was scared. I thought it was pretty good. After mom took a nap we went to Tasha's moms house to go swimming. Then we just came home and did nothing. Awesome. Well, summer school starts this Thursday, so I better enjoy the next two days. Oh wait, I can't because I got to clean the house for mom's friend that's coming over for her birthday. I love Kelly like she was my aunt, but I have to clean the house JUST BECAUSE I'M HOME. Okay, I'm done complaining. Now I have some important staring at the ceiling in my room to do. BYE!!!

I'm lucky

Easy/lucky/free-Conor Oberst

Did it all get real, i guess it's real enough they got refrigerators full of blood another century spent pointing guns at anything that moves sometimes i worry that i've lost the plot my twitching muscles tease my flippant thoughts i never really dreamed of heaven much until we put him in the ground but it's all i'm doing now listening for patterns in the soundo f an endless static sea but once the satellite's deceased it blows like garbage through the streets of the night sky to infinity but don't you weep (don't you weep for them)there is nothing as lucky don't you weep there is nothing as lucky, as easy, and free Don't be a criminal in this police state you better shop and eat and procreate you got vacation days then you might escape to a condo on the coast i set my watch to the atomic clock watch the crowd count down 'til the bomb gets dropped i always figured that there'd be time enoughi never let it get me downbut i can't help it now looking for faces in the cloudsi got some friends i barely seebut we're all planning to meetwe'll lay in bags as dead as leavesall together for eternity but don't you weep there is no one as lucky honey, nothing as lucky, as easy, or free. I'm lucky i don't put myself down as much as some people do. And I'm lucky that I have what I have.

Change of Plans

Yesterday I had a sore throat. It hurt really bad and I could barely swallow. This morning I woke up with no longer a sore throat, but a stuffy nose, a cough and dizziness. I feel aweful. I slept all day, which I've never done. Mom had to stay home from work. She might catch whatever I have. So I barely got out of bed today. Good thing my friend's party was postponed. I would've felt even worse if I missed it. I had to miss Jordan's birthday party though. I feel bad about that. So when I finally woke up today it was around 3:30. Mom made some chicken, sausage, potato thing and I made some baked potatoes....so yeah, I'm full of potato....and peanut butter. I like peanut butter. Anyway......GREAT way to start the summer huh? This sucks.....bye bye.

Last Day of School :(

I passed all but one class, I didn't get in trouble all year, I had a good day......so why am I so sad? Matthew's gone, Ryker's gone, no more Coach Wax, no more sitting at lunch with my best friend every day, no more getting by easy. I'm also going to summer school.....I think. Tomorrow I'm planning on sulking around the house, doing some stuff for mom, then going to my friend Shelly's party. I REALLY need to get out of here. If I'm left with time to think I end up crying. I'm just emotional. EVERY YEAR I lose at least one friend. For ANY reason. It's not fair.

The Day Before

It's Tuesday. The day before the last day of school. I'm sinburned from last weekend when we went to Mona's cookout. It feels better though. I'm just trying to do a lot of "last things". Like my last drink I'll buy from the Freshman High coke machines, and the last time I'll eat in their cafeteria, the last time I see my Matthew....waaah!!! I just can't believe I'll never see him again. He's been a big part of this year, I was so glad I met him....now he's just leaving. Ugh....so my friend Jordan's birthday party is Thursday and so is my other friend's party. I really want to go to both, but I don't know what's going on. And I might be GOING BACK TO SUMMER SCHOOL. I DON'T want to. But I don't know what else I can do. It's so stupid how I went to Credit Recovery and still have to pay nearly 200 dollars for summer school. Everyone tells me the same thing-"You should've got it right the first time" But ya know what? I DON'T FREAKING UNDERSTAND MATH, okay? Do you all hear me? I try. I REALLY REALLY TRY and it never comes to me. That's why I give up and stop trying. No matter how hard I DO try, it never does me any good. That's it.

May Day

It's Saturday night. Not much to do. I was supposed to go to my friend's house, but YET AGAIN she didn't answer her phone. But yesterday was fun. I went through 4 classes which were 30 minutes each, then we went over to the High School gym to practice with the band for Graduation. That lasted 2 HOURS!!! Then we went to May Day. I had alot of fun. We got our faces painted and I was in a race with my friends where we had to get in a car and click our seatbelts then get out and go to the next seat. We couldn't stop laughing. So I got a few pictures with my friends and teachers. And my vice principal. UGH, he's so cute! (I know, that's wrong) I only got 3 days of school left. And they're all finals days. I'm gonna miss the friends that are leaving, but that's the way it is. So here's the pictures....

I'm gonna miss Matthew the most. And my Rykis.

Coach Wax looks gorgeuss in that Hiwaiin shirt. (don't deny it) We shot my friend Shawna in the head so we mourned her death. Me and Jordan had some fun too.

Even though my bff Shelly Bean couldn't participate at May Day, the caution tape WOULDN'T seperate us!

Singing in the Rain

Yesterday it rained really hard and we had really strong winds. It started as just a little rainfall then it felt like a fricken hurricane. There was dubri all over the place and the wind knocked over some small trees. So then it rained basically all night and was still raining in the morning-no- make that STORMING. So I go outside at 6:40 to wait for the bus and I'm stading there in the rain......and thunder......and lightening.....and my neighbor comes out and tells me the schools are closed. I just smile and say, "Not yet, still got another week." Then my friend Justin and his mom pull up and tell me the schools are closed. Turns out they were right and I stood in the rain for a half an hour for nothing. But I had the whole day off because the power was out at school. Then around noon, it stopped raining and the sun came out. Some people don't have power right now, I consider myself lucky. But this day off is a huge inconveniance for me with my school work. I had a studyguide due today and I was supposed to say my monologue in drama class. I was also supposed to play a scale in band. So if the power is out tomorrow, I'll be so ticked. I haven't gotten in ANY trouble ALL year and I really want to go to May Day. I haven't had a trouble-free year like this since 3rd grade. It means something to me. I'm not a bad kid, I just feel smarter because I don't do stupid things. I learned that if you do what the teachers want you to do, they leave you alone and don't watch you like a hawk all year. So...I'm just going to watch the news tomorrow morning to see if the power is up yet. And again, if it isn't, I'll be busting some heads up in herr! holla homies

Mondie Mondie

Ah, Monday. The second to last Monday of the school year. Today was "eighties hair day" between me and my friends, so I teased my hair to high heaven and my friend Matthew looked like the lead singer from A Flock Of Seagulls. We had a good time turning heads today. Anyway, yesterday I fractured my toe for the second time in my life and it hurts SO bad. I hit it on the wall. So all day it's been hurting and after school my bus driver decides she isn't going to show up so I had to fricken walk home with a fractured toe. Ow. So, all this week I'm going to be buried up to my chin in study guides for finals. I don't mind doing them, it's just inconveniant when you're supposed to turn them in. Stupid teachers....they want us out as soon as possible, but yet we have to do all this small grade crap. Anyway, for my closing statement I want to give a shout out to UNCLE STEVEN for all the cool stuff he's given me. THANK YOU STEVEN!!!!!!!! I enjoy them very much.

AND WELCOME BACK SAM AND YVE, I HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOUR TRIP!

Mother's Day

I want to take the time to tell my mother that I love her. Today is the one day of the year when most people call their mom's they haven't talked to in months and say I love you. Since I deffinately do not have that problem, and I'm ALWAYS with her, I could just give her a nice poem I wrote and she was happy with it. Ever since I could write, she would be happy with some crappy home-made card. I realize now that home-made gifts can only last so long. I can't give her a drawing I made of her and me when I'm 24. But....I'm 14 now and I gave her just a poem, and she loved it. I love how she just enjoys something I give her because I gave it to her. We don't have much money right now and she didn't care that I couldn't get her a gift. Even if we have the time and money, she just tells me that if I make her something, she'll be happy. So now we have a full file cabinet of all the crap I've made her over the years. She's currently sun bathing outside, which she never does. I'm glad she's relaxing. Mom's been so stressed lately, I'm thankfull for this one day dedicated to Mother's because it gives my mom a break, which she desperately diserves. I love her with all my heart, and even though she can't take me out every day, I'm glad she provides for me everything else I need. I LOVE YOU MAMA!!!!

The last REAL School Friday

Today was like, beyond depressing. It was awards day and the same like, 4 people kept getting the awards and we had our last REAL Friday of the school year. I'm especially going to miss my drama teacher.....she was the only teacher who made everything fun and talked to us like equals. We were all telling everyone else how much we loved them and how we were going to miss them. Five of my friends are coming back to the same school next year. That hurts. God only knows how many friends I'm going to lose touch with next year. I did it this year, a lot of my friends I don't talk to any more. But.....it's still another boring weekend. I planned on going vegetarian by next Sunday.....but I might have to wait on that. It's an experiment really. Anyway, next week is just preperation for the teachers to kick us out of school so I don't know if I should be excited or what.

Two Weeks From the End Wednesday

Today is officially two weeks from the last day of school. Yesterday was my last day of credit recovery. (yay!) I passed and now all I have to do is find money for credit recovery in the summer. I am currently accepting odd jobs to make money. We're not doing much work in any of my classes. We have a few small tests this week and next, then it's finals. So....I get to go to May Day. Which means next Friday I get to slack off all day. Then it's tears, hugs, and fond memories until two Wednesdays from now. God, I'm so frickin scared to go to high school. I'll have to take driver's ed and I'm scared I'm going to crash....I might get into trouble more easily over there.....I might get beat up. Anything can happen. Ugh....guess I'll have to suck it up.

A whole notha Boring Friday

Friday.....and it's lonely and boring. Mom's watching a movie and Chris is asleep already. I have nowhere to go and nothing to do. School's NEARLY out.....God, it's going so slow. Next Tuesday is the LAST credit recovery class so that's cool. Today was okay too. In science we tried out our hot-air balloons we made. Our's flew, so it got a passing grade. In geography we did this thing where each geography class was another continent. So we visited all seven. Europe was pathetic. Stonehenge was made out of toilet paper roles.....haha. Our Africa was flippin awesome though. So today was the festival I missed. I shouldn't take it personal though because most of my friends couldn't go either. Next week I should give Mr.B the evil stare during class. Anyway I'm bored so here's a bunch of pictures of me and my AWESOME mommy.
