I think today is the first day that I actually realize that I start high school tomorrow.
Up until now, I was unable to grasp the concept.? I understood it, but I didn’t really…understand it.? Now, I’m beginning to understand it, but not without some doubt.? Where did my summer vacation go?? It seems like just yesterday I was talking to Mrs. Bridner during ninth period, and then having to make it through the big crowd of people right outside the doors, and then walking home through the woods.
Where did all that go?
But, most importantly, where did nine years go?? I remember walking into kindergarten, meeting Chelsea, playing with her, walking home from my first day of first grade. It’s amazing how time flies!
When I think about this exciting new journey I’m about to embark on, I can’t help but think what the hell am I doing?!?!.
I guess I’m about to find out.
Just walking around Long Reach today during the science fair made me come to a huge realization; I’m so not ready.
What am I going to do next year? I’m going to be torn away from some of my friends and thrown into a huge new place with (mostly) new people! Everything is going to be different. No more MWTV, no more Mrs. Phillips, no more Writers Guild or Book Club or anything like that!
Everything is going to change. I’m not sure I’m okay with that.
Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody! I can feel the love in the air.
I gave Ashley her Valentine and some candy. That girl is awesome! She’s my true homie. I know I can tell her anything without fear of rejection or embarassment. She’s a real friend :)
But, with Valentine’s Day comes new love. I think a little spark has “sparked”, but I won’t so with whom it has sparked yet, until it becomes offical (if it ever does).
We played with beans in math today. That was wierd. It was annoying because we got REALLY small beans and every other group got huge beans. It was so hard to count out 50 of them!
And, finally, History Day was due today. We turned our documentary in. I think it was pretty awesome, considering that it was somewhat of a “cram” project. I can’t wait to get my grade.
P.S. If you are reading this, you have to get Gmail! It’s the best thing since Excedrin. Especiall Gmail Chat! Just ask Cara! It rocks. Email me for an invite. :)
History Day is due on TUESDAY. ONE WEEK! We have pictures and half of our script done, and we have about 5 hours of work time this week to finish the WHOLE project. The voice-over, the actual clips and timing, all the paperwork, EVERYTHING. Due in 8 days. What’s up with that? We are never going to finish with a decent project. Never ever in eight days.
I placed third in the Science Fair. I’m going to county. :S I placed. I’m moving on to compete against people who are way smarter than me. I know absolutely nothing about my project. I did it in a week. I made up some of my data so it would be more realistic. My board was put together in two nights. Some of my photographs are out-of-focus.
Yet, I’m going to county. Who am I fooling?
And if that’s not enough, I’m still looking for a Valentine. I need a freakin miracle.
Periods 8 and 9 were very cussy (I know it’s a stupid word. I had a big one in my head that began with an “n” but it totally slipped my mind.
In Period 8, we were talking about the amendments to the Constitution, specifically the first amendment. We were talking about free speach and expressing yourself and the Confederate Flag and the Nazi spider and the KKK and stuff and then Mrs. O’Connel says: “Do you think you have the right to go to Columbia Mall, walk to the food court and say ‘Oh, F—- that. Mmmmm, that f——- sandwhich looks f—— good! Hey! Who the f— is that?’” Of course, she just said “F”, not the whole word, but it was HILARIOUS! Especially since it was coming from Mrs. O’Connell.
And then in ninth period, we were talking about an author’s voice, and the mad voice, slow voice, and fast voice, and Mrs. Hutzell gave us one cuss word that we could put into our angry voice writing (bleeped out, of course) and then she started to tell us how we all “slip” sometimes, and she learned not to because she’s teaching kids, and how she was brought up in a non-cussing environment, and then how she only heard her parents say “damn” (and yes, she actually said it) once, and then how she confiscated a game from a student her first year teaching and started to play it and lost and said “shit” (she almost said it) in front of the whole class. It was hilarious!
Keeping with the school theme, happy winter break and Merry Christmas Eve!
