So, basically I'm going to write about whatever comes to mind. This may be completely scattered and confusing, but oh well.

I was accepted to my first choice college, so that stress is gone. But now the senioritis is kicking in and it's only January. A new semester started last Wednesday, and I'm liking my new classes a lot. Except I became accustomed to leaving at 2:00. Now I have to stay until 3:30 for cooking.

Schedule:

1.) AP English Literature.
2.) Library Aide.
3.) AP Human Geography.
4.) Food Service I.

I've been feeling really bad lately because I haven't spent time with my grandparents in a really long time.

One of my mom's co-workers has a son in the seventh grade who needs help with math, so I'm going to tutor him. I'm exicted for that.

I'm as sick as a dog, but it's stupid to miss school because making up work is 10 times harder than just sitting through the school day. My mom did a throat culture to test for strep but it has to sit for a day, so if I do have it, I won't get my anit-biotics until tomorrow.

For AP English, we are reading Frankenstein, and the way that Mary Shelley writes is KILLING me. She uses so many unnecessary words that just make the meaning harder to undersand.

Claire's mom found out I sent Claire a birthday cake and she is not happy. If her mom doesn't let her talk to us, I'll be angry and sad.

It's also Bella's 17th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, again.

Scattered and Stressed.

Okay. Not to bitch, but things just aren't going my way.

I stayed home sick from school for the first time in a while on Monday, leaving me behind in my classes. I have a huge AP Calculus test tomorrow, 2 final drafts due tomorrow, and an oral speech in AP English. If you didn't know, I am not could with expressing myself verbally. I prefer using written words. So this speech is stressing me out.

Oh, and I'm still sick.

So today, I was walking to my car in the parking lot and notice that my tire is a little flat--turns out it was very flat and the ride home didn't help any.. So when my dad got home, he and my brother went to about 4 gas stations--all which find it acceptable to not have any air in their pumps. So, my car is in the back of a gas station parking lot.

Now I have to get up 45 minutes early tomorrow and take my mom to work so I have transportation to and from school.

Finally, while printing my papers tonight, the printer decides it is gonna spaz out and run out of black ink. So it took me an hour to fix that and print out my papers--which are printed in navy blue. Haha.

I know this whole blog is very scattered and confusing, but I just need to get this out and I have no other outlet.

AND, I have been singing the song "Roses" by OutKast since Saturday. That song makes me giggle. : )

Random.

Lyrics that summarize my life at the moment:

"But they'll realize jealousy has taken over their minds." -Demi Lovato.

"Hold your own, know your name, and go your own way and everything will be fine." -Jason Mraz.

"Finding more and more truth in the words written in red... You can't tell me it all ends in a slow ride in a hearse." -Brooks & Dunn.

"But I sure soaked up every minute of the memory we were making. And I count it all as time well wasted." -Brad Paisley.

"I've been giving out chances everytime and all you do is let me down." -Taylor Swift.


Yesterday, Gary (ForSeriousGary) posted a blog about the lack of proper English used in everyday Internet conversations. Improper grammar and spelling on the Internet pisses me off as well. Proofreading a twitter, IM, or text message takes 5 seconds and may prevent you from making a mistake that could change the meaning of your statement. And then there are the people who invent their own freaking abbreviations that cannot possibly be understood by anyone but themselves.

However, what irks me more than that is when people seek confidence on the Internet. For example, when someone posts a picture of themselves on Myspace/Facebook and types the following caption, "I hate this picture, I look so ugly." You do not hate that picture, if you did, you would have never posted it. They are just searching for people who will tell them that they look beautiful. Ugh, it makes me mad.

Sidenote: This is not directed to anyone. It is influenced by my overall experience on the Internet.
