So Bored of This Thing Called School

Today was just a regular old school day. Nothing very exciting. It is STILL raining here, as it has been for the past 3 to 4 days, so it gives me a chance to act lazy and tired and do nothing. So that's nice. 

I really see no point in liking CT. The school year's almost over, and I definitely won't see him over the summer, so there's no way we could go out. And there's also the small problem that my parents don't really want me to date. So that would suck. I think he also kinda sorta maybe completely hates me. So yeah. And it's not like I can just ask him, "Hey, do you like me more than a friend? Oh no, sorry, I can only date you for the week we have left in school. I won't see you over the summer." 

That's really all I have to say guys! It looks like we're gonna get hit with a massive storm, so I'll see you tomorrow!

Scary Events and The All-Important Question

Hey! I just got back from my school award ceremony an hour ago, so here's all the important stuff that happened. 

1. I got 1 award*. I'm not complaining, but most of the other kids in my grade there got at least 3
2. One 8th grader got at least 9 awards. It's ridiculous how smart he is.
3. I had to walk up on stage, in front of everyone, and I was wearing a skirt. You can imagine.
4. The dude I like wasn't there. And he was supposed to be. He was supposed to be impressed by my skirt.
   

The all-important question that I'm talking about in the title is of course the question "Does he/she like me?" And I, for whatever reason, have been thinking this question quite a bit. Just like any middle schooler for that matter. I really don't think he likes he. Even though his friend joked today that he like me. I was pulling the whole "Who does he like because my friend likes him and she wants to know?" thing. And his friend replied, "He likes you." I then asked if he was kidding. And he was. Urg. If only he knew how much I DIDN'T want him to be kidding. 

Let's just call the dude I like CT. Why CT?, you may ask. He has extremely curly hair. So CT stands for Curly Top. Of course!

Bye Guys!

* My award was for having straight A's all year long. I got a cute little medal and everything. The rest of the kids with more than 1 or 2 awards got them for Math Mania [a math mini game-show/thing], Science, or something else productive. 

I Hate Titling These Blogs

Hey! I'm not stressed now. So that's refreshing.

I finished the science test as of 6:45 this evening. It really wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. 

I went to the mall today. Not just the regular crap mall either. No. The awesome mall in Tampa. It's shaped like a massive H, except at the top and bottom, there are little connectors. It's set up like a town. Each of the connectors and the left and right lines are named as streets. Main Street, East Main Street, West Main Street, etc. I got a swimsuit that I think I look horrible in, but whatever. It's a bikini. You can imagine.

 I finished Catalyst on Friday, and it was good. Kinda sad, but pretty good. I finished Tan Lines today. It was pretty good too. Not as good as Beach Blondes, but still, good. I started reading 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson today. It's EXTREMELY entertaining. I'm not that far along though. I'm only on letters 5 and 6 I think. I've read 15 books this year. So I think I can make the 50 books in one year minimum. Maybe. 

I went to the pool on Saturday. It sounds really exciting right? But it actually WAS. There was this guy there with these 2 girls. And guess what he was wearing? A Speedo. A jungle green-patterned Speedo. I KNOW. The mental images are just so disgusting, right? I was laughing so hard underwater. The younger kids were kinda in my way when I was doing my laps, but it was ok. It's not like it was lap swimming time or anything. It was Family Swim time.

STRESS STRESS STRESS

Hi everyone. I'm really really EXTREMELY stressed at this time. I have so many tests.

In 7th period, which is Science for me, I have this MASSIVE unit test due on Tuesday. It's 350 questions. It's nothing compared to the SAT/ACT, I know, I know. But still. It just looks so scary. 

I have a rainforest project in 2nd period Geography, but it's not too much. I just have to take a product, find out how it relates to the rainforest, and then spread the news to students at my school. But we can work with partners, so it's ok. 

I have a quiz tomorrow in 1st period Language Arts on Tom Sawyer. I think i'll do ok. 

For 6th period Reading, there's nothing really stressful. It's just my easy A class. My teacher is a very nice woman, but she sometimes [or most of the time] loses control of us. We're studying poetry still. It's really interesting actually, because she'll have us dissect a poem and share our thoughts on what it means, and some people have really cool opinions. 

4th and 5th periods are EASY. They're Tech and Spanish. I don't even get grades in my Tech class. If you don't bother the teacher, he gives you an A. Piece of cake. Spanish is really easy too. My teacher loves me now because she had me last year for Intermediate, and now she has me in Advanced, so she knows I'm not a bad kid or whatever. 

In lunch today, my friend couldn't open her container thing for her food. Every single person at our table tried opening it, so we asked the lunch attendant person. He couldn't open it, and he played in the NFL. We even tried Steroid Sam. HE couldn't open it. He's like, STRONG man. It was just grand fun. Poor Koni. She couldn't eat her lunch at all.

I Cannot Wait

I cannot wait until school gets out. For my own personal safety, I shouldn't really go to my school. It's just plain dangerous. But luckily, school gets out in 14 days and counting. 

Nothing new has really happened very special in my life lately. OH! I did get a new bookshelf on Sunday. So now I don't have to have random piles of books piled around my room. Even though I still insist they gave the room character. 

I just finished reading Beach Blondes by Katherine Applegate. I was in fact interesting. Very very interesting. I'm getting the sequel, Tan Lines, shortly. [And by shortly, I mean in an hour or so] I'm also getting another book tomorrow from Becca called Catalyst. I have absolutely no idea what it is about, but she says it's 'amazing'. So it MUST be good. 

I really truly think I have OCD. I spent all Sunday evening organizing my dresser drawers and my closet. I feel so proud of my self. All of my boxer shorts that I sleep in and all the shirts I sleep in are all folded into perfect little squares. The closet was a different story. I had to move this little TV stand/thing into the closet so I could fit my new bookshelf in my room somewhere. But the clothes would have NONE of that. I had to put all the winter stuff into a storage bin so I could have more room. Even though there is NO possible way that I could need a sweater in July. NO WAY.

 Today in Spanish, Scarlett and this 8th grader messed the teacher's phone up and put the cord around it and stuff. And they know very well that I have to fix all the stuff that's messed up. Hence, the OCD. Anyway, they wouldn't let me fix it. I felt so bad. I REALLY wanted to fix the phone.

BYE!

Um...Hello....

Hey! I really should write more blogs. Anyway, I have some stuff to talk about. Kinda. 

It's almost Mother's Day people! Make those mothers feel appreciated! I can't tell you what I got my mother, because she could obviously hack into my blog account/read it, and then she would know what she was getting, but just know, it's very nostalgic. [=

I just finished reading Maureen Johnson's new book Suite Scarlett, and I have to say, it was a very very good book. Like, a  very³ good book. Yeah. Superscript, baby. I'm currently reading some book called Beach Blondes by a Katherine Applegate. By the title, you can probably tell what the book is about, but before you jump to conclusions: it looked interesting. That's all I'm saying. 

School was so ridiculously entertaining today. Starting in 1st period, when we had to present these projects we made for the book we're reading in class, Tom Sawyer. Now, you know me, always up for educating these youngsters about good literature, so I can't dwell on the fact that they really aren't grasping how GOOD a book this is. They just like to make fun of the weird speaking that all the characters use. Anyway, we had to do 1 of 3 things for the project. We had to either make a mix CD for Becky Thatcher, make a wanted poster for a character, or a business card for one of the characters. I did the CD. It was actually quite fun. 

There were a few other events that made school entertaining as well. My various friends and I have been maybe just a little harassing this 8th grade boy at lunch. Just maybe. It was his fault. He was the one that kept looking over at my friend when she was just sitting at our table like he was madly in love. So, what else are we to do? Us, the 12-13 old girls having nothing to do at lunch except gossip about who's going out with who, who flirted with who like a slut, etc. So, we harassed him. And now, they're going out. So a lesson we have learned from this is that if your friends harass the guy that you like/likes you, magic ensues. 

The other event was that we learned about poetry in Reading class today. I was simply thrilled, as well as my table-mates. [It sounds like we're little kindergartners, but really,  our teacher just pushes the desks together into 4 desk tables so she can have room to walk] The rest of the class however, didn't seem to enjoy this lesson. We learned about Shakespearean and Petrarchan Sonnets. And Iambic Pentameter and sestets and octaves and quatrains ad couplets and it was just grand. But then, some kid had to make a joke. Ugh. These youngsters these days just have no respect for good literature and/or one of the most beautiful and creative forms of writing. We also dissected a poem to figure out the rhyme scheme, which was fairly easy. Not to sound boastful, but my teacher even praised me for telling my friend Steven that his name was not in fact Iambic Pentameter. It was kinda the opposite in a way.

Long Time No See

Hello Internet! It's been a while. Anyhoozle, straight into some new things that I have just discovered that are oh so sexy. OH SO. 

Sexy:

• This guy. Sexy in the most nerdy and awesome way.
  
• Guys that aren't afraid to show a sensitive side. And that have intense/compassionate eyes. 

Sorry that list isn't really much of a list, but that's all I could think of. So yeah. 

Does anyone ever describe the guy they like in detail to yourselves when you're bored? I did that all of yesterday. I feel like I want to write it down, but it could be found and then the whole secret would be out. And that would be oh so dramatic. And since I go to the school I go to, I have an ample amount of my daily serving of drama. 

I'm turning germophobic. The stupid swine flu is making me scared to death that I'm going to get it, and no, I have a mini bottle of hand sanitizer that I carry around with me at all times. THE WHOLE SITUATION IS THAT SAD PEOPLE. So far, there aren't any cases anywhere near the county in which I live. Just in Lee and Broward counties. 

Edit: There is a few cases in Hillsborough county now. Oh Dear. 3 schools are temporarily closing. Ok. I'm officially in Freak Out Mode. But more about in the paragraph below.

I have several modes I can be in at any given time. Mode names and causes below. 

Freak Out Mode: Caused by anything that could cause harm to me. [Ex: swine flu, possibly being raped by the tech teacher at my school, etc.] Also can be caused by anything that could mess up my grades, social life, etc. 

Happy Mode: Caused by anything that could make me happy. [Well duh!]. [Ex: hanging out with my friends, finding out the person I like likes me as well, etc.]

Angry Mode: Caused by anything that could make me mad. Now, I don't get mad really really easily, but I get mad at 1) Stupid people annoying me, 2) Teachers annoying me, 3) Things that normally get people mad. 

There are many other modes I can be in, but honestly, I don't want to write anymore about Modes. It seems very boring. 

Why do teenagers have to be plagued by so much freaking DRAMA. Geez. 

We have to do a project for Language Arts. We're reading Tom Sawyer, and we've just passed the part where Becky and Tom get "engaged" and they've since "broken up". [As if they were ever dating!] So for our project, we have to make a mix CD for Becky from Tom. We have to have songs to make Becky think of Tom and make her take him back. Then we write a paragraph for each song explaining why we [or Tom] chose the songs. It's kinda fun.
