Hey, hey,

Wow, I haven't written in here for a super long time.  I've just been busy with school (HIGH school, now, aren't I impressive?), and we got a new computer recently and I pretty much forgot about this site.  But anyways, we're already more than halfway through the second marking period, and I've enjoyed it so far.

I ride the short bus in the morning, but it isn't with any kids with disabilities.  It's just ones that live in an area where the buses don't usually go to.  I love my homeroom.  My school is, like, obsessed with pot, and everyone in my homeroom talks about it all day.  It's slightly amusing, in an odd way.  These two people I sit in between are sorta potheads.  Their codeword for it is "CDs".  Today, one of them was like "we should listen to some CDs before we go to the dance".  Then, the other one said "I think I have money to buy some more CDs", but he used bong in the same sentence, so I was getting a little suspicious.  My first period class is Keyboarding/Technology.  My teacher is super annoying, but I have a good grade in it, so I can't complain.  The fastest I've ever gotten was 103 words per minute, and the record in the school is 111, so I'm hoping to pass it.  Second period is Comm. Tech.  It's really easy, but I thought it would be different than it is.  The only reason I took it is 'cause I was friends with some guys that were and I needed another elective.  Third period is probably my favorite, Spanish.  I have a 100 in that class.  I'm pretty good but it's getting tougher.  Me gusta hablo en espanol.  I know, that's not very complicated, but it's the only thing I could think of right now.  I also sit in between like four adorable guys in Spanish, so that doesn't detract from the experience.  My favorite is the guy who sits right behind me.  He's totally charming.  But just for the sake of being respectful to him, I'm gonna call him Steve for a while, even though that's not his name.  Steve has had a serious girlfriend for around six months who I don't like very much, but he always flirts with me.  Well, I don't know if you would call it flirting, but he always talks to me, and touches my back and draws on me and stuff.  Steve considers himself a "goth", and he also has a problem with cutting himself.  He's always depressed and if people annoy him, he gets really pissed, but he's so sweet if you're nice to him.  I wish I was his girlfriend.  Fourth period is lunch.  Ugh.  It's my least favorite period of the day.  I don't ever eat anything.  Why bother wasting 2+ dollars a day on something you don't like?  I just switch tables every day, too.  Business Applications is next.  That class is pretty cool.  We're doing accounting in it right now.  Then, we have math.  I suck at math.  It's pitiful.  History is next.  God, this year history is kinda agonizing.  Our teacher just gives us lectures and we have super hard tests.  That and participation are the only things we get graded on, so my grade on the last report card was a C+.  For the past few weeks, we've had a sub 'cause our teacher's getting eye surgery.  The sub was pretty cool until today, when we turned into an asshole.  We had to do a 2-3 page report on a certain incidence of prejudice in the country.  I was in a group with two other girls, and our subject was Leo Frank.  We had two class periods to read the article, take notes, and write the final copy, so naturally, I was the one who stayed up until 11:30 finishing it last night.  Then, today, we had to present them in front of the class.  One of our group members wasn't here, so there was only the two of us.  Our oral report was supposed to be loosely around 3 minutes long.  Our final draft of the report wasn't even three pages, double-spaced, but when we read it, it took what people said was 6 minutes.  I talked to one of my other friends on Yahoo today, and she said we only took like 30 seconds more than we were supposed to.  After me and the other girl were done with our report, he said "It was great except you went three minutes over the time limit and should have looked at the audience more."  I was like, Fuck you in my head.  He really pissed me off.  Every group took more than 3 minutes and hardly anyone maintained fairly good eye contact with the class.  We shouldn't have even had to present today; our third group member skipped school.  He sorta spoiled the ending of my day.  Then, in science, we had a totally tough test on the interior of the earth.  I hate when I know that I've failed more than two things in one day.  Last period is English.  It's pretty enjoyable.  We had a super cute sub today.  He was a student teacher at the middle school last year.  We are writing a story geared for 1^st through 3^rd grader, so I just helped this one girl color a picture.  Then, we came home.  And my neighbor had to come over and spoil my night.  But I did talk to my best girl, Steph, on the internet for like an hour.  She started getting homeschooled in like the end of October.  I was bawling for days when I found that out.
