I know.
Really.
But I could hardly care less about that kind of stuff. I go to school to learn and get grades.
But the guys always mess with me. They think it's funny or something to go and annoy a person like to me to the brink of insanity? Gosh. I hate people like that. They disgust me.
Anyways, school's not that great when you don't have a single class with your friend who's been your best friend forever. We were having a heated debate over the existence of dinosaurs, and I won it with one simple, calculated sentence. She got so mad. And then she turned around and told me that Foster's was a stupid, cheesy cartoon for little kids.
It took all of my self-control and the restraining arms of two other people to stop me from lunging at her.
So everything's not peechy-keen.
At least I have the highest grade in English and biology.

Eahhhh.... That's not fun. I just rely on my reputation as a genius and as a she-devil to stop people from bothering me. Since I don't really fit in, though, I am sortof the target for getting picked on... but the aforementioned reputation stops it from going too far. It was really sucky back in first and second grade though, because in third grade was when I finally moved ahead a year. The thing is, my three closest friends and I are all really completly different. One is in the whole anime-cartoon thing. She likes Fosters, too. ONe is the whole performing-arts music happy thing, and the other is the sort of semi-goth 'cool' 'in' crowd person, except she's really nice. Since i'm not much with otehr people I don't discuss much of what I do with anyyone except them... So nothign like that gets around to people who wouldn't like it.

Over the existance of dinosaurs? What's there to debate? I mean, unless you bring religion in, which I won't, becuae it dosn't fit here.

SO, back to the topic, which is school...

Well, I have a HUGE load of calculuis homework: a quiz, a take-home test, a bunch of math problems... argh!

The rest of shcool is okay, though. I really want to take digital animation but I don't have the room in my schedule!

EDIT: I go to school solely to learn, too. But I do a lot of tha tat home... i'm not much of a rgade-grubber, so my academic record isn't that great. But i know all of the material... WHich is going to be difficult to explain for college.

I've been a target of those kinds of jokes three times too many. (Mind you, it's only happened three times!)
Yeah, the debate included religion, which is a touchy subject to discuss anytime, anywhere, with anybody. But I wouldn't have started that if she hadn't insisted that our science teacher was evil because he taught evolution! And that's just wrong, especially since we go to public school!!!

And about school and grades -- that sounds like this one kid I knew. He was brilliant. Pure genius. But he never did his homework. Waste of talent. For shame.

Well...

Just a quick note on evolution: it dosn't preclude creationism, you can believe in both at the same time. BUt no more, PM me if you want to talk details.

I do most of my homework, it's just, my range of talent works like this:

If i'm interested in it, I do really really arse-kickingly well. Becuase i'll learn everything i can and always do my best. This is stuff like tree-climbing, math, learning science, reading, and drawing stuff.

I'f i'm not interested, i'll suck royally at it. Becuase I don't care. This includes homework, most sports, and most computer games.

Evolution? Hmmm. Well, as far as the things about sciance on tv, saying they found human skulls that look kind of different than they do now, I wouldin't say that we first started out as MONKEYS, but I would say that our bodies POSSIBLY changed a bit down through the years, like the animals. Considering some of the millions of years old human skulls scientists find all the time. But that's just my opinion...

The other day, Friday, I was standing waiting for some boys to get done with the water fountain, and I heard this one boy say something about drugs, cocain I think?, saying he'd bring some tomorrow. The other boy agreed with him, and the other boy backed away from them and said he wasin't doing drugs. The other two boys walked away kind of giggling, making fun of him I think? I told the boy not to do it. He just kinda looked at me and looked back at them, and then walked away.
I never been around THAT before.

The evolution talk stops now, folks, okay? Don't make me start editing! :)

Yes sir!

Well, I've almost fully finished my history! My goal was to get through the whole book before the second semester, and I've just about accomplished that.

Oh man, I finally get a chance to post here.

All righty...I really don't like how things are going at my school so far.

I'm stuck with this annoying spoiled brat named Jade Granito. She's even worse than the HeadOn commerical. All she does every single day is whine. You can get an awful headache listening to her. I should know, I've been with her last year, and I'm going to be stuck with her next year.

Last Friday,in my homeroom during lunch (they keep me in my homeroom for some reason), every kid in the class gets a chance to go on any of the 5computers that we have. The New York Board of Education recently instaled a firewall to keep kids from going on "bad" websites. Jade likes this one site called "BrainPOP" and she watches educational cartoons on it. But when she tried to go on it, it wouldn't let her. She asked Mr. Smith why, and he told her about the fire wall and stuff. The only site the kids can go on is Yahooligans.

Baaad move, Mr. Smith.

Jade blew her stack, and started full-out sobbing. She stamped her feet on the ground, like a little kid who couldn't get a toy they wanted. She was crying so loud you could hear her in the hallway. She sat at her desk and sulking, pouting, and carrying on.

Eventually she stopped her sulking, and went to to Mr. Smith's desk and smacked her hand down on his desk. Mr. Smith looked at her. Here is a little piece of their convo:

Jade: Mr. Smith, I want you to get rid of the fire-wall.
Mr. Smith: Sorry Jade, I can't do that.
Jade: But why?
Mr. Smith: The board of Ed won't let me.
Jade: I'm going to say it again, Mr. Smith, YOU BETTER GET RID OF THE FIRE-WALL AND LET ME GO ON MY OWN SITES RIGHT NOW!
Mr. Smith: I'm not going to talk to you if you raise your voice.

(Jade then walks off in a huff)

See what I mean? She gets very annoying. That's because she's an only child who was spoiled rotten by her parents, rarely disiplined by them. She also has a bit of an additude, which she developed at the end of last year, thanks to her hissy-fits.

She still carried on after lunch, but when I accidently stepped on her foot in Science, she gave me me a grrrrr under her breath and a glare. I shot the witch one right back in her face, only meaner, then I saw her give me a sad puppy look and didn't say one word to me for the rest of the day.

Sometimes I wonder why my friend Denise calls her cute.

CUTE?! Who would call anyone like that cute? Get them over here, right now. I'd like a word with them.:wiltshock:

You took the words right outta my mouth. Denise would probably kill me for posting that.

Here's something everyone will ROFL at: Jade is scared of Danny Phantom, E.T. the alien, anything that has skulls and blood in it, and the Happy Tree Friends.

God, she's an idiot.

Well, skulls are okay, I guess, and blood I can understand. E.T. scared me when I was little. But Happy Tree Friends is just gross and DANNY PHANTOM? Give me a break. It's obvious she's been sheltered most of her life.

Well, my mom wouldn't let me at first either, with good reason. She thought there was some kind of satanistic some'n some'n in there somewhere.

Well yeah.

I mean, she's afraid of Nickeldeon in GENERAL. SpongeBob and Nick Jr. shows she's OK with, but anything other than that, she'll flip out and start whimpering.

She's obessed with preschool shows (mainly Nick Jr. and Playhouse Disney). Everytime we say something bad about those shows (notable this fake site called "doratheeplorerexploeds.com", she flips out.)

Her parents are trying to make her think her life is one big Disney movie.

Wow, AMAZING! I think we should get back on topic, though, before one of the mods tells us to... Sooo, um, I have two projects for Biology that are due on Tuesday that I haven't even started yet. Amazing, right?

Yeah. I hope you get a good grade. *thumbs up*

That most likely won't happen, but thanks for the support! *thumbs up*

I can read Nancy Drew. I can SLAP read some Nancy Drew! I love a good mystery. But, quite frankly, I've never read Harry Potter, and I really can't say I want to... *prepares to get flung out the window*

I enjoyed biology, although my school didn't have much to say on the subject beyond general nutrition and such. What are your projects about?

I've never read Harry Potter or seen the movies either, and don't ever plan to.

Well, right now we're in a chapter that teaches us about algea and all the slimy stuff. We get to look at it under microscopes, and one day we had to bring in pond/ditch water.

I only have biology every Tuesday, though, so I have a lot of time read up on things. I'm just a major procrastinator is all. We won't have to disect anything until all the holidays are out of the way and we're back in school(thank goodness). I'm not looking forward to that part AT ALL.

I learn general nutrition and all that stuff in the health class I take on the same day at the same place as biology. Just this last week we got to make our own lacto-fermented(sp?) soda! I'm still working on the rootbeer, though, because my teacher needed water for the next class. :)

i haven't even started my essay :-/

We all procrastinate sometimes.
Which reminds me that I'm supposed to be doing geometry right now...
Hmm...I should really stop procrastinating...I'll stop tomorrow...

Today, I got run over twice by security people on bikes. And on my way to class, somebody banged open the door right when I was walking by, so I got hit in the face. And when I went to Philosophy club, I was the only girl...
So I've had better days, I guess you could say.

Yeah...
I know what you mean.

Well, gues what! I have, from Calculus class...
1 take-home test
1 take-home quiz
1 project

from chemistry
1test next week
1 set of problems to do

from social studies
1 current events due tomorrow

Eahhh! TOO MUCH HOMEWORK!

Well... My day itself was okay... I know about the 'only girl' thing, too! Math class was the same way a while back... and not many girls drive motorcycles.

Okay, so there's this guy, Zach who I think likes me, since he always smiles at me and waves. Well anyway, before school started I made up a note, not signed by who, asking if he liked Tonya as just a friend or girlfriend or both.
So before he gets into class, I let a friend of mine put the note on his desk since she manages to get in the classroom before he does. So, everybody gets in the room, he sits down and reads it, then hands it back to her since he's too shy to give it to me, and she gives it back to me.
I opened it up and he circled the "just friends" part. I was so happy! It might not be an obvious crush but, hey, it's a start!
Okay, another girl asks to see it, so I hand it to her, and that other boy, Shinky, he gets up, runs over, and snatches it outta her hand and runs, showing the note to EVERYONE, a note that I wanyted to keep confidential! I was embarrased enough when Shinky did that, well, after 5 minutes getting passed around the room to read and giggle at, the note FINALLY gets back to me.
I opened it up again and in pencil with big letters was scribbled "H*** NOOOO". I sat there, slumped over the note, sobbing silently to myself. Everyone watched me. So the girl who sits in front of me, she tells me not to cry and asks if she could see the note. I give her the note, she opens it up, and asks Zach if he wrote
"H*** NO", and he said no he did not write that. I'm beginning to think Shinky wrote it, but as the saying goes, "Innocent untill proven guilty".

Oh, I'm sure Shinky wrote that. He had the motive and the means.

Hehehe. Today was picture day. I hate picture day. There were two photographers, and both used crude methods of making you smile. One guy had a rubber chicken, and the other guy would try saying things to make you feel happy. I got the happy guy, except he didn't make me very happy. He said, "Okay! Smile, J-Lo." No thank you, mister. Don't call me that.

Anyways, my picture probably ended up looking like a mix between a frown and a grimace. Hehehe. Funny.

I hate picture day. Mya hair always sucks, and i always blink.

The hair sucking part is a fact of life! it's a commie plot, I tell you, they hide under my bed and mess up my hair on picture day.

Of course, I always blink becuase i'm too sensitive to bright light!

yeah... pictures... *mumblemumbleswearswear*

Whew, I am SO glad I'm homeschooled! I don't have to go through the horrors of picture day. XD

well, school sucked today. First I forgot my lab report, then i forgot to talk to a teacher and then i forgot my math homework. WAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I have nightmares about things like that...

Geometry test today. I can only hope I got a high A. I need that high A. Otherwise, I'm going to get yelled at by my mom...

College stuff is starting in school now, so things are going to get a little less fun. I'm trying not to worry about that stuff right now though. Because right now, being a senior, I'm kind of absorbed in my scoial life. Ha. I broke up with my boyfriend 2 weeks ago, but that's okay, because I was miserable in the relationship. I've been having tons of fun with my friends and I'm asking this, well, *awesome* guy to Homecoming, so I can't wait for that! So far, I'm really in love with Senior Year.

I like being a Freshman.

I like being a junior. I FINALLY GET FREE's. Our school didn't allow freshmen and sophmores to have frees, we had study hall. BOOO!!! So basically, i can go outside and draw stuff...

Yeah, I asked my girlfriends about that note and they say it looked like Shinky's handwriting.
The other day, in Homeroom, we had to vote for class senate. So before we actually got to voting, of course as always, everybody was talking all at once while the teacher was doing stuff on his computer. Everybody was talking all at once, some were saying who they should vote for, everybody should vote for them, ect... I heard one girl say "Vote for Zach", and after that I agreed and said "Yeah! Let's vote for Zachery!". A few minutes after that Zach kinda leans back in his desk, stretching his arms out and he looks over and smiles at me. A big, sweet smile by the way. I was SO exited!!! *girlygigglefits*.

This one friend of mine says that Zach DID tell them he liked me kinda like a girlfriend, but he didin't think he was good eough for me and that I deserve better. Awww, sweet!-I think....

Well, good for you. The guy I like is one of my best friends, and he's really shy and quiet. He wouldn't be able to keep up with me because I'm so hyper when I'm around friends, even if it's someone I like. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a clue that I like him as more than a friend. Turns out I'm really good at keeping secrets if they're threatening to my image, which was horrible to begin with. 8-)

As I read your posts, I cannot help but smile sadly.
I don't know why, but that kind of stuff isn't in my nature. Well, it's there, but to a much much much much lesser degree. But that's just me.
Like I've said before, I go to school solely to learn. I put my whole heart into my school work, so I don't really let my mind wander off. When all the other girls are sitting there gossiping and talking bad about each other, I just do my work.
So uh...I have to write my first pre-lab for biology, and uh...it's not going so well. I've already messed up five times on the first page. Not good.

As I read these posts I feel a terrible nostalgia.

Your dedication to your studies is commendable, BlooCheese. It shows great discipline.

But human interpersonal relationships are important things to learn about too. They can be fun as well. You'll work it out what balance is right for you! Good luck with the biology thing.

My Homeroom teacher said that I was the most polite student that he has seen ever since he started teaching. He said he started in 1997. Yeah, I'm his favorite.
Sweet 8-).

I know what you mean! I decided, waaay back in sixth grade, that it would be a waste of my time to try to start a relationship or respond to someone else's wishes to do so, becuase I knew that it would probably just be hormones and i''d seen the effects of all sorts of stuff like that in my grades... and it seems to, at my age, result merely in hurt feelings and so on, and I have enough to deal with that I don't want to contend with this as well.

I'd say I'd have to agree. Anytime a Zach smiles at me, I just supress my feelings, repeating to myself that he probably doesn't like me THAT much anyway. It doesn't feel good, but certanly does feel better than wondering "WHY DIDIN'T HE SMILE AT ME TODAY?". I guess not getting my hopes up actually makes the "boy smiling at me" experince not as hard and confusing. I try not to think about it to much.

I actually don't want to go out with the guy I like. Just because I have a crush on someone does not automatically mean I want to go out with them. I couldn't handle any kind of romantic relationship because I'm young, and as my mom said, "Those kids who think they got it goin' on just because they have a girlfriend/boyfriend have NO IDEA what they're getting themselves into!". That's why I never plan on getting married.

You go out with someone if you feel that you could possibly marry them. At least, that's the way I feel.

Anyway, for English this week I don't have to write a paragraph! HURRAY!!!! Except the teacher gave us a truckload fulla grammar homework in place of it... BOOO!!!! But, anything is better than a paragraph for homework, I suppose.
