not much today. just kinda went through the usual stuff at school. we finished reading a book though. and on the bus alot more idiotic stuff happened that kinda just annoyed me. but it was funny.

I've been talking to my friend a lot lately about my problems with my brother and how much I despise him(my brother). I kept having to apologize to him today because I kept running my mouth. He's such a good listener though! Nobody EVER lets me talk that fast for such a long period of time! EVER!!!

HOORAY!

Finals are over!

And now comes the painful time after taking the test and before seeing one's results.

Bleh, that's never an easy time. :P Best thing to do is to think about it as little as possible and not worry about it. You'll get through it, believe me. :)

Thank ya muchly.

Sooo...I got some of my results back today, and I guess I did okay, but I'll let you be the judge. :D

English: 93%
Biology: I don't know the exact score, but it was enough to push my overall grade up by 0.8% and my exam grade up by over 2%. So I'm glad.
Spanish: 93%
Internet: (Whenever people find out what my elective is, they give me these really incredulous looks, resulting in my explanation that Using the Internet has more to it than what the name implies. [HTML, Internet history, and whatnot.]) Don't know what I got for the entire test, but I know I got an A on the typing part.
PE: A
Geometry: 100% for the written section, 93% for the multiple choice section

93's look kind of bad, a low A.
Hmmm.

hey, internet class isnt just typing class at your school? lucky lucky lucky you.

not much here. same old same old. but on sat. we had academic team, and i got 5th in my district for SS. so im off to regionals

Sounds pretty cool. Got pics? (of the ninja plush, I mean). :)

cool. were supposed to dress like nerds tommorow. so ill just dress as a geek. so same old same old.

see, I dressed up like a pirate for Halloween and the VP made me take off my bandanna (gang related my ass) and my eyepatch (medical purposes? jerk), so i had to go through school in a white blousey thing, jean shorts, and a moustache and goatee in black facepaint. It was alright though, i'm the guy who walks down the hall screaming "Happy Wednesday!", so its not like i was embarassed. In his defense, we aren't allowed to dress up and i was the only one. It was pretty sweet.

As for current school stuff, we took English and French regents, 99 and 90 respectivley. College here i come!

nice! id like those.

not much today, same old same old. just kinda did the usual. test on friday though, so ill be back with that

My day at school is normal, of course. I doing my schoolwork, and I'm typing my final draft of my Personal Statement in the computer lab for English. I'm working hard like everyone else. That's my life at school.

Awww, they're adorable! Nice job! :)

I've just got to say that "Gimpy the Ninja" is the most awesome name I've heard all month.

I LOVE THOSE NINJAS.

And of course, the dosage of drama just arrived: Drama Girl was crying for almost the whole afternoon crying and screaming like a 2-year-old because she wanted to play on the bikes but we had to play hockey first.

How it went:

Drama Girl: NOOOO! HOCKEY'S BORING! I WANNA PLAY ON THE BIKES!!
Gym Teacher: Stop it. You'll play with them...after hockey...
Drama Girl: NOOOOOO!

And it was like that the whole time.

nothing at all today, because we had a snow day today.

well, thats it for now

I GOT THE HIGHEST SCORE OUT OF EVERYONE ON AN ALGEBRA II TEST!!!! THE MOST DIFFICULT TEST OF THE SEMESTER, AND I GOT A 104!!!! WAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

....Okay, I'm done. :)

school is super rific.

Geez I sure do love school...

JAY KAY HURR HURR HURR. However I am loving chemistry and astronomy :D

not much today. got another snow day today!! super special awsome!

and the teachers said on wed. that there was a small chance of having any snow the next day. idiots

They're all so sweet. The emo one really touches my heart. :frankiesmile:

My day at school is quite boring. I can't wait to start my weekend.

I'm sick, and I could go to school today or yesterday. Now, I have two days worth of homework... but since I couldn't get them today, I have to catch up on Monday, which is the day my three cousins will be at school. My uncle enrolled them Thursday... and it takes three days for the paperwork to be signed or something, but it is something about being transferred from one school to another.

Being in the sixth grade can be a little boring, but it's actually great to be there.

For me, currently, school is kinda very suckish. A word of advice: Irratic 13 year old boys, who don't give a toss about their friends if everybody else loves them, can be some pretty nasty people. ESPECIALLY if they get jealous easily *falls over*

School sucks horribly...and I'm a TEACHER!

I teach at two different schools, a half-hour's driving distance from each other. The first one I have to go to is 45 minutes from where I live, and that's really pushing the envelope insofar as speed limit goes. I have to be there at 7:00 am for bus duty. I have two Art classes, one eighth grade and one sixth grade, and the eighth graders are the only bright spot of my day, since it's a small class, numbers-wise, and they are pretty much self-motivated. They can sit and talk in reasonable voices and still get their assignments done, and don't give me any "lip" about what they have to do, or keep talking when I ask for their attention. Unfortunately, I only have them for 50 minutes, and then the sixth graders come in. There are about 30 of them, mostly with the mental and emotional maturity of two-year-olds, just in bigger bodies. All they want to do is fight with each other, name-call, run around and play like they are at recess, and encourage each other to fight. I had a big fight in there today, between a boy and a girl...yeah, they're still at THAT stage, where girls and boys hate each other. I can't physically pull them apart, since some parent will accuse me of putting bruises on their Little Precious, and I can't just leave them alone to duke it out, since a parent will accuse me of letting their Little Precious get beat up, so I'm in a no-win situation. I had to forfeit my lunch time today to talk to two sets of parents, which is so not a good thing, since I'm diabetic, but the Principal at that school has made it clear that she could care less. I normally have 10 minutes to eat, then I have to leave to drive 30 minutes to the OTHER school. I do not have any break or planning time other than the time spent driving between the two schools, and I get ONE paycheck. The school district does pay me forty cents-per-mile for gasoline, though. Both schools, but especially the second one, are riddled with gang activity, and are put under lock-down on a regular basis by the police. The parents see teachers as the "Enemy", out to "get" their little sweet babies, but then, most parents are involved in some form of criminal activity, too, so any authority figures are distrusted and disliked. Many of the kids come from abusive backgrounds, yet the state holds TEACHERS 100% accountable for the students not doing well on the state's ridiculous standardized tests. Parents are not held accountable at all for the kids THEY brought into the world; they don't even have to FEED 'em-the school has to take care of that, winter AND summer!

Did I mention that the district office does not budget any money at all for the Arts? Guess who has to pay for Art supplies for TWO schools? Go ahead...I bet you'll never guess it...

Yikes... I'm really sorry to hear, PBL. :(

yikes...seems like your getting the shaft PBL. Here in NY its waaaaaaay more liberal (for better or worse), so more teacher-friendly (for better or worse). School still sucks, although i read an interesting quote from one of our Founding Fathers saying something to the effect of "public education is a tyranical nation's dream".

whatever, math is killing me. Course B is a muderous, cutthroat class. 73 is me doing as WELL AS I CAN! At least i got a 73 both quarters, haven't gone down :D

Since i dropped Physics my schedule's been far less complicated. 2-3 study halls/day. Niiiiiice.

Today at school, I did work in all my classes. I worked on some math work at math class, Took some notes is U.S. History, played volleyball in P.E., practiced drawing skulls in art class, and worked on worksheets in Environmental science.

lets see..

3 tests in algebra, some kind of drama thing i guess, and Social studies. other than that, not much.


OH YEAH, JUST REMEMBERED. we played dodgeball in gym today, and i got hit uh.... well.. i guess right where it hurts. but other than that it was good.

hehehe...don't listen to the stiffs, Vanny.

Anyone ever see "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"? I'm going to order a pizza a la Sean Penn's character nearer to June. Fun times. Last year i hit the pizza place and drove back to the parking lot after our last regents in june. Grabbed the folding lawnchairs i stuffed in the back, rolled down the windows, popped in some Zeppelin, and we had a pizza party in the parking lot. Stinkin' commie VP shut our fiesta down, though.

About a week or so ago in Homeroom, our seats got reassinged and now...I get to sit by Zack! He sits one seat up next to me. I am so happy! And guess who I'm fortunate enough to have sit behind me.... SHINKY. That horrible, annoying, abstruse, "gangsta" wanna-be. He has a brush and says he's gonna comb my hair with it. Now, if he ever, EVER touches my hair.....
Anyway, few days ago a girl, she's one of my friends who sits a seat up from me on my other side, she looks over and says with a grin "Zack, don't you like Tonya!"
Zack looks down and gives that smile, that sweet little embarassed "Yeah...!" kind of a smile. Then another girl turns around who sits a few seats up from me and says "I think Zack likes you!".
I say "How do you know?"
She says "He keeps staring at you."
I smirk and say something like "Riiiight, me and all his other allegid women."
Then a little while after that somebody mentions something about me singing "What I like about you" to him, and then all the other girls pitch in and tell me to sing it. I shake my head, smile and say "Naww, I'm not gonna sing to him..."
Zack looks over at me with a grin and says "I just love you!".
I grin and shake my head a little and say "You're being sarcastic." About 3 or 4 girls in the class say he's not being sarcastic and after them he tells me "I'm not being sarcastic"
.....I still don't know what to think of it......I will ONLY believe that he likes me when I hear it from HIM and HIM ONLY. Untill then, it's a guessing game.

What a sad story. I sincerely hope everything works out for both of you. Keep us updated, okay?

you are so in with that dude...

good job!

I love Shakespeare! Once you start to dig ye Olde English, you start understanding it and WOW! Great story. I really recommend "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", "King Lear" was good, too. I'm going to start "Romeo and Juliet" soon, and then mayhaps "Hamlet". Great stuff.

IMHO pipe tobacco is the greatest scent in the known world. Cigar smoke comes a distant second. Cigarette smoke can nauseate some ppl because its a bit harsh and cheap when compared to the cigar or pipe, but i personally like it.

In high school a bunch of us went through a "cigar phase". Definitely a more pleasant aroma than cigarettes, and a lot easier to give up. :P

My friend tried to inhale his cigar 8D priceless.

pipes all the way. I was eyeing a nice one made of a knot of oak, like an old German design...but i forgot where the tobbaconists is. Seriously. They had a staghorn one, too, i think.

You think that's bad, try making tea out of cigarette tobacco. Now that is seriously nasty stuff! Burns the hell out of your throat when you drink it, and there's a good chance it'll burn again in a few minutes when your stomach rejects it. :P

Okay, I'm done being off-topic. Anything new about Drama Girl? :D

I LOVE Hamlet!:P

On Monday, possibly.

Hmm school. I'm failing math! Wow wow wow! I looove math! That was a lie. No I don't. Hey math. STABSTABSTAB. You won't be hurting anyone anymore.


Oh and all my friends are really unhip and unfashionable. They obsess over dumb things. I feel like the sixth grader standing in a second grade class room. Emotionally and mentally, they're all at the place I was at when I was twelve. Interests and everything. They even DRESS like I did then. It's so frustrating. I don't even need friends. They're all disposable. I just started ignoring about five or six people this year, two of which were my 'best' friends and I don't really care. I don't like other children very well. I kind of think I would be happier if I voiced how lame I think everybody is and spent the next two years with no gym partner and sitting by myself at lunch. But then, who wants to be the loser with no gym partner?

I'm just too great for the world. :[

wow...welcome to MY bloody world! I've snapped and said nasty things to friends before. I realized i hate all people yesterday when i was buying a machete at the Coleman outlet. I'm heading for the hills, no people around!

Save the drama for yo' mama, cuz here comes DRAMA GIRL!

Basically, she was good the whole day, until this happened:

Hyper Kid: Hi green-eyed-monster!
Drama Girl: AHHHHH! GET AWAY FROM ME! (hard-to understand shrill yells)
Hyper Kid: Hi *Elena!
Me: Hello. :D

So then after he leaves, Drama Girl sticks her tongue out. I dunno if it was for me or Hyper Kid, but it seemed like it was for him. So when I see this, I walk over to her, and give her a look. She gulps a little at this.

Me: Look, he doesn't know any better.
Drama Girl: Yes he does!!
Me: No, he doesn't.
Drama Girl: He's a bully!
Me: I just told you, he doesn't know any better. :frankiemad:
Drama Girl: HE'S-A-BULLY!
Me: No...YOU'RE THE BULLY HERE.
Drama Girl: I'M NOT A BULLY!
Me: Calling someone a "bully" and sticking your tongue out at them like an immature five-year-old? He doesn't do that to you at all. YOU did that to him.
Drama Girl: I'm not going to say this again to you, he's the bully!! Not me! I never did anything to him! He's the one whose doing things to me! ME!
Me: Oh, grow the hell up, will ya?

And for the rest of the period when we were in the english class, she didn't say a word to me and vice versa. All we did was read books and eat some cookies. Yes, cookies. And everytime she looked at me she'd give me a "Hhmph!", along with a short eye close, neck stiffen. I gave her the same exact thing, only nastier, and when I walked off, I shot her a death glare, causing her to gasp in shock.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know that's a bit going over the edge, but I don't give a crap. I'm pretty freakin' happy for telling her off. Comments? :terrsmile:

*Elena is my real name.
