I've been really stressed recently, but I can't pick out anything specific to say what I'm stressed about. I've been losing sleep, and I've been gaining the missed hours of sleep when I get home from school, so then I'm up restless all night. It sucks. D: Sometimes, if I feel really down and low, I go to bed to forget about it and take it away.
I'm also doing a bit of research, to really see if I have a lot of symptoms of PTSD. Meh, we'll see. I've noticed that unfortunate memories of a recent past return to haunt me for hours upon end at night, when I'm lying in bed. I don't know how to erase them; unless I got a complete memory wipe... Half the time while I'm lying there I wish I could just get this "memory wipe" and forget about everything. But I can't. As much as I hate to accept it, it's what's helping me gain experience to continue to be empathetic and in relation to how somebody else feels. I've cried for the past few days now, but I can't tell you for what reason since I have been crying for no apparent reason.

I woke up this morning, and I grew depressed after conversing with mom how Academic English is overly difficult for my mind to handle. I might have to drop to the College level again, which will probably just discourage me.

One of my friends on an online forum I visit on a daily basis told me that "what happens is out of your hands, you're your own independent person and the respect you deserve is something you should think of getting. You sound so negative, but be positive, make new friends - and if people from your past goes off and does whatever, it's no longer your concern. It's their issue now. Don't worry about them."

My friend serves a strong point. Therefore, I'm currently going to continue leaving fragments of my past behind - and I don't care how long, or how painful, it is. I'm going to do it, even if I need aid from buddies. I need to learn how to stop being frozen in my past and I have to warm up to the future that lies ahead of me.
I have a lot of friends on that forum. And I love them all. ^^

But anyway. Not much happened today. As soon as I got at school, I felt instantly lightweight when I saw my friends by the main doors and all that.

For English tomorrow, we're going down to my school's theatre to watch a musical production my school's putting on which is called "McBraveheart". It's a parody off Macbeth, apparently. I'm awaiting it with great excitement. ^^

Musicals + Shakespeare (two of which I adore) = <3!!! :)

I've also gained a strange obsession with llama's now. XDD Thanks to "The Llama Song" (look it up on Youtube or something. XDD) And I was singing parts of it in Computer class and went out into fits of giddy laughter. But that's me for you. :)

And now... I will share a little part of it with you...

I was once a treehouse,
I lived in a cake,
But I never saw the way,
The orange slayed the rake!

LOL! XD I kept singing bits from it, and Becca thought there was something wrong with me. XD

News from... My relatives, I guess! XD Both of my cousins are now officially ENGAGED! :D I`m so happy for them!! ^^ But unfortunately, I don`t think I`ll be able to attend the wedding - since they live in Alberta. I'm only in Ontario. ^^
And the really cute news is, my cousin who has down-syndrome (he's like, 19 now or something) was asked to be the ring bearer guy for a wedding. Isn't that just cute? :)

Anyway, for school, we're getting course/option selection sheets sometime this week and we have to fill them out so the school will know what courses we want to take. I'm thinking about taking a course that has to do with studying the human mind, how it works, etc. But I don`t know. I`m going to look into it some more tonight. I`ll keep you posted, though. :)

Oh, and as you know, I`m reading Hamlet. I was scanning through certain bits and it's REALLY... Sexual. 0.o But, hey, that's Shakespeare for you! :)
But, I guess you'll just have to deal with it! >: D But don't worry, I'm not going to insert anything that seems OVERLY inappropriate. So don't worry. But really, I can't wait until I get this whole Hamlet/Ophelia POV started! :)

Re: My day... Again.
Not sleeping must be going around these day's. I have had a problem sleeping for the last two nights. I think that it must be stress. We get things on our minds and it just goes around and around and we just can't seem to get rid of it. In other words we think it to death. Well I think this is my problem. If you have been stress out about something Im sure that is your reason.

About getting the old bad stuff out of your head the only way that happens is if you face the person or person's that put it there. Alot of times the past comes up and bites us on the nose. I had a bad child life  and I have only one thing I did not face and that comes and haunts me ever so often.

The past is the past and we can not change it all we can do is look at it and say to ourselves is that this can not hurt me unless I let it. Don't let it bother you everytime it comes up put it back in it's spot the past and go on with your life. Don't let the past rule your future.

I hope you have a good night tonight as do I.

Re: My day... Again.
You are right when you say that what happens in our lives happened for a purpose and when a certain thing is over, no matter how much it hurts, time is the only thing that will erase the feelings completely, and sometimes you carry some of them always, even though in a smaller measure.  You just have to learn from it, and yeah..you will be able to help others going through similar situations.

And about the crying. Remember it may not only be the incident that is keeping you crying, but everything happening at the same time, that makes you feel overwhelmed. And also, you are right in the middle of your puberty, and hormones serve a great significance in your life right now, unfortunately.  They can make you giggle one moment and burst into tear the next. So, Emily, don't think you are alone in feeling these yo yo tendencies...I think it happens in the lives of most young ladies such as yourself.  You will learn to cope with the surges as you get used to them.  You will still have them, but you will come to know what they are and handle them.   Sorry, but women just have to grow through it if they want to be mothers...sigh...

You mustn't think that you are a failure if you need to go back a level in your English. I think you are more than bright enough to do the college level, but with everything else you have to do, it may just be a bit much.  But it is your decision to make, and you must not keep worrying about disappointing your parents and so on.  It is better to get really great grades on something you can cope with, than to stress over the more difficult thing and have less desirable results!

And as for dear Shakespeare, and Hamlet; maybe I should read it, since I like sexy stuff, hey? 

I pray you have a great day tomorrow; I am so glad you have good friends and feel great around them. One is only young once and I want you to enjoy it as much as you can, while you can. As you grow up you have more and more responsibilities and it's not always cool, so enjoying the "teen" stuff will serve to make great memories for you when you have to 'GROW UP' .

Love and hugz coming your way, my friend.

What Up, Girlfriend?

Re: My day... Again.
Uh huh. Sometimes I'm just PMSing or something, though. XD But still, about the horomones thing, I keep forgetting about that... I actually feel really happy and giddy at school, for some reason - but when I get home, that feeling seems to fade and I try to sleep the "lowness" off. I bet you, even tonight, I'll end up falling asleep - due to lack of it originally, and that I have nothing else to do and I am bored out of my mind. XD

Actually, the College level of English was what I was in last year. And like I said, my teacher thought I was so bright, intelligent, and had such a rare gift that she hadn't seen in years that she pressed me on to move up to Academic - which is actually the University level, and I'm in that right now. Overall, my grades are fairly decent - I actually got my report card back, and i got an 86 in my Drama course! (That's an A.) Mom always says that she's always been proud of me, but even more so once I entered High School. I went from failing grades in elementary school and they just rocketed up to high B's and low A's when I reached High School. Not sure why that is. Maybe it had something to do with the environment in elementary, because in High School, you get a lot more freedom and you get to choose your courses as each year passes - which, of course, lets you follow a career path you're interested in. My mom even told me recently, since I plan to attend College, that she said that College/University is 20 times better than High School. And I can tell you that High School has held some of the greatest times of my life (so far). So I greatly anticipate that!

Lol, maybe. But since Shakespeare isn't quite down your alley, I recommend reading something "famous" first. Like R&J, for example - I find is my current favourite of what I have read of Willy's works; because I just find it's really interesting. Also, if you plan to start one day, go to a bookstore and look for the "No Fear Shakespeare" versions of the plays he writes. Not only do they provide you with the original play, but they modern english version beside it - so even the dimmest could find their way around.

Loves n' hugs to you, too.

Re: My day... Again.
So you think I'm dim, hey?  Giggle...I am  just kidding, really!

I think that your grades shot up because you were happier, as you said and mostly chose subjects you like.  You are doing well!

And yes, you are totally independent and responsible for your own well being.  Most teachers don't even care if you turn up to class, because they say if you want to fail, it's up to you...so it automatically causes a greater sense of responsibility in those who want to do well.  Some teachers dock your points each time, but still don't punish you or anything if you don't show, otherwise.  One does  not always make a whole lot of friends if you are in a community college, but when you get to the "program" you choose, and are with the same people day after day, you do develop friendships then, especially if you have the time.  Some people who have to juggle work, a family as well as school will have less time, but there are plenty of others who will be your age.  I think you'll like it!

How did you like my little talking smiley I sent you?

Re: My day... Again.
I didn't mean you were dim by recommending that modern english version. Even I buy the ones with the modern english, because if I didn't, I would be entirely lost! And yeah, I think I'll like College, too (not thinking University will be quite available for minds and intelligences like mine. XD But yet, I'm looking into Colleges right now and trying to see what "course requirements" are needed in order to apply for courses that I want to get into... Hope I'm lucky. :/

And yeah, that smiley was cool.

Re: My day... Again.
Well, I hope you will be lucky too; you deserve to be with all the work you put into your studies.

And I knew you weren't calling me dim...just joshin' ya!

Here's a colossal hug for you, m'dear!

Love You This Much
