Pep Rally @ MindSay

..of the pep rally, despite the threats of being dragged to the office from the principal over the intercom.

 

I got my lab done, but I did it in Physics Class and at lunch, which to me is almost as worse as not doing it at all or handing it in late, because it just took me away from other work I should have been doing... >___>.

 

Whatever, it is my own damn fault. I don't deserve sympathy for neglecting my priorities.

 

Anywho, so day 3 with playdough and still only 1 eyelash pulled and that was on the first day with it. Unfortunately I pulled so much out the previous days before the playdough that I can no longer successfully hide all my bald spots. But yet again this is my own damn fault and I don't deserve sympathy for this. I just thought I'd inform the internet over my petty little problems like every other spoiled teenager.

 

Ugh negative thoughts..saying shit about me being a spoiled teenager is almost as bad as me bitching about my problems, because it is yet another attention thing. *sigh*.

 

But anywho, I'm out for now, and hopefully the next time I blog (which will be probably in a few days) I'll be a better person.

 

Till then,

that's pep club if anyone's wondering.

and it's basically my DREAM to be president of it! oh my gosh. it's like getting into Chico University. it's like being Senior Editor of the school yearbook. it's like lettering in Track all four years of high school. it's what i'm gunna do. it's what i will do. it's not a question. it's a statement. i will do it. i will be an officer in Pep Club.

only it was ruined today after school. i fucking chickened out. CHICKENED OUT.

i feel like a fucking retard. i cannot believe i did that. just because (i won't say their names) B and S were in there. just because two people in all of Pep Club dislike me. i can't believe it. i didn't even go in. i didn't even touch the doorknob. i didn't even say anything to Krenka today at practice. i just looked in for two seconds, saw them, and chickened out of joining Pep Club. just didn't. i don't know why. two people? two people in all of Pep Club. why? why??

i have no fucking clue. i just. i don't know. i'm not the type of person to let others stand in my way of things i'm going to do. like i said, Chico State, Senior Editor, Track...nothing. except this. i mean. gosh.

i mean. i don't want to join something where i know for a fact that there are people in there that hate me. who does? that's stupid. like a white person walking into the ghetto. or a black person in the middle of a KKK gathering type thing. who would do that? that's stupid.

but who is seriously going to let someone stand in the way of something they've always wanted to do either? exactly. i don't want to be the person to say "oh i wanted to do that but B and S were in it so i didn't." no. no. no no no no. NO. that's stupid. i'm not going to do that. i'm not going to be that type of person.

and then again. i'm already in track with both of them. and i mean. jeez. it doesn't bother me that they dislike me. it's just that they have no reason. absolutely no reason. i seriously don't care that they don't like me, i care that they dislike me with no reason. i don't even care WHAT the reason would be. seriously. even if it were the fact that i'm gay. okay that's a fucking stupid reason but it's still a fucking reason. and that's their problem anyways.



no. i've decided. i'm joining Pep Club and i know i can't be President but i'll be Vice President.. i'm gunna text Krenka right now.

I took another math test today, and I think it went a LOT better than a 57.  I'm sure that I'll at least pass this time.  I felt more focused than I have in the past by a bit, so that helped.  The periods were shorter today because of a Pep Rally that was going on, so our math teacher asked us to make plans to finish the test during lunch, study hall, after school or a free period.  Since math is my last class, I asked if I could stay through period 10 which was fine with him.  It felt a lot easier since I could really take my time.

Lab is a huge pain in the butt at the moment.  On monday we took a plastic see-through box and put this little volcano model in it.  Then we filled it with red-colored water in increments of 1 cm, and drew contour lines on the clear lid of the box.  That was allright, but then the teacher told us that we had a til friday to make our own model.  Specifications:  A) May not float in water  B) May not dissolve in water  C) Can't ruin the box (apparently some kinds of clay do this)  D) May not have any overhang (will mess up contour lines) and E) must fill the entire box.

I wasn't entirely sure how to do this, and when kids in the class asked him what they should make it out of, he got all ticked off and said "I dunno guys, just DO somethin'!"  So I went out into the shed with my dad and we went through some of his stuff.  We found some interestingly-shaped concrete blocks that looked like they would give us some good contour lines, so we took some epoxy and glued them together.  Took them in the next day, REJECTED.  Apparently it had to fill the ENTIRE box, and I hadn't heard the overhang part which the rocks had.

I forgot to mention that he told us to bring it in to him to make sure it worked BEFORE lab on friday.  He told us this wednesday.

Thursday is when I brought in the rocks.  I went home that evening with some new specifications in mind, and my dad and I went back out into the workshop.  He got a sudden idea and dumped out his trash bucket.  There was a block of cement with some old grout on top of it, with barely any overhang and a little bigger than the last one.  I had no other choice so I took it.  Again, it seemed like it would give good contour lines.

I brought it in this morning, and set it in the box - only, it was too wide, by about 1 centimeter.  I tried sort of chipping it off on the edge of my chair which didn't work.  So now I was screwed.  What was I supposed to do, measure the box and build something exactly that height and width?  I guess that's what he wanted us to do, but I think he should've specified, because I just figured it had to fit in the box and be a good size for making contour lines.

I ended up just borrowing my lab partner's model - well, that's what I thought I was going to do, until his model started floating in the red dyed water after about 6 cm filled.  We managed to finish his diagram so I just traced over his and made my lines slightly different.  Heck, the science teacher doesn't know what it's supposed to look like because we make the models, not him.

I know it was partly cheating but I don't feel bad at all.  It was partly the teacher's fault for not giving us ideas.  I've gotten really mad at him lately, I think he's a terrible teacher.  For one thing, he's really dry when he talks in his monotone voice, droning on about the mantle and the crust and the core.  When you ask a question, his attitude is "you should know this by now, you figure it out" instead of helping you like he's paid to do.  Maybe it's just his teaching technique.  I understand how on a test he would feel like that, but in class when he's showing you things, I think he should help you when you need it.  That's why everyone in the class does so horribly on tests, because they're too afraid to ask him and get yelled at.  Then he yells at us more for doing badly on the test.

The whole lab thing is pissing me off, but I'll just have to deal.  I just have this feeling that it's going to be hanging over me all year.  There's a huge amount of pressure, as the teacher is very, very strict about format and order and everything.  If you don't underline the right word or put the right page in the front, you get points off.  It all seems ridiculus to me.

My dad said he got my midterm results.  "How'd I do?" I ask.  "Great!  Except for one subject, I was really dissapointed in."  This was a little weird, as it wasn't like my dad to talk this way to me.  "Want to try to guess which one it is?" he said.  "Oh and, by the way, you're wrong," he added before I'd even started.  "Math?"  I said.  He shook his head.  "Science? Spanish? Global? Gym?"  Nope, nope, nope, nope.  The only one left was..."orchestra?"  He said yes.  I started laughing my head off.  It's really funny to me that I got a 79 in the subject that I'm best at, and better at it than 99.9% of the kids in there, but I still got points off because I missed a lesson or two.  Ah well, I don't care.  I almost missed my lesson again today though, because since it's on an irregular schedule (it cuts into your normal schedule) I never remember.  I went to all my classes as usual, then in 4th period Spanish the phone rang on the wall.  My teacher picked it up and said a few things including "right now?" and "I'll tell him."  She made her way towards me as she was checking homework, and said "that was your dad, he says you have a lesson right now."  Oh snap.  I was ten or so minutes late, which isn't too bad, and the teacher didn't seem to care.  I went to meet with my Spanish teacher after school to get my homework and look over my last day's.

The pep rally was pretty fun, but I couldn't hear anything over the constant screaming.  It was fun, though, to jump up and down on the bleachers yelling "FRESHMEN! FRESHMEN! FRESHMEN!" in a chant with the rest of them.  We were last place in most of the contests, like costume day and class color day, but that doesn't really matter to me.

Gotta go eat dinner now.  There's more to write about, but I'll do it another time.  Again, I'll post my midterm scores when I get them.

Heyy,

Well I forgot to mention that we had a pep rally yesterday, it was kool...

Well my mom is working and I'm listening to her talk to her customer (my aunt) about my grama (Mina) who has alzheimers, and my grampa (Allen) whos in the hospital....they're getting their licenses takin away soon apparently......grampa has to be put into a home, and that means grama will be put in shortly after. my aunt (Cindy;not the 1 here) thinks that it will kill grama being in a home!

Yesterday had to been the best last day of school I have ever had in my untire life. Not the school part.. but the part I spent with my friends afterwards. Well school was rather gay because Mrs. White wouldnt let us go anywhere in the school and it completely sucked cuz everyone else was allowed except us. A lot of people got in trouble for wearing sandals to school.. and even some people were spagetti strapped shirts and short shorts.. yea bad people. The pep rally was sorta gay. We were only on the field for a minute at the most. But I got picked for a game! We had to run around and try to pop each others balloons. Since i cant run well I just stood there and looked cool, I did the same while being out lol. So then after school I went to the gym with my dad to do some working out, which wasnt really that bad. I think Im going again today too. After that, I went to the movies with.. let me try to name EVERYONE lol.. Devin, Jarrett, Laura, Tommy, Emily, Alex, Ben, Tori, Andrew, Jillian, Grant, and Mike.. I think thats everyone lol.. and if there was more i think there but oh well. We saw X-Men.. and about half of us already saw it once so everyone else who did see it were getting mad lol. Some dude yelled at us for talking and shit lol. Afterwards, everyone but Alex and Ben went to Garfield's. That was pretty fun too. After that, me and Jarrett got in Devin's car and went mini golfing! Devin had to be the loser who had to get his ball when it went all the way down the water fall! lol and then Jarrett dropped his to get him pissed off lol. Then we walked up to Devin's house. Its very pretty inside. His pool is nice too, we put our feet in it and it looks like instead of going to Miranda's Party on Saturday, Im coming over Devin's to swim lol. He is basically the kid Im spending most of my summer with since this school year, we barely did anything. We were there til 10. All of us were texting Kent and oh boy was that interesting. We also ran in the rain and I rolled down his hill! lol. They kept stealing my phone too blah. And speaking of Kent.. it looks like he is gonna take me to the movies tonight? Yea I guess so.. we were talking about it last night and I guess yea.. Im not sure if I wanna but Wednesday Night he basically confessed his love to me and all kinds of crap. I sorta wanna wait til Im offically in the highschool if I wanna date him again.. well yea we might go on a date tonight but I dont call him my boyfriend. But Devin and Jarrett said they'll sit behind us or somewhere to make sure I dont get raped.. and if they have to, they were gonna say one of them was my boyfriend hahaha. Wow.. I love my best friends =)
