Day 73 and 74

Day 74

I didn't realize that it was Wednesday till I arrived to my 7th period.

Not the most productive day in the world but it was alright. I guess I'll tell you what I did today.

1) I cleaned(the workout) 110 lbs in weight training, my new max.
2) I climbed a wall to unlock a door in one fluid motion.
3) I slept through my alarm clock.
4) I had my counselor write a letter or recommendation.
5) I now have to play the waiting game.

That is all for this day and now onto yesterday...

Day 73

I was so active yesterday that I didn't take my picture so that I could run to my mom's house then get on the bus to get home at a different bus stop.

Later I got home and played Team Fortress 2 for an hour and a half.

Then I went and met up with a friend at Starbucks.

Afterwards I went to my crew meeting.

In the end I hottubbed with Elizabeth for about 10 minutes then she left, but she could have stayed longer, but alas she did not.

That was my productive day.

Day 72: And Reality Comes Back

I had to school today for the first time in a week.

I totally remembered that I have college stuff to do and school and other things. I also found out today that I never finished signing up for the ACT or the SAT and I missed the late deadline for the test sign up in December which is the last one I can take that colleges will accept. I am in trouble. This means that I will either have to start school in the Spring or wait a year to go to school or go to a community college. None of these I want to do. Why must things be so hard and bad and to top it all off I don't have enough money to go on my band trip to play at the Kennedy Center. I feel so distraught and and sad and angry, Why must things be so hard?!

I hope things get better...

Day 71: My Ukrainian Substitute Teacher and My Assistance

Mr. Abigana was gone today so we had a sub today. She is from the Ukraine and I asked her about her accent and I told her it was Ukrainian and she was surprised, really surprised. I already knew she was because I remember Mr.A saying it all the time and her almost undetectable accent. She was really surprised that I have four music classes a day. I think she was a great sub and hopefully she'll be the one to take over for Mr.A when he leaves next year.

Today during lunch I helped Eka the Gerogian. I taught her how to use MLA style formatting for papers and works cited pages and she was really happy. She called me her savior and that she would remember it for the rest of her life. It was weird that she did. She said she couldn't express her gratitude for me helping her that she actually gave me a hug. I was surprised by it, but I knew she was truly grateful for me helping her. I actually felt proud. It made my day.

Next week is Thanksgiving so I do not have school so expect nothing from me.

Day 70: The Eastern Bloc

I could talk about my day and how it went and my epic quest to find a toilette in my school, but no, I will talk about three foreign girls.

Today we had three girls talk about their home countries and they're all from the eastern block countries.

Eka, the Georgian. She is a girl from Georgia(the country). She is a senior who came as a foreign exchange student from a company called FLEX. Georgia is Greek for farming land or something like that and they have amazing videos and their food involves meat and cheese and they had an armed conflict with Russia and people died and traditional Georgian dancing clothes for women look like Disney princess dresses and involves a lot of dancing. They are cool. She is my classmate and sits diagonal from me.

Anastasia, the Russian. She gave my class a presentation about her city in Russia called Aksay. It is a suburb in a city and there is golfing and a military museum and a WWII memorial. Underneath the city there is a labyrinth and no one knows it's origins. It was once used by the military, but then everyone died and no one knows why. They also like to remix opera and make it techno. Anastasia gave me her Russian flag. It was awesome.

Natasha, the Ukrainian. According to her, Ukraine is the breadbasket of Europe by having the most fertile fields in Europe and mostly farming . The Blue represents the sky and freedom while the yellow represents it's vast grain fields and fertility. They are also cool because their ancient warriors had pony tales and she feels homesick by looking at the train station picture in her city makes her homesick. I wanted her flag, but it was big and she needed to, but because of her I was able to get the Russian flag.

All of the minus Eka go to Pioneer. They are all really cool girls and their accents are pretty cool.

That reminds me that tomorrow in music I'm going to have a Ukrainian violinist as my sub...

Day 69: The An Intense Essay and Britannica

This is how I felt as I ran to the bus with Simon and realized that I could not take my picture.

In the past I have written about my torment of writing essays for my English class, well I wrote a four page essay that was about Pro-Life and Pro-Choice view points of abortion. It took me only 6 hours, but worth it.

I've gained a new nickname, Britannica. Yes, exactly like the encyclopedia. Mr. A decided that i just know everything that I am the new Avery(I'll explain him and his genius later) that I might as well be an encyclopedia and he's going to call me Britannica from now on. I've never had a nickname before, but Britannica still sounds cool.

Day 68: More SMG, Post-Modern DnD, and A Horrendous Book also, Choir Sucked Today

Left-to-Right: Jose the Antihero, Kevin(me) the Hero, and Simon the Hero of Heroes

So more Stock Market fun in Mr. Johnson's class! We were given a worksheet to do and  my monitor was acting up and it was flashing green and I'm quite sure the computer was having a seizure.

On the bus ride home today Simon and I talked about a post- modern game of DnD that he's been working and was explaining the world and the future and crazy nonsense and a dragon meteor that divided the U.S. and a guy named Mr. Johnson who is not an Econ/ Gov't teacher. It's all getting quite exciting.

*If you feel you get offended easily about any political or religious reason, ect. please do not read the following paragraph*

I have an essay in my English class due Friday(I do way to many in that class) and it has to be a minimum of four pages and I chose my book about abortion titled Abortion: Opposing Viewpoints. It has scared me. I have learned more about certain things that I would rather not know about because of it. It earns it merits by having both Pro-Life and Pro-Choice views on each subject of this matter. My brain still burns from it. I need to write this essay and be done with it.

I forgot to mention that singing in Choir today was horrible. I was, nor anyone else was content with this rehearsal. It was just a bad day for singing. We gained new a member though, straight from Reno, Nevada. 

This blog post was absolutely not in chronological order.

Day 67: The Stock Market, Essays and Physical Punishment

Let me tell you about my Economics class. For the first 30 minutes or so of class we sat in out desks as my Econ teacher tried to print some papers and bash his computer. So we went to the library to diversify our stock portfolio. It was a great period. That is all.

I have an essay due Friday on a book that I have yet to read for my English class, and I barely picked a book out today. I need to read it by at least tomorrow night or Wednesday and then write an essay. Isn't my life great? Hooray for procrastination!

While we are on the topic of my English class we started a new article and this one is about physical punishment as a for a discipline. We debated all period and everyone gave their "ethos" as they made their statements. I felt like I became closer to them today, I know more about their upbringing and about their lives and their families. I feel like a bond was made. I guess I established a social link with them.

Did I mention that my book is titled "Abortion"?

Day: 62-66 I Don't Even Know Anymore

Thursday or Friday:

I still don't remember this week. I remember frustration after frustration. I don't even know anymore. I think I have too much stress about everything, which is stupid. I remember having a concert on Tuesday for the Veterans. That was just about it. 

I think there may be something wrong with my head.

Day: 57-61

Halloween(Monday):

Tuesday:

Thursday:

Friday:

The only day worth noting is Halloween in which I sat on Elizabeth's couch and awkwardly listened to her mom talk about their long lost cat which they just found that day, which is good, but it was just awkward, so awkward.

The rest of this week I felt miserable, very very miserable. For stupid reason because I have a stupid head with stupid thoughts and stupid frustrations that are just stupid. Stupid.

Ghosts and Sanctuary

This week, was just bland and uneventful and not that special and filled with busy work. I don't remember any of it.
