Love Ya Tomorrow

I was going to talk about yesterday, since I didn't really get to; I spent time talking with Joey instead. She's so cute. I love her.

Let's see (I made a list! Yeah, I know v.v). I was going to talk about the Fall Concert. My last Fall Concert, excuse me. It was pretty okay, until we got to Tech's gospel choir. The first song was okay, but then the second one, when they tried to go into parts, it just wasn't working. I did like the dancers though. They looked flowy.
All the barbershops were awesome. And Concert Band sounded amazing too. Audrey and I were doing color guard at our seats. It was pretty fun.
I thought Technicians were great too. I think I heard that Joey and Matt got the pins. Yay.
Techoir, of course, was amazing.
And Techniques were so adorable! Amber's and Shayla's solos were awesome too.
I saw Robin, Josh's older brother. He gave me a hug! He's so silly and funny.

Yesterday was our first SMOGEE day too. It pretty much sucked. I think so. We are not very organized. And it doesn't help that we have two teachers constantly taking notes on what the high schoolers are doing.

So we got to Tech, and I went to my journalism meeting. Ms. Jesse thought it was very productive; I, again, didn't think so. I need more. And I'm still not done with my story. Whatever.

After that, I walked to the Tennis courts to fetch my brother so we could both go together to Subway. He decided he wanted to play more so I was going to get both of us food. Then Angie asked me if I wanted to go to McDonald's with her. Of course! So we went. It was dress up day and we were both matching! So I escorted her to the counter. It was cute. I can't remember what I did to my money though. Oh well.
I don't know if you've noticed, but if you go down 16th street towards Tech, from downtown, you will pass over a really fun hill. We did. While listening to Hawk Nelson. The song finished just as we landed from "the big jump." It was so fun, Angie was kind of speeding too so it was better. We did that same hill twice last year. Great times.

It was April's big 18th. Happy Bee-Day April!


Today was lame. Stupid PSAT.
My classes were so lame! I had only five in my first class, Tesia and Angie were there, three my second, and I was alone third. I have English 11 third period, so that sucked even more for me. I didn't know where to go, so I roamed Treadwell's hall for about 20 minutes and then decided to go into Ms. Solchik's classroom.
Shanez showed up, and we talked most of the period. Mainly about our lives. I can relate to her, kind of. And she is crazy too. We talked a lot.

Second day at Shortridge. It was much better. Better organized, and less noise. Midde schoolers are just so darn hyper all the time.
There was a fight after school, in a bus. We were making fun of people and how ugly they were. They were just so disgusting!

Today was my first day in the media center this year. I've been done with A Lesson Before Dying so I read Don't Die Dragonfly, I finished it today. So today I checked out The Memory Keeper's Daughter. Ms. Laker wants me to make her a report about it because she hasn't read it yet, but she ordered four copies of this book. That's great.

Shanez thinks Steven wouldn't reject me. And I will only know if I ask. She does have a point. But then again...-sigh- I don't know. I'm tired.

OMG it's Friday

I skipped yesterday's entry, mainly because my dad was in one of his usual let's-do-something moods. He's always like that, always wanting to do something, fix something, change something, clean something. It's kind of annoying, because he drags everyone along.
So yesterday, after he had picked us up from school, we had dinner and then did some homework. It was 8:30 at night and he decided to clean the house. I was so tired, but I can't argue because he'd get mad at me and privileges would get revoked.
I ended up dusting my room though, and now, I can actually breathe in there. It's not that it was dirty, but I never go in there unless it's time to sleep so I never move anything around but my book and glasses. So everything gathers dust.

I can't remember much of yesterday either. I do know the Technicians are performing at the zoo for Christmas at the Zoo. It will be awesome, I think. I can't wait.

And I fully understand Ms. H and her Spirit Week speech. I truly believe it.

Let's see, ummm, my U.S. History teacher, Ms. Frank, is still not here. Wow, those were a lot of commas. Anyway, if she doesn't show up on Monday, our sub will be back. And I hope our sub comes back because I learn more with her than with Frank.

Our Japanese test today was pretty difficult. I got a 9.8. Apies got a 9. I think we need more time learning the vocabulary she is giving us.

Ms. Brown wasn't here today, so we didn't have Techoir at all. Two students took advantage of this and still stayed after and talked. At least that's what I saw. And that's what I want it to be. I'm giving up. I don't know what to do. I wasted time by not telling him. Now he's making his move. I think I'm a fool.

Band is looking effing awesome though. I hope we do well tomorrow. I'm going to try and take lots of pictures for my scrapbook/facebook.

I love my friends. Thanks for keeping me going. I haven't cried today, yet. I'll try to be strong. But I feel depression a-comin'.

I Have a Dream

I have to memorize MLK's speech before Friday! For a grade! I get double points if I do it right the first time, and also, I might get ten dollars from my teachers.
It's not that hard, I already have more than half of it memorized, but it is time-consuming.

I just got done checking Facebook. I read Steven's note. I think he needs a big hug. That's what I'll give him tomorrow morning. Along with a short note. I sympathize with him because this is pretty much how I feel most of the time. I didn't want to put a comment on his note though, because he's already got advice, and it's good advice. I'll just what I'm planning on doing tomorrow. I do hope he understands me. And I hope I don't chicken out either.
I feel bad today, because he went up to me while I was talking to someone else, and I kind of ignored him. And then he left. I should've done something. Hugged him. I don't know. I feel like a bad friend.

On to a more cheery subject, kind of.
Since I'm working on an "Illegal Immigration at Tech" story, I need to research immigration laws, citizenship procedures and stuff like that. It's going to be a big story and it might not be ready for this upcoming issue. So it kind of sucks, I do have a "List of Clubs" that I put together. It might not have my name, but deep down I'll know it was I who made it!
The Cannon might gather on Oct. 7th to celebrate our hard work.
Ms. Jesse used the title "Editor in Chief" for me! That's my new title!

I don't think I got a single hug today from Josh. It's okay though. I don't want him to get sick of me. I did help a lot though, and I was helping in both English and Spanish, so my brain was all "quat?" Think about it.

Music was okay, I used this time to be all up on Joey's neck. It just smelled so good. I just don't think the boyfriend appreciated me being all over her. I might see his reaction tomorrow during Techoir.
Tomorrow! Techoir! Announcing of the musical! Yay!

Japanese-much. Sensei was talking to us about the toilets they use in Japan; you have to squat on the ground to get "stuff" in there. And there is no toilet paper, instead, there's a jet of water going at like 100 mph up your you-know-what. Not really that fast, but you get my drift. The class thought it was funny. The class, of course, consisting of only four people. We're awesome though.

Science, again, working on test questions.

Band was okie-dokie. We worked on charts. I just hope we can work on the drill tomorrow so the color guard can show off!

I love seeing my "mentee" Every time he sees me he has on this radiant smile, and he brings up his right arm to salute me from far away. It's cute. He's cute. He's a sophomore. From El Salvador. Guillermo Garcia. I love his hair. He has a fo-hawk.

Also, today I finally finished Dean Koontz's One Door Away From Heaven. I really enjoyed it!
Now I'm going to read A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gainese. It's also from Oprah's Book Club.

Message to Steven: I love you.
