Changes

I need a new layout for my blog.

Right now I am stuck doing the homework I've been putting off since the beginning of the semester. Mainly in my English class. Now it is all due Monday. I really need to hurry.

Oh. Last night I had worked on two book reports also for my English class. I got to school today and looked for them. Nowhere to be found! I came home and they were neatly folded underneath a book. It really pissed me off because I even wrote super small to fit all I had to say about the book. Grrr. I told my teacher about forgetting my papers and he said I was trustworthy and reliable so he let me have it my way and turn them in Monday. That will probably give me time to re-read A Lesson Before Dying and writing a book report on that as well for extra credit.

It's been done. I will be auctioned off for a fundraiser. I hope someone buys me so I don't look like a lame loser that no one wants to be with. The other two boys participating have expressed their concern about same-sex bidders. I really wouldn't mind, unless . . . yeah.
At first I wasn't going to do it but Ms. Jesse said I should. I hope I do get some money, ehl-oh-ehl. Actually, I hope Huggins lets us do this. Because it's an awesome idea and a great fundraiser. If we have more sexy people it would be so much better.
"Heeey!"

Oooh! Today during fourth period I got to somehow flirt around. My friend Summer wasn't there so Josh went and did me company and showed me his new electronic device. It's some iTouch thing. Really cool though. We played little games and I beat him on one. I think it was something to do with memory. And then! Ooohness! Andres came up behind me and was looking over me. You know what I mean? Like me sitting down and he leaning over/behind me with his head like right on top of mine. I felt special, ehl-oh-ehl. I really don't think he's gay at all, but it'd be nice.

Music was okay. Somehow Ms. H's speech on Improper Moments To Cry seemed to have been directed at me. She even fixated a look on me while she said to not cry. She stared for like an entire minute! Even people noticed and they started laughing. Some were asking me not to cry right there. I didn't.

I had chicken nuggets today for lunch.

Japanese was cool. We had a cute substitute in there. He was young so that helped. I didn't want to bother him so I didn't even ask him his name. We did watch a cool movie though. Not Grave of the Fireflies because that would have been embarrassing and awful. For some of us. Or most of us.

SMOGEE. Since we are done teaching 7th graders we are going back to book work. I brought mine hope so I could hopefully finish it (ha!) during the weekend. Along with all my English and Journalism work due!
Turns out we also have a final for that class. It's not necessary. But Environmental Science is fun and very interesting.

Techoir after school! I had some free time and tried to play J.S.Bach's Prelude with April doing the flute solo but it turns out I was playing something different. I've been told to play what I know and that it should still be fine. I hope so.

Rehearsal was kind of fun. Silly jokes and silly people are awesome.

Angel pays a lot of attention to body odor, I think. Or maybe to the really bad ones. I should start bathing in cologne from now on, hehe.

Don't Feel Like It

I really don't feel like saying anything, mainly because there really isn't much to say. Except that Japanese speak really fast. o.o

I think this week is Tech Alumni week. Or something. Casey, Edric, Keegan and Danielle all showed up. Some at different times, of course. It's nice to see them again.

Tomorrow is April's big 18th birthday! I made her, another, birthday card. I was going to write an entire note in Japanese, then realized that I am really not that fluent. So I'm sticking with English. At least I can write "Happy Birthday" in Japanese.

Weee, Fall Concert tomorrow. And Dress Up day. I am definitely wearing green just because Angie is also wearing a green dress. I'll have Technician stuff, probably band clothes too. Yay for Dress Up day. I wish every Friday was Dress Up day.

I was happy to see random students with random socks on today. It really cheered me up, and the first thing I thought of was Ms. H.

The Cannon's publication deadline has been set back another week. If people can't do stuff, they really shouldn't! Ms. Jesse, seemed real upset about it too. And she saw me after school today and told me about it, she also offered me a ride home. I already had one coming though. She's real nice. I love her.

Ms. Frank isn't back yet. Yay.

Joshie gave me the coolest hug ever! I loved him for that, but I couldn't really hug him back; I was in some type of headlock I guess, while my hands were holding a book.

Homecoming this Friday! Can't wait! We get to show off! Color Guard, I mean.

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!
James Vaughn- Feature Editor
Jasmyn Powell- Opinion Editor
Titilayo- Business Manager
Ariel- Layout Editor
Angie Huizer- News Editor

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.

Raise your right hand 12 p.m - 1 p.m.

I have failed to tell my faithful readers that Josh has written, in my agenda, little assignments for me to do. I've done a few of them, but not all of them. I definitely didn't smoke crack or get herpes that Friday afternoon. Today was "Raise your hand 12 p.m. -1 p.m." He expected me to do it, be he never saw it; I was in a meeting.

Journalism was pretty meh today. We read a chapter on Feature Writing, same thing for which I went to IU for a week. Yeah. I don't need another review. But the chapter did give me some ideas for next issues.
Because I felt this reading wasn't very productive for me, I decided to work on questions and sources for my next story: Illegal Immigration at Tech.
Pretty big story, huh? And hard too. I talked to Ms. Jesse of having another name for this story as well: Andrew Rod

U.S. History was pretty meh-ish today too. We worked on easy stuff, like always, and we are taking a quiz tomorrow and reviewing for the chapter test.

English 11 was kind of funny today. Our teacher was making sexual comments on a student's Poster Project; it had horns and a semi-nude chick with a house and a car. Yeah, I drew the same conclusions.

Peer Tutor-much! I pretty much mess around with people during this period. Or they mess with me.
The girls, as I will call them from now on, accidentally dropped a few items on the floor. I hadn't noticed this because I was helping my ENL students. So when they called me, and I saw the mess, I was all "Really?" The Girl even took her belt off and dropped it on the floor for me to pick up. I just went ahead and did it. Whatever.
Then Joshie was messing with me too, kinda. He was popping my fingers, as I say it. It was kind of funny until he got to the used-to-be-broken index finger which didn't do anything but it still hurt like hell. I think I got a total of three huggies from him. He smelled good too. I love Joshie.
People are noticing about me too.
They all laughed when he got up and gave me a hug, because of his tallness, my face was buried almost underneath his armpit. Quite funny. And I had to leave because of that meeting.
Nothing important, just to apply to UofI. I don't want to go there, but they did give us pizza and drinks.
I missed music though, and seeing friends, and a specific person. -sigh-

I did get out in time to go to Japanese! We studied, as we always do. April made me a box. It looks more like a tray, but she called it a box, so hey, it's a box!

Then Adv. Env. Science. It was kind of fun but hectic. Everybody is always talking and we have 73 college-level-thinking questions due in two days! They are hard! But I'm stuck in it.

School was over, and I was struck with surprise because I was able to go home early! That is like the second time so far in the year! Wow! It did take me a while to find my bus though. But I got home safe!

So far so good!
I'm going to have fun tomorrow "Speaking in Rhyme"

[Insert Title Here]

I woke up at 5:40 this morning and "worked out" a little bit. It didn't work because I was sleepy and as soon as I got on my carpet I took a short nap. Tee-hee. I did do 50 crunches and 20 push-ups though! Then I got dressed and was ready to go at about 6:25. We didn't leave until 7:10 though, because my dad started his new job and he doesn't need to be there until 8. So that means I eat breakfast at home now.

The Cannon arrived today! Actually, Ms. Jesse picked themit up and had me go fetch it from her car. I think we got 500 copies. I really don't think those are enough copies. But then again, not the whole school reads the paper and people can share.
We saved about 80 dollars by doing the folding ourselves which turned out pretty well because all students helped out and we were done in about 10 minutes and we had time to plan out questions for the next issue. Our deadline is October 7th!

4th period was "Weee" This is when I am a peer tutor and get to sit down. Actually, I help two ENL students with their tests and work. And I get to see Josh too. He said he was hungry so I gave him a lollipop. He told me he was going to think about me while he ate it. o.o
Freak-girl was all "O.O" at me today. She doesn't get the fact that I don't like vajayjays. On the other hand, I do like the attention.

Then Music. I was feeling pretty down during that time. I really don't know why. But I'm glad my friends noticed and were asking me what was wrong. I just needed a hug. Thanks Audrey!
Then we reviewed some old songs. I think we should really do Footlose. It's a cool song. And the ending is awesome.
Ms. D liked The Cannon as well. She kept it over lunch and let Ms. H borrow it too. They both like it.

Sensei wasn't at school today so we got to watch Porko Rosso. Meh. I don't remember what I was doing the whole time though. Oh yeah, looking through Shaquelle's manga-looking drawings. She can draw. I told her she should make a Yaoi (Manga about gay boys with explicit scenes). She said not yet.

Then Advanced Env. Science. We worked on definitions and now we are reviewing for a test. I hope I do well. I also got my Interim grades; all As and a C. Oh well.
My teacher gave us all notebooks that she obtained from Teacher's Treasures. Sensei does that too.

After school I had nothing to do until four so I went up to the music hall and worked on some homework.
Ms. H asked me to go get her a Snickers bar from the vending machine in the custodian's "hang-out spot" I knocked on the door and this lady opened it and then she saw I was a student and asked me what I wanted. So I told her that I was getting a Snickers bar for Ms. H. The B told me to tell Ms. H that she was going to have to go get it herself so I backed up, pulled out my cell phone and asked her if she wanted me to call Ms. H so she could tell her so herself. She said nevermind and let me go in. That's right B. Don't mess with Ms. H.
I told my story to Ms. H and Ms. D. They were all "dang!" about it.
Since Ms. H had given me enough money to also buy myself a Snickers bar, I bought two. But I told her she could keep it in her fridge because of the custodians. She wanted me to keep it, but she was behind her desk, and her fridge is by the door. So I just stuck the Snickers bar in her fridge and told her no. She loved me. I think.

She also wants me to get a Mariachi band for Arts on the Green. Cool, huh?

Then Band! ^^ We worked on awesome stuff. And we are so much better with real flags than swing flags. I think it's because we had to flags and they kept sticking to each other.
We warmed up a little. And I can still feel my "abs" twitching a little. Yay!
Tomorrow rehearsal until 7. She said if we did well, we could leave earlier. I hope so! I'm taking my jug of water this time. And some clothes that I am comfortable getting dirty.

I got home at 7 and ate. I just got done with my English project but I still need to glue on some words. Easy. I do need to memorize Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech though. That is like 1,000 points. Double if we do it right the first time. I already have the first paragraph done.

No Steven-enjoying for me today. Maybe tomorrow. I'll take my vest and take pictures with him.

Random Fun Stuff

I think I loved fourth period the best today.
Much attention was paid to my ass by a few girls and Josh. It was pretty funny at first, but then -I am self consious- I started covering it up.
There is a girl in that class who thinks I am the hottest thing she's seen on this planet. So she and these other two girls kept calling me and after a while they started dropping their pencils on the floor and asking me to pick them up. It took me a while to realize that they just wanted me to bend over and see my rear end. Even Josh asked me to turn around in place to take a look at it.
So this girls know about my sexual preferences, and when the dang-you're-hot girl saw me hugging Josh, she called him a Son of a you-know-what. Just playing, though, but a little too far. I do love Josh though. I don't think he knows how much I do though.
There are also two boys in that class who mess with me when I pass out folders. One of them is cute, the other one is just hell-no-biotch.
Josh was wearing a green polo today O.O He looks good in color.

Baby pictures are cute. Especially when they are crying.

Lunch was meh. I always act like a ghetto little biotch during lunch. It's funny. Sometimes.

Japanese is getting better. We can actually ask and answer questions about school, life, and more random fun stuff. I want to go to Japan sometime.

Today I ran The Cannon's meeting. It went pretty well, until everyone decided to leave after stories were assigned to them. Turns out we will be receiving the paper Friday morning and we will do the folding ourselves. I just want a copy! I hope it looks great.
Then some random boy tried to go in the room and eat our Oreos. Effer. We were fin to cut him too. Shooo.

Band was a mess. So many people are quitting that Baldwin has to rewrite the whole thing probably. It sucks. Oh well. Maybe we could try to incorporate the Color Guard with the Band shapes. But then again. We'll have 6 ft. poles spinning around. Yeah, maybe not the greatest idea.
