Okay, so Friday I spent almost the entire day trying to make up and finish a story about someone selling their soul to the devil. Mine isn't that great, but I guess with a bit more work it could at least be something. Too bad I already turned it in for credit.
My teacher didn't want some big story so that limited how much I wrote. It was only two pages long and didn't have much detail. Except on how the protagonist died a, ummm, horrible death.
Today I spent the rest of the day writing my Illegal Immigration story. I thank the lord that I had previously interviewed people and only needed to put everything together. Now I am thinking of adding more stuff. I think it's okay, overall. It could be better. But then again, I thought it was due Wednesday, not today. Oh well. I had enough time to make another sudoku and its answer to turn in as well. I also have an ACT/SAT story going on the paper. That would be three contributions! Go Editor-in-Chief! Hehehe.
I asked to go to the media center today during Journalism because I get easily distracted by friends. They are just so funny and hard to ignore. My home computer also distracts me because of certain websites -cough- and Facebook. Blogger not so much because I try to do that last.
I learn better with worksheets. I found that out today when Ms. Frank handed out yet another questionnaire for another section in our book. I like them.
She also gave me tomorrow's work since I won't be there. She got upset when I told her I wasn't going to be there either. Eff her. As if she were a teacher in a classroom, make me laugh.
I went to that Navy meeting for a scholarship in the media center. It was okay. Worth a lot of money too! Too bad I can't apply...
Peer Tutorness- I'm starting to hate helping random hispanic kids. They just don't want to do anything and I really can't translate the entire textbook for them everytime the teacher gives out a worksheet. Oh well. I gots hugs from peoples. Yay. Summer was there too! Yay
Music was kind of fun. I hate it when people watch me when I'm singing though because it makes me laugh and crack while I sing. Singing is fun though.
Jose tried to play with me and took my 50 pesos. So Isaac took his candy and gave it to me and we exchanged goods. ^o^
I gots Audrey-hugs-and-kisses. Yay.
April and I practiced lines, once, during lunch. Yay
April and I both got 9.5 on our Japanese test! This one was kind of hard. And I only missed some questions about culture because I hadn't been there when they studied that. Oh well. No biggie.
I reviewed a lesson today. Hopefully I'll do better next time and on finals.
We are still doing work in Env. Science. It's cool, but it's too much. Oh well.
Time for bed now! Getting ready for the shows tomorrow! I'm going to put vaseline in my teeth so I can have more chances of keeping the show pin! Haha

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.

Still Working
At this moment I find myself still doing work for yearbook and journalism. I don't blame anyone else but me though; I keep putting stuff off. My usual problem.
Today Mid-Terms were handed out during first period. I had all As and a B in U.S. History. That's not my real updated progress though; Ms. Frank didn't realize grades were due so she just gave us the ones she had previously recorded. Lame. Liar. Loser. LaVitch.
I realized that one of the girls under my yearbook section had an F in Journalism. I am partly taking the blame on that because, being the Academics Editor, I haven't given out real assignments.
Speaking of being Editors. I am the Editor-in-Chief of The Cannon, and I truly believe I am not doing as great a job as I could be doing. But then again, there was no Editor-in-Chief last year so I really don't know what to do or what to follow. I know one of my duties is to make sure all staff writers have their stories, but seeming that I am only in one Journalism class I don't ever see or know the other ones. I think that next semester I will take both classes to make a bigger impact and participate in yearbook meetings.
If I auctioned myself, would you bid and strive to get me? I ask this because I want to take part in the fundraiser for The Cannon newspaper and yearbook. And I don't want to do it if no one will even try to get me and just make a fool of myself. That is one of the things Ms. Jesse is afraid of: Feelings being hurt.
Oh yes, of course, U.S. History. Ms. Frank spent half the period looking for our Chapter 9 tests. She seems to have misplaced/lost them. Her usual self on crack, I guess. I really want to make it my job to get her fired. But that is evil and it contradicts my philosophies in life.
Oooh! Remember the new cute boy I've been talking about in my English class? Well, he and I were the only ones done with a small project. I felt special somehow. As if by accomplishing this I will gain his friendship, trust, and love. It's a small step towards the long road of hope leading to the City of Dreams.
I was really busy today during fourth period. I didn't realize until later that I had barely spoken with Summer at all.
It was mainly due to the teacher not being here and me having to help the ENL students since no passes were allowed to go and get help. I was moving around the room from end to end translating and showing where the answers were located in a passage. Then the bell rang. Time went by fast for me.
Even non-ENL students call me George/Jorge now. I love Andres. He is silly. I told him his name was my first name and he said that he was going to change it then.
I let him have the Sports section of my Indy Star and I explained to him why I didn't read that section.
I was surprised to see Tech alumni during Music App today. I thought it was only going to be Chordially Invited. But there were more! I definitely wasn't expecting to see Amber and Claire! They are awesome people. Austin was looking good too.
I guess Ms. Brown wanted to show us off by having us sing most of our songs. This was really bad for the basses (only Angel and me up there!). It didn't help that the guests were attentively listening for later critique amongst each other, as usual. We handled it, though. And later, Lerron showed up and helped too.
Ms. D and Ms. H had some of us on a search for the Christmas trees. Somehow they disappeared. They weren't in the Guitar/Prop Room or the Technician Dressing Room where same-sex members go in and dress for shows at the same time. Ms. H really wanted to locate these two trees to adorn them for Christmas. I hope she found them. I found the small one that they always put by the window on top of the piano in the music office.
Lunch. Yay. Japanese. Yay-er.
SMOGEE. Free day! No IUPUI people showed up and Ms. Solchik wasn't there. Since we are a special class, no assignments were . . . assigned. We talked the whole period and some of us (me) read. Or at least tried to.
Right now we are getting the house ready for visitors. People are coming over to celebrate Thanksgiving with yummy Mexican food.
And I am still stuck trying to write my Illegal Immigration story and making up assignments for my section staff.

The Devil and Tom Walker
That's the story we're reading in English 11 now. It seems fun, but they depict the devil as a black man with red eyes. Yeah... So when I was trying to log on to my account, I almost put "walker" as my password. I thought that was funny.
I think Ms. Frank should really plan her assignments a day before she assigns them. She's using a as-I-go method that I hate, because she forgets the assignments, and since most students don't do them she ends up not counting it for credit. She's stupid. I should really go and tell Mrs. Bogard that about her. Maybe she could send in someone to monitor her during class.
I really worked my ass of today during my peer tutor class. I was helping ENL ICP students clean their folders out. I totally helped four students. Two speak English, but they're lazy and cute so I helped them. It wasn't that much anyways.
Two girls took advantage of my ass being at folder-smack-reach and went ahead and did the process about three times.
Whatever.
OMG Music. Angel and Jose were both glad to see me walk in in the middle of Number 6. They make me feel wanted and important, even though Jose seems to like to hit me a lot. But it's fun. So no biggie on that.
I love them both, they are great. I'll miss them.
I have to remember to talk to Ms. Perkins or Mrs. DeWitt about the recycling program at Tech and why it stopped.
Ms. D reminded me of that so she had me go to the computer and look up info on Paper Retriever. I just want a button that says "Request a Container" That would do it!
I think I will talk to Mrs. DeWitt since she's in charge of Grounds.
I want to make a change, and this is helping.
We did more vocabulary in Japanese today, and tomorrow we have a small quiz. We always have quizzes or tests. It's great though, that's how everyone learns. And I think it's awesome that she can talk to us in Japanese and we know what she's saying. We may be slow in answering back, but we do it. I hope to continue my Japanese studies, that's why I want to go to IU; their Japanese program is apparently top-notch, and with all those books in that one library, I'm sure they have some Japanese manga there too. Easy and fun stuff to read. Nee!?
SMOGEE. Is just a mess. Our groups were switched around again and now I only have one girl. Her name is Taylor. I like her, she's nice, and white. Not that it makes a difference, but the black girls in there seem to always have something to say for anything I ask.
Whatever.
We all returned to school and I hurried to my Yearbook meeting. I am the Academics Editor so I'm planning on having a page for Jesi's trip to Spain and Liz's trip to Japan.
I don't know what else to include though. I want to include over-achievers. I think I'm one of them too, so I want to include myself. That'd be unethical though. I don't know, I'll talk to Ms. Jesse and Felicia, the Editor-in-Chief.
I carried all the flags out to the field today! They were 12 six-foot flagpoles and 6 pairs of swing flags. They were heavy, but not impossible to relocate. My back did hurt though. And my arms did too. My back still hurts, but I don't think carrying flags caused, I mean, they didn't weight a ton. I don't think they did.
But we pretty much finished the show. We only have 53 charts and they are all complete.
Color Guard was looking good today! Only three of us showed up, the best ones too, if I do say so myself.
Audrey says Tech's color guard is pretty much at the same level as Ball State's. That's good for us, but bad for them.
Halloween tomorrow! I'm passing out candy! Come if you want 496.1498 Call for the address if you are serious.
