Good luck pronouncing that title. But whatever it is, that's how I feel. You'd think that as school comes closer to an end, that I would feel better, but I don't.


Mother's Day is Sunday, and I don't know what to get my mom. Not to mention that the report for this class is due the Tuesday we get back, and I won't be home all weekend. Woo. But anyways. I'm utterly bored, there really isn't a lot to talk about. I really didn't want to come to school today. I wanted to stay at home and lay in my nice, warm bed all day. But obviously since I'm writing this, I'm not at home.

I just want it to be summer already.

6th 6 Weeks, Blog Post 1

Well, I think I've set too many goals for myself, because I'm so extremely stressed. I'm simultaneously trying to lose weight, keep my grades up, look for a job, and do chores, and get my license. It's a lot to handle. But, my mom just basically said to me that that's nothing.

Oh, well. I'll get through it. Always manage to get through the crap that I'm in. It's just unfortunate that it's all happening right at the end of the year.

On the other hand, there is the end of the year to look forward to. This year hasn't been the best in terms of school. Some of the teachers that I had last year, I think, were a whole lot better than the ones I have this year, but that's only a select few. On top of me not particularly liking some of the teachers, this year seems to have dragged on and on, I feel like last semester was last year! Ugh, I just want it to be over.

Slam Poem?

So, I read my poem yesterday. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought. Though, I do wish I'd read a poem I thought of later that day:

Damnation

No where near elation

Simple fixation

Only mutilation

Give into temptation

Easy sedation

Lack of concentration
No reason for celebration
Devastation
No time for relaxation
Transformation
Complete suffocation
Rewritten declaration
No more complication
Salvation

I like it a lot better than the one I did read. Point is, it's over, and I'm happy about it. Really talking in front of people was my problem with this, it was the word 'perform' that made me unhappy. Most of the time (out in the 'world of work') you most likely won't be asked to get up on a stage and perform anything.

Though, I must say that a little of my stage fright has disappeared, and I'm glad that it has. Between slam poems yesterday, and being in band for three years, I think I'm pretty good at stages now. Just don't ask me to sing anything, because I just won't do it.

Blog Post Number 4

So, just when I think I'm done for the day...oh look, I have to write a blog. Blogging doesn't make me feel good, I have nothing to say to the world, blogging is nothing but a waste of my time. I really have better things to be doing or learning than trying to come up with 200 words of poo.

When highschool is over (unless I need it for a college class) I will probably never ever blog again. Facebook is plenty enough 'blogging' for me. I update my status when I think of something funny or inspirational. Even then it's like what? A sentence maybe two?


So, I really can't wait until we don't have to blog anymore.

OGT's WOO!...not




 

So, this morning we spent two hours taking the Mathematics portion of the OGT's. For one, there is no way that the OGT is going to take me the entire two hours...except for maybe on the writing part...but that's mostly because I'll get carried away.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but these tests are extremely easy. If you can't pass (at least the math and reading parts so far) then either you're a REALLY bad test taker or you probably should go back to middle school...If by the time you're a senior and you have yet to pass the OGT's there's probably no chance for you in college due to the fact that the OGT's are lacking in preparation for the ACT, and the only job you'll be able to get without college education is probably working the drive-thru at McDonald's....So, good luck with your life.

I really don't have any worries about the OGT's they're just making the school day shorter and they're giving me plenty of reading time. So, I thank you Ohio's Government for giving me that much needed break to read. However, I am worried about the ACT's again due to the OGT's lack of preparation...so, I see much ACT practicing in the near future.

Richelle Mead Vampire Academy Series



The first book in the series.



I love these books. Or at least I did at the begining of the series. The first three books I zoomed through however I feel like the next couple are taking me forever. They sort of are one, because I don't have the time to read all that much, and two, because the begining of the books seem just, tedious to read almost.

At the beginning of this book, they're just making plans and its all very boring...not enough action I guess. But now that they've carried out the first part of the plan I'm hoping that it will get better. I hope that it will be easier for me to get through it after it picks up and starts its journey to the climax of the story.

I will finish the series. I'm determined. And I also have other books that I REALLY want to read, so I have to make it through these, and soon.

Poetry (Post #4)

Well, well, poetry. I don't really like you all that much. Sometimes poetry can be cool, and pretty, but I'm not good at it. I'm more of a story person. I like to be told what you mean, and I like details. For me poetry lacks those. Its like a blurry picture for me.

I don't like to write it, because I feel like I don't get my point across, and I just can't put passion into it. That lack of experience and knowledge of how words can flow together in poetry I think will really make performing my slam poem difficult. Not to mention I'm not a good performer in the first place.

For me, any poetry that I make seems...well...scatter-brained and it sounds like I have no idea what I'm talking about, but that's because I have a hard time fitting it all together. Poetry is writing, yes, but it is something completely different from writing a story.
