I HATE THIS!!!
Ok, so I whined about Worldview in my last post but I'm going to whine again. After I wrote that stupid paper twice [and am still not sure it's what the teacher wants] I have to now work on the presentation that I couldn't work on during the week because I was focusing all of my energy on the paper! So now I only have the weekend to put together an entire presentation about my topic! I have teen alcohol abuse, and I was originally just going to make a PSA for my presentation...but all the people that were going to act in said PSA bailed on me. Apparently they have more important things to do than to help a friend out. So, no PSA. There went my idea. So I have absolutely NOTHING! All of my other ideas have fallen through and I can't think of anything else to do! I'm SO SICK AND TIRED OF THIS STUPID THING! I just don't even want to have to think about it anymore. I just want the damn thing out of my hair.
UGH!
Right now, suicide might be an option. AKA: A shiny new emo post by Ink
I know, I know. I dropped off the face of the planet. Not that I think anyone noticed; but, whatever. So I'm going to rant, so if you're not in a rant-reading mood then click the lovely little back arrow and go about your merry way.
Anyway, this past weekend I had a four day weekend. And let me tell you, I was so excited about having a break! But no such luck. I got saddled with not one BUT TWO projects to do over the long weekend. I'd known about the anatomy project for a couple of weeks before the long weekend, so I'd already started on it. But the Worldview project just sort of came out of the blue. So I spent my ENTIRE long weekend working on homework. I cried a lot because I felt so stressed and pressed for time.
Monday morning [yesterday] rolls around I was realived as I turned both projects in. I handed my Worldview paper to my teacher, she looks at it in disgust. I'm of course, having a 'oh my God, I thought I did this project right' moment. Everyone got this reaction from her--and she's usually a really easy-going teacher...So needless to say, I spent the rest of Monday going into conniptions because I was worried that I'd get a bad grade. I kind of took solace in the fact that she seemed disappointed by everyone's papers...
Well, this morning we all get our papers back--as well as a nice long lecture about "not following directions". What the hell? So, I got a 55. An EFFING 55!! I've never gotten a 55 on a paper in my life. Hell, I've never gotten below a 60 on ANYTHING in my entire scholastic career. So, she lectured us about not paying attention or taking notes when she told us about this project. Oh wait, let's stop and think a moment: I TOOK NOTES! I had my laptop out that day, and I have a text document saved on my computer of what she told us this damn project was supposed to be about.
Our teacher also gave us this nifty little sheet of paper that detailed EXACTLY what she apparently wanted on this paper. I used the damn sheet she gave us to write my paper. So I had a concrete set 3 page essay with exactly what was on the sheet she gave us. It was well written, well thought out, and overall well done. But, when we got the papers back she graded them on a COMPLETELY different criteria, then what the sheet she gave us said she would. The sheet she gaves us said that a certain part of the essay would be worth so many points and so on and so forth. The grading sheet she gaves us had COMPLETELY different point values, that weren't even close to the original point values.
So just whatever. I don't know how to please. I'm just so tired of everything right now. I just want to go home, crawl into my bed and not get up until I'm done with highschool.
Forget the Pirates
So today, I found out that the other two girls who were going to dress up as pirates with me tomorrow for costume day decided that they didn't want to be part of our group so they probably aren't coming as pirates. So I'm considering mutiny and going over the ninja side. I'll probably bring both costumes to school and if I'm the only pirate, I'll change into a ninja costume. But I have to say, I'm a little disappointed that the other pirates bailed. But I guess I'm not that surprised it's the two annoying people in my class--the ones that pretty much go out of their way most days to be pessimistic and moody and they're constantly PMS'ing. It's ridiculous. Whatever, if being a pirate meant I had to be with them, I don't know if I would want to be a pirate anyways. And besides in the whole pirates vs. ninjas debate I'm totally for ninjas. So there.

I hate the time change.
Stupid Daylight Savings Time. It's screwing with my internal clock.
So I know I said we were going to have EPIC PIRATE TRUCK on Halloween, but no such luck. Halloween here was a rainy digusting mess. So we had the mini van, and our coolness factor went down a few poitns. But we stayed dry for the greater majority of the night. So whatever. No pictures of the epic pirate truck.
This week is Homecoming week at my school. We don't have a football team, so no Homecoming game, but we do get to have a party. No stupid dance though, we're having a bonfire in the field by the school and we're going to play such games as amoeba-tag, dodgeball, Red Rover, and hide-and-go-seek. I feel like our Homecoming will kick all other Homecoming's butts. So there.
But Homecoming also means awesome costume days all WEEK!! Yesterday was Pajama Day. Easiest day ever. I rolled out of bed and put on my contacts, threw on a hoodie and I was good to go. And today was Team Spirit Day. Yeah. I represented my college because my sister stole my Cubs shirt. Tomorrow is Era Day. I'm going as someone from the Victorian period. My sister is going as a 20's mobster. Her costume is cooler because she actually gets to bring a plastic pistol to school. Thursday is Tacky Day and Friday is EPIC COSTUME DAY!! So excited. Senior Class is divided, half as pirates half as ninjas. And we get to go to Wal-mart on Friday to go shopping for Homecoming food, so pirates and ninjas are going to infiltrate Wally World!!
I think I'm done rambling for now. So, I'll shut up...
I'm not dead yet!
Wow...I haven't posted anything in a while. So, right now I am completely exhausted. Today was 'Community Helper's Day' at my school. The parking lot was taken over by a whole punch of career-type people [firemen, police officers, builders, radio station people, ect.] and the students were all supposed to go around and talk to them. The seniors [my class] got recruited to help take Pre-K [the four year olds] around because...well, I actually have no idea. Their teacher was off doing something else so we ended up with her students because she lacked the foresight to get a proper subsitute teacher. So, we thought we would just be with them to take them around the parking lot, but no siree! We watched the Pre-K until 12:15 this afternoon. We pretty much missed all of our morning classes [which didn't mean much, because we had a sub in Anatomy and Worldview is the stupidest class ever] and then part of lunch. It was a good morning though, because let's face it: them kiddies were CUTE! :3 After we were relieved of our babysitting duties the senior went out to lunch. Which was a nice way to get away from everything...
Tomorrow is Halloween! I'm so excited! I'm helping out with trunk-or-treat at my church. My sister, cousin and I are all dressing as pirates and we're going to decorate the bed of our black truck like our pirate ship! [Maybe I'll take pictures so you guys can see it...] Argh, matey. So that should be fun, and I also get to re-use my pirate costume for Homecoming week!! [Which is next week!] Friday of next week is "Epic Costume Day" and the senior class decided that we wanted to do themed costumes...so half of us are going as ninjas and the other half pirates. I'm on the pirate side... [laughs]
Hmmmm...what else? Oh, I finally decided to beat Ocarina of Time on my own. I've never played it all the way through before [usually my sister and dad commandeer my file and win it for me] so this time I'm going to do it by myself. But my sister keeps messing me up by lying to me under the guise of 'giving me guidance'. My dad told me not to listen to her. So if you're reading this, Sista. I'm not listening to you anymore! :P
Ok, I think I've rambled enough for now, don't you guys? I have to leave soon anyways, my youth group's headed out to a haunted house this evening, so I have to go get myself scared to death.
Happy Halloween, everybody!
