I'm not dead, yet!
So, I've survived my first week of the 11th grade. Go me, and I did it with only a minimal amount of stress!! I had on minor breakdown because of my college English course. [see the previous post for that bit of angst] And other than that I've done fairly well. It should be interesting when I start work and dance and everything, but hopefully I'll be able to balance school, work, dance, doing scoreboard for volleyball, my sister's basketball games, youth group, human video and student leadership. [laughing] And here I am talking about minimal stress.
. . .
I fail at my college class. I don't even know if I got into the college yet [I had to take the placement test today...I'll know Tuesday] but still. I have to write a paper--and really we have no idea what the heck this paper is actually supposed to be about--and I fail at it. I've already written it once, and in my jaundiced opinion it sucks. So I don't know what I should do. This is my writing course, too! And I want to be a writer, so much for that life goal; if I completely suck at the class how the heck will I succeed with at as a profession?! And even when I put all I've got into a paper [say the rough draft of the autobiography that's due next week] I am, A.) the student who didn't even really have anything said about my paper to the class--whereas everyone else was "Good opening paragraph" or "That was such good imagery" or "I was sucked in, I wanted to know what happened next", I was "Have I forgotten anyone? [long pause while lookind down the list of students] Oh yeah, Ink!"-- or B.) shown up by people who could care less that they're the greatest thing since sliced bread and practically rub it in everyone else's face and then use their phenominal autobiography as toilet-paper; because they don't really care about this class they're just there because they have to be. Talent is wasted on the ungrateful. Give it to the people who have low self-esteems, no talent in anything else, are ugly, dumpy and short, and would give their right arm to be able to write something praise-worthy. But nope, people like me get picked last, made fun of, and never noticed. Last of the list, and forgotten. Yes, such a great place to be.
Boredom.
I was bored and found this on dA, so I figured I'd do it...why the heck not?! And I don't have any homework [study hall is FTW] so I have nothing better to do with my time....

My highest was 7.5...and that was GOTH...I don't think I'm gothic, though. I scored high on punk, hardcore and emo, too... So, I guess that says something about me... I don't know. I'm so bored...
Yes.
I just survived the first day of Junior year. Go me. It was actually kind of boring. It sucks because most of my classes I actually have to pay attention in, I think Government is going to be the easiest class to zone out in. Yes, here I am conspiring how to NOT pay attention in class. I'm such a bad student. DX
I'm gonna die.
I think our household appliances are plotting to murder my sister and I. I'm dead serious. Last week, the washing meachine nearly spontaneous combusted when I was washing clothes. And now, our toaster-oven and microwave just up and died when we were cooking dinner. Madre y Padre are at some church get-together that my sister and I opted not to go to [because it's a 'praise night' and my definition of praise, and a who bunch of Methodists' definition of praise are two completely different things] and so we were told to eat dinner. Something which neither of us would do without threatening. Let me stress the point that neither of us has any kind of eating disorder or self-image issue, we're just two really lazy teenagers who would just as well eat a granola bar for dinner than have something wholesome to eat. So, we both decided to actually make something good for dinner, our definition being Easy Mac and Toaster Strudell. So, I'm heating up the Mac of my Easy Mac and she's got her pastries up in the toaster-oven, so they're both on the same extention cord, and so we're just talking, shooting the breeze, laughing, playing with the cat, ect. when all of a sudden our respective appliances died. They made that really awesome, power-outtage noise, like that 'shhhooooooooom' noise and then the screens went blank; and we were like "what the heck?!" so we tried to call our parents [thank God our food actually cooked so we did get dinner within all the mess] and our parents have yet to get back to us and it's been like an hour. Oh well, the house hasn't caught on fire yet...I doubt it will. I think we just need to flip one of the breakers, but I'm not going down to the basement to do that, my dad can do that when he gets home. So anyways, that was our adventure for the evening. All in all it was way too much drama for a good dinner. I'll stick with cereal and a granola bar from now on, thank you very darn much.
