A way to keep things up to date about things that are going on in the life of Aury. Though I may not post all the time when I probably should, I still try and make updates! So kick back, relax, and read away!

Every 15 Minutes...

There is an activity that is done all over by many many schools. It's called Every 15 Minutes; a skit and day against and to show the horrors of drunk driving. Yesterday, my school put this activity into motion and the effect it had on the entire school was amazing. Students were pulled out of class every 15 minutes by "Death" himself, and the class was told that this person had died in an alcohol related accident. An obituary is read in front of the class by a sheriff, and then for the rest of the day that student that "died" was went around school like any other day. Only difference was that they were not allowed to speak; they were not allowed to smile; they were not allowed to acknowlege anyone that was around them. It was like they really were ghosts walking around the campus. And to top that all off there was a tomb stone for each student placed in a grassy area in the quad with each students name on it. We were allowed to put things on the headstones, and in reality many people did.
I tried to hug one of my friends when I saw her at break, and she did nothing but stand there with a blank expression. Then when I let her go she walked away without even looking at me. The reality of the who event really began to sink into me at that point.
In addition to the students that died during the day, there was a skit in the middle of the street. It was of a car wreck. A head on collision where one of the drivers had been drunk. The Drunk driver was fine with nothing but a bunch of scratches and bruises, where as his passenger was thrown from the vehicle and lay dead in the middle of the road with his head smashed in (keep in mind that all the actors were real students here at my school or real police officers, paramedics, or firefighters. Even the passenger that was laying dead in the street was played by one of the students). Both people in the front of the other car were stuck, one ended up being paralyzed and the other died before they could get her to the hospital. The passengers in the back of the other car were able to get out, but as soon as they saw the dead student (Travis) on the ground they began screaming and crying and trying to wake him up. They knew Travis and were his friends. They really had officers and everyone involved with the real thing down to the scene. This skit brought out the emotions in so many people that half of the audience was crying.
They really put the students through what would have really happened if it weren't a skit. The drunk driver went to jail for the night, the students that were injured were really taken to the hospital. The police really did call the parents of all these students as if it was a real thing.
This was really an emotional thing, even for me, someone who has never lost someone they care about to alcohol. I never cry, and yet I couldn't seem to keep myself pulled together. Even today as we had the assembly and listened to the stories of all of the students that had been pulled from class and done the skit. I was a mess and couldn't stop crying. As soon as the assembly was over I ran to the friends that I hadn't seen since yesterday as a dead person and cried hugging them tightly. I kept thinking what would I do if they really were dead? what would I have done if I really would have never been able to see them all again.... Even now as I write this I feel close to tears...

Here is a video of the skit from 2 years ago. Keep in mind that these emotions on the video isnt just acting. They are real. Especially the parents. I would put up the video from this year, but it was made only yesterday night and I dont have a copy and it isn't on youtube yet.

My computer........

Well my laptop died on me yesterday..... the screen SOMEHOW cracked internally. >.< I have no idea how much its gunna be to fix nor do I have the money to. So that means all my stories, all my music, all my pictures, and everything else that was on it is gone!

Oil Pastel Fun!! :3

So, as we all know I like to draw but I'm not exactly great with color, BUT in my art class we have been playing with color a little more and I'm getting better! We finished playing with acrylic paint.... kind of anyway, and now we are starting to play with Oil Pastels! I've been in a mood to draw ribbons lately too so that is, of course, what my picture is going to be. To my surprise, ITS TURNING OUT FREAKING AWESOME!! the shading is coming out right, and the colors are blending PERFECTLY! I was going to put it in the fair, but its too late. The forms were due Friday before last so I'll just have to wait till next year. Lets keep our fingures crossed that it'll turn out just right! I'm so posting it up here :D

A Day Without Shoes

Hello everyone! Today is another day doing something with a cause, A Day Without Shoes; and as the title implies, we go the entire day without shoes. The last one I did was A Day of Silence. This was a day that I didn't speak one word to anyone, and neither did many other kids at my school, for one whole day in order to bring attention to the children that could have been but weren't because of abortions.
Today is a day to bring attention and support the children all around the world who aren't fortunate enough to even own a pair of shoes. The group compared to the day of silence was really small, but there were still a good amount none the less.
And as usual when we do these things, there are people who stare, whisper, tease, and just discriminate against us. Even the teachers and the higher ups in school this time were against it. It is now, as you all can tell, about half way through the day. I have heard reports from my friends that teachers are sending students to the office for doing it, they are being randomly called out of class, and they are being told to put their shoes on or be suspended. I have yet to have a word said to me by any of the adults at school even though I haven't had my shoes on since I started my first period of the day at about 8am.
The usual rude remarks are yelled from across the hall, and even once there was a comment to my face as I passed some person I had never even seen before. "Put your damn shoes back on. No one wants to smell your nasty ass feet!" The language these kids are using is ridiculous, and I hate saying that I share a school with them. But I do.
As it stands now, I haven't seen a single person left since my 3rd period class started that hasn't had their shoes on. This is a sad thing that our cause is being pushed down even by the people we are suppose to look up to, but what more can anyone do? Most kids are afraid to be suspended or whatever else consequents there may be for saying no to them, but I will say this much. I'M KEEPING MY SHOES OFF FOR THE REST OF THE DAY!!!

2 Months Are Passing SOOOOO Slow... And Yet I Am Afraid...

Alright so, everyone has a reason for them to want it to be a certain month or time already. And as the time ticks down, it seems to go from flying by to going so slow it's unbearable! This is something that is plaguing me and driving me crazy to no return! Especially the last few days! I'm so anxious for June to come and yet I am so nervous about it that it's rediculous! In June, I'll finally be 18; In June, I'll finally be on summer; and in June, I'll finally get to be with him and no one will be able to say a word about it, plus it will be my first time actually meeting him in person. I'll be able to finally hold him in my own two arms, stare into those beautiful golden green eyes, and hear that voice with my own two ears. I know I sound mushy but these are the things that I've been thinking about for the last few days! I'm nervous though BECAUSE this will be my first time being with him. I'm freaked that I wont be what he expected me to be and change his mind, leaving me to be nothing and heartbroken. He thinks I'm perfect, no matter how much I've insisted and tried to convince him that I am far from it. I am, after all, only human. Is this a usual feeling? A feeling of dread that you wont be what they want and think you to be, and that it will be this huge let down to the point that they wont be there anymore? *Sigh* I'm just rambling and over thinking things and over reacting I am sure, but it is something in my head that will not go away. Does anyone have any comment on these feelings?
