You ever get a headache that stays there the whole day and refuses to go away? That was me today. Why? Because I have a cold for the third time this year. I think I've mentioned that before, but my heads been killing me today so I mentioned it again.
I got assigned seats in drawing today. I know sit by three girls. Two of them spent the whole class talking bad about some girl I don't know. Oh, what a wonderful class this will be.
Mrs. Schroeder had us make a value scale in drawing today. It basically was a strip of paper that we had to completely shade in, gradually becoming darker to one side. I had graphite all over my hands. Then, we had to chose a tree to draw. Trees are probably my second least favorite things to draw after people (and guess what, there's a person in my picture that I have to draw too). They're just so hard to draw!
I had to write a poem about children in child development. I am not a poet. I write stories not poetry. It's the most horrible poem ever, and she's planning on hanging these in the hallway! I hope our names are on the back!
We took our first quiz in Spanish and I'm pretty sure I didn't miss any! Yay! Now I can hopefully do that tomorrow.
One of our assignments for English was to read The Monkey's Paw by W. W. Jacobs. I don't like stories like that. The ones that kind of creep you out. The ending was really confusing too. I'm not sure what happened.
There's a good chance we'll have a snow day tomorrow! Three of my teachers brought it up, and told us to still do homework in case we have school. I hope we don't! I'd love to not have school. Plus, we haven't had snow that doesn't melt by noon yet this year. I love snow at first, but I start hating it pretty quickly. Or, I guess it'd be more appropriate to say that I hate the cold. I'd love snow a lot more if it wasn't always freezing, and it didn't get wet when it melts.
There's a new episode of Naruto Shippuden on Disney tonight, and afterwards People's Choice Awards comes on! Taylor Lautner and Kellan Lutz are both supposed to be there. Excited to see if Twilight wins anything. I don't know if Harry Potter is nominated or not. If it is, I haven't heard anything.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for no school tomorrow!

A Sucky Semester
I hate school. Okay, I don't hate it really, but I already know this semester won't be fun. I didn't really like the first semester of freshman year, but the two semesters after that were better. This semester is looking even worse than the first semester of freshman year.
I have pretty much no one to talk to in any class (and yes I know the point is to learn but still), but I could deal with all that if it wasn't for stupid, sucky lunch. I think I've explained this before, but I'll explain it again anyway. My school has two lunch periods, A and B. If you have a lunch, you have about 20 minutes of lunch and then go to your third block class. If you have B lunch, then you have about 20 minutes of your third block class, about 20 minutes of lunch, and then go back to third block. I'd hate this lunch anyway for several reasons: 1. It's later, and I'm always super hungry by lunch. 2. For some reason, the lunch line seems to be a whole lot longer. 3. I don't like leaving class and then going back.
But there's an even bigger reason why this lunch sucks. Not only do I have no classes with my best friend, I don't have lunch with her either. That means I get to talk to her for a total of maybe 10 or 15 minutes the whole day, but those minutes are split into about 3 or 4 minutes at a time. Speaking of friends, I only have about 3 or 4 friends in this lunch. These friends are not one group, but spread into different groups. In these groups, there are people that I don't feel comfortably sitting with (either because I barely know them and am really shy or because I don't like them). Today I felt incredibly awkward because I didn't know where to sit. I asked my friend Emily if I could sit with her and she said yes. I never talk with the people she sits with, but I felt more comfortable around them then any of the others. It wasn't bad or anything. It was actually pretty nice since I've barely talked to Emily since freshman year because we have no classes together. I feel a little better about lunch tomorrow now, but I'm still really upset about not having lunch with who I used to sit with. I felt more comfortabe sitting wiht them. And it would be nice to be able to talk to my best friend sometime durig the day.
Sorry about the ranting. I'm really not happy about this semester, so that may be happening kind of often. Warning for the future.
By the way, this is my fourth semester og high school. So far I'd probably say second semester of freshman year was my best semester, and this semester (second of sophomore year) is the worst. With first semester of sophomore year being second best.
We have our first quiz in Spanish II tomorrow. It's just a review of stuff we learned in Spanish I and I still don't think I know it. I took Spanish I the first semester of freshman year (is there a connection between Spanish and sucky semesters), so it's been forever.
I watched episode 27 of Naruto last night. I loved it! The show is definitely getting more interesting!

My Bad First Day Back at School
Remember yesterday when I was worried because I thought school would suck? Yeah, well it did. Sure, maybe it wasn't horrible, but I'm so upset about a few things that it's making me mad about other things that wouldn't normally bother me.
My first class was AP World History which is the only year long class I'm taking. There was nothing wrong with it.
Then I had Drawing. I took Intro to 2D Art the beginning of the year, but there are completely new kids in this class. My friends I had 2D art with aren't in this class with me. I ended up sitting at a table with two girls. One of them is incredibly annoying, and was trying to get pregnant last year when she was 16. The second one seems nice enough, but there's just something about her that I know we wouldn't be good friends. Meaning this is going to be an incredibly boring class. At least they talked to me. Could've been worse. Mrs. Schroeder had us draw a toothbrush and a tree today. Mine sucked as usual.
I then have Child Development with Mrs. Drew. I had her the beginning of my freshman year for a different class. She seemed very excited to have me again. For some reason, Mrs. Drew and Mrs. Schroeder both really like me. I was talking to Mrs. Drew before class when Mrs. Schroeder cam in, saw me, and they proceeded to talk about what an amazing student I am. I'm so glad no one else was in there to here that. Embarassing. I talked to Kara who I haven't talked to in years. Surprised she still actually knows who I am. We go to the same church, but she's a year ahead of me in school. Mrs. Drew gave us homework, but it was really easy so I got what's due tomorrow done.
Then I had Spanish II with Mrs. DeWeese. I had her for Spanish I the beginning of my freshman year. Not really much to say except she also gave us homework on the very first day. She also warned us about how hard Spanish II would be. Scare me a little.
After 20 minutes of Spanish it was time for lunch. This is the first time I've had B lunch. I'm not sure how I feel about the 20 minutes of class, then eat, and then hour more of class thing yet. This is also the source of my big problem. My best friend Summer had been told she had A lunch. I was pretty stressed out because I didn't know who had B lunch, and didn't know who to sit with. Then, Summer found out she had B lunch. I was incredibly happy because that would be the only time of the day I really get to talk to her. So after lunch I was feeling a whole lot better about this semester. That is until I get on the bus to go home and am told by Megan (who is in Summer's class) that there was a mistake and their class has A lunch now. Almost everyone I ate lunch with today is in that class, so now I don't know where to sit at lunch. Two people we ate with today still have it, but I'm incredibly shy. There not people I normally talk to so I feel a little weird sitting with them. I know they wouldn't care. It would just be awkward. I guess I have no choice though. I really wish the whole school ate luch together. It's a small school. We'd still need a bigger cafeteria and commons though...
Anyway, after lunch, it was time for my last class of the day English 10. Nothing to really say about this class either really. The teacher, Mrs. Meyer, is the only new teacher I have. I like her so far. I don't like that she also gave us homework though.
I didn't think ahead about getting notebooks and stuff. Luckily, I already had some notebooks to use, found some more at my house, and my dad got me a sketchbook for drawing on his way home from work.
Wow. Talking about school took forever. I just pray that tomorrow goes a whole lot better, and that everything works out with the lunch thing.
I finished chapter one of A Not-So-Silent Night by Verlyn D. Verbrugge. The first chapter talks about how Jesus was born to die. The author basically said that we treat Christmas as a really happy day because Jesus is born but they compare it to Good Friday. Good Friday's called good because Jesus died for us, but it's still sad because he died. Christmas is happy because Jesus was born, but he was born to die. It's kind of hard to explain without going through the whole chapter. It's really interesting so far. (By the way, I know this paragraph talks about religious stuff. It's hard to discuss a religious book without talking about religious stuff. Sorry for people who aren't Christian.)
I also watched episode 26 of Naruto. It was basically just a recap of everything that's happened so far since it's the end of season one. (I got through one season! Yay!) It was good, but not great since pretty much nothing new happened. I'm excited for episode 27 when the second test begins! I'll probably even watch it tonight!
I hope tomorrow is a lot better!

The Last Day of Break
I don't have much to talk about today. That will change tomorrow. You know why? School starts tomorrow! Yay! (And just so you know, that was meant sarcastically.)
I don't hate school, but I start completely new classes tomorrow. (Except AP World History) I hate starting new classes. I think it's because of how shy I am. It's kind of stupid especially considering I know all (or at least most) of the kids who will be in my classes and I've had all of the teachers before except one. Even so, it doesn't stop me from worrying that I won't have friends in any classes (which as far as I know I don't which sucks) or that I'll suck at the class and fail. It may not make sense, but it doesn't stop me from worrying. It doesn't help that I have no classes with my best friend and may not even have lunch with her. I just hope one of my friends ends up being in at least a few classes. I didn't compare schedules with all of my friends so there's hope. I had a friend in one class, but she switched classes.
Anyway, moving on from that, all I did today was go to church, go out to eat for lunch, and come home. The most interesting part of my day was waking up late only about 15 minutes before church started. Luckily, we live less than a block away from our church and we got there on time. I had to get ready incredibly fast though.
I've started reading A Not-So-Silent Night by Verlyn D. Verbrugge. It's about the "dark" side of Christmas. About how, even though we think of Christmas as a happy time, it actually wasn't for Mary, Joseph, and the others. I'm about halfway through the first chapter. I'll talk more about the first chapter when I finish it.
I'll talk about how my first day of my new classes went tomorrow. Hopefully, it will be a happy post, and not one were I'm upset about things.

A New Year
I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve and New Year's Day!
I had a lot of fun at my grandma's. We had these confetti things that we did at midnight and we drank sparkling grape juice. I love sparkling grape juice! I had a really great New Year's Eve.
The new year hasn't started out all that great for me. I spent January 1st at my grandma's, and I had a horrible headache all day.
We went the see Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. It was so cute! I love the chipmunks! Everyone should go see the movie!
I stayed up until four am last night finishing Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. It was a good book and I'd recommend it, but (SPOILERS) the ending was incredibly sad! I did not like the ending at all!
I was just trying to fall asleep when my mom came in my room to tell me that my dad was taking her to the ER. She's been sick for a while. My dad called me this morning to tell me that she had pneumonia and was in the hospital. She's getting better and may come home tomorrow.
So, hopefully the year will get better from now on.
