Daily Life

today was a D day. started out in econ and me and my friend who shall be known as Co were talking a lot in the back of the room :P skipping algebra 2 once again* nothing happened in newspaper except my friend known as C made a blog too(phoenixsmartone.blogspot.com) and we saw our press passes. i actually like my picture i wish that could be my ID pic too...... in spanish nothing happened. although next week, we're supposed to have an actual teacher :O!!!!!!!!! in geometry we reviewed for the test on monday. and in english we took a test on harrison bergeron which i recommend!!!
now to the interesting stuff. so spirit week was officially cancelled because of the apparant food fight during 2nd lunch yesterday and so was the pep rally that was going to be on friday.  students are all outraged but they have no one but themselves to blame.  because nobody who knows who started it will snitch and the people won't come forward the whole school is being punished.  this sucks especially for the seniors who did nothing. my theory is to blame the freshmen who are ignorant and think they're all that, when in all reality, they're lower than anybody in the school including the staff.  if i knew, i'd come forward......

???

"i'm a boy. you're a girl." is that how you wanna get asked out? this is how J asked M out. now M is one of my best friends and i definitely want her to be happy blah blah blah. J is a guy i USED TO have the biggest crush on last year. and I guess i want him to be happy too but not as much as i want M to be happy.  she seems to really like him so i hope he makes her happy for a while. M, if you're reading this, he better know that if he hurts you, i'm gonna have to hunt him down.

insecurities

everybody has them, but whether or not you let other people see them is up to you. for me, i try never to let anybody else see how insecure i really am. i am a dancer, and while some may argue this, i am not a thin person.  dancers are supposed to be skinny and thin, long legs and all that jazz. i am also a very short person so that also does not work to my advantage. the girls in my dance class, quite honestly, are so skinny that they could be mistaken for girls with eating disorders.  with more than half of them, you can see the majority of their bones as they dance in only booty shorts and a sports bra.  wearing my tights and leotard, i have major self esteem issues.  during the day, when the skinnier girls at school are walking around, it's easier for me to ignore it, but during dance, it's pretty much the big pink elephant in the room.  my advice is to be yourself.  come to terms with who you are and learn to love and accept yourself for being the real you, whoever that may be.  don't wanna use this reference but i will anyway. like brittany on glee said on the last episode they gave, you're a unicorn.  LOVE YOURSELF!!!! everybody's awesome and unique in their own special way. don't forget it!

boys

being a high school girl, i'm bound to have opinions on boys.  my theory is that some girls mature faster than guys, while other girls are on the same wavelength.  in my eyes, a guy should be chivalrous to a girl, while still giving her respect and space to make her own decisions.  my friend whose name shall be concealed as M was kinda letting this guy who shall be known as J ignore her even though they have confessed their feelings for each other.  in my eyes that's the opposite  of cool, and my friend DD and me were gonna go slap some sense into him. personally, i really REALLY wanted an excuse to do so, but that's just me, i think.  anyway, seeing as how my track record with guys isn't all that great, i guess i really shouldn't be talking, but i totally give great relationship advice.  i just can't seem to take it myself. oh well.....more later.

Daily Life

Today was a C day so i started out with chemistry. we had a test and i'm hoping for a low b or high c! science is by far my worst subject ever andi hate it beyond hatred.  then i had econ where rachael was "sittin in the back eatin cornbread!" no joke she totally was! skipping algebra 2 once again on to newspaper. today was relatively boring. no computers on fire, just looking at classes for the mipa fall conference. then at lunch i went to miss newell's room with niyla and courtney where we were grading papers.  miss newell is the absolute coolest teacher ever!!!!!!! then in spanish. get this we have an actual teacher! he did nothing but apparently mr gonzales who was our temporary substitute just quit cause our class was so horrible. am i the only one who thinks that's hilarious????? then in geometry i finished my work and apparently i'm like the freaking math tutor in our class and was bombarded with stupid people who just don't seem to get it!!!! oh well.......anyways i have dance later which i love!!!! hopefully there'll be more later

The Painted Boy

James Li should be in Chicago, finishing high school and working at his family's restaurant. Instead, as a born member of the Yellow Dragon Clan, he is on a quest even he does not understand.  Jay's journye takes him to Santo del Vado Viejo, an Arizona desert town overrun by gangs, haunted by members of other animal clans, and perfumed by delicious food, the whole town moving to the beat of Malo Malo, a barrio rock band whose female lead guitarist captures Jay's heart.  Here he must face a series of dangerous, otherworlly, and very human, challenges not just to survive, but to prove his worth to the clan. This is Charles de Lint at his best!
So far, the book is good but I'm also only on page 105 out of 431. 

So for my fellow bookworms, I figured i'd post the books I'm currently reading and put that little summary thing if its the frst in a series. no spoiler alerts here!!!
ok so one book I'm reading is THE Painted Boy by Charles De Lint.
