3rd wheel on a semi-truck

My blog is offically uncool. I have been looking at other blogs and getting some ideas though. After today, for one whole week, my blog will be compiled completley of pictures.
My best friend Yasmin holds office in the school's history club. I joined history club not only because I am a huge history buff, but also to support her. She also joined Debate just to support me, even though she has no interest in it whatsoever. Anyways, I feel like I need to be really active or she might call me out on something. History Club is cool, but all the people in the club are her friends, just like Debate club had my friends in it. I feel like a third wheel. I try to talk to other people and make friends, but they all know each other from band or the other classes they have with one another. I know none of the people. When I say those inside jokes that usually make Yasmin crack up, she gives me this blank stare. Should I quit the club?

Probably the Worst Day EVER!

Just like the title says, for me, today was probably the worst day ever. First, I could barely stay awake during first period. I almost fell asleep on my keyboard many of times, which probably constituted to the fact that I under nothing of what we did in class.
Then during 2nd period we took a quiz. I o the topic (momentum and impulse) like the back of my hand. I was ready to take it on Friday like we were going to until the teacher changed his mind. Anyways, I studied all weekend for the make-up test I had to take today (more info later) and I used the wrong formulas on the quiz. I made a 30, and I can't change that grade by retaking the quiz. I can't believe I made such a stupid mistake. My brother was the one who graded my paper and told me I had everything set up right, I just didn't' factor in time, which caused some major problems.
On the bright side, I didn't have English today and I won't see my English teacher on Wednesday.
During fourth period, my teacher went around to collect papers, and Santana and I were the only ones who did our homework. She chewed out the whole class and I felt so small. Even though I did my homework, I still felt like I was the one being screamed at. It is just a horrible feeling.
I got up from my desk at the end of 4th period to go take my re-take after school and I felt something wet on my legs. My "Aunt Flo" had come for a visit starting a few days ago and she leaked down my leg. I must have sat funny because her "bed" was empty. Luckily, I wore a tunic today to school. Once I got up stairs, the best friend a girl could ever have lent me her jacket to wear around my waist until I got home. Then I went to go take my test with an obnoxious yellow jacket tied around my hips. And you are never going to guess who I ran into... the guy I have had a crush on for quite some time. I must have looked so stupid. At this point I was almost in tears. Thank goodness I was staying after school to take that test though, because if I didn't, my brother's friend would of have to given me a ride home and seen me at my lowest point of the whole school year. This guy and I are friends I guess. We make small talk and he volunteered to give me a ride home from school, and he will help me if I really need something, but we don't hang out on the weekends or discuss what is really going on in our lives. It would be awful if he saw me all "Aunt Flo" like. It was bad enough that my crush saw, but don't see him everyday.
Anyways, I went to go take my test and the teacher had forgotten I was coming in even though I had told him on Friday and he asked me during class and I told him I was coming in today after school. So I had to wait 20 minutes while he made a test for me. That test was almost an insult. I was easy enough for a monkey to pass. There were only two I couldn't do because he had forgotten distance on one of them and the other one, I just really had no idea what to do.
Since my teacher had forgotten about me, he gave me my test and two large pieces of poster board with all the equations on them and sent me to Credit Recovery. CR is for people who have missed too much school or kids who have nothing better to do than hang out in a computer lab with a teacher who doesn't care. I had to try to take my test with the two kids in front of me flirting... in Spanish nevertheless, the teacher talking on her cell phone and one girl who had turned the sound on high on her computer. I barely kept my sanity.
After the test, I had to go to my locker to pick up a couple of books, and my phone bumped against something. When I was walking down the stairs, I noticed my phone was calling someone. The caller i.d. said Emergency Call. My phone had dialed 911!! I hung up hoping that no one had answered the phone yet, but I was out of luck. The lady called back, asked who I was, and if there was an emergency. I had to explain to her what happened and she still didn't believe me. She asked me twice if I was all right. I was so embarrassed.
On the ride home from school I was almost in tears, but if Ii would of cried my brother would of freaked out and might of wreaked, since he was driving. Somehow I kept my cool. When I got home, mom asked me how my day went and I told her that it was horrible and all about the quiz, then I went to go change. I couldn't stop crying. After I had cried for a good three minutes and collected myself, I went downstairs to put my clothes (and Yasmin's jacket) in the wash. I told my mom about the "Aunt Flo Accident" and she just told me that I need to be better prepared and that it was all my fault. I ALREADY know that, but she just needed to rub it in. She couldn't stop what she was doing for two seconds to give me a hug of say something positive. And she wonders why I never tell her anything.
In a nutshell (really, this is the condensed version) that was probably the worst day ever. And the worst part was that when I got up this morning I thought that today was going to be a great day. My jeans fit, even with my bloating, and my make-up was perfect. In fact, my make-up stayed near-perfect all day long. Even through the crying my make-up stayed put. That was the only big sunny side of my day. Perfect make-up. How pathetic and shallow am !?

sorry about the lenght - I got kind of carried away in places

So...Much...To...Do...

The past couple of days have been insane. I have had tons of homework and I have three test tomorrow. Our band (including my best friend) are in San Antonio for the state marching band competition. Senior night was on Friday and we won in the last ten seconds -thanks Jason- again!!! The pep rally was amazing. The senior footballs players danced to "Crank dat" by that Soldier Boy guy (that is totally not he spells his name). On top of all this I am working on my brother's Eagle ceremony. I have so much to do, but so little time. (isn't that always the case!)

I really shouldn't be writing since I have so much to do, but everyone needs a break. (According to my dad, people who take breaks are "losers". He says this whenever my brother takes a break from homework or scholarships.)

H-Ween Pic

Here is a picture of Yasmin and I last year. In case you couldn't guess what we were, I was a tourist and she was a Christmas Caroler. Every time someone answered their door, she would yell "Merry Christmas". Some people got mad and wouldn't give us candy.

Melancholy Monday

Today was the start of the new nine weeks at school!! There are some new kids in my BCIS class, and annoying Jeff got moved out of my Physics class. Because he got moved, now my brother sits behind me. He is having so much fun bothering me by pulling my hair and moving my desk out from under me, Maybe it will get better as time goes on....
I found out on Saturday night that the high school band is going to state competition. I may have to go a couple days without my best friends, but that is totally the price to pay for the band going to state. She plays the saxophone during marching season and the oboe the rest of the year. She is going to have so much fun.
Lastly I want to mention this comment I received last night. It is about getting Internet service in Brazil and the comment was in Portuguese and I had to use Google translator to understand it. It did give me a website name so here is the link for anyone who wants to check it out.

Church and boyfriends and Stu. Co., OH MY!!!!

Last night after I blogged I went to my church's Wednesday night Youth Group. Boring! At least I got to talk to my best friend because it is one of the only times I get see her thanks to her new boyfriend. They spend all of their time together. I feel like she has sort of forgotten about me, but this boyfriend will not last long. She is really bad with relationships.
Enough about her. Tonight was the Stu. Co. meeting (aka student council). New word of the day - bunk: uncool and/or harmful. Thank Jacob for that one. He came up with that word to describe drugs because he is in charge of Red Ribbon Week in two more weeks. Try to work that word in a conversation and see how it works.

The Devil Teaches English (though not very well)

Okay, so today in English we had a sub which was great because nobody in the class likes our teacher. She gave us a 4 page assignment on Latin root words that will help on the PSAT next year. Nobody understood how to do it. She didn't leave any instructions for the sub. How stupid. So now 45 kids (it is a humanities class, so there is double the kids) have no idea how to do their homework. And get this, she won't even be back from here conference until Friday so she won't even be able to guide us. Luckily, my best friend is taking Latin this semester so she is going to help me. Stupid teacher!!! Sorry if I'm getting angry. I'm just venting to get these out of my system. I can't really say anything at school because all the teachers talk. A couple of years ago some girl got busted for what she wrote on her Xanga about her math teacher. At least I didn't metion any names.
