Mood: Hungry!
Listening to: The A/C
Posted August 31, 2005
You guys are so sweet sumtimes. I wish I could be on Blogigo more sumtimes, but it isn't feasible. No, it isn't that I'm Internet retardant, b/c I'm online nearly every day. But the whole purpose of me keeping a blog was so I could have a sort of diary, and it not be read by my parent's eyes. Let me tell you, my parents would hardly approve of the sort of stuff I do at school, and all the cussing I get away with on here. It's extremely nice to be making friends in the bargain, and I'm sorry that I'm not on here more. The only reason I'm on here at all is b/c when I visit the library and feel like venting, I get on the public computers that bear no records of past doings, and get away with it. I guess you could go ahead and smack my hand. Bad StarrGurl. Defying your parents and being sneaky like that, plus all the crap you do at school. But what is that if not having a bit of fun?
I wish I could have more time to talk to everyone and blog more. I never get down everything I want to remember. Oftentimes, all I put down is the mindless stuff. Haha, guess you'll just have to get used to it. School has been OK, I suppose. This year, I'm upping two of my classes from Honors to Advanced, which is really cool. I received a letter in the mail about being in Advanced classes, and I'll be getting tested for the third time since I started school to see if I can get in the Advanced program. Their tests always manage to blow me away, however. And I really don't want to take Advanced Geometry, when I'm already scoring a D in the class below it, Honors. The third week into school and I'm already scoring a D...How did that happen? It all draws down to two things. One--I never seem to be able to get the right teaching. My teachers are distracted, and the lessons never fully sink in, so when homework or test time rolls around, there are holes in my knowledge of how to do the work. (Speaking of homework...I have some right now I really need to be working on...But oh well. Being at the library means no supervision, and I've already worked on that stupid English project, so there!
) Believe me or don't believe, it matters not to StarrGurl, but I've also had to take four years of tutoring just to pass my stupid math classes; b/c next to having the holes-in-knowledge, I've got sum sort of crazy block in my mind when it comes to math, so says Mum. It's crazy. And it makes me feel so stupid...But next to that unhappy subject, I'm adjusting well to my other classes. Since my old Ag. teacher left, I thot it'd be really difficult to adjust to my new teacher, who I thot at first was lacking in personality, friendliness, and the ability to talk. But I was proven wrong on all scores. He does have a personality, even if it's watered down and not as loud as Mr. Stephens' had been, and he is friendly, it just takes him a while to warm up; and last, he can talk, b/c he lectures us daily and it's like watching dominoes fall as my classmates' head go down. But today, they got the boot in the arse with a pop quiz given by Mr. Suttles, so ha! to them. FFA will hopefully become more successful this year, as I have more say in it.
FFA has actually not been going so well. Mr. Suttles is going to be a good advisor, hopefully, and Brad will make a good president. Choosing officers has already been proving difficult, tho. Our members are precious to our chapter, b/c they're in such short supply. So even tho one of our members is now being homeschooled, we're welcoming her back as fast as we can. Not only do we want her to be a member; we want her to be an officer. And that's where the controversy begins. Remember I said that Brad was our president? Well, he has half the say in who gets to be what officer, and the other half is Mr. Suttles. Mr. Suttles doesn't know many ppl yet at our school, so Brad has been calling most of the shots. One of the things I've noticed is that Brad appears to be playing favorites. His best friend is now our vice president, and he wanted to make that girl that is now being homeschooled the secretary (the 3rd-highest position of power). This girl happens to be his old crush, flame, current whore, whatever name you want. It's difficult not to be jealous of her. Her father has money out the arse currently, and this girl has everything I ever dreamed of wanting. An active show career, talents at riding, at least 15 good-quality horses, she's pretty, and she's gotten everything she ever wanted. One of my other friends wanted to be secretary next to this girl. So when Brad said he wanted the rich girl to be secretary, my friend and I spoke out about it. I helped her out in getting the job she wanted. We argued that the rich girl didn't have to be secretary; that there are three other positions to be filled. That the rich girl technically shouldn't be an officer, b/c she doesn't go to Seneca and her schedule is swallowed by the show season. On and on and on. I told Lindsay to argue to Mr. Suttles; that he has the hand of power in what goes on in the officer category next to Brad. So she did. And Mr. Suttles called the State Chapter, talked to a few people, and decided the rich girl seriously couldn't be an officer, b/c she wasn't enrolled in the required Ag. class. So my friend is now getting the job. But I called Brad to make sure about it, and Brad made me feel guilty about helping my friend out and throwing a "bitch fit about it." He said that if we had come up to him calmly and we discussed it, there wouldn't have been ne hard feelings. Brad said he just wanted to keep the rich girl involved, since she doesn't go to Seneca nemore. So basically, I helped out my friend, but I got my fingers burned as well; kind of a black mark on my name in Brad's book. I dunno. The only thing you get when you play with fire is burned fingers, I've decided, and it's pretty true. So now all I have to learn is to keep the hands away from the fire. The funny thing about the situation above is that I can't even be an officer, thanx to the Parentals. But I if could've been, I most definitely would've wanted the secretary job. It's the one I wanted last year. Why does that feel so unsettling in this situation?
There are, of course, other things going on right now, but I'm hungry and duh, the homework awaits. Homework is so dull w/o ne music to pass the time and break the monotony. I'm sorry if you won't get this Henry, and my good friend Sly_Pixie, but I really miss you guys and I wish I wasn't on a time limit so I could leave a message for you two. I just hope you get this. Cheers!
