Ya. A wonderful little skill used in History class when we have to answer questions from the book, whether it be a worksheet or questions or whatever. Either way, if you can’t skim, you’re kinda screwed. Really.
I don’t get it, how people in my class have yet to learn how to accomplish this easy task. You are given a question. You take keywords from that question and look for them in the text. You know where to look based on the section headings and the topic of the question. It’s even easier on a worksheet if you start from the first question and go in order, because the questions are all in order, so it will always be after the last answer. And even the questions in the book tend to work that way as well.
And you don’t even have to read anything. It’s basically looking for a certain string of words. That’s all it is. How hard is that? I’ve mastered it, and have had it mastered for quite some time (don’t ask when I learned it, because it was a long time ago, I know that much). Other than the NOT reading part, I don’t see the issue.
Work would be finished SO much faster that way, I mean really! Instead of reading everything, why not just answer the questions by skimming! You’ll get all the important information, and finish in such a smaller amount of time. Now isn’t that what EVERYONE at school wants to do? I think it is, according to the majority (everyone in my class but me) who always shares their opinion.
Speaking of opinion……..Lots of different ones in my class as well. What I don’t get is how these people feel JUSTIFIED in sharing their opinion. That’s what I don’t get. There is no way that what they have to say can be proven. “It’s stupid” or anything like that doesn’t count. You actually have to have a legitimate reason as to why you think that you’re way is the right way. And, actually, you should not only be able to prove your way, but also disprove the other way. It’s only fair. If you were debating, you would be required to do so, and therefore why not practice. You want to go to college, you’ll need that practice.
Speaking of college…..(I am so on a million track mind!)…….The final grades for my online college english class came out yesterday. So I went and looked at them on the expresslane thing. Christina had gotten her grade yesterday and was telling me about it last night on the phone. She said that she had gotten a B+, so I was worried that I got a B- or something like that, because, well, I just was worried about it. Anyway, I got on and looked at my grade. I got an A-! I was so excited! There aren’t number grades, just letter grades, but it’s way awesome that I got an A!!!!! I told my mommy and she said that I did a good job and that I did good. And Christina is jealous of me-she hates me now, but she already hates me (but not really).
But I’m so excited that I got an A! Christina told me that everyone else in our school that was in the class got a B. Funny thing is, the rest of them are Seniors, and I’m a Junior. How weird is that one? I have no idea. Christina said that I got a better grade because the teacher liked me, and not everyone else. Which I don’t believe it, but it’s still funny.
Anyway. That’s all I have to say. I think. I’m sure I could come up with more. Oh ya! I got mail yesterday, and one was from the National Guard. You know, that wouldn’t be such a bad thing-to join the Guard-because that way you wouldn’t have such a high chance of being shipped out, and you would get money for it. I think it would be a better option than the Army or something, because, well, it just doesn’t seem as bad as the rest of them. Of course, they all like to glamorize the job and make it seem as if you’re just doing easy stuff and that it’s not a big deal to go to war and fight people and probably kill people. That’s their job, to make you think that way, but still. Not that I’m thinking about joining the National Guard, it’s just something that I thought about a little this morning when I was looking at my mail. And the money would be nice too, of course. Pay for most of my college expenses……Wouldn’t that be nice? I think so. =P.
Sorry, I’m addicted to this song. Really, I can’t help it.
So anyway. That’s how that goes. And I really don’t know why that has to be the way it goes. And you probably have no idea what I’m refering to, so let me enlighten you……Think back a little while, the whole tired and don’t feel good, and not really angry, but not really happy….Ya, that. Not fun stuff. Well, it’s back. And it’s SO unwelcome. How am I supposed to function like that? I don’t see how. Well, I don’t see a lot of things, but that’s beside the point. The point is that it’s not fun, and it’s not all that great.
There’s not a whole lot I can tell Sean in explanation. He just thinks I had a bad day yesterday and another one so far today. Which it is that-in the loosest of terms. But, that’s not it for a fact. I’m not in all that great of a mood, and I can’t really be cheered up, even though he tries really hard. He’s good at it, other than when it’s this kind of thing. And I thought I was over that one for a long while. Guess I spoke too soon. On top of that, not only is it back, but there’s nothing I can say for it. Like I said, he just thinks it’s a bad day. But that’s not it. I’m not angry. I’m not sad. Anything. That’s the problem. I just want to sleep and stay that way for an hour or five. That’s not the same thing, is it.
So, what am I supposed to do? I know I ask that a lot, and don’t ever really get any answers, like at all, but I don’t mind it so much. The main point is that I still hav to think about it, I guess. That’s no fun. =P. Well, it could be, but very unlikely that it is fun. But what am I supposed to say? Do I attempt to explain, or do I see how long it’ll last (hopefully not long). Or do I just keep putting it off and not saying anything about it as long as I can (something I’ve done before, and didn’t turn out well. Not well at all).
I don’t want to keep anything away from him, and hide stuff; It just doesn’t seem right, at all. And on top of that, I really just don’t want to keep “lying” to him, even though it’s not really lying. Close enough though, I guess.
But other than that, what am I supposed to do about it? Other than the worrying about telling Sean part, there’s the part about how I just want it to go away! I mean, why does there have to be days (normally coming in strings) in which I feel nothing for more than a few minutes at a time. Certainly, that can’t be healthy. And if it is, well then I’m fucked because if that’s healthy, healthy sucks. Anyway…..Back to topic……I don’t enjoy the whole “feel nothing” thing. Apathy isn’t a good thing. I can’t be happy for more than minutes a time, can’t be angry for more than a split second, sad for more than a few moments, it just sucks. It ends up with me feeling nothing and just going throughout the day missing a lot of stuff. There is no happy, when there should be. There’s angry bursts at tiny little things, with the bursts leaving after a few seconds, and then it’s all over. Is that a good thing? I certainly hope not!
I just don’t know anymore. Really, I don’t. Nothing makes sense. And, you know, I like things to make sense-confusion doesn’t suit me. At all.
So anyway…..Ya, I already said about how Sean was going to come to my house on Saturday. And so he did. And we played Super Smash Brothers Melee for an hour and a half and I kicked his butt at it. It was great. I so won. And then we played Pong for twenty minutes, and I so won at that too! It was hilarious-because I beat him at PONG, one of the easiest games ever. But that’s okay, because I won. =P. And then he had to go home, but that’s okay, because I so won. It was great.
Then on Sunday, we went down to the store and played pool. I actually WON one game-the right way. The other six or so I won because Sean got the eight ball in. It was hilarious, because he lost every single game. It was funny. =P. But I won! So that’s always nice.
And anyway, he got a phone on Saturday, and it’s one of the cool Verizon pay-as-you-go phone. And so he called me on it, just to brag…=P. And then he called me Saturday night, and we actually got to talk for a WHOLE HOUR! It was way cool. And my mommy doesn’t mind! Just I can’t talk that much (that late, because it was at 9:45 to 10:45) on school nights. And I talked to his mommy on the phone too. That was funny. And then Sean and I talked lots and lots-about nothing, of course!
And we had one of those kind of talks today (Monday)…..About more serious things. Actually, we have serious talks a lot, it’s nice. We can be absolutely hilariously ridiculous, and then serious too. It’s a good thing. Anyway, serious conversation!……..And so ya. We talked about what happens when Corena comes back (because I was over the whole her coming back thing, and knew nothing would happen, but my mommy made me think about it, and got me all worked up over it again, because I’m like that) and so we talked about that on the bus and then some more at lunch. And I WAS SO RIGHT…….=P.
But moving on……
Sean is just way cool. And he is the sweetest person. I think. =P. And he is just so much fun to be with, and talk to (about anything) and is fun to play SSBM and Pong and Pool with (whether I win or not). And I would just spend time upon time upon time with him and not mind at all. It would actually be really, really cool.
OH!!!! Tomorrow, in third and fourth period, we (as a whole school) are getting out of classes, to watch a movie, because we “earned” it from the can food drive two weeks ago. Anyway, we’re watching “Surf’s Up.” I haven’t seen it. I hope it’s good. But I probably won’t pay much attention to the movie, considering that’s about an hour and a half of free time to spend with Sean! =P. Maybe watch the movie too. But come on! Nothing bad! It’s school! =D
So…..Today is a half day, and it’s afternoon classes, so I have Econ, “english” which is over till the seventh of Jan. so I get free time, then Math, and then Spanish. YAY!!! Then lunch and then go home. Then I have no idea what I’m doing for the rest of the day, but, well, I’ll find something….=P.
OKAY……..You all need to go onto youtube and then listen to this song (warning….it does have bad words, but it’s a kick ass song….) http://youtube.com/watch?v=bM7tdWRkBp0 Ya. Just go there and listen to it. It’s greatness. I promise. It’s a mash of Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer” and the Beatles’ “Come Together.” It’s an awesome song. And I am so going to spend time this weekend looking for the MP3, because I NEED IT. Seriously.
Anyway……Onto my original topic. Guess who gets to come over this weekend!?!?!?!? Ya, I’m sure you can tell by now! It’s gonna be so cool. I have no idea what we’re going to do, or what we’re going to be allowed to do, but that’s beside the point at the moment-Sean gets to come over to my house! YAYNESS!!!!!! It’s so exciting! Really.
Hmmmm……What else can I say about Sean….Oh, lots of things. But most of it is just to happified to write. I’m not good at the whole adjective thing, sometimes I am, but not today! Anyway, Sean is just awesome. He’s hilarious, and I mean it. And he’s mean-to mean people. And nice-to nice people, and that’s me! =P. And we were really good friends before we got together, so that only makes it even better! And, you know what else, I can say ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that I want to to him, and not have to worry about it. That’s always a plus. Seriously. =P
Okay…Well, before I get to the question itself, let me fill you in….=P
Sean and I are doing, like, AWESOME! I mean, seriously. But then, how could anything be bad after a few days, right? Well, it is possible, but not likely. But that’s okay. But nothing bad. And he calls me everyday! That’s nice too. And we got to hang out on Saturday and play pool down at the store, because we got to. And it was way fun. And then we didn’t get to do anything Sunday because the weather was nasty, but other than that we talked on the phone, so that wasn’t too bad. And ya, it’s just way cool. And hilarious because Sean is a very funny person, and that’s always a good thing, beacuse I’m me-hello, I LOVE laughing. =P.
Anyway…..The question is….Do I get a new blog? I mean, I know I should, and not write on this one. But then, I already have one that was made recently. www.substantialiscious.blogspot.com Not that it’s any good, but it’s there. I hardly ever write on it. That’s the crazy thing. Anyway, I hardly write on my other blog…. www.falconsgirl.wordpress.com I still get hits and stuff on it, so I keep it around. And I’ve become very fond of this blog. Partly because it’s done so well, and it’s pretty much like my little innatimate object baby…..=P But it’s weird, because it’s like the “baby” from another person, and even though Sean is pretty much clueless as to any of this, it just doesn’t really seem all that great. I don’t know. I may be moving to my blogspot. Well, I guess not, because Blogger sucks. But then I’d have to get a new WordPress. Either way, I will definitely tell you what the new one is, if I even get a new one.
Anyway, that’s all I’ve got to say at the moment, without making you gag or anything-because of all the happy happy joy joy stuff I hve to say about Sean. So I guess that’s it. For now….=P
Okay, so the big deal was: was Sean just being nice, or did he mean all his stuff the way I thought he meant it. Well, I know the answer as of, yesterday! YAYNESS!!!! I mean, I thought I was right, and I kept thinking that I was right, all these “hints” and stuff, if that’s what you want to call it. And, well, I found out the reason behind it, and OH MY GOSH, do I feel smart. And just overall wonderful! Of course!
So anyway, yesterday afternoon was VERY eventful. And, well, it just kinda happened. I’m sure you want to know what happened, but I think I can withold that information and not tell you exactly what happened. I will, however, enlighten you to the point where I tell you some stuff:
I guess you know enough about it. But it’s way cool, because, well, it just is. If only you knew all the things I wrote about him and how he confused me, and now I’m not confused anymore! But what I wrote about it all-started last Tuesday-are these “letters” which are way awesome, but I guess I am biased, huh.
But anyway, that’s the funnes of my day. And yesterday.
It’s just really, really, REALLY, great. If you know what I mean. Just not really in THAT way. I think. =P.
So other than that……Actually, to tell the truth, there isn’t really much else to say other than that, so I’ll elaborate more, because I can, and I want to, and I feel like it…..!!!!!
So anyway……….Last night was hilarious, because I’d just be sitting there, doing nothing, and then it would just pop into my head-oh ya, guess what?-and then these “chills” and then smiles and giggles. It was hilarious. AND I woke up early this morning…..About 5:45, when the alarm doesn’t go off until 6:20. It was funny though.
And the bus ride yesterday afternoon-we were pretty much the only people in the back, so it was pretty much do whatever, kind of, and it was funny. I like it that way though, because there’s nobody to distract the conversation and nobody to interupt-I hate the interupting. And the same thing this morning. So that was cool too.
But last afternoon was fairly awkward, but the good kind of awkward. Like “I feel uncomfortable, but I’m comfortable being uncomfortable with this person, so it’s okay, and then it’s not really uncomfortable after all, but it’s still fairly awkward, because there’s some things I want to say, yet don’t want to…..” You know how it is. And then he just took it in his own hands, so that was good……..Funny too.
Okay okay okay. I guess that’s all. I’m gonna go now and revel in my good luck, and my funniness from yesterday, and the stuff, and today, and all of it. It’s just great. REALLY.
You know, it is very rare when I write two posts a day on here…Unless they’re of the variety where I copy paste things that I’ve written from other sources. But anyway….Very rare, so be happy about it! =P.
So anyway………it’s Thursday afternoon now. YAY!!! It’s almost over! Oh good. =P. Well, I guess there’s more to write about than first met my eye…….=P. Funny funny funny!!!! Not really, but still. So…….That’s cool. Sean and Tiana DIDN’T skip, so that’s funny. They chickened out-I figured they would, but then again I didnt’. Oh well. So, Sean came in with my class third period-weights-and finally believes me about the nothingness that we do in that class. Amazingly, we did kattlebells today……We haven’t done those in FOREVER. But that’s okay, because they’re always easy. So that was cool though, because I didnt’ have to be silent all period because there was nobody to talk to. I think I talked the most in that class ALL YEAR. He should be in there more often…..=P
Fourth period wasnt’ that bad, I guess. Just really really slow. But that’s okay, I guess. Lunch sucked. And then on the way back over from the cafeteria, we had to run, because it was pouring and we really didn’t feel like getting soaked, even though we did mildly anyway…….=P.
Then after this is math…….Not really looking forward to it. Math isn’t as much fun anymore, I don’t really know why though. Probably just because we’re not really doing anything that’s really NEW, it’s stuff we’ve done before. And so that’s not fun. And then, I’m just not into math and science like I used to be. More of the language and arts kind of thing, if you haven’t noticed. More thinking than textbook definitions. But that’s a good thing! And in high school science and math, there isn’t really a whole lot of new thinking being given to you, more of you do what the book says…..Unlike language arts and stuff like that where you HAVE to think for yourself, or it’s just as much fun.
