I think I'm getting a cold.

Which means everyone should be careful. If I am sick, I'll be better in a few days but if you guys get it...

You know it'll be weeks until you're better.

So I'll try not to breathe on you and I guess we'll have to stop the late night rendezvous and make-out sessions. Someone will have to inform Kelly's mom for me.

I had some tea and five billion glasses of orange juice earlier. My throat doesn't hurt as much but I still feel like I got hit by a truck.

If I didn't have tests or quizzes almost every day this week, I'd try to skip out on this usual waste of school.

I know everyone is sick now and I really hope you all get better soon! Go to bed early and drink lots of fluids.

I love you all.

P.S. If Nick gets sick, I'll feel so bad... I think I might die. I'll feel really bad. I'll never forgive myself.

Today is six months for Nick and me.

Six months is the longest any relationship has lasted for me.

I love you all.

Finished ACT at 11:28.

Got home around noon fourty-five.

Was easier than the first time.

Only thing I didn't know and know I definitely got wrong was the trigonometry jazz.

I love you all.

ACT
Retesting may be a good idea if you see a discrepancy between your ACT scores and your high school grades, or if you have completed coursework or an intensive review in the subject areas included in the ACT since you were tested.

Here I am, awake (on a Saturday at the time I usually get up for school) to take a test I've already taken.

There's never a day so lovely as one that feels useless, like a waste of time and effort.

The only joys are that Kelly and Katie will be suffering with me (though they will not be at the same location as I), and it doesn't feel like it takes the four hours that it actually takes to finish the test.


I'm so tired of days that feel like the night.


I love you all.

Bet your bottom dollar on me.


I retake the ACT tomorrow morning. 8 am.

So far, everyone I've talked to who has retaken it has gotten a lower score the second time.

Joy.

Really, though, it won't hurt me any!

I'll be home around 1.

Tonight is movie night but my sister's gone so I'll just watch my favorite movie and go to bed early.

I love you all. Good luck to Katie and Kelly tomorrow.

P.S. I don't know if Andy is reading or already knows but the year on the date is messed up. I'm pretty sure it's not the year 104. I usually just change it.

So here I am in French class "working on our project due on Monday".

I typed in Woohu to come here and be not bored. There was already someone sometime who had gone to Woohu on this computer. In fact, they'd gone to Ben's journal. Not kuso_dude, the other one.

It's cool how we all randomly run into each other or what we've done without even meaning to.

I'm going to go "work on my project".

I love you all.

Kelly...again.

This is for Kelly. A day late because I always miss the 8th.
It was the fearful night of December 8th
He was returning home from the studio late
He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice
Because in 1980 he paid the price

John Lennon died...

With a Smith & Wesson 38
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate
He should have stayed at home
He should have never cared
And the man who took his life declared

He said
"I just shot John Lennon"
He said
"I just shot John Lennon"

What a sad and sorry
And sickening sight
What a sad and sorry
And sickening night...



P.S. Journal layout changed.

Yesterday, after the attempted usurping of anime club, I went to Nick's.

It was really nice.

Today we were supposed to do our presentation in AP Lit but Mr. Watson rushed everyone and was wigging out. We still didn't have time to go so I guess we go tomorrow.

I finished my AP Lit King Lear study guide in two hours (minus a few questions I couldn't find the answers to). My brother has his choir concert tonight at 7:30 I think but we'll be leaving around 7. I still have Physics Concepts to do.

I went to bed early last night. 10:33.

I have a French project due Monday. A Physics Concepts test on Monday. A math test on Tuesday. Anime club on Wednesday. A scene read/act on Friday in AP Lit and 6 pages due.

And more stuff probably.

Nick's surgery is in less than a week and I must admit, I'm worried. He has his surgery on the 15th, Wednesday.

Please pray for him.

I love you all.

Wrote my paper. It was pretty easy. I need to stop procrastinating.

I'm doing alright. Once I get past today, I'll be less stressed.

I love you all.

Got yelled at by Watson today. Cried.

Wasn't feeling well. Cried.

Have a paper to write, will do it in the morning and cry.

Life is blah but I can change it if I want to.

Psych test tomorrow. ACT retake on Saturday. French project due Monday. Japanese presentation tomorrow.

I'm just blah.

I love you all.

Last night, I went shopping with my parents.

The best part of the night was when we stopped at a restaurant to grab something small to eat.

My parents and I got deep into the college discussion. My mom said that since I have, with scholarships, paid about half of the tuition for Aquinas, I can go.

I am so happy about that.

I mentioned that I want to drive. I don't know what happened this past week (I hit my head or something) but I really want to drive.

So the plan is thus:

I turn 18 at the end of January. Until then, I'll practice driving. Once I get my license, my mom will teach me how to drive the bug. My father is going to leave Meijer sometime and work with his friend Pat. Pat will give him a company car and I'll get the bug.

I'll go to Aquinas next fall.

My mom said that she does not want me to work my way through college like she did. She worked two jobs, one until 4 and the other a half an hour later until 10 or 11.

Life is looking good.

And for the first time in my life, I cannot wait until I can drive.

However, today I have to write 6 pages and a paper that I really don't want to do.


Hannah and I are going to make a radio.

I love you all.

GVSU was okay.

I like Aquinas a lot more.

I want to check out University of Dayton, the college my mom went to.

Apparently, the students had a choice of what to put in their little commons thing and they all wanted DDR.

I don't want to check UD out because I want to go there though. I just want to see where my mom went to school. It costs too much to even think about going there.

Anyway, GVSU was the school I wanted to go to for a while but now...

Meh. I don't really like it actually.

I love you all.

Today I'm going with my mom to GVSU. Our thing is at 11 so I don't know what time we'll be leaving.

It is only supposed to last 2 hours so, realistically, I could have gone to school and then left when we had to go. I could also return to school afterwards.

Nope.

I'd have to leave third hour and today I had 6 pages and a paper due in second hour. I also had a French quiz first hour. Then if I returned to school, I'd only catch sixth (maybe the last bit of fifth) hour. The last hour of the day.

Plus I needed to catch up on some sleep and stop stressing out.



Life - school:

I went to see the play at Cedar last night. Nick was in two scenes, one right after the other, and he operated the trapdoor. w00t. It was a pretty okay production. I mean, I'm used to Rockford's plays and ours...

Nick doesn't go back to work until after New Year's Day. He has his surgery on the 15th, still.

It snowed last night. Not for very long but it came down pretty fast for a little bit.

Kelly and I have a mad French story in the works about an airplane and a mirror/ice cream.

I miss my Kittie Katie.

Um.

Yeah.

Katie and I need to get started on our prom dresses.

There's more but I can't think today. Or ever.

I love you all.

Nick said some kid who is in the play knows me as Angel Bob.

So.

Hi, kid, great play.

I love you all.

Kelly, here's a French slang dictionary. It has the definition for zapper there, my huge dictionary doesn't.

Zapper: ne pas s'attarder sur quelque chose, passer rapidement d'une chose à une autre.

To not linger on something, to pass/go/move quickly from one thing to another.

Yeah. So the song's name was "Laisse-moi zapper".
