AGAIN?!

OMGZ.

I'm updating instead of doing homework! Ha-Ha! I'll probably get in trouble if my mom walks in and finds me updating my xanga when I SHOULD be reading for AP Language or finish those document questions for APUSH, but I could care less right now. I can do those later while I'm watching HOUSE or something [YES. I LOVE HOUSE. BEST SHOW ON THE FACE OF EARTH. FOREVER AND EVER.]

So to start off my day, I woke up exactly at 6:30, although I wish I would've waken up earlier. I ate breakfast, brushed my teeth and threw on some jeans and a hoodie. I really didn't feel like getting into something more "fancy"...too lazy :) And I dreaded foundations, since I absolutely HATE that class. Mrs. Williams still continues to pick on me, but then I had AP Language so my day got better. I'd rather be in a class with an intimidating and extremely sarcastic Mrs. Wingard than a self-absorbed, crazy Mrs. Williams. Anyways, had a quiz in AP Language on Elements of Style and I think I did okay.

After AP Language I went off to art to continue my hideous painting. I'm serious. I am not fond of my painting AT ALL. It's messy and hideous, at least I think so, but whatever. Blah blah and I went to lunch, ate food and went to Geometry. Didn't do much in that class except for go over Chapter 5 right quick and then move onto a review game, which isn't really review...just a chance for extra credit.

Cross Country was okay. We were doing Big Loop, Little Loop [ you run aggressively...almost like sprinting around this rubber track which is about 1/4 of a mile and then you go up a small set of stairs to move onto the bigger gravel track, which you jog and then you return to the rubber track and do that sprint thing again and do it like six times] but I got out of it, since I hurt my ankle. I decided to run though, because I felt lazy and out of shape, and surprisingly, my ankle felt a lot better after I ran on it and I ran about 2 miles. Unfortuantely I had to stop to walk a couple of times since I got a painful jab in my foot...other than that today's practice was decent.

So all in all, today was normal...like all my other days.

Football game this Friday and Cross Country meet on Saturday.

I also plan on deep cleaning my room this weekend. I feel like my room is too cluttered. [That's why I just got a solid color for a bed spread. I felt like the stripes made my room feel messy. XD It's just brown and it matches my light turquoise-ish walls!]

It's been awhile.

Hey you guys :]

Been a while since I've updated, no? It's kind of odd - Myspace is the big thing now. I remember thinking that Myspace was retarded and a waste of time and that Xanga would always be in the spotlight. I guess I was wrong. I think this is the only place I can really talk about my day and know that not many people read it anymore [and hey, if you do - that's great! I like to know people out there actually read what I'm typing].

It's really hard to believe that I've been in school for over a month now - it's somewhat overwhelming. It's going by way too fast. I wish it wouldn't, because I don't want to grow up too quickly and go off to college. Just the thought of it right now terrifies me :\ But besides that, school has been great. Except for Foundations. I absolutely hate that class with a passion. My teacher is so...annoying. On Friday I was trying to fix the magnetic part of my purse because that magnetic black stuff was coming out of the little circle [I don't know - it was weird] and she came over with her hand out and I just looked at her like, "What?" [I didn't say that...just looked at her] and she was all, "Is that a mirror?" And obviosly it wasn't, because...I was trying to fix my purse. And the thing is, she's always WATCHING me, it's kind of scary. She's always picking on me and such it's rather annoying. I wish she would quit and she definitely does NOT pay attention when she's grading assignments or tests, because so far she's marked two questions on my tests when they were supposed to be right...Other classes are nice.

I love AP Language. I know I sound crazy, people at school think I am, but I'm being honest! Mrs. Wingard is a great teacher and I think she likes me...so...yeah :]. APUSH is another story - that class is just plain boring.

Cross Country has been okay. I twisted my ankle on my first meet. It sucked. A LOT. So I wasn't able to run in the meet today, but I'm hoping I'm able to by next Saturday :].

ANYWAYS.

My mom all of the sudden decided to start going to church. Not that it's bad - I just like have a relaxed Sunday and not getting up early to go anywhere. I've already done that today, thank you. The thing is, it's a Korean church and for some reason that really bothers me, because she's always saying, "Go and meet other people! Not just Koreans!" And the thing is, I only have like...four Korean friends out of the WHOLE KOREAN GANG at school AND the Koreans here aren't the same as they are in Korea. They're a bit more uppity and tight. For some reason that just bugs me [exlcuding the ones I'm friends with].

Um - another thing. Someone got stabbed at the strip mall like three weeks ago. It was pretty bad. After that, they decided to have curfew at the strip mall and no one can walk around after 8 I think. It's not that bad now, but cops are constantly around asking where you're going - since apparently you're not allowed anywhere near the other stores if they're closed, and Barnes and Noble is the only thing open until eleven.

But, I think I'm done for today.

I LOVE YOU ALL WHO READ THIS :]

We are always....CHS!

So, school started on Monday.  This week actually hasn't been that bad, I've enjoyed it. I'm taking two freshman classes this year, since I transferred right in the middle of the year.  It isn't as bad as I thought, but eh...at least I'm not the only Sophomore in that class.  There are some new people, some guys have gotten cuter (actually, that one soph. in my class is kinda cute...) and there's definitely this junior that I think is REALLY cute.  Anyways.  AP Lang and AP US History are kind of scary, esp. AP Lang.  Mrs. Wingard kind of talks like Meryl Streep's character in 'The Devil Wears Prada', except she has more emotion than her.  I've actually had but loads of homework to do the past few days and I just can't wait until the WEEKEND, so I can finally relax. Actually...I have to finish a drawing for Art and finish Chapter 1 of our book for AP US History. I'm definitely enjoying being a sophomore...I'm not a stupid freshman anymore.

Anywhoo, we've had Cross Country practice like EVERY DAY after school for about an hour.  It's been a hell of a week - way too hot to be running outside, everyone gets dehydrated so easily.  I actually almost passed out the other day because I hadn't drank that much water during the day.  Yesterday we worked with hills, which wasn't that bad.  I kind of enjoyed it...the first three or so.  After that, I just couldn't wait to finish.  Although, I've been running about 1 mile - 3 miles a day. So that's about...15 miles if I do three miles every day...hm.

That's all that's really been going on :) .  I guess I'll update later or something.

First football game - Sept. 1st against Hardaway! WHOO.
First Cross Country meet - Sept. 9th against other schools! WHOO.

Close your wandering eyes.

Well, isn't this just wild? I'm actually updating my Xanga. I really don't know what compelled me to come back and update again. I think it might be the fact that I honestly do not feel like doing my homework right now. I know I said to myself that I would do it all day today, but I hate how the internet is so distracting...

...and MSN Messenger.

I actually came back because Frances said that she might start using Xanga again when school started. I agreed, saying the same, but I decided, why not start now? Maybe I could get a head start on practicing my writing for AP Language :P. I'm sure I'll need it. I still haven't finished my MLK book for AP Language and I really should be doing my DJEs right now. They're just a tad bit difficult to concentrate on when my AOL Explorer is opened and calling for me to look at Myspace and Xanga.

So school is starting next Monday. I'm really not that excited. Maybe I will be when I complete all these ridiculous homework assignments that I have. I still have to complete The Three Roosevelts. That book is hard to read, so I read it outloud, and my mom thinks I'm talking to myself.

I've started Cross Country a few weeks ago, sadly I've missed last practice because I pulled a muscle in my hip. I couldn't walk straight for a couple of days and it really hurt when I tried to run on it. I have to go running today, but it's extremely hot outside. I don't know if I want to go and give myself a heat stroke yet :].

You know, I don't even know WHY I'm actually updating this. No one using xanga anymore and I highly doubt anyone will come comment this. (Well, maybe perhaps Frances, but still...) It's always nice to comments waiting to be read :D.

WELL. I have to go and finish my summer homework. Wish me luck? I hope so. Mrs. Wingard already scares me.
