Only four days left, people. As much as everyone is aware of this and counting it down, too, it still seems important. Look back to last May and you'll see one of these there too. This is just a little more condensed.
I DON'T WANT HIGH SCHOOL TO GO THIS FAST.
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE ALL MY FRIENDS BEHIND, EVEN IF WE STILL TALK.I WANT TO LIVE MY DAYS AS A KID, MORE SO THAN I AM NOW.
I'M SCARED OF GOING TO COLLEGE.I'M SCARED OF THE FUTURE.
THESE THINGS FRIGHTEN ME.
MORE THAN ALMOST ANYTHING ELSE.
That's honesty right there. I mean everything. So only four days left. And it scares me.
But enough of that. Such is life. I just checked my grades today and I'm actually pulling straight A's at the moment. Freakin' awesome, right? That's chemistry included! F YES! Hopefully that will buoy the semester tests I'm bombing... After the aforementioned failing I'll post my sophomore second semester grades, which are hopefully still maintaining those A's, although that's unlikely. Then onto junior year...see above...
WHO WANTS TO GO TO WARPED TOUR THIS YEAR?!?! MELANIE!!! Go look up the August 2nd Minneapolis date. It's pretty intense. Looking forward to begging to go. Speaking of concerts...
How long until The Believers Never Die, Part Deux Show?: 6 days!
...That's a fail countdown right there. Looking forward to that too. Anybody have a 200 dollars they don't want? 100? A camera?And finally:

P.S. Thanks for the quote, Korra.
Ahh...Christmas break. Two weeks of FREEDOM. No more homework, crazy teachers, studying, semester tests, failures or stress for TWO WEEKS. It feels so nice. Last year around this time I really got down in the dumps. I don't know what it was, just the feeling of doing nothing I suppose, but not this year! I don't know what happened to me because this is amazing. Then again, it's only fourth day of break. But, thinking of school for the first time, I'll post you my semester grades and next semester schedule...
GRADES
- Geometry: 92.89% A
- Spanish I: 95.76% A
- Chemistry: 88.57% B (STUPID CHEMISTRY! I'm not complaining, though. I'm glad I passed with something better than a D.)
- Psychology: 98.02% A
- Acc. English II: 94.53% A
- Mod. Civilization: 97.79% A
SEMESTER TWO
1 - Spanish I w/ Oros
2 - World Geo. I w/ Pooley
3 - Chemistry w/ Bechard
4 - Geometry w/ Wilson
5A - Lunch
5B - Study w/ Powell
6 - Acc. English II w/ Klawonn
7 - Psychology II w/ Aukerman
Overall, I'm quite happy with both, especially with my next semester schedule. I was going to have a hard time letting go of my classes, especially Modern Civilization and Psychology. But alas! My schedule change went through and I got into Psych II and have World Geography I with Mr. Pooley. I was ecstatic. And I found that out on my birthday. Some things just work out so nicely. But please post comments! Tell me if you have any classes with me!
Speaking of my birthday...I'm 16 now! And my mom already wants me to get a real job...and I've been 16 for less than a week. Some of my family decided to come to the party on the day of my birthday. It was kind of a disappointment, but I don't expect much more from the Dumdei family. Then, on Sunday I had my party with my friends. The original plan was to go sledding, but I didn't think anyone wanted instant hypothermia in the -35 below zero weather. So, we played board games and hide and go seek and sardines and had a great time.
Well, just because I'm on break doesn't mean I have to do chores, so more later.

Well, after being jipped of my All Time Low concert and taken to freakin' Disney World, this just had to happen. The time some decent bands come to Sioux Falls for an event not related to LifeLight, the only band I go to see cancels. I don't blame The Cab. They haven't said anything as far as I know, but bands only cancel if something bad happens, such as an illness, injury or van breakdown, etc. How would they make money otherwise? It's not their fault, it's just my luck.
Life is not looking up, especially after this little incident. After missing a week of school, my grades are suffering. I only have A's in Spanish and Psychology, my easy classes. Everything else is not good. B's in Geometry and English, a D in Chemistry and I am failing Modern Civilization. Seeing as I usually keep straight A's, this is not a good ordeal. My parents get pissed if I have B's, and midterms are coming home this week. Chemistry I completely don't understand, I wouldn't be surprised if that grade just sank lower and lower. Mr. Bechard is frustrating, and he doesn't really teach ANYTHING. We have a multitude of homework today, that I haven't completed due to my lack of understanding of ANY of it. Modern Civ, I'm not worried about, which sound odd. But, I just missed a test and Mr. Pooley entered the grade and mine is listed as missing. I intend to make that up tomorrow afternoon, and then I will have at least a B. I'm fine in that category. After the stupid English project is over, I won't be so stressed over that. There's no hope for Chemistry, but all I can do is pray that I understand it eventually.
We're studying stress in Psych these days, and I can't help but think of myself. Mr. Aukerman even found some stress tests specifically for me. I didn't take them, but the message was clear. It's not just me feeling I'm stressed out. It's obviously noticable. I don't seem to sleep enough every night, I always feel exhausted and brain-dead during school. That mindless feeling does not help me concentrate in the least bit, and I wonder why I'm bombing things and getting bad grades in classes.
Oh, yeah. I missed a freakin' week for the Happiest Place On Earth. Looking back, it wasn't magical. It only caused pain now.

P.S. I'll post some Disney World pics on Facebook eventually. After I get out of this hellhole.
P.S.S. 3 days
