Dear Diary,

To my fellow Bravenet users and blog readers, I wanted to post on Tuesday, but I had forgotten and had planned to write today for Tuesday. But for the life of me I cannot remember what happened on Tuesday... I have a better long term memory rather than short term. So, I will write a long post today to make up for the absence on Tuesday.

I realized that in one of my previous posts said "I will not discuss the Louisa issue on my blog anymore", and I feel I cannot. I will mention her less, but I feel the issue is still an important part of my life and one of the hurdles in the friendship circle that I will have to overcome and jump over in order to move on.

Now I will report on today...

I have noticed (and you probably have too) that I have slept in quite often over the past few weeks. I don't know if I fall asleep too late or I am up to early... I just have been in the habit of snoozing when I should be waking. My fault, absolutely. But I wish I could change this about myself. I claim I don't procrastinate, which is true in some cases. But things I don't necessarily have to do for school, I put them off for later. Or, if I receive assignments over the weekend, I often procrastinate until Sunday afternoon and evening. I am usually an organized, "get it done" person who shares a similar philosophy, but on occasion, I tend to do the opposite. For example, I had the entire summer to complete a Spanish packet and I started to complete the packet on the day before school started!
My grandfather used to say to my mother "Stupid is a stupid word". I do not use the word stupid (although I just did), so instead I will say this action was "unintelligent". Lol.

But to move on to more serious matters, I purposely slept in this morning because Orchestra was canceled due to an upcoming concert for the middle school. I found my shower curtain down for the second time in the past few days. My mom and I managed to put the curtain in the proper place, and I took a shower and hurried downstairs to eat a quick breakfast and head out the door to the bus.

I turned on my iPod about a minute after I was seated and waited until we reached Mary's stop to say hello and explained to her that Orchestra was canceled. Now, I was a little tired this morning, so instead of moving to the back to sit near and chat with Mary and soon Reilly and Andria, I remained in the same seat the entire ride until we got off at my school in which I watched them chase each other and push each other around as a joke. I waved goodbye to  Mary and Reilly inside, for they were  headed to the library while Andria and I walked downstairs and departed at our classrooms. I put my backpack in my locker and watched as a boy named Mikey in our class sat in a chair and was pushed down the hill of the location of our lockers. He crashed into the rug at the bottom and fell off the chair. Our entire advisory laughed, including Mikey, as he pushed his chair back up the hill.

Mr. Flamich tends to be late to everything, so we normally have to wait outside for several minutes after the bell rings for morning advisory. Jack, my partner for the Math problem / Quiz, and I worked on our problem. We found out many important pieces of information as we worked together.

Mr. Flamich finally arrived and we took our morning advisory seats. He called attention as Dana read the Daily Bulletin and we headed off to Social Studies. Our new teacher, Mr. Rice (our permanent teacher) handed us a packet and we did an activity on determining whether a case would be decided as Criminal or civil, and Federal or state. I had most of my answers correct, but a few wrong which I corrected.

In English, we wrote a diary entry for one of the characters in To Kill A Mockingbird as a warm-up. I chose Jem and summarized the past few weeks of the part in the book we are reading now. I enjoy To Kill a Mockingbird, and I love our new teacher, Mrs. S, much better than our teacher last year! Both excellent teachers but different habits and personalities.

In gym, we continued our heart rate unit and today Anna, Eleanor and I did Tae-Bo. Lol. A fun exercise! We had a take-home test for homework which I completed as well as our Social Studies packet during lunch.

Our construction article in newspaper is finished. We had a short staff meeting and then proceeded to type on our computers for the rest of the period.

In Science, we learned about concentration of solutions. A lesson extended into an entire period of note-taking, in my opinion. But I learned much from this lesson.

In Math, we worked on our problem / quiz. We found several ways of solving but still have not found the quickest way. We will try to calculate another tomorrow and organize our solutions.

In Spanish, we reviewed for our test tomorrow. I have good grades in all of my subjects, but Spanish is my best. I have either a 99 or 100 %, or A+. I believe I have a talent for languages, and I am glad because our teacher is strict and has favorites for those that are smart!

I took the bus on the way home and listened to my iPod most of the time. I came home and immediately did my homework will I let Penny out and listened to music.

I played Guitar Hero for a short period of time and then came upstairs for dinner. I am currently knitting a scarf for my grandmother's birthday. I don't think I have mentioned this but tomorrow after school I am on a plane to California to visit my grandmother with my dad for her birthday and I am excited! I LOVE traveling, which is one of the reasons I want to be a journalist (or doctor) when I grow up.

I went to Karate and worked hard, and I came home to do some more knitting. I have to finish this scarf by Saturday morning when I see my grandmother (we won't be at her house until late Friday night). I came upstairs and checked out some iTunes songs and now I am typing on my blog.

Another issue to discuss... for a LONG time I have wanted to be a writer, and now I want to be a journalist. But as I discovered last year how much I enjoyed biology, and after watching House and Grey's Anatomy, I realized I may want to become a doctor as well... My compromise is that I am a doctor who writes articles or books about my experiences in the hospital, but I do not know how this will work out.

I have noticed a little annoyance with me from Ashley and Mary recently, and I told them so in a text message after school. We are cool now and I'm glad.

I'm packed for California, and I leave after school. I may be able to write in my blog over the weekend, but I do not know if my uncle (whom I will see also) or grandmother has Wireless Internet (or Internet at all!)

Well, doesn't that make up for a lost post? More on Saturday! (I hope!)

P.S. I may have to delete this blog and create a new one because of the Flixter "Widget" that will not disappear! Anyone who has dealt with this problem? Please let me know!
