Dear Diary,

Today is Monday, April 21, 2008.

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I know I always say things are busy and stressful, but this month especially has been difficult. With school almost over, teachers are rushing through lessons and we are trying to keep up with the amount of homework we have. Especially my teachers load on the homework after the weekend. Today has not been a good one, I'm afraid.

Another crappy day to report. Just not the best. I woke up late to begin with, and I had to lug two violins (although in a double case, still heavy) to school for orchestra because I'm finally able to pick a new one.
Orchestra was odd because it seemed to last longer than usual...

Already I had loads of homework before gym. I had an entire English poem to write, although short, it would take some time to think out and put into nice, flowing words. And in Social Studies, we had our Newsgame and some questions from our textbook, which often require long, lengthy answers.

In Gym, I hadn't realized that we were in the classroom discussing steroids, so I got changed into my uniform, already late enough, and I discovered I didn't know where our class was. And of course, we were in the Social Studies room! GRR! And the steroids video wasn't interesting because I already knew the information we were learning. Haven't we already gone over this information in 6th and 7th grade?

Animation was boring, as usual. We got our grades back from our animation, and we got a B because we didn't have enough slides. Just another addition to another perfect day!

And then Science... the REAL downer. I had slaved away for two days working on this precious lab that was supposed to be perfect, and then I get a C on it. I have never received a C before. I swear, I was about to cry during Science. I was holding back tears, and the worst part is, Mr. Flamich didn't even notice. All he could do was praise the people and smile at the people who did well, which made me feel even worse. I felt so ashamed, I felt as if  I couldn't face him again. And what does he do? After Science, we were waiting outside for Math, and he walks up the stairs and just walks by us and stands by the window... I didn't want to be reminded of this horrible lab report and there he is, walking by! I know this is a little overreacting but this day was already terrible enough.

Math was the only highlight of my day. I got a 99% on my Math test! The only problem was that the new concepts we were learning were a little difficult to understand, which reflected in my homework.

Spanish was terrible also... We have 3, YES THREE take home tests due within the next week! Already we had a massive amount of homework in each subject and now THIS?! I don't have the time!

And to top that, we started to review over our packets, and because our teacher wanted to catch up with the other classes, we stayed FIFTEEN MINUTES after the bell rang. She tried to comfort us with chocolate Hershey kisses, but I was not pleased. I was worried I was going to miss the bus, and I almost did!

I had to run back to my locker in order to grab my books and not miss the bus. The bus was waiting when I got back outside, and I had to bring the violin case home, so I had to stall the bus and grab my violin before it was too late! I finally made the bus and due to all the fast amount of running I felt as if I was about to collapse or pass out.

And then, I realized my iPod was at Charlotte's house from the sleepover this weekend. Her mother confirmed it. I remembered then that I had an orthodontist appt. today, so I asked my mom if I could stop by Charlotte's after the appointment. She agreed, and quickly after the bus arrived we saw her car (my brother and I) and hopped in. No one would listen to me in the car, and trying to get in a better mood was no use. I just sat and sulked in the car because we had to leave soon for our appt. anyway. The appt. didn't take long but I wanted to get home as quickly as possible because of my load of homework.

We finally got to Charlotte's house and greeted her mom at the door. My mom and her mom proceeded to talk for about 20 minutes. I was pressed for time, but I didn't want to interrupt so I stayed polite. But finally I realized it was cutting close to a half an hour, and we had no time left. The music on the radio cheered me up a bit but not completely because I still had several hours of homework left.

As I said, the math confusion reflected in my homework. It took me AN HOUR to do my math homework because I was picky about knowing what I was doing. The English took me about another hour and then the Newsgame took me another hour because I couldn't find this one question, which I needed to have help from my mom and dad in order to solve. I just finished my Science reading and Social Studies questions, and I am WIPED OUT.

I know that this whole post was basically a rant about how stressful everything is at school lately, but now you can see the daily routine of my life. ENJOY! Just kidding! I guess this isn't a normal day for me, usually there's not AS much stress involved, but there is a fair amount.

Now, as promised, I will now attach one of my other YouTube videos. PLEASE subscribe and become friends if you are a member! My username is Horselvr1188. I have made 23 videos; please enjoy and check out my channel!

This is a video of five random facts about myself!

Hey meg!
Thanks for your comment! Sorry to hear about your crappy day. Sydney white was not released here but we got the DVD of amazon that's how i've only just seen it.
yeh I also agree with the kids choice awards her voice wasn't at her best! My school is good except we've got our S.A.Ts on may 6th and i'm realy nervous! Hope to hear from you soon
Love BB!!
P.S your new book looks interesting!

Hi Meg. I suppose I should have guessed a long time ago from the looks of your username, but I didn't know you were involved in horse-back riding. I was obsessed with horses from the time I was, like, five until I finally started riding when I was nine. I was completely in love with it for years, and was in some pretty major competitions, but after a while I decided to pursue other things, because it really is a lot of work. Anyway, I would love to hear about some of your riding experiences! Take care, and I hope to talk to you soon! :)

I definitely understand why you wouldn't be into the White Stripes. My father is a musician for a living, so, from a very young age, I was introduced to some pretty crazy music. I mean, by the time I was eight, I was already rocking out to Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins, and being dragged into bars at midnight to see my dad and his band play until two in the morning. But it's kind of weird because not a lot of girls my age are familiar with bands like Radiohead and Foo Fighters and all the stuff my father calls the "classics of rock." But, as you also mentioned, I do listen to some slightly more poppy stuff like Maroon 5 and Fall Out Boy. Hey, if you're into Maroon-5ish stuff, check out Death Cab for Cutie. No one else thinks so, but I've always thought something about them sounded a bit like an Adam Levine kind of thing. :)

Hope to talk to you soon!
