The rest (and lack of it)

Blue ink #5 took me an hour to type. My neck hurts. I don't think this life is very healthy. My legs get cramps, which if you don't know are full of pain. Painful. Turns out they changed the schedule so I have musique every Tuesday and not on Friday. We listened to Beethoven's 7th. Then in Spanish I got called on. It wasn't so bad though. We always get so much HW there though. We learn like 10 new vocabulary words a day and I have it almost every day and I have to like learn them all. Then in math I got 3/5 on that test. That is like not even allowed for me. It'd be a U (60%) at Slauson. I messed up the last 2 questions. But I thought I did them right. Guess not. But I guess with this system that's a pretty good score. I ran part of the way home. I am soooo tired. Practiced my trumpet for 10 minutes, did math, no time to relax, again no time to relax, and bloggggged. My neck has a major crick. I'm hungry. Siiigh. SO much work. SO much stress. SO many problems. And so of course I had to hear that the world was going into another Depression. EXACTLY what I needed. Like, you just can't get any better with news. I feel almost like I'm slacking in school. But it's not as if I want to. I try, I pay attention, all that stuff. But it is sort of hard to fully participate when I don't understand the question or the answer. I aced that spelling test though. We have to write an essay about a place we like to go in or near our house. The teachers here like to say "Ok" or "d'accord" which means basically OK, as a sort of question. And whenever they say that I say OK out loud sometimes, but inside I almost laugh; what you just said, Monsieur or Madame, was not Ok seeing as I didn't understand. 

I guess I'll just try to focus on being happy, not worrying. 'Cause who knows? Maybe I will die or something tomorrow. Oh yeah and I saw a paramedic unit at the school and near my neighborhood which I assumed was for the fainting guy. 

After all of the work, your brain still remembers the things you should remember, but you just have less time. So this is for my future... everything is and is. But sometimes I just want to lie on the grass, you know?

Yeah, as long as it is soft grass. It stinks that you got 60% but as long as the grading there is like here you only lost two points. I messed up like that once in math where I took a really long time doing the problems (got all of them right) and got a D. That made me sad but at least I had a lot of extra credit. Poor Mr. Bartley. You don't want to say hi to him. Just kidding. bye.
