My blog officially turns one year-old tomorrow~!

All in all, 08 was a pretty interesting year, not good, not bad. I mean, bad things happened to me/others, but it is 09 now, so it's time to stop dwelling on them. And all that good, interesting stuff that happened! It's hard to say that last year sucked, because it really didn't suck in the grand scheme of things. I think that the bad things that happend are just reminders to make this year a better year.

I'm learning to take the bad with the good instead of taking all the negitive in, if you haven't noticed. :']

At Amy's going-away party Tom told me that I complain too much...

I actually agree with him to a degree. I think that if I was maybe a tad bit more positive and willing, I would not feel the need to complain. I wouldn't feel the need to attract all that negative attention to myself. It makes me a hypocryte to tell people to be open-minded and have fun, when I'm not even willing enough to try charades. But I do think that sometimes I need to complain, because NOTHING EVER GETS DONE if I don't. We're all so A.D.D and it makes it difficult to actually accomplish a task. Even something so simple as cutting carrots became a whole big thing because we didn't plan. Calvin cut nearly a whole carrot for fried rice, nicely diced, but we ended up not needing as much as we thought. We end up phailing making odd changes to plans like the Day in DC (Which i did not attend, but I'm honestly glad I did not attend), because no one wants to stick to the plans, if you have said you want to go do something, that some people might only be there for, I don't think walking all day looking for starbucks is the way people wanted to spend their day might I add, we should do it. It makes me very mad when no one is willing to actually stick with a plan, because you can't rely on spontaneity (thanks for helping me pronounce that Vy-anh :]) all the way through.


School is getting to me, it really is.

The only things I look foreward to are Feasting Fridays and Matching Thursdays with my friends. And the weekend, of course.

I'm so sick of it. The teachers, the fake people, the stress, the boredom. I think that maybe school is what's making me such an asshole right now.

I hate midterms for one reason: Kids who cry when their scores are low.

To be honest, Midterms don't count for much. As long as you do well in each quarter, your grade will even out. If you think about it, finals count for as much. So, just, do better then? I hate it when kids talk about grades as such a big deal. Because in the long run, it's not how well you accomplished a task, it's what you accomplished that makes you great.

Taking honors/AP rather than regular, and getting a C+ or a C is not terrible!

If your GPA is lowISH, and you're trying, w/ APs and Honors courses, you are a perfectly acceptable candidate, as long as you have other things on your resume; work, sports, clubs, nice SAT/ACT scores, volunteer hours, et cetera, you're fine. If you can say you tried, in all aspects of High School, then you're fine.

School does count for something, and if you are in college, you should make sure you get everything done, because no matter what you do in college, you can't just fail the course and re-do everything... Just don't kill yourself over an exam, or a project or something. School is about learning and growing and becoming something great, not about stressing yourself to the point of insanity and giving up.

Believe me, there are tons of things that are better to worry about than your Native American Art History research paper's thesis statement.

But do you see where we need priorities and plans? So we don't get stressed and angry.

I'm not worried, why should you be?

So just, shut-up about grades! Have some fun with me.
Let's just stop. Take a breather. Chill-out and be kids while we can still get away with it. Please? Let's forget all these miniscule problems we have with our friends and get the group back together. Liz, this includes you too!

Jansen, you're so right, we are losing contact, and our group will die if we don't start mending ties right now.

Vy-anh, whatever or whoever makes you angry, face your problem(s) and work it out. If that problem somehow has to deal with me... Let me have it, make yourself feel better, and we'll go on.. I need to change my ways sometimes, so just do it.

You don't have to like everyone, and you certainly don't have to be sweet Anh-Vy all the time.

Sammy, what's been on your mind lately? Let it out, have a good cry, and let's go back to the way things used to be.

Daniel, David, stop being strangers, and come back... Do yourselves a favor, and get life straight.

Robert, Amy, prioratize! Make time and enjoy life.

You guys are all I have and I love each and every one of you dearly.

Love always <3

CLT: As cliche as it is, my biggest resolution this year is to lose weight. I want to have lost 15 pounds, but I doubt that is possible. If I'm complaining about being sore, first, smack me and tell me to stop complaining, and then tell me it's worth it. xD
