Quash! Quash! Quash!

Hehe. Quash is the word of the day... it means to "annul, to cancel, to crush, or subdue". Like, "Dude, you just got totoally quashed!" I mean, this word is so fun to say out loud! Try it!!! Quash! Quash! I promised Laurel I would make this the title of the post :). I get the word of the day thing sent to my phone. This is today's. Yes, it's awesome.

It was absolutely embarrasing, awkward, embarrassing, and really funny what one of the things that happened today was. So there we are, changing in the locker room, and I hurry through it to get outside. (Because it's a nice day and all...) So I finish and charge out the door. I slammed all my weight on it, expecting it to open. It didn't. Let's just say, I'm pretty lucky I don't have a bruise. But then we all try to figure it out while I slam into it again to see if it was just stuck. Turns out, there was a huge lock right above our heads. That we were supposed to unlock first. Yup. So I finally get out, and Zack's there, leaning on the wall, shaking his head. I'm like "What?" And he's like "You know you're supposed to unlock it first, right?" And I'm like "You heard that?!?!" And he's like "Yeah. I heard you slam into it, comment about how it won't open, and then slam into it again." Aw, crap... Lol. That didn't help my "I'm not clumsy!" case.

Ugh, we switched seats in lit/eng today. I now sit next to *UGH I can't even say it* Kameron. *Cry* But Elizabeth is next to him on the other side, and Zack's behind me, so maybe it'll be okay? Or maybe we can switch him for someone... Or me. I'll switch with Linnette. Then I'd be in the back, get my writing-the-homework-on-the-board job back, and be next to one of my friends. Actually next to one, not with someone in between. And that would make talking to Elizabeth easier- it I was behind her at a diagonal.

We took even more notes in science. When do they stop? I did a contract and got 2 bonus points for it! Yay! And another that I still have to grade. Those were the easy labs, now I have the hard ones. Woo-hoo. But I'm doing these contracts, I don't care how difficult or boring they might be. My grade is too important.

Math. I was really, really nervous about getting our tests back. I got an 84%. With 5 extra points. Eeeekkk. But that was a terrible chapter. And mine was the one she stopped grading halfway though because she couldn't take it. I got like all of them wrong, but not fully taken off points, because I showed all my work. But once she picked up again the next day, I got the rest right. I didn't get a single question wrong on the back. And those were harder. Go figure. I'm doing it again- getting the easiest ones wrong and the harder ones that everyone else gets wrong right. Ugh. But this chapter is so easy! Probability and analyzing words. Hehe, I got that down pat. I might have over-analyzed some of them, though. Like that one about where they were sitting. I kept asking stufff like "What if they have names on the chairs?". Hehe :) I'll analyze anything you ask :).

Today was liturgical prep. Before we had study hall, she had us reading brief sections of the bible out loud. For the very last one, I opened it randomly and picked the smallest chapter. Well, I just happened to pick it in the "Book of Songs". She wanted me to sing it! I was like "No! No way! I'm not singing!" And then Tommy, Michael, Sean, and Blake got up and sang it. And repeated the one they thought was the chorus. Lol, I'm really going to miss my class... :'(. I really am. Well, most people. Screw the others. Lol, but nicely :).

Well, I'm going now, seeing as I have soaking wet hair and I'm going to read the science lesson tonight. Yep. It's my grade, and I'm taking control of it. Oh, and BTW, I tihnk I might've converted Austin to MLIA. Yes, I'm that powerful. Lol.

Maybe, Maybe Not

Dad's on business in Norfolk. When we went there in the summer, it was different. Really different. I used to have hopes that one day, we'd move back into the same house and continue our normal processes there- but a bit of those dreams vanished everytime I realized that I love Florida and my friends. But it still felt like the world had continued to move on without us, not caring that we had moved, or that a new family was there. Life just kept going, never slowing, pausing, for it to realize its occupants had moved. It was sad. But I'm still a Virginia girl. But I'm a Floridian, too. I might not have been born down here, and I hate the heat, but this is where my friends, my life is. As Ashley Greene puts it, "I'll always be a Florida girl with Southern roots." ('Cause in the Civil War, weren't Virginians called Southern Belles? Idk.)

I really need to work on my science grade. It's an 80! But there are only like 5 grades in it so far, but it's not good! I need to pull that up so I can have straight A's. I didn't work all of middle school to ruin it my last quarter of my last year in one class. Ughhhh. I need to work on this... It wouldn't be an 80 if I hadn't taken that quiz that I missed the instruction and notes on. Stupid dentist :( But, it is my fault. I should have looked it over better knowing I missed it. Now all I can do is do basically all the labs possible. Which stinks 'cause I've seen them and there aren't really easy ones yet...

I really want to go to Zack's party, but then, I don't. I mean, I want to go to celebrate his birthday and hang out with him and my friends, but I don't want to be all alone. Sara is going to make Laurel hang out with her- even though Laurel's been my friend since ever. Sabrina and Maggie would be fun to be with, but they'll be talking about all sorts of inside jokes and I won't understand them at all :(. And, I mean, Jojo and Katelyn are only going because they get to wear a bathing suits. And Connor, Teagan, Blake, and Kameron are all going- blech. Whatever I do, I'm still going to get Zack something awesome... And he has 2 dogs. 2! But if he promises to keep them away from me, I think I can survive well enough... And I'm sure I can help Mrs. Sokolowski :). I don't know what I'm doing. I don't even know what I want to do. Ughh. I hate this feeling.

We went to Cracker Barrel for dinner tonight. I really want to work on TCB, but I have homework. I don't know. I really don't know. I keep pushing down this feeling, but it's still there, waiting for my to crack so it can flow up to the surface and wreak havoc on me. I don't know...
