Lately I 've been working hard at school. These are the things bugging my mind right now:
1. Current events project
2. Culture project
3. Dr. Gill's test tommorrow
4. Mr. Taylor's class
5. Music performance
My current events project is on Vietnam. I'm doing efforts to preserve Vietnamese culture. It was due Monday, but i didn't have it and I told Ms. Stricklin that I did it but it came out really bad so she's letting me do it Wednesday, which is tommorrow. Hopefully I can make a kick-ass project and get like a B for it being late. I hate this school. Like when I say I don't have it EVERYBODY has SOMETHING to say. What have I done to them like that? Why do they seek so much revenge on me? People that aren't even in my class know ALL the details. Why is it such a celebration whenever I fail?
My culture project for English class is also on Vietnam. Its due after the Christmas holidays but I'm trying to start early so that I don't end up in the same situation again. I don't mean to put things off. I just take so long to do my homework that all I can do is worry about the next day.
Reasons why it takes a long time for me to do a homework:
1. I'm so depressed half the time that I'm distracted thinking about my own misery.
2. I want to do really good quality work so I spend a lot of time writing the directions and questions.
3. Doing homework is a piece of cake if you've been exposed to the material. I come from inferior schools so I have not been.
Ahhhhh. The test. I kn ow what to study and haow to study. The trick is find in the time to do a current events project and study long and hard for the test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And in Geometry..boy am I behind!!! I thought I was doing well on the proof writing and everything, but it turns out I 'm forgetting. Geometry is a cumulative subject soo in order to do one thing you have to know everything from the begginning of the year.
And now for second period. December is a busy month. We had the Orleans Parish Christmas Concert last Friday night which was totally awesome.
Reasons why the St. Louis Cathedral concert was awesome:
1. Darjae and Jamesha were there. Living life on the dangerous side is sooo fun. Especially when you've got two ghetto friends to spice things up.
2. Joseph was there.And that makes just about anything awesome. It was so funny when we saw him and Darjae screamed out his name. Now Darjae only met him last Saturday and doesn't want him to know that she likes him. any way a friend of Joseph's came to music the next day saying that he saw me. I could tell that this dude liked me because of how interested he was in this hug....Asking if I was related to Joseph or something...Next thiing I know Kiana walks up and hugs me and I say, "See? Friends!" Then he says that he wants to be friends too and gives me the worst hug in the world because it was to quick and not sexy enough and says, "I'm agressive." Even Darjae noticed he liked me b/c, "He just KEPT looking at you!!"
3.As usual Ms. Kellis (who I only met Friday, but I"ve heard about) put her children in front EXCEPT for me b/c before the word viola got out of her mouth I was up there in 1st. Mr. LaCoste must have been bragging to her about me b/c she didn't make me move like she did everybody else. Anyway, the guy I was sitting next to was cool, but one of her other violas didn't take it so well. After we rehearsed, we went to sit down for the concert b/c the people that deliver the chairs did not do so and the strings had to play at the end so it was better for us to go last so that we wouldn't have to get up and sit back down twice. When we were sitting down Ms. Kellis came and whispered in the girl's ear. Then they started plotting to get 1st chair. Mr. LaCoste came over and we told him about it. He reminded us of the no whining rule. Alright, when its time for us to go up there Jamesha put her booksack in viola 1st chair and Mr. Washington moves it. Bummer, but still Ha!!! I got up there first cuz I got up faster than the other girl. When I got up she was like, " Look at this" and Darjae said," Yeah and I know you gon' leave her alone." Afterward Antie Cynthia and Uncle Walt came up and said congrats.
This Friday we have Ben Franklin Christmas Concert (which will be on tv) Then comes the Saturday Strings Christmas Concert at Bradley and then the Summer Camp is doing a performance at Omni hotel.
Last night I dreamed I had a project due and when I presented it to the class she criticized it. I kept my cool and suffered the humiliation. After each project each person had to write a note with on e good thing about the project. Ppl decided to add "constructive" criticism and he didn't even write one, but that's just how life is for me.
