Today was such a good day. Mr. Porter caught me in the hall and told me how happy he is that I'm in his class and he loves my dedication and hard work. It really brightened my day. I now want to work harder because I never really complete all assignments on time. Then Mrs. Burnham left me the sweetest note in my ceramics locker. I feel bad though because Vincent was the one who bought her the gifts and cards, I just signed the card in a really meaningful fashion. I really like her. She makes me laugh. Then I went in during lunch to finish my cereal bowl. I really like it. I carved the symbols on my necklace into it ("peace" in Korean). During Spanish Mrs. Pacheco just made me so happy so asked me about when the grapefruit was coming and she just always smiles at me. At the beginning of the year I told myself that she was a horrible teacher, but now I realize that she's actually such a cool person. And bio consisted of Mrs. Anderson and I stayed after class to talk to her about my Leave a Legacy project. I'm hoping to do something with fish hatcheries and water quality of rivers. Then possibly go to Bryant and teach the kids about the importance of keeping the rivers clean.
Yesterday I bought Thoreau's Walden...I hope to read it even though Atherton claimed it bores you to tears.
This weekend...for some reason I really only feel like only seeing a few people. I have found myself disliking the company of a lot of people and wanting to move on from old friends. I know that's bad, but I really just kind of want to get on and get to know the people in my grade. It's not that I don't want to see the people that graduated, but I really want to see my friends who are still in high school.
Life is good right now.
