Global Regents

So my Global Regents was the day after my Chemistry regent and I was scared. Luckily Will, Kate and Angie were there so I was with them before the test started. We wanted to get seats together but it went by period in class, so I ended up sitting in front of Wren.

Then I had to wait 40 minutes before the test actually began and in those 40 minutes, we accidentally peeked in and found out what the DBQ and Thematic essays were and tried to come up with ideas.

The actual test wasn't all that bad. And when I got out I hung out with Charly, Will, Laquan, Aaron, and the rest of the gang. Nate and Wren were nearby and Nate said hi but otherwise ignored me. Which is fine to me because he isn't my friend anymore.

So my chem tutor (the physics teacher) came out and she said a quick hi to Nate (Nate is pretty much attatched to her) and came right to me and told me that I passed the chemistry regents with a 65. Aaron was standing right next to me and I turned to him and started screaming and jumping. I passed the class I was worried I would fail! I then knew that I would pass the Global Regents too.

After she left; Will, Laquan and Aaron took turns picking me up. It was not fun, especially when Will threw me up in the air, the second time I moved and he caught me but he ended up falling onto the ground. We were both fine though. No broken bones, no scrapes no cuts.

Of course after that I went to Frank's house for dinner and then we went to Youth Group. It was cool of course I felt a little out of place at Frank's house because I don't really know anybody. Youth Group was fun though, we played a game and learned stuff and then we played soccer. But I was stupid because I went to the exam in my sandals and I didn't bring sneakers so I was playing soccer barefoot, and Salad kept kicking me on the same foot so I was in so much pain by the end of the night.

But it was fun because it was mainly just me, Salad, George and Salad's cousin. We made plans to go to Salad's house on Monday and Salad and another girl took the jump ropes and tied George and I together. We didn't really get into trouble, the guy told us to do that on our own time and when I tried to get Salad for doing that, he (the guy) and Salad said "Oh come on you know you liked it"

There was a few jump rope things, we played a little soccer and at like 9:15, my dad picked me up and we went home.

I ended up getting a 92 on my Global Regents. I was so happy :)

Math Exam

My math exam was on Friday the 13th and it fit because some of those questions...I had no idea what I was doing.

I got there and I was talking to Chloe and her friend Sophie (a 9th grader who is gorgeous) so I was talking to them a little bit and I hung out with Will and Kate for awhile and we walked in and we got seats near each other, Wren, Pepper, Al and Paris. Just in case.

So one by one we finished our tests and Kate, Paris and I finished our tests at the exact same time, and we walked out together while talking about the test and what questions we thought we had trouble on.

We got outside and hung out with Will, who had finished before us, and George's ex girlfriend but after awhile and after signing Kate's yearbook I left. They tried to get me to stay but...oh well.

I ended up getting a 66 on the exam, meaning I passed but I could have done much better.

Chemistry Regents

My Chem regents was on the Tuesday after my math exam and I was ready. Overall I think I spent about 15 hours studying. 10 hours in the review sessions and 5 hours listening to the recording I made (Which means I listened to it about 10 times).

So I got there and met up with Kate, Pepper, Angie and everybody in that group. Then Kate and I went over to Aaron and Salad and I gave Salad a hard time because he called me the day before when I was with George and Salad once again interrupted a romantic moment. Not that it was anything new.

So the four of us made plans to sit in a square so we could copy off of Aaron but we didn't have that kind of luck. By the time we got inside there was no way we could have sat together. We tried but the seat Salad was sitting in didn't have a test on it so he made me come with him up to the front so he wouldn't be alone.

Before the test the two of us talked about a lot of stuff...mostly Chrissy since she wasn't sitting too far away and Salad really needed to get over her.

And then the test started, I was ecstatic to see that the first couple questions I actually knew the answer to. But after that it got harder, much harder.

About three quarters of the way through the test, Salad leaned back and asked if I was almost done and I told him I was. So after that I finished up the questions that I knew and I asked for the teacher. Unfortunately my chem teacher made me do the two questions I didn't know, so after some thought, I figured them out and handed them to her and walked out the door. YAY!

So I decided to wait for somebody I knew because on the other side of the outside area were the girls I really didn't like. They said hi and I said hi and I was going to write and get my music out but when I did Salad walks out and says "Let's go to George's house"

Yeah I'm not going to turn that down. An afternoon after my chem regents with George and Salad? I'm there! So we start walking towards his house and we talk and stuff, but when we get about half way there I realize that George is probably working (which would make sense because he didn't answer his cell phone) so Salad says "Okay let's call Frank" so he used my phone to call Frank...he didn't answer. So we guessed he was still taking the test. Since our houses were on opposite sides of the city (we could probably both go to different schools) we decided to see each other later.

Of course I get home and find out that Frank called me back 5 minutes later and George wasn't at work and when we were going, he was home alone. Lucky us.

I ended up getting a 65 on the chemistry regents. Meaning I'm done and I never have to take chem ever again.

English Exam

So I had an in class English exam that was to be two days. It was supposed to be the 10th and 11th and we would have a party on the 13th, but that was changed for several reasons.
  1. The 13th became a testing day
  2. We got out early on the 10th because it was too hot.
So our exam dates became the 11th and 12th. The first day was multiple choice and I thought it was pretty easy.

The next day we had to write an essay based on several readings, of course we had a sub that day and just as we were getting situated the fire alarm goes off and we are all sent outside. So I hung out with George because his class was right next door to mine, which meant that I got to be with him...and Frank...Frank was there too.

Rayna was there too, she was talking to George a little bit, but you know he doesn't like her very much so I doubt he was listening.

When we got back to class we were given extra time to finish it in 9th period...unless your 9th period class had a test, then you had to leave your name and number so our English teacher could call you. Lucky for me I just had Advanced Journalism (which I got an 85 in) so I could stay later without worrying about missing anything.

Report Card

Ok so I got my report card yesterday and I was freaking out for so many reasons.
  1. I was worried about my Global Regents
  2. I was worried about my math exam
  3. I was afraid that the report card would say that I skipped classes

Yeah I found out the day of my Global exam from my Chemistry tutor that I passed the Chem regents with a 65. And Aaron and I were jumping up and down because I was so happy.

Then I found out yesterday that I got a 66 on my math exam (I didn't study), a 80 on my English exam (didn't study), and a 92 on my Global Regents (barely studied) so overall my average of grades was about a 75 which is pretty good for me.

Next year though, I'm sure I will do better.

Chloe vs Tawnee

So Chloe and Tawnee were like bff's since we met in Study hall at the beginning of the year. At first the 3 of us were shy around each other, but we soon warmed up to each other, especially when we went through Tawnee's fashion magazine's. It became tradition for us.

So you can understand that it seemed like fate when Chloe moved close to Tawnee. They started spending practically all of their time together. Before school, Chloe would come for breakfast and for a ride to school, then after school they walked home together and spent time at Tawnee's house. Everything seemed right, of course something happened and they got into a fight.

The fight probably lasted about a week before Tawnee apologized and the two became close again. Then Chloe got a boyfriend and things were a little different, but they still spent time together. Of course one day when Chloe was at Tawnee's house, Tawnee had another friend over who needed to use the phone, so Tawnee brought her into another room. Chloe, being left alone, took out her cell phone and called her boyfriend to make sure they were still meeting up later and Tawnee came in, saw Chloe on the phone and flipped out.

They haven't talked since then. Tawnee feels terrible about it, but Chloe is glad they aren't friends anymore and calls Tawnee a witch all the time and doesn't go to study hall when Tawnee is there.

Thankfully they don't put me in the middle of it, in fact, Chloe and I haven't talked much lately because she never comes to study hall anymore and we don't get a chance to talk during classes.

Ketchup part 2

May 1st 2008

So on the first of May, things were still crazy. Maybe crazier if that was possible. Will still wouldn't talk to me, I was mad at Salad because he told George in the first place, George was sort of mad at me for not telling him about the bet and poor Angie was to go-between for everybody.

May 2nd 2008

This was the last day, the day everything just sucked.

George, Pepper and Al were going to the cafe that afternoon and they invited me to come and Chloe and I made plans at the cafe too because we haven't spend too much time together after school lately. Of course George found out about my plans with Chloe and flipped out because he, Pepper and Al don't like Chloe.

So I left school and Angie told me that because of what was happening, Pepper and Al (who were the "perfect Gothic/punkish" couple) were going through some issues because Pepper thought that because of the bet, Al was going to leave her for me (Not going to happen, I barely know him) and everybody tried to tell her that but she wouldn't listen, and he was crying because of it.

That evening when I was on my way to the cafe to meet with Chloe (I kept my plans with Chloe but skipped the plans with George, Pepper and Al because I didn't want to get beat up) but while I was on my way, Chloe called and canceled. I found out Monday that she went later with some other friends, and George didn't go either because I wasn't going.

Everything is fine now. George and I are still together, Pepper and Al are still together and Will and I are back to being friends...of course Will now despises Salad and Frank too because he thinks that they took a joke (aka the bet) too far. I'm so glad this is over because this was the suckiest weekend I had in awhile.

Ketchup part 1

Ketchup (which is Catch Up or catching up in...well...my vocabulary) is what I really need to do with this blog. My last post was on May 8th, which is almost a month ago and I promised to add a whole lot of information that I haven't added yet.

Ok so here's the story:

April 30th, 2008

Okay, so April 30th started out as just a normal day. But something snapped I guess because one minute I'm talking to Aaron and Salad after chem class and the next minute I tell them about this bet that Will made with me. (and I foolishly agreed to) And if you have read some of my previous posts then you would know that Will and I have made other bets that were pretty stupid...but this has to be the dumbest one yet.

So I got to Math class on April 29th just after Will, Jay and Al do and since they sit around me I made a joke about how I just fit in there. That sparked it all, Will and I made a bet that if I got there after them then I had to flash all three of them and George but if I got there before Will then he couldn't badmouth Salad, George and Frank for the rest of the year; Jay had to shut up for all of May and Al would be my personal bodyguard for 2 weeks. So I stupidly took the bet.

And I told Salad about it the next day, I also told him that Will has sexually assaulted me a few times (not a lie, seriously he has done this...often. Not so much anymore though) and Salad got upset. I told him not to tell George but he didn't listen. The minute George walked into the classroom, Salad went up and told him everything.

Anyway, later that day, Chloe came to my art class and I was talking to her about it. I also told her about the note that Will wrote to me saying that he wanted to be my first. Chloe told me not to show it to George because it would just make him upset.

I didn't listen to her. I showed him the note and he and Frank left our cafeteria and came back a few minutes later, refusing to tell me anything. All I knew for sure was that I couldn't sit with the guys during math anymore because I knew Will was upset with me...Frank and George wouldn't tell me what they did but I knew it had something to do with Will. I mean come on, I'm not THAT stupid.

I was right. Will wouldn't talk to me at all, he wouldn't even look at me really. I felt terrible.

Then after school Angie came up to me (she had been on a trip all day) and asked me what happened with Will (since he just told her his side of the story) but George turned me around and mouthed to her that I didn't know. And that was that, Angie could no longer tell me anything.
